I wonder why when I download an app that is 1mb and above. It will say "blackberry app has an issue and must be closed" I have tried uninstalling and install it back again but the problem still remains. Anyone can help?

QUOTE(senbonzakura123 @ Dec 1 2010, 10:15 AM) if u just want to use wifi only with ur BB, in manage connections make sure untick mobile network and just tick wifi, if u click both, the priority will goes to mobile network which u're not subscribe BIS so automatic deduction credit, just my 2cents so even i click wifi prefered it will use my data? BTW, i am currently not subscribed to bis yet... If thats the case i am doomed already.. i have been downloading many apps this few days....  |

QUOTE(senbonzakura123 @ Dec 1 2010, 10:35 AM) yah, if u browse using native browser in your bb, and u want to use wifi and not activating your BiS, just untick mobile network and just tick at wifi, u can browse freely then, all using your wifi only.. but if u tick both, sure got deduction Oh i see....so the safest way now is to select wifi only if i want to download and use any apps?Added on December 1, 2010, 10:39 am yups but the safest way, u need to activate BiS to download because bb apps world including in Blackberry internet service, if u plan to just use ur wifi, u can only browse using ur native browser and u cannot using any Blackberry internet service or else, its ald count as ur data usage Added on December 1, 2010, 11:36 amso the apps is downloaded through blackberry browser? but i have selected hotspot browser so it should be using wifi to download.....

so if we want to try if that app is using data or wifi we just select wifi only?
and if it that app doesn't work that means it is using data? is this method accurate? |

QUOTE(dicksonbell @ Dec 2 2010, 12:10 PM) No you cannot install Apps World Application without using the BIS. Which is the BlackBerry data plan which is required for Apps World. When you install BIS Then you have access to free internet, free emails and of course access to Apps World... but strangely i haven't subscribe to Bis yet, but i have downloaded app world from bb website, and surprisingly i can download the apps.Btw when i was downloading the apps i was connected to my home Wifi. some ppl told me its using Wifi to download and some ppl say it's using your data to download.... so now i am a little confused... |
