I tried posting this in the General Discussion, but I didn't get a reply, so I'm going to try posting this here...

I recently installed Viigo on my Curve 8300R. Everytime Viigo is pulling RSS feeds or searching for channels, I get a prompt asking if I want to allow it network access. Saying No to this prompt halts any action Viigo is doing. Just to check RSS feeds, this prompt appears about 5-10 times.

Is there a way to suppress this message or have an auto "Yes"? I have tried going into the Application Permissions in the security settings and changing it, but even will a full "Allow" across all the settings I still get that prompt.

Viigo is a great RSS reader and I would like to keep it. I just want to know how to get rid of this annoying prompt.

Thanks!

Hmmm, this doesn't happen on the 8100 so it sounds fishy. Have you tried uninstalling ViigoSE, rebooting, then reinstalling it from their OTA link? Make sure you've made a user/password first to save all your channels on their server (backup/restore kinda).

Maybe it's got a screwed up config file or something that just needs a scrub. $0.02, just a guess.

You need the reset your firewall not the persmissions. In the more advanced OS there is an menu item under Advanced Options. Let us know if that works.

When that popup window comes up, you don't get the option to "don't ask me this again?"

I tried that. Didn't work. The installation went fine and I don't suspect that it is an issue with any kind of config file.

I tried this as well without luck. My firewall was never on anyways.

No. It's just a yes/no prompt.

Ok do this please - I'll be more clear - or for a certain mod friend I tease - I'll type slower- Go into Advanced Options>Applications>Scroll to Viigo and go Open up permissions. Then when its open hit the menu key and reset firewall prompts. Please do this then report back.

I have followed your instructions and I have reset firewall prompts. This did not change anything

Or, when you are in there, set all the permissions to "allow." Resetting them will work and should give you the prompt when the app opens up. Setting them to "allow" should just allow access.

I have to ask....You're not on a BES are you? If not has your BB ever been on a BES?

One more try - did you read the first prompt that came up? Did it give you the choice to allow all connections and not be asked again?

I have changed them all to allow and I still get the prompt.

No my blackberry is not and never has been on BES. I just use the BIS for email.

The first prompt was no different than all the rest. There was no option.


This is a dilly of a Pickle huh? (Think Ned Flanders)

Ok then start from scratch. Delete the app, but first check what modules it has and delete all the modules. Then reset the firewall - first method and try again. If that doesn't help, I am not sure what will cause this aint normal.

It might be time to contact Viigo.

[KamileonX]

I have contact Viigo, and I have talked to them over the phone and via email. They don't have a solution yet.

Does ANYONE else have this problem? Does ANYONE using a CURVE have this problem?

[KamileonX]

I have a round-about (Emphasis on ROUND-ABOUT) way to fix the problem. I really like Viigo, but that prompt was annoying the hell out of me.

Eventually I backed up my Blackberry, and totally wiped it with JL_Cmder. Then I installed the latest OS for the Curve (4.2.2.265), and BEFORE applying my Restore, I installed Viigo on the newly installed OS. Viigo worked flawlessly. So then I performed my restore, and Viigo still works.

I guess there was some kind of random setting that prevented Viigo from accessing the network without a prompt? But anyways, my Blackberry is jsut as good as it was before, but now with Viigo working properly.
