I could never get the ipd file to open. This worked well and easy.

Thanks for the tips. Sprint support said I had to talk to Yahoo. Obvisouly that's not the case.

I did have the "Connot sync read-only databases" issue

"The Desktop [SYNC] and Desktop [Cical] service book marks the databases as read-only, which prevents the data from being restored.

Resolution

Delete the Desktop [SYNC] and Desktop [Cical] service books. For instructions, see KB05010."

They come back automatically when you reconnect to the desktop.

Only noticeable thing I saw was my font changed back to the default of 10.

Thanks

followed your instructions. i'm now Y!Ming on my 8300. thanks!!

[necedemalis]

The editor is located under "Advanced Options" on the 8300 - not under "Options"

Yahoo is working perfectly now. No need to buy BeeJive anymore. Also a good free AIM third-party client is Rambler IM and it works perfectly too.

It's using data only. I don't think that it would be charging for SMS, since that's a different feature. The data plan includes unlimited data transfer @ 39.99 and 1,500 text (which are separate).

Thanks

This forum was my my answer all for my 7105T and verichat. When I had difficulty with my new pearl and Yahoo messenger, I remembered to try here for a solution. I love it here! Thank you again!!!!!

Anytime. =] I kind of understand why they referred you elsewhere, though; most carriers don't directly support apps like this (that is, third-party IM apps, or any kind of third-party apps for that matter), nor can they (at least, we at AT&T cannot) really directly support a specific BES server. Glad the solution worked for ya, though.

Hey Spencer...have you seen this issue?

Hi all, I did this many moths ago and works great.
But now I have a question/issue. I went into my BB Desktop Mgr and was going to delete a couple apps I don't use anymore. After 'unchecking' a couple of the apps and hitting next, it goes to the screen saying X app will be erased (normal)...
BUT below that it shows this:
Unrecognized modules that will be removed:
net_rim_yahoo_messenger
net_rim_bb_qm_yahoo_resource_en
net_rim_bb_qm_lib

I cancelled the delete before it went through, but I'm curious...if I go forward, I'm no rocket scientist, but I see my Y! IM going away. Have any of you had this same issue? If you can try it, but not go through with the actual deletion I'd appreciate it...curious if I'm unique!

Thanks all!

I got this same thing today. I've only had my Pearl for 2 days so I don't know what I"m doing LOL I can't seem to get yahoo to work either, it says I need to activate my handheld. I went through the yahoo mobile page that was linked above and it still doesn't work. Do I need to follow the original instructions? And what are service books??

Yes, you very much need to follow the original instructions back on page 1. Mine works perfectly. However, if I go to remove some other application that I don't use, I get the message that I posted...so I quit the removal and all still works.

[MySpaceRick]

Worked like a champ. you are a savior...

[bigpal]

This worked perfectly for me. I really appreciate your time and help in putting this thread together! What a great help.

Thanks again.

I have not, but I do know that those service books posted therein will definitely work with Yahoo! the same way they will here.

[marcusk]

Hi All,

Does anyone have a service book for the new blackberry yahoo mobile client? The old BBFS2 [YHO] doesn't seem to work with it.

Bleh, he's right. I had no idea this even existed. Hope someone can hook us up with this; my BlackBerry isn't unlocked and I can't test another carrier's SIM in it...not yet, at least...

[Kidberry]

Why would I want this? don't all bbs have the ability to dload AIM and yahoo. Isn't this offered by Sprint already? just asking not trying to fight.

[Kidberry]

I think this thread needs to bee attached to thread in the Rim Software area. I was confused. this is the fix for that problem! Many mods will link them.

[db inc online]

Any word on the service book for the new Y!messenger? I did the upgrade and can not find the last version to roll back to.

[preuegl]

I'm with db inc. I've installed the new version and now it's dorked up. Any one with the new service book? Please!!!!!
