Please Login to Remove!

I'd be happy to but I got myself removed from the software config on the BES a while back (due to this issue) and have been using Google Maps now with no issues. It's the software config that causes the problems. I just wanted to get a couple people who got the lockup with the older versions to install the newest version to confirm, that's all.

Confirming that it works on the latest 4.5 OS for the Curve 8320. I always got the lockups before. I was stuck with 1.6 for the last month or so.

OK I am new to a blackberry. I have a curve (8310) from AT&T with OS 4.2.2.170. By using the tips in this thread I have gotten BB maps to work. However when ever I try to download Google Maps to my phone via OTA I get the message "The item you selected cannot be displayed. Do you wish to save the item?" I click "Yes" and it saves to a default folder "Device Memory/home/user". I then get a screen titled "Downloads" and it shows the file and file size. What do I do now?????????

What does this step mean exactly?
3.) Extract Files to the OS directory and replace any duplicate files. Make sure you copy whichever ones its asking to replace beforehand as well just to be safe.

Which OS directory do you extract this to?

dumb question - do we delete all existing "lbs" files from the 4.5 java folder? or just copy over the files from 4.2 and overright some?


2. BB Maps. The issue is that the version of BB maps that comes with 4.5 requires a service book, which at&t refuses to push down (or, more accurately, pushes down blank service books). The solution, of course, is to load an older version of BB Maps. Replace the LBS.alx file with the file from a 4.2 installation and copy all of the modules (cod files) with "lbs" in them from the 4.2 installation to the 4.5 java folder. Then run app manager.

1.) Download the BBMaps software from RIM, youll need to fill a user information page before the link. It doesnt have to be a real email address. ( Download )

3.) Extract Files to the OS directory and replace any duplicate files. Make sure you copy whichever ones its asking to replace beforehand as well just to be safe.

4.) Run the AppLoader application and choose the supplied ALX file and then continue the install.

Now I tried this and received the "no additional applications designed for your device" which Ive been getting for everything anyways. But I continued to the next page and the apploader already grabbed that ALX file because there were two Blackberry Maps options to choose from and install. I checked the details and chose the one that had all of the modules that were in the BBMaps ZIP file from RIM.

If you do what was listed above you will have BBMaps no matter what carrier or OS youre running.

Im currently running a Curve 8310 on AT&T with OS 4.5.0.37 with no issues

Enjoy

Worked perfectly!! I LOVE sticking it to AT&T when they pull crap like this and try to take things away. There is NO WAY I would ever buy the neutered version of Telenav they offer. I run Garmin on my 8820 and LOVE it.

Default On-going problems w. bb maps

Firstly, thanks to tips from this forum, I was able to upgrade my 8310 to OS 4.5, which gave me access to applications I needed. Thanks.
However, I'm stumped on this bbmaps issue, which I had running before and which I also need.
I'm a novice, but it appears that when I installed 4.5, it upgraded my version of bbmaps, which now is blocked.
I did find two versions of 4.2, both of which I tried installing to my computer at different times. But in both instances, I couldn't find any directory containing the 4.2 files on the computer after what purported to be a successful installation.
As for these instructions:

.... Replace the LBS.alx file with the file from a 4.2 installation and copy all of the modules (cod files) with "lbs" in them from the 4.2 installation to the 4.5 java folder. Then run app manager.

Since I can't find the directory, I can't locate those files. And I can't find them in the existing version of 4.5 I have installed, either.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I followed all the steps above and got this error, although BB Maps does show-up in Applications.

"Error starting net_rim_bb_lbs: Class 'net.rim.device.apps.api.quickcontact.QuickContact Icons' not found."

Anyone got a solution for this?

Default Help!

so, i got to the middle of page 3 and have tried about 8 different things to get bb maps to work on my at&t 8310. clearly, i am the biggest moron on this site because i still can't figure it out. there is at least one thing from all of the suggestions that i don't understand.

i upgraded my software to v 4.5 and my bb maps is gone. i tried deleting it from my service books and from my desktop manager and reloading it by clicking on the link to download bb maps direclty from the blackberry site. the file that saves on my desktop is not recognized by the desktop manager. i also tried going into loader files and deleting all files that contain 'lbs'.

i have probably totally screwed up my phone because i can't even open the 'options' icon. it gives me an error: 'uncaught exception'.

can someone please help me? i mean, i am pretty much willing to lose my left arm to have my phone fixed again.

thank you!

Same here. ATT 8900 running 4.6.1.231. Have installed, deleted, reinstalled the os and apps so many times I think the device will fail. Best I get is the icon and the message as above:

"Error starting net_rim_bb_lbs: Class 'net.rim.device.apps.api.quickcontact.QuickContact Icons' not found."

Any clues here.
