go to SourceForge.net on your blackberry browser, then search for blackberry tools and refer to post 342 above. I used zip for location ID and I had to name the location; home city name whatever, and it works great. If you are on BIS make sure you check the box to 'disable MDS
good luck

Very cool (BBWeather). Put in my Zip as identifier and came right up. Appears to be formatted for the larger BB screens, as it scrolls over to view the entire display.

The BBToday app has issues on 4.2 devices. I wouldn't load it on the 8830. It occassionally will lock up the device.

Loaded BBWeather on my 8830, added a profile but it doesn't work for me.
Carrier: Sprint
When I turned off "Disable MDS proxy" I get this: "Error: Invalid url parameter"
But if it's on, it says this: "Error: Malformed Adress. Returning null connection"
What should I do? I tried adding internet.com for APN as suggested somewhere else, but it still doesn't work. With Disable MDS proxy, it just doesn't get info, with this error: "Error: Open tunnel -max timeout." If it's off, it displays same error as blank APN.

There shouldn't be any apn settings necessary for Sprint.
Did you check the profile and make sure you have the zip code in the Location ID field?

I tried city code. I tried zip code. So far, it doesn't work.
What's so odd is that it works for my brother with same settings I get malformed address error on.

Well. I finally gave up and did a handheld wipe. It magically fixed this problem. It works perfectly now. No idea why... You should do same after backing up.

BBLight on 8120 Pearl
Is the current version of BBLight compatible with the 8120? I installed it as I want the backlight to stay on when the 8120 is charging in my car, however, the backlight just flashes on and off about once per second. Are there settings I need to make, or, does the app not work with this phone?

Go to Options Advanced then TCP and fill it in. It may be different for your provider

This thread would be a LOT more useful if the first page gave some clue of what each of these utilities does, or at least a link (or links) to said info. I tried the 3 links in the first post and none of them took me anywhere that had any obvious product descriptions.

The product is very self explanatory. BBLIGHT is a back light product
BBWEATHER a weather app
so on and so forth.

I'll grant you the BBWeather *seems* intuitively obvious. And after reading the first page of the thread, BBCorrector is pretty clear.
But, you think "BBLight" is OBVIOUSLY a back light product? And I am merely assuming that that means it turns the screen solid white, so you can use your BB as a sort of flashlight. But, without your 3 word description, my imagination can come up with several different possible ideas that might be named "BBLight".
As for BBToday and BBReply, again, I can think of multiple (potentially useful) things I could write software to make my BB do that I might think to call either BBToday or BBReply.
So, maybe I'm just really dense. I seem to have given signs of that already on this BBS. But, BBToday and BBReply are not explaining themselves to me.
Anyway, as I said before, this thread would be a lot more useful if the first post were, for example, edited to include a one-line description of each utility. It would have at least saved, ummm, lemme count 'em, 3 posts that still don't fully reveal all the answers.
Just an observation.

BBLIght allows you to turn the screen on without it timing out...like when plugged into a charger, certain times of the day, etc. It's not a flashlight program.

very strange. I have been around this site for several years and these programs have been available since before me and I have never seen anyone ask what they do or what they are. But hey to each his own. Good luck.

Maybe before they got taken down for copyright issues, the post providing links also indicated what the apps do? Dunno.
I still don't know what BBToday and BBReply do. I will go do some searching to figure it out. But, none of that takes away from the validity of the comment that "This thread would be a LOT more useful if the first page gave some clue of what each of these utilities does, or at least a link (or links) to said info."
Of course, by "useful", I meant to people who are new to this site (and maybe BlackBerrys in general) - i.e. the people that I think Sticky Threads are likely to be most targeted at.
