Having to reboot my device (dev alpha) while constantly developing

• BlackBerry World acceptance tests still are on devices Dev Alpha?

  Hello

  Today, after waiting over a month for one of my apps to be approved and several weeks for another, my apps rejected.

  One of the releases said they were testing on a device Dev Alpha and my app showed some error messages.  During the presentation of my application, I never said that it works on the Dev Alpha device.  I have verified that the Z10 and Q10 areas in the submission form.  Not the Dev Alpha box - so I would not have expected the app to have been tested on a Dev Alpha device.

  February 6, I could get a physical Z10 (I reside in the Canada).  I quickly found problems with my apps submitted then the fixed, reconstructed and published for the presentation.  These displayed new apps is that the tester of BlackBerry World approval declare as default on the Dev Alpha device.

  My apps use OpenGL ES2.0.  Based on the behavior I saw on the Simulator, I don't expect not to work on Dev Alpha devices.  But I know they're working on a production of the Z10.

  How can I get these retested on a Z10 production?  Have I not all hope to get retested without having to again apply with a little better error reporting and wait another 3 to 4 weeks so he could be tested on a Dev Alpha (only to have it fail again test because it works on my Z10)?

  I only gave me one of my ID tickets in one of my emails of rejection.  It is 856058.

  Thank you

  Hi Marc,

  This was done by mistake. I get that corrected now.
  I have loaded the application on my Z10 and confirm that it works

  Thank you

• Does not send bad reviews in the BlackBerry world because applications do not work correctly on your last device Dev Alpha

  Published for the dev machines alpha builds are still limited and some PC applications are not compatible with the current dev alpha builds. Do not write bad reviews for applications, because they do not work on your dev alpha. The bad reviews do not help consumers who will use production devices. An email directly instead, the developer.

  Scott

  Very please, with sugar on top.

• Exchange for device dev Alpha: I can't wait for the Keyboarded model?

  I did some research on Google and Council research and could not find the answer. When alpha devices Dev 'time bomb' in Q1 2013, will I have to exchange it the model phone touchscreen? Or I'll be able to wait until the 10 BB with a keyboard device becomes available?

  For me the keyboard == superior!

  When done RIM Exchange, they will swap the course Alpha of Dev of devices for a special version of the touchscreen device developer. At this point, RIM didn't say anything official out of it, but at this point, I guess the current answer is no. The only way to know for sure if is to wait and see if RIM made an announcement.

• Device dev Alpha in coma :(

  Hello

  I have trouble starting my Dev Alpha camera. The screen remains black. The red light next to the camera flashes in a model of 1 followed by 6 short flashes. No idea what this means?

• Black screen when loading apps on the device Dev Alpha

  Dear all,

  can someone give me advice on the question? (I have found no similar post, so please forgive me if duplicate messages...)

  My configuration:

  -Alpha OS Dev device: 10.0.4.197

  -SDK Webworks 1.0.2.9

  I always get a black screen when I deploy & launch applications for the test (I use a debugging token)... I'm afraid that I may have problems of compatibility between the version of the OS and SDK Webworks... I'm about to upgrade the unit right now, but if anyone else has experienced the same problems, please let me know! Any help is very appreciated!

  Moreover, the two training simulators & VMWare work very well...

  Thank you very much

  Hi Marco,.

  Could you let me know if the update of device solves your problem?  If this isn't the case, you are able to provide example code, and I can test on my end?

• Requesting help to quickly test the app photo webworks on device Dev Alpha

  Hello world

  I was wondering if there is a developer who has a dev peripheral alpha ready to do a quick test drive of a photo app that we built.  It runs in the ripple and the Simulator, but it's really hard to tell if there will be questions about the real deal :-)

  If you could provide assistance to another developer, it would be much appreciated!

  Sure.

  You have a message. With a few screenshots set.

  Good luck with your application to finish!

• Cascade problem - black background on device Dev Alpha C?

  ... It's the theme setting

  There are two themes: light and shadows. They can be chosen in the bar - descriptor.xml

  Default bright theme Z10 and Q10 theme dark because it has OLED that will burn out faster with bright display theme.

  UPD: it is recommended to use a dark theme on Q10:

• Size dev Alpha icons?

  I feel like I remember the size of the icons being 92px or 98px.

• Gallery app on Dev Alpha?

  Hello

  I'm porting an application that needs to use a build-in photo gallery application to allow the user to select an image. As I see there is currently no such application on device Dev Alpha. So my question would be, how can I implement this feature, is there any class of Cascades exists for this or do I have to do completely in hands like I did on PlayBook for one of my Qt applications? (Invoker method does not work because there is no present gallery app on the device). Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You must use FilePicker

        attachedObjects: [
            FilePicker {
                id: imgPicker
  
                title: qsTr ("Image")
                mode: FilePickerMode.Picker
                type: FileType.Picture
                viewMode: ViewMode.GridView
                sortBy: FilePickerSortFlag.Default
                sortOrder: FilePickerSortOrder.Default
  
                onFileSelected: {
                    imgFile = selectedFiles[0]
                }
            }
        ]
  

  In addition, you can call PlayCloud

• Audio dev Alpha C Cup using OpenAL

  Hello

  I have some problem with the audio on my device Dev Alpha C and I was wondering if anyone else has had or similar problems or that he might be able to offer a solution.

  The problem

  When you run our game on a device Dev Alpha C, after a short period the sound effects cut. After that no sound effects are played once again, apart from very occasional snippets of sounds, as the device is trying to play them but quickly to cut again.

  The strange thing is that the same code works fine on the Alpha of A Dev.

  Implementation

  The sound effects are implemented using OpenAL and OpenALUT.  Our music is played using the multimedia rendering engine (and works very well).  I checked for errors from OpenAL, but it is not everything.

  Our installation of OpenAL is quite simple and in fact is the following (note that I cut an error handling form all my code samples for brevity):

  if(alutInitWithoutContext(NULL, NULL))
  {
      device = alcOpenDevice(NULL);
      if(device != NULL)
      {
          context = alcCreateContext(device, 0);
          if(context != NULL)
          {
              alcMakeContextCurrent(context);
              alGenBuffers(MAX_SOUND_BUFFERS, buffers);
              alGenSources(MAX_SOUND_CHANNELS, sources);
          }
      }
  }
  

  Sounds are then loaded by:

  void *data=alutLoadMemoryFromFile(filepath.c_str(), &format, &size, &freq);
  alBufferData(buffers[bufferIndex], format, data, size, freq);
  

  (There are some parameters of sound parameters that I haven't posted because I don't think that is where the error but I can add it if it could be relevant to reprogramming).

  Finally the sounds are played using

  alSourcePlay(sourceNum);
  

  I use SDK 10.1.0.1020 and Dev Alpha C is on the firmware 10.1.0.138.

  If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcome!

  On the problem of origin, was published a new firmware which seems to fix the problem. You can find it here: https://developer.blackberry.com/blackberry10devalpha/devalpha_update.html.  I tested it on our Dev C Alpha and it seems to work very well - I'm always test so will update if I have problems, but it seems OK so far.

  @beemaster - you might want to consider posting this question as a separate topic, as there is a good chance of people won't find it in this thread.  For what it's worth, we use MP3s in our game very well, even if we don't use of stunts and use the multimedia rendering engine to play, which could explain the observed differences.

• HOWTO debug Webworks on VMWare Dev Alpha Simulator?

  Hello

  I'm developing an application Webworks. I can't use training Simulator because it does not implement 'cards' and does not implement the API pim.contacts.

  I have no device Dev Alpha, so I use the VMWare of the Q10 Simulator.

  My question is:

  -can I somehow debug the webworks app?

  -I can at least see the console.log output somewhere? How?

  -Is taken in charge for BB10? : http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Web-and-WebWorks-Development/How-to-debug-BlackBerry-web-appl...

  -can I change my javascript and HTML without repackaging in ripple or command line. I'm changing code, repackaging, hoping for the best. It is not productive, and feels like the glacial period.

  Thank you

  Hi escay,.

  1. "I can somehow debug the application of webworks. Yes, wrap it with the - d option. Your Simulator will have an IP address in the lower corner. You should be able to connect to the Web Inspector via : 1337 and see your pages.

  2. "I can at least see the output somewhere console.log? «»» How? "Yes, you can see the console Web Inspector . After following the steps above.

  3. Yes, you can use web Inspector. Your device must be in debug mode and your application packed with - d.

  4. Yes, you can. Direct your config.xml to your local Web server. This will pull the content of the server application and allow you to be updated on the fly. All you have to do is to hit refresh, .

  Hope this information helps.
