Widgets on pre 5.0 devices

At a high level, what are the OS 5.0 required features that are not available for devices running OS< 5.0? ="" in="" other="" words,="" is="" there="" going="" to="" be="" any="" way="" to="" run="" widgets="" on="" older="">

I like the new method of development of widget, but it will be a moment very, very long time before of OS 5.0 will be widely used.  Once the new OS 5.0 is released for older devices, it takes a long time for carriers to make them accessible, and there are still like for users and companies to actually upgrade the devices more ancient (if any).

Hi Fred,.

There are two main components that are on 5.0 that allow widgets.

(1) BrowserField2 that allows custom JavaScript extensions

(2) BlackBerry Widget JavaScript API that are part of the operating system

So without these two items on the older operating systems, widgets do not work.

Updating and dissemination of the new operating system takes time.  It is a technology which is something that we are eager to build and also provide a new way for the development on new smartphones as they come out.

  • Configfree using bluetooth devices with external?

    I have a satellite M30 and I used a TDK Bluetooth PC Card. I love the software Configfree came with the laptop and noticed that it can detect the Bluetooth connections and wi - fi, but it works with pre-installed bluetooth devices. Is there anyway that you configure to use the bluetooth PC card device?

    Hello

    Sorry, as far as I know it is not possible using ConfigFree with a 3rd party Bluetooth card! You can not install it I the tool so that it is not detected!

  • Device not receiving push notifications

    I'm trying to use push essentials.  All my messages received a '1001' with a description of:

    "The request has been accepted for processing, but the final outcome is not yet known. This code is used in response to a request to indicate that the message was received by the PPG and seems to be well formed and valid. »

    However, the messages do not reach the device.

    I was able to reproduce the same behavior using the "low-level-sample" is a part of the push SDK service.  I can see the data arrows in the upper right flashes each time a push notification is sent, but no real message is received.

    My devices appear as active in the menu "subscription request".

    Thank you.

    Please try to use the sample client application developed for pre - 5.0 devices. First of all, you will have to remove all other applications using the same port to push the device. Once the pre - 5.0 sample is run, you will be able to debug to ensure that the device is registered and you can listen to all incoming messages.

  • Widget deployment problem

    I'm new to the blackberry widget dev process so bear with me. I have trouble getting my widget to work on the device itself. Here's what I did to get to where I am so far:

    1 developed a web application (Calculator). Coded in html, Javascript and css by hand.

    2. I made the recalcitrant xml file and images folder etc so it runs on a Blackberry device

    3. it works perfectly in the Simulator on my machine

    4. I bought, received and installed the signing keys. I think this has been done correctly because I followed the documentation and he went to the way it was supposed to, so know a reason to think that the keys are bad.

    5. update of the widget with the widget of REM conditioner.

    6 use BlackBerry desktop software to install the files on the device .alx file

    Now, I have it on the device and I always get the error "trying to access a secure api."

    What I am doing wrong? Any help would be awsome.

    D.

    When packing your widget, you must use the indicator/g so that she could sign the COD file, as part of the build process.

    You can sign your application later too.  To do this, run the SignatureTool.jar file located in the BlackBerry Widget SDK installation directory bin, select your COD file and click on the button request Signatures.

  • Monitor devices blackBerry Z10 - black except for the storage tab

    Hello

    My monitor of the device (from quick settings) is completely empty except for the storage tab. This means that battery, processor, and memory are all does not properly.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slowness comes, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:

    • Pre-BB10 ONLY devices. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
    • Peripheral BB10. Hold the top button until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the unit to be completely stopped (for example, nothing appears on the screen, no lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red light. Wait through the entire boot process. If this fails, you can try the method of battery-pull above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.

    See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Good luck!

  • Interactions of YouTube widget does not work in Cp7

    I was still not able to take advantage of the new functionality of the widget YouTube pre-built Interaction. When I try to test the YouTube video in the dialog box, I get a 404 not found error message. I get the same result if I publish the video in any case (I did in case there was a problem connecting internally on my computer). I use Mac OS x (server) Mountain Lion - computer brand new. I tried with the firewall turned on and off. I can access the same YouTube page directly without problem. There any video that I use. It just does not load via Cp7. In addition, the widget Web objects works fine. Any Mac users have this problem?

    I solved my problem. I thought that I should just copy / paste the link youtube gives you when you click on the button share. However, this does not work for me. If I copied the URL of the browser (which includes watch? v =) then it worked. However, I am disappointed that the button fullscreen is not available in Captivate, but it's still a very interesting feature.

  • Single-mode App - no longer works with Server 5.1.5

    After updating to the latest version of the Apple Server, 5.1.5 I am more able to lock supervised in single Mode App for applications not pre-installed iOS devices.

    Monomodes existing App for my iOS devices configurations are now broken.

    Anyone else seeing similar behavior?

    I have taken steps of troubleshooting: Update feature. Delete and Repush VPP apps. Reassign the VPP apps. Restart the unit.

    Down on the phone with Support Enterprise AppleCare today. The official solution is to lock the VPP Apps in Mode simple App using device groups instead of locking Apps VPP on different devices under Something MDM. Apple with changing Server 5.1.5 but workaround is completely functional for now, and it's good for me. I hope that this response will help someone else out there.

  • Access denied on USB drives

    I just bought a new HP ProBook 450 G1... running Windows 7... I inserted a USB stick to copy some of the files on my another computer and got the Windows Messgae "You have currently access to open this folder", then I press the button "continue' and get the message"you have refused permission to access this folder", and he says"to access this folder, you use the Security tab.

    I click on the link to the 'security' tab, but there is not any tab 'security' in the Properties menu for the flash player.

    My connection is the administrator and checked all access "."

    I also tried other flash drives and USB hard drive, and has been denied access on each of them.

    Not sure if this is a Windows 7 problem or a problem with the HP software pre-loaded, which I probably will unistall, but is waiting to see if you have an easy solution for this?

    It was the pre-installed "HP Device Manager" causing the denied access.

    For some reason, as a first step, good ball messages were not disaplayed, but later, after a few restart, I noticed the message.

    So I uninstalled it and I now access external drives... of course do not need that hassle to enter my password every time I attach a flash or external hard drive driver (and it only giving me access for 15 minutes).

    Maybe there is a way to change the settings in the HP Device Manager... but people don't have the time!

  • How to disable the UI on A2109

    I noticed in my question about 2 Anti Virus programs exisiting on the same shelf witout rooting togethr I could go back to settings and disable Norton and then I could install my favorite Anti Virus safe.

    My question is if I can do the samething to get rid of the Lenovo's UI from the home screen?                                                      Or it is ordered as Widgets are on other Android devices.

    I can live with programs of stock on my tablet as long as I can get them out of my way, as I have on my Iconia a500.

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but I was reading on my Tablet root and install rom of the mcl and everything seems a bit much for me, at least at this moment to wrap around my head.

    Once again thank you.

    You can remove widgets from the home screen of Lenovo.  Press one of them and red ' x will appear on all the widgets and icons.  Pressing one 'X' to get rid of the icon or widget.  You can also press and hold to move at this time of things.  When you are finished, press the button "Complete the Mode change" at the top.

    You can also try a different pitcher from the game store.  I have not really all of the recommendations are as I after trying everything myself.

  • BlackBerry Q10 Q10 will not receive any email unless that restarted

    From a few days ago my Q10 you will receive email only if I reboot it.

    I have 10.3.2.2474.

    I did not any changes of the BONE or the parameters - I just noticed recently that no e-mail had come, even if I was getting emails on my cell phone.

    This happened to me about a year after the update of the OS and I had to remove and re-setup my email account to fix it - but as I said I did not ANY changes to the settings or OS when it began.

    I delete the email account and try again, but I can backup is no longer the Q10 with link as my laptop is now Windows 10 and who seems to be a quite different problem...

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should translate a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    UH... what? I don't understand the correlation. Delete and re - integrating an e-mail account has nothing to do with making a backup via LINK. So I don't understand why you can't do it.

    Yes... discussed elsewhere:

    I'm sure there are other threads... but the fundamental question is if you have made the upgrade to Win10 with LINK installed, then you need very clean (which is a manual procedure of the entries in registry, folders, hidden directories, etc.) remove all traces of the BB software, then reinstall from scratch. Others have succeeded with that, so we know that it works.

    Good luck and let us know!
