[...] wanted to begin this article by saying thanks to Gergely for his useful weather app. When I first mentioned Gergely Gati’s weather app back in December I got a lot of flack about it not supporting every BlackBerry device. It did work like a charm on [...]

I now works great on my ATT 8310 running 4.5.x. Thanks for all of the work to get it working.

Just dl’ed the new version to my vzn 8830; tried the 320 resolution.

SWEET!

Everything seems functional. My only complaint is that the pgm asks for permission to access the server to update, even tho all permissions are set to “Allow”.

I like the display; easy to read; doesn’t seem to be taking much memory, and the icon is a nice touch.

Thanks for your efforts!

I want to publicly thank Gergely for the time and effort he put in to getting this issue resolved. I’m running a 8310 curve and the latest version (1.1.18) runs perfectly. And I”m using the 320 pixel version. If you’re updated from a previous (working or non-working) version, you’ll be asked if you want to keep your old data (cities) or not. If you’re a first-timer and you have Gergely’s Sunclock installed and set up, Weather will import the cities from Sunclock. Great app!!! Great price!!! Great support when problems arise!!! Next time you have a problem with an app, especially a free app from an independent developer, try e-mailing him/her first before bad-mouthing the product. You’d be amazed what a little communication can do.

I’m happy to hear that finally it’s working! Thanks for reporting back!

Boy I kind of feel stupid now that the app gives a no tunnel error message. Forgot to set up my APN when i upgraded my OS. It’s working for me now. Thanks, for the work you put into the app.

Oh and one more word for BlackBerry owners. I think it’s better to use the 240 pixel wide version on BB due to the strange (i.e. dislike other phones) screen aspect ratio.

Hello! I just released a new version of Weather which try to fix the BlackBerry issues discussed here earlier. Many thanks to Phred from Boston who helped me a lot to find the bug and develop the fix. Please let me know if it’s working finally or please report any malfunctions, I’ll try to fix them ASAP. Install the new version via the Update menu item or visit the website http://weather.midlets.eu and download the version which you need.

Just wanted to chime in and let you all know that I tried this app (OTA link. 320 jad ver) on my new AT&T Bold and it can not find “Atlanta, GA” “New York, NY”, or “Tokyo, Japan”. Or anything else I throw at it. Just letting you all know

Yes, I saw that people with problems have 83xx series.
But it was not very nice to read the “yelling” about a free app. And it looks like Gergely is absolutely willing to fix it.

I just asked a friend of mine with a 8310 (Curve) and it is working for him too. No issues. He has Firmware 4.5.0.55

Yes, I noticed that. And this is what I exactly want to test after xmas. Unfortunately nobody around me have a 83xx or 81xx device but I hope the problem will show up on emulator too. Another possibility maybe the network access server – sometimes there are problems with company servers but I think there are something else in this case. I’ll working on this problem in the beginning of January and I think the support of this community (with testing for example) would be very important. Merry Christmas for everybody!

Have you seen that all the people that says it works have BOLD, and the people that says not work has 83xx or 81xx?
In my case BB8310 BES not work, I have No Data message, can’t search cities, and yes, I have Internet connection and the APN is correctly configured, and other apps like Opera, Gmail, Gtalk, WLM, Yahoo Go, etc… work correctly.

WTF? Why do some people say it doesn’t work on Blackberries.
The developer site lists also a Blackberry.
I’m pretty sure that all people have tested it who write that it works.

I’m sure Ronan made his screenshots on his own Blackberry.

It’s also working smoothly on my Blackberry Bold. OS 4.6.

I added US and German cities.

For the guys with “no data”, maybe it’s the way how you connect to the internet. Missing APN settings?
I create connections over the BES.

Thanks for the info, now I’ll try to fix it tomorrow if the problem appear on the 8130 emulator too. The office was already closed when I arrived today but tomorrow morning I’ll try it! Thanks for the feedback from everybody I’ll fix it asap.

Worked great on my CDMA Verizon BB 7130e, but it didn’t work at all on my CDMA Verizon BB 8130 Pearl. Not sure why, would love to get a fix for the Pearl, its a great app when it works!

Works great on my AT&T Bold (OS 4.6.0.210). Found Washington, DC and Concord, NH (the two cities I track) without any problems. Also found Denver and Dallas. Nice app.

gega:
I am running a Sprint 8330 OS 4.5.0.77 CDMA EVDO and am having the same result as most others posted here. No data. I did a reset hoping would help but still nothing. This app looks nice, I hope you get it working for us as I would love to try it out.

gega-

Thanks for extra effort. Also, some of us are always looking for new Blackberry apps- especially for my BOLD.

Hey, I’m the developer and I see there are a lot of problems on BB systems. Actually I had a lot of problems with BB devices in the past too. On monday I’ll go back to the office and I’ll bring my office notebook home to test it on BB emulator with the newest firmware. Two friends of mine has BB and the midlets are working fine on their machines. I’ll try to do my best to fix every issue! Thanks for your interests! ciao, gega

Hey guys don’t know what to tell you. The app worked like a charm on my Bold without a hitch. Could be CDMA phones do not work but I don’t have one to test it on. On the other hand those screenshots are of my Bold and it found New York just fine when I searched for “New York.” Really sorry if it does not work for you…
