I cant find it on app world going through my device, or download it via the PC as it says its not foer my device ??

What app?

Perhaps you are not is a supported country? Or don't have the correct OS version on the device?

Your title is a little misleading. What you are wanting to do is to download an app that is made for your device, but the app has not gone through the AppWorld approval process. Go ahead and give it a shot. If your phone starts having problems after the install, at least you will know the culprit and it will be an easy fix. The app may work without a glitch. It's your decision.

According to the developers, the app is released for my model / carrier / though the OS is the stumbling block 7.1 and i have 7.0

I would like to have a go and see if it will work or if needs be download 7.1 as well

trouble is it wont let me downlaod the app

hence the question ... any way round it

You need to downgrade your OS and then download the app.

Your posts are very difficult to understand. I realize that there seems to a language gap.

How about some basic questions.
1. What OS version is on your device now? (Exact version)
2. What OS version is the application saying that you need to have in order to install it?
3. What app is it so that someone else can check?

Ok

This the app

Buy Profile Changer - Automatically change sound profile using Daily Timer, Calendar Keywords and Location - Download Profile Changer - Automatically change sound profile using Daily Timer, Calendar Keywords and Location - Buy Apps from BlackBerry Ap
All carriers all countrys supported


My model is a torch 9810 V7.0.0.585

I know there is the possiblity it wont work fully with my os, but i'd like the option to try..

so far ive spend art loads on other profile apps, only for them to do sod all. due to blackberys archaic lock / security system.

To have to unlock the phone for the app to change settings, defeats the whole purpose off the app lol....hence wanting this new one which overcomes the lock problem

Ok. It reads "Required Device Software Smartphone: 7.1.0 or higher"

Yes, you need to UPGRADE the device OS to 7.1 if you want to use that application.

Or try this application. Buy ProfilerX - Automate Sound Profile switching - Download ProfilerX - Automate Sound Profile switching - Buy Apps from BlackBerry App World

Tried that, usless - makes changes but wont carry them out until you unlock the phone..

whats the point of that??? i want the phone to chage seamlessly as per my old android.

Ok. So update the device OS to 7.1 and try the app you linked.

[santa2512]

Is there no other way?

can i not side load it if i could get the app?

No. There's no other way. Even if you were able to some install it on the device, it would not work without the proper operating system.

Is there a reason you don't want to try updating the OS?

[santa2512]

No im quite happy to try an os upgrade....


Not done it on a bb yet, so i would need to work out how

Ok. Well, then you will need to seek out a different application until you do so. No other way.
