I have it installed, yet it won't open. Any ideas?

[Stemkroywen]

I have NO ideas. Same thing has happened to me. Got my 8900 on Tues and Google maps work fine but I get no response from Live Search. Hopefully somebody out there can help.

I haven't tried to install it (yet), but I know with my 9000, I had the same problem. I read on the somewhere on the forums that Live Search isn't playing nice with the 4.6 firmware.

[mayormullet]

It works on pre 4.6.1.1** firmware like 4.6.1.76 or 4.6.1.94, but then the battery won't last quite as long. I hope MS fixes this soon, I feel deprived..

They need to either update it or kill it. I had issues getting it to work on the Bold as well.

I wouldn't even want it if it were not for it's ability to save search results directly to the address book. Why doesn't google maps allow this? It is the only saving grace for the otherwise ugly and finicky Live Maps program.

I just downloaded it on .174 - same thing won't open. Too bad. I liked it on WinMo - a bit more features all-in one. I guess Poynt and Google Maps for now.

[satellite1203]

Yep. Never worked on my bold and now not on my 8900. Too bad its good app.

[es_bih]

It works!!! Finally, I went on there to check it out, and seems they got a newer version out. I downloaded it, clicked on the icon, and it actually loads up now!

wls.live.com

finally! i've been waiting for it. i like it better than poynt IMO.

[es_bih]

I like point, the concept is great, but without a native map it kind of is over kill.

Live Search has weather, traffic, directions, gps, maps, local search - all for about 300k

versus 600k for google maps, and 300 for poynt

es_bih...i downloaded it and it still won't open?

what version do you have. i have .13898

[es_bih]

What I did is

Went on wls.live.com

clicked on "all versions"

downloaded the one for bb os 4.2 or higher.

I got the same version as you.

I have os .199

maybe it's the OS. i still have the stock tmo OS.

[es_bih]

I'd suggest going to .199 for sure. Not just for this, but speed, battery life, etc... as well are improved.

UPDATE:

NEW Live Search build is out, they added support for older
OS builds, I am on .114 right now as I am awaiting my replacement today and it works on here as well. They added the Movies and Web functions to it - it is growing to similar specs of its WinMo counterpart.

[es_bih]

The new build that you get off wls.live.com works even on .114.
