    FOR PAID STORMSLIDER/BERRYSLIDER - Current Version: 5.0.*

    StormSlider - Personal Productivity BlackBerry Apps - Crackberry BlackBerry Software Store
    CrackBerryAppStore.com





    How do I upgrade to the latest update? Open the download link on your phone from other updates...or go to the site where you bought the app (crackberry/mobihand) and send yourself a download link...

    Keyboard Issue

    Why do I see this error?:


    StormSlider Issues

    Why wont it work? Are your permissions set to allow? You will need to allow permissions and then do a battery pull

    I'm locked out of my phone: Start in safe mode (Do a battery pull and hold down the back key while it's loading) then remove the application. Install the latest update and everything should be good to go

    Installed the app now everytime my phone boots up it freezes! Boot into safemode (hold down the back/escape key while the phone is booting), this disables third party apps and will allow you to uninstall.
    Restart your phone after uninstall and try again this time don't forget about the permissions.

    My Lock button doesn't start up StormSlider! Yes it does...Since developers can't MAKE their apps set to the lock button, there is a workaround in which you press the Lock button > normal lock is shown > You wait until the phone dims > StormSlider will automatically kick in....

    Exceptions

    Uncaught exception java.lang.error: Set your permissions to allow and restart your phone. If you don't you will keep getting this error and the app will not work.

    Uncaught exception: Field added to a manager while it is already parented: You denied a permission during the install. You will need to allow permissions and then do a battery pull.

    Known Questions

    Can we get a lock to portrait mode option?
    Not right now; however, you can use other locking apps available

    Rants

    There is a memory leak! Probably not, check out other apps first before blaming it on StormSlider

    This app is killing my battery! No, it's just the reboots from the updates...

    This app sucks! Well that's too bad, dmg took a LONG time trying to fix bugs and tries to make his customers happy, if you don't like it, well that's just life, now isn't it?.......We didn't force you download it, you brought it upon yourself.

    I want an update! Chill out, when an update is ready, dmg will post it....well you will also get an email about a new update available to download (unless if he just sends it out in the wild > then just open the original email (if you don't have it, send yourself another) > at the download page > bbmenu > refresh)

    Other Problems: For most problems (other than the normal rants people tend to post), a simple battery pull is needed. If that doesn't fix the problem check your permissions and see if their set to allow. IF you're still having a problem, post it in this thread.


    FOR FREE STORMSLIDER - Current Version: 5.0.2

    StormSlider - Free

    There is a keyboard on my screen? This is known as compatibility mode. To disable this you will need to restart your phone (just do a battery pull) and t hen do the following Options > Advanced Options > Applications > StormSlider > Menu Key > Disable Compatibility Mode

    Where is the options list everyone is talking about? There is no options list in the free version

    Why doesn't my default lock button activate StormSlider when I press it? StormSlider cannot be activated by the default lock key, screen dimming, or while on a call in the free version

    How do I activate it? It must be activated by using the StormSlider icon.

    There is no password prompt? Correct, password settings is only for the paid app...buy the full app to use this feature.

    Uncaught Exception 8: This is a known bug that happens from 12noon - 1pm, and has been fixed with the latest version. When ever the app world approves it, it will be available for download

    There is a memory leak! Probably not, check out other apps first before blaming it on StormSlider

    This app sucks! Then upgrade to the paid app, much better than the free app

    You should also add a section for future updates that DMG has confirmed.

    - Passcode buttons lighting up.
    - Custom background images.
    etc.

    Can we get a lock to portrait mode option? dmg has not found a way to lock on portrait, the app is a global screen...the normal orientation lock code is not the same as a global screen...
    I don't know anything about coding, but couldn't DMG just make the screen the same? when In portrait or landscape mode.
    like it will rotate (that just because it has to), but what it will rotate to is the exact same thing?

    am I making sense?

    Maybe I should haved posted this here instead of at the main thread page. My apologies.

    I have my slider on...Launch on Dim: No

    But after I lock it and get a call I have to unlock the phone after I click answer. Anyway for it to be unlocked on the answer? Instead of having to do it manually?

    Drift, should we make the FAQs by Free and Paid versions, like kept this thread but edit the OP and categorize it? So free users don't get too excited ahaha. Just a suggestion. It's fine how it is and very helpful to those who help themselves.
