Which Weather Apps?

[jordoman]

I'm looking for opinions on the best free weather applications for any BB 8700 or above. Any opinions, critiques, and download locations would be appreciated. Thanks.

[jsanders]

BBWeather, hands down.

I'm using BBWeather. It's a great little program.

BB Weather says "Error: Something about not having a profile." then continues to lock up my device requiring a battery pull.

Any ideas?

[juwaack68]

Follow these steps EXACTLY and your device shouldn't lock up:

1 - Click on the new BBWeather icon.

2 - Since no locations are set up yet, you'll receive an error that there are no profiles set up, just click OK with the trackball.

3 - Press the trackball (NOT the Menu button) and click Options.

4 - Press the Menu key and click Add.

5 - For all US locations, use the zip code for the Location. Use this for zip codes you don't know, or for non-US zip codes:

ASP.NET Resources - Determine location ID for the weather server control

6 - Enter a description name (i.e., LA, Orlando, New York).

7 - You can keep the Forecast Days at 5, or increase it up to 10 days.

8 - If you would like the temp displayed in Fahrenheit, leave the Units as 'Standard'. For Celsius, change it to 'Metric'.

9 - Click OK to save.

Press the Menu button and Close/Save to back out.

Go in BBWeather, then into Options. Uncheck the MDS Proxy setting and you should be good to go.

I actully had to check it for it to work.

[juwaack68]

Aha....good. I don't have my BB in front of me *GASP*, but I knew it was something with that setting ;-)

Glad it's working.

How do you live.... LOL...

It's all the way in the other room and I don't feel like getting up.

And Ferris Beuller is on TV -the part where he's singing 'Twist & Shout' during the parade. Can't miss that.

[zerog32]

Ya gotta give that one to ya ... that's the best part of the movie.

I'll have to give BB Weather a shot, but Office Space beats out Ferris hands down.
