Blackberry Myspace app problem?
Does anyone else have a problem with their myspace app on their blackberry? When I install it, i receives all of my myspace inbox, but from then on, it doesnt update. If I send a message from my blackberry threw myspace, that shows up, but I receive new messages, and cannot figure out how to view them in the app. I even tried logging off and logging back in and it still does not show them, so I still have to go threw the browser and go to myspace to read them... Anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it?
re: Not getting myspace app notifications
Hey all,
Finally figured out the problem.....
In an article posted on blackberrys website (blackberry support forum article KB16054) regarding "Not receiving message notifications (sorry can't post links on here), there is a note that says....
"MySpace for BlackBerry smartphones only notifies you of items for which you have turned on notifications in your MySpace account."
So, basically, what you have to do is go into your myspace account settings, click notifications and select which notifications you want to receive to the phone (new messages, comments, etc.). NOTE: This is not the mobile notifications area and after this, you can hypothetically get rid of your text message notifications.
Here's the second MUST KNOW piece. The email address you are sending your notifications to should be an email address that is setup on your blackberry. When the email comes in, the phone knows its a myspace update and it shouldn't show up as a new inbox message but as a myspace notification.
I did this today and it worked immediately when a new message came in.
NOTE: This won't work with your phones MMS/SMS address (eg. [email protected]) the myspace notifications must use an email account that you have setup on your blackberry as an email address through Blackberry Internet Service or Enterprise Server.
