    Very Important! READ THIS FIRST!!!
    **************************************

    There are 2 versions of QuickLaunch for the 8900: An OS 5.0 version and an OS 4.6 version.

    * If purchasing QL for the first time make sure you select the correct version for download.

    * If you are switching from a different device in the manner described below make sure you specify the correct version.

    * If you are upgrading make sure you download the correct version depending on your OS. You will have to contact mobihand in the manner described below if you have changed your OS since you originally purchased QuickLaunch.

    **************************************


    Important #2 - If you receive a 907 error
    during installation you should save your settings using the QL Backup / Restore function in QL Options, uninstall your current version, install the update and then use the QL Restore functions to restore your settings.



    Note: YOU MUST SET ALL PERMISSIONS TO ALLOW DURING INSTALLATION FOR THIS RELEASE TO WORK PROPERLY!

    Go to Options, Applications, QuickLaunch. Highlight QuickLaunch; don't click it.
    Hit the menu key. Select Edit Permissions. Set ALL permissions to Deny. Save. Then set ALL to Allow. Then save. Then pull the battery for 30 seconds.


    If you are a current owner of QuickLaunch for a device other than the 8900 and you wish to load the 8900 version on your phone and you did NOT purchase from Blackberry App World you must sign in to your account page at Mobihand.com here: Smartphone Software and Accessories- MobiHand Software Store Support
    and then click on the link that says 'Contact Us'.

    Fill out the form and have them switch your device type and they will get back to you.


    New Features in 2.17:

    Multi-click Launching
    You can now configure QuickLaunch to launch an app / function with a double, triple or quadruple click of a convenience key. In QL Options set the convenience key option to 'Multi-click'.
    If you have QuickLaunch to run from a convenience key a multi-click of your convenience key will launch your configured app/function. If QL is not set to run from a convenience key you can still start quicklaunch from Icon or a hotspot from a QuickLaunch supported theme and then double, triple or quadruple click the convenience key (after 1 second) and your configured setting will launch.

    Backlight Brightness
    You can now set a shortcut to set the desired brightness of the backlight.
    A handy feature allowing you quickly dim or brighten the screen.

    GPS Toggle
    Quickly toggle your GPS on/off.

    How to Configure the GPS Toggle feature:
    This feature works with macros simulating user key input.
    When you add this function via Add Application you will see an entry field labeled "Parameter:" These parameters must be entered for the GPS Toggle feature to work on your device.

    Enter the parameters in the following format: p1,p2,p3 (the p's are numbers)
    The first number (p1) refers to the position that the 'Advanced Options' selection is located on your Blackberry Options screen. For most devices this would be a '2'. The second number (p2) refers to the location of 'GPS' under Advanced Options. The third number (p3) will be the location of the 'GPS Services button on the GPS screen. (the one with 'Location On' and 'Location Off')

    If entered correctly the paramters should look like 2,6,2 or something similar to that depending on your device.

    Homescreen Hotkey
    You can now launch QuickLaunch by hitting the letter 'Q' on the keypad from your homescreen.

    To use this feature you must disable Home 'Screen Dialing' in your phone options.
    Go to Phone->Options->General Options->Dial From Home Screen and set it to 'No'.

    This feature might not work correctly if you have another app assigned to this key such as ICQ or QSMS.

    Note: If you are using a zip code for the weather you must re-configure the settings to use a 'Location ID' instead of zip code. Yahoo weather is currently changing the location id's and your city's id may have been changed recently. According to yahoo zip codes are being phased out and eventually only Location ID's will be accepted. So go in to QL Options and read the new instructions for obtaining your Location ID.
