Is there a way to get the SiriusXm App to work in Blackberry 6 OS on the Torch?
I called tech support and they said the phone is not supported yet.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
You will continue to have that problem until XM fixes it. We had the same issue with the 9650 version, until they FINALLY fixed it a few weeks ago, but it took them FOREVER!
chrisy520:
Does your workaround only work for Howard Stern or is it good for everything?
As an aside:
I will go as far as to speculate and say that all Sirius needs to do is make a few adjustments on their end. The app works fine on the Torch as is...it just can't open the streams. I think I have read in the forums (or somewhere, but probably the forums) that it is possible that the Sirius servers simply don't recognize the Torch as an "approved-to-stream-to" device and hence the "not available, try again later" error.
The storm version works ..go to the website ..I think its xmradio.com/bberry or sirius.com/blackberry ...google it but the storm version works sometimes in the torch.....

I reinstalled the app...I still get "Service Temporarily Unavailable", but I will keep trying and report back if anything interesting happens.
I got the same reponse from sirius re the Torch 2 9810. Plus there is no work around as far as I can tell. I'm weaning off of Howard, but its been hard. I do still have my bold and can pit the Sim card in there. Sux.
