    Set your APN to the appropriate server for T-Mobile. Start with that. If that doesn't work, then Slacker may have an issue initializing over a GSM IP tunnel on 2.0. Did the old version work properly for you?

    BTW, this should be in 3rd party apps subforum.

    Sorry, I'm a Newbie. I would send it to the right forum but don't know how.

    Yes the APN is set for tmobile.
    No the old version didn't work either.

    Error 500 means that it's not able to access to Slacker Servers..

    Try the following:

    1) Options > Advanced Options > Applications. Find the Slacker Application, highlight it and press the BB menu button. Choose "Edit Permissions" and make sure they are all set to "Allow".

    2). Options > Security > Firewall and disable the firewall.

    3). If you have wifi on your phone, disable it as a test. If Slacker works, then you'll need to make sure that your wifi settings are set properly.

    4). Lastly, reboot the phone by pulling out the battery for 10-15 seconds and then put it back in. Once the phone has started back up, try the application again.

    Best regards,

    Thanks for all the suggestions but i'm not sure why nothing is working.

    I am also getting the same error "logon failed. error code 500. failed to process request. java.io.ioeexception: TCP receive timeout. I get this error when trying to use Slacker.

    I also am not able to get Pandora to work. I get the error "Could not connect to Pandora"

    I also am not able to get Iheart Radio to work. It won't go past fetching configuration data. I get a timeout error after about 30 seconds.

    There seems to be a common theme of 3rd party software connecting to servers. I can browse the web all day long using the browser. However, when it comes to software apps, its a different story.

    I have attempted using pure .151 and .151 5.0 Hybrid with changing out the radio with the 132. I still get the error.

    I have pulled the battery, allowed all security options, disabled the firewall, etc.

    Does anybody know how to fix this?
