And thanks for all help you offered on BB10 OS subforum when I was racing against the clock to set up my Classic before the shutdown. It looks like I might not need that Classic after all, at least for now.Last edited by Lex24; 01-05-22 at 04:43 PM.

Bell Canada network with default service books, after battery pull reboot (BB Curve 9320).
Phone calls - ok
SMS - ok
BB Browser - ok
Opera Mini -out
Logic Mail - not tested
BB Maps - ok (but no current location ping)
Google Maps - stuck at Terms & Conditions
The Weather Network - blank window
CB Forums - crashing
I have removed "BB Email" from the list because it will never work without BIS.
Now the network connection icon (top right corner) is firmly set at 3G (w/o BIS logo). BB Browser came back to life and works quite well on lighter websites. Google Maps keeps getting stuck at T&C, just like it did years ago. The Weather Network starts ok but doesn't show any information. CB Forums app keeps loading forever and the only way out is Ctrl+Shift+Del reboot.
It doesn't look good. I will try Anworm service books later.Last edited by Lex24; 01-07-22 at 03:26 AM.

People who had BIS will lose BBM and BlackBerry email. That was expected and I think they're likely still enjoying the phones or they're heading off in a new direction. It's all good.gerson008 likes this.01-06-22 02:47 PMLike 1 - 1)@Lex24 It would be a good idea to back up your existing service books before proceeding. There's an MMS service book in there that controls picture messaging and should still be good.

2) I have updated my last post, where The Weather Network app was classified as "inconsistent". I should have done battery pull reboot before posting. After such a reboot The Weather Network app just shows the blank page in every section (Current Weather, Hourly, Daily etc.):

3) It seems that some BIS related services somehow come back to life after BB reboot, unfortunately only for about 5 minutes. Here are two screenshots taken after the soft reboot (Alt+Shift+Del):

This makes a big difference with The Weather Network app. During those five minutes it works just like it did before the shutdown. I didn't have a chance to test any other apps.

The app is identical in appearance to the app that was in the store and definitely works with the Anworm service books. Unfortunately, the internet archive preserves .jad files, but not .cod files, so if you need it, let me know.
I'm curious to know whether your Google Maps will work again once you update the service books.01-07-22 07:17 AMLike 0 - Update: 2022-Jan-08 0015 EST

I ran those tests yesterday but didn't have time to post. Anworm service books didn't solve the problem. They just made BB Maps icon disappear from the phone (but only with Direct TCP connection and not with WiFi).
I have a new BB 9320 in the box, with an older OS. I'm going to wipe it later, install the latest OS, put the SIM card in and run the test one more time, this time around on a phone that has never been connected to BIS. It might make the difference.anon(10512033) likes this.01-09-22 10:37 AMLike 1 - @Lex24: I have the following service books:
Wi-Fi TCP/IP Browser [BrowserConfig]
Wi-Fi TCP/IP Transport [WPTCP]
BlackBerry Identity [BBID]
MMS Client [MMS]
Browser Config [BrowserConfig]
WAP Push [WAPPushConfig]
MMS Config 2.0 [WPTCP]
I suspect that I don't need the BBID (I've never entered one on this device), but it's not hurting anything, so I'm leaving it in place.01-09-22 10:52 AMLike 0 - Also, after you mentioned it, I installed Google Maps 3.0.1 and it's working for me. I had to restart a few times and scroll down on the terms and conditions page really fast to get to the accept button. It also seems to work best with WiFi off.01-09-22 10:55 AMLike 0

- BlackBerry browser isn't working on my Bold 9900 WiFi.
I can't open any web page and there is no YouTube as well.
What Google maps are you talking about?01-09-22 07:00 PMLike 0 -
The Google maps app is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...zmqS_F9uDD7RGy. You might have to click on the icon on the right side of the page to see the file names.
Download the folder ending in "v3".
Unzip it and put the folder on your BlackBerry.
Then open the .jad file with your BlackBerry to install.01-09-22 07:47 PMLike 0 - Except the ship's not sinking and the deck chairs are all in the same place. I'm in Canada, 3G is scheduled to last a few more years, and I've been using the phone without BIS since 2014. Every app that worked before the shutdown still works.

I suspect that Google Maps should ideally be installed in the open space outside, in clear view of the satellites. I will do this later.Last edited by Lex24; 01-11-22 at 07:00 AM.

BB Browser, Opera Mini, CB Forums, The Weather Network can all connect without any problems.
All the installation files are identical to those contained in the zip archive available in post #20 above. The same files were used to install GMaps on a few of my BBOS phones in the past. The only difference is that all those phones were setup with BIS.01-12-22 03:03 AMLike 0
