EARTHCOMBER: Blackberry - settings to make it work
Top Easy Fixes for Blackberrys

These simple settings can do wonders. Best of all, you can set them yourself.
Before you start tuning, make sure your Blackberry has a data plan - not just email. If you can use the web on your BB, you probably do. We strongly sugggest an unlimited plan!


* If the Earthcomber download still doesn't work, send us an email, and in the meantime, use Earthcomber on your BlackBerry browser

Fix Too Easy to Even Give It A Number:

If Earthcomber used to work with your GPS, but now stays yellow and your location doesn't update:
  • Open the back and remove the battery.
  • Count to 10
  • Insert the battery and close it up.
  • Start Earthcomber, "Set My Location", & choose "Turn on built-in GPS"

Fix #1: Give Yourself Permission
  • Press the Menu button
  • Choose "Options" (it's the little wrench... see image 1)
  • Select "Advanced Options"
  • Now, "Applications"
  • Select Earthcomber (or any other blocked application)
  • Press the ball or menu to choose "Edit Permissions"
  • Set every one to "Allow"
  • Remember to "Save"
  • Run Earthcomber and see if it's fixed.

Fix #2: Make your connection
  • Press the Menu button
  • Choose "Options" (it's the little wrench... see image 1)
  • Select "Advanced Options"
  • Select "TCP" (image 2)
  • On the TCP screen (image 3) enter the exact information - not your personal account. ONLY for the networks listed, and yes, with these old brand names:
  • Network APN Username for APN Password
    AT&T wap.cingular WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM CINGULAR1
    TMobile-US wap.voicestream.com (blank) (blank)
    Rogers internet.com (blank) (blank)
  • Save the information as you back out.
  • Run Earthcomber and see if it's fixed.

* You can always use Earthcomber on your BlackBerry browser!
