FULL Blackberry on Cricket (working apps)

[Cedric Tsui]

Thank you for changing my plan Rich!

Hmmm. Ok. Now that I've had the time to test out my phone carefully. Only half of the applications work. Dropbox, Google Maps and Gmail are among the ones that don't work. They all downloaded OTA just fine, but then complain that they don't have data.
I deleted them, pulled the battery, installed them again, set all permissions to allow, pulled again, without any change in the result.

I'm using the service books that came with my phone. I bought it online already flashed. They are the insaincain to0InSaNE (newcricketedit) books. I looked at the other books posted in the sticky'd service collection thread on this forum using Magic Berry, they all seem to be identical.

Rich. You suggested I start with the cortez or stock service books instead? I did a google search for 'tony cortez blackberry cricket service books' and variations therein and haven't turned up anything. Any suggestions what to do next?

(Oh. Also. this forum is AWESOME!)

tony's books are not freeware that is why you cant find them. download google from google,and dont use the sprint or verizon apps,as they at some point will require a sprint or verizon password.dl'ing them from google will get you generic apps not assc. with a specific carrier. also we can change yer plan to the 55dollar plan and see what that does for you,at the very least you will have speed that you dont have now.

I keep seeing people say to switch to the android plan for a berry. Could someone explain how android data works on aberry? Just seems counter intuitive.

I usuallg set it up in CID as "cpe blackberry" and put it on the blackberry plan, which is the same price as the android plan now.
I have never had a problem with this method. Also, I am using the official cricket service books.

the android plan (which works for any smartphone) it is a different,much faster server,that will allow the user enough speed to stream video,also for allow access to the android market, the blackberry plan is just the plain old super slow"junkie"cricket server that doesnt have enough speed to get out of its own way...lol..

I say close this thread and open a new one, these new people are getting out of hand on this.I believe the original intent of this thread was just to say "Android Plan + blackberrry =apps" that's it. Not trying to be rude or anything
