BlackBerry App World down for you? You're not alone

Having issues with logging into BlackBerry App World today? You're not alone. Many users have been reporting seeing the above error when logging in today or some other variation of. We're not positive as to when it started or when it will be back up. Although, at some point it did seem as though it was back then it went down again. We'll keep you all updated on this when it does come back up. In the meantime, check the CrackBerry App Store instead for your app needs. Thanks to everyone who sent this into us!
*Update* - Looks like it's coming back online for most people now

So it's not just me. I kept getting this while trying to upgrade a couple of apps I have and I DMed @BlackBerryHelp and never heard back. At least now I know it's going to get fixed.

I had the same problem an hour ago trying to update App World to the new version, it is working fine now... One thing I just noticed is that with the new version of App World, Blackberry Podcast got automatically installed, is this normal?

Dude, RIM will never fix their problems. It's one outage after another with these people. This current one seems to be related to blackberry ID because the feeds app won't login either.

You got that right. I have had trouble with App World since I got my new Torch. In fact I still have not been able to download a single app yet. The funny thing is I'm not sure I even care anymore.
AndresMor Feb 3, 2011 at 5:22 pm
I thought was only me. I'm not feeling alone anymore...
editionfws Feb 3, 2011 at 5:24 pm
I was just about to say the feeds app isn't working either. I'm sure its some sort of update.
arieltf Feb 3, 2011 at 5:24 pm
It's not just App World. I can't log in to Blackberry News Feeds either. It gives me an Authentication Failure: Unknown Error.

BlackBerry News Feeds uses the same login information. I couldn't login either...

Don't panic it will be up in short time !! is because to many users log in at once for the update and the servers crashed :D when it will clear a bit from all the rush for update it will be UP :)
Good Luck

blackcaneaddict Feb 3, 2011 at 6:03 pm

matsuidaman Feb 3, 2011 at 5:29 pm
i thought i was the only one.. i hope this gets fixed soon.. i did a restore and uninstalled it and everything.... ughhh
mightymikek83#IM Feb 3, 2011 at 5:37 pm
I been having this issue since this morning....
Knockz Feb 3, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Check your TCP IP settings.. especially if using a leaked OS. This started happening to me today and I forgot whenever I use a leaked OS it sets my TCP IP settings to something wrong. Once I set it to the proper Rogers settings everything worked fine.
joebmxx Feb 3, 2011 at 5:40 pm
glad its not just me
squane123#cb Feb 3, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Ok, I got the above message as well as "App world is undergoing Maintenance".... Damn you App World!!!!!!
zensen Feb 3, 2011 at 5:48 pm
undergoing maintenance. oh its apple a thing. they'll introduce something soon ;)
Drew Oswalt Feb 3, 2011 at 5:49 pm
OMG! WTF! FVJEDOGENJ! I CAN'T ACCESS APP WORLD AGAIN! IT'S ALWAYS DOWN!
I'M LEAVING RIM AND GOING TO DROID AND/OR IPHONE! they are so much better! they never have any issues, never have any downtime and have all the new tech and and and!!!
ROFL! ;)

I was thinking the same until finding out about their security problems. If my BB is lost or stolen, no-one can respond maliciously to my customer support email, or access my business plans, etc. Android or iPhone? They could get past the lock screen easily.
skyboxer Feb 3, 2011 at 5:51 pm
But drop the "in the meantime". Just use the CB app store. Its a class act. I regret ever making a purchase from Appworld. Luckily I've copied all the keys I need and apps are backed up via the 3rd party app backup procedure.
onbberry Feb 3, 2011 at 5:51 pm
When it came back on today for a brief time ive noticed that in "My World" i only have one list now with my "installed" apps. And im not sure, may be its just me, but everything is much faster now. More fluid i should say.
bluegreen1965 Feb 3, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Always glad to get news that something is down and that it isn't my phone!
jvthoo Feb 3, 2011 at 5:56 pm
smh ! lol i dont really care if its down as long as BBM aint ! <3
its always nice to have a second phone around =] ( DROID )
barbwyr Feb 3, 2011 at 5:57 pm
It's up again :-) Figures now that I JUST found this to confirm I am not crazy that I get it to load and finally upgrade 2 apps...lol. I should have check here earlier.
onbberry Feb 3, 2011 at 5:58 pm
Its working now :)
bigwillie Feb 3, 2011 at 6:11 pm
yeah, looks like it just started working. I've been trying to download the new BBM upgrade all day
JohnMidnight Feb 3, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Works again, I thought it was just me O.o and I was trying to upgrade BB App World haha
socjoc140 Feb 3, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Was finally able to update today during lunch. Reset the phone and it got stuckin in a loop. Would only load till the E in berry then would reset, had to get a new torch! thanks BB app world
Got2bBold13 Feb 3, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Glad to see I wasn't the only one.
LrdAnkh Feb 3, 2011 at 6:37 pm
I just want them to get rid if the password or find a way to make it remember you.
damage76 Feb 3, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Quick and ez fix () go to log out and log back in and it works fine. I start with this issue this morning.
cubez Feb 3, 2011 at 7:08 pm
I had the same issue this morning, waited a couple of hours and then tried again and it work. Now it shows an upgrade for app world, don't know if that had anything to do with it.
phenyx923 Feb 3, 2011 at 7:13 pm
Way to plug the app store when obviously people were going to App World for the update, not to get apps lol
bry1377 Feb 3, 2011 at 7:52 pm
SoB...I thought i was going CrAzY!! (smh)
phone9 Feb 3, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Sales and downloads today are much less than usual, and customers have been saying they can't install the apps they purchased.
aloofkid Feb 3, 2011 at 9:54 pm
Here in the Philippines the error says the Blackberry server is down... well something like that =p
jcp007 Feb 3, 2011 at 10:01 pm
BAW is fine for me. I have had this issue when the version was updated. All I needed to do was update to the newer version.
mendelman79 Feb 3, 2011 at 10:50 pm
I've been trying for a full week to upgrade some of my apps without success, i keep getting that same error message also.
Oilersboy Feb 3, 2011 at 11:32 pm
when I first download this newer version of app world, I got no problem log in at all.
yyjimmy Feb 4, 2011 at 1:11 am

Its unfair!!!
tomzbieg Feb 4, 2011 at 3:14 am

Luke_NL Feb 4, 2011 at 4:01 am
Still can't complete registration of a new ID with App World! "We cannot connect you to.." (Amsterdam, NL)
MrLynd54 Feb 4, 2011 at 4:17 am
I updated my App World and shortly after noticed a connection problem. My girlfriend did not update her App World and we are not having stedy internet connections. We are having problems using BBM. I did go into "Manage Connection" then "Services Status" which showed I had no internet connection at all, I did a battery pull and the status changed. But it is still hit and miss with BBM.
VVoltz Feb 4, 2011 at 7:33 am
I still can't connect from MD, USA.
eazymoneygmc Feb 4, 2011 at 8:09 am
i was trying to update the blackberry app world program on 9650 (6.0.415) and i keep getting the "907 invalid cod http error 504 gateway timeout" message
fine1b01 Feb 4, 2011 at 8:12 am
I'm based in nigeria at the moment and for long the blackberry app world wasn't working til of recently it became available for one to use it. Anyway the problem is whenever I try to download the new version it keeps telling me "Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry App World" I'm using bb bold 9780 non-branded. Thx
Devrell Feb 4, 2011 at 9:35 am

alexkinsella Feb 4, 2011 at 12:59 pm
Some customers may be experiencing issues logging into App World. We are actively working on a resolution and apologize for the inconvenience.
combroker Feb 4, 2011 at 1:16 pm
I updated to the 6.0 operating system, and have gotten that message with a several different applications - not just BB App World. Is it the BB App World, or 6.0? Or both?
zoom--zoom Feb 4, 2011 at 1:36 pm
LOL now i have to have WI-FI connection in order to aces the App World oh what a waste of UPDATE
Luke_NL Feb 4, 2011 at 1:46 pm
"Some customers" .... sure. In this thread alone the problem is current on at least three different continents. In my case, for 72hrs and counting, and other reports are worse. The lack of information, explanation or even a general apology on the blackberry support forum, app world website -or pretty much anywhere else- makes me feel undervalued as a customer. Buying a premium phone and paying a sweet monthly sum for blackberry-"service" doesn't account for much I suppose. Sub-par.
doc-hill Feb 4, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Notifications for updates but not downloadeble, app's not avaleble for dowload via app store? TWF.... I bought the app's on the app store, where els can I get updates than?
This one is from the Netherlands...
jamesd98ca Feb 4, 2011 at 10:58 pm
Back up as of around 4:30pm EST.
VVoltz Feb 6, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Still not able to log in. It has been 4 days. Funny, I am coming bac to Blackberry in T-Mobile USA after selling my Droid 2 and this happens.... I cannot get some apps that I really need to use, such as eBay and PayPal...
wwwdotanthony Feb 7, 2011 at 10:57 am
As of 10:55am est today, I still cannot log in. :(
syntheticlogic Feb 7, 2011 at 12:25 pm
I was having the same problem. Following the workaround steps here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB24200 worked. Once I completed the steps online AppWorld is now working on my 9000.
gavinl1967 Feb 10, 2011 at 5:03 pm
App World is driving me to distraction. I created a user name and password, waited 2 hours for the authentication email to arrive. I then try to log on and am told "user name and/or password is incorrect". I KNOW the username is correct, so maybe I screwed up my password. I then click on the "forgotten password" link and enter my email address - the same email address my authentication email came to, I get the message "email address not valid" WTF!! Round and round we go in this merry dance unti I gave up. It'll be CB downloads for me from now on, the AppWorld icon on my Torch is being removed!!
LQM Feb 14, 2011 at 8:55 am
BB AppWorld tells me I have a 2.1.0.39 upgrade but it won't download. It will either tell me the upgrade doesn't exist, or it doesn't know who I am.
I'm on a Tour v5.0. Is this a software version problem?
LQM Feb 14, 2011 at 9:01 am
Just tried again. It knew who I am, but tells me once again "Blackberry App World is not available from Blackberry App World."
Maybe I should go to the Deli to get it? In the mail? Coming from Congress? Where else can I get it?
