Having troubling installing BlackBerry App World 3.1? You might need to delete your BlackBerry Identity

BlackBerry App World 

App World 3.1 has hit the BlackBerry Beta Zone, but a number of users in the comments to our article and to the Beta Zone forums have reported some difficulty with the new application. Specifically, users are reporting that they get a message saying their BlackBerry Identity needs to be updated. Even after updating, resets, and battery pulls, the same error message appears. The problem seems to only affect phones from previous generations; i.e., OS6 and older.

RIM is aware of the problem and is said to be working on the solution now. A new version of App World 3.1 should be available in the Beta Zone within the next few hours, proving once again the awesomeness of the BlackBerry Beta Zone. If you can’t wait that long, we may have a workaround for your. Deleting your BlackBerry Identity should get App World 3.1 (beta) working again. Don’t worry, App World will prompt you to reinstall Identity later.

To delete BlackBerry Identity, open Options, select Device, and then Applications Management. From there, find and highlight “BlackBerry Identity” Open the menu and select “Delete.” Confirm the delete and restart your BlackBerry. When you next open App World, you should be prompted to reinstall the necessary application.

You obviously don't understand the meaning of BETA... so yes, an iPhone will be a better device for you. No sharp edges to hurt yourself in that little padded room.

dasDestruktion

Hell after both builds and multiple deletes and reinstallations I still don't even have a damn icon for AppWorld. I've sent them logs and everything. *sigh*

bigsam69

I have an BB 9500 Storm OS V5.0 and have the same issue after installing app world 3.1.0.58, it goes to 100% on the Identity check but hangs, help please

Here is the solution: Turn off your radio and turn on wi-fi only. Once connected to wi-fi, open app world and then do the identity update. Once complete, reboot and all will be normal.

jayjay0852

Ok I have a 8520 curve and it doesn't have a raDio so what can I do??plees man help me!!

minimuis

Hey jayjay

At your main menu go to "manage connections", turn off your mobile network (radio). Only select Wi-Fi. If this is the first time you use Wi-Fi you need to set up a Wi-Fi network aswell. I've just done it and my app world is working perfectly now.

For the peeps that doesnt have Wi-Fi at home or work, i know that SOME of the McDonalds shops has Wi-Fi and the first hour is free. otherwise go check on the internet where you can find a Wi-Fi spot. some Wimpy shop and Mug and Beans has Wi-Fi.

IBnasty82

what if your Tour 9630 has no wi-fi capabilities and no Device selection in the Options menu?? Any clue what do do in that case? can't turn off the radio in "manage connections" because then you can't access App World!
