Hey guys maybe someone can help me out. I've been getting my e-mail to my pearl just fine however I'm not hearing any notification at all! I just look down and see I have a new e-mail. I'm hearing sound for texts, etc. but not for e-mail. I double checked and I have every option in my profile set to some type of sound so I ruled out that being the reason. Thoughts????

[logan]

What about your options in BB Alerts, by default email will not notify but SMS will.

[SabreNemesis]

I would like to know from anyone on this thread who owns a BB 7130e if the "... Alerts" program has been successful for them. I initially downloaded and installed the trial version; however, the colored LEDs on Silent mode do not work for me. Am I missing something?

BlackBerry Alerts makes the Pearl do what it should have done all along. It reminds on missed activity.

A lot of people are asking what difference is between this and Message Alerts. Both are good programs.

Blackberry Alerts is a simpler approach. It doesn't filter and create individual reactions for every type of message. It reminds you of basic events that occur on your phone should you happen to miss the initial ring/vibrate. It is neatly incorporated into your profiles - you set the "missed event" response. For example, when my phone is set to vibrate, it vibrates reminders. When I am set to "Phone only", it only uses an LED reminder.

Blackberry Alerts is also half the price.

They are two different programs. If you don't need filtering, Blackberry Alerts will definately do the trick!

I love it. It's not complicated, it's customizable, and it works!! This is the best update to my Pearl since I bought it!

(nope, I am not profitting from the sales)

I just purchased the program myself, very important update for me also, GREAT WORK AND KUDOS to the author for this.

P.S. Do we get any free future release upgrades if we already purchased it?

Thanks!

I have the 7130e and I have been unable to get the colored LED's working for me at all. Not sure why.

Logan, anything that can be done to fix this problem on the current 7130e's

[ibrg]

Logan: Any new updates? Where can I check on updates regularly?

[nigletsyz]

just downloaded the ota version.. 1.3. I am running blackberry os .67. This program isn't workign for me properly. The LED only flashes for about 20 secs after receiving an email or whatever. Also, if i touch the trackwheel prior to that, it clears the LED as well. Pretty much makes this useless. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

[nigletsyz]

ok, I noticed that the flashing LED stops if the trackball is rolled if I receive a notification before the screen goes to sleep. If the screen is asleep and a button is pressed to wake it up, the LED stops at that time too. Is there a way to have the LED keep flashing until I go into my messages log and mark it "unread"?

Thanks

[ski837547]

I downloaded the new ota Blackberry Alerts 1.3 version and installed it. I rebooted the phone after the install, and the phone asked if I would allow Blackberry Alerts to access my phone logs. I answered yes. I then tried to access Blackberry Alerts options, but when I clicked on the Icon, it says "BlackBerry Alerts Version 1.3 is starting up...please allow 2-4 seconds". I allowed several Minutes, but it never came up. This install was an upgrade from 1.2, which was running successfully. I have a Pearl, software version 4.2.0.64. Please help.

I am running 4.1.0.268. Can you tell me how I can upgrade to 4.1.0359?

[logan]

1.3 is a work in progress, some of the features don't seem to work (deleting individual logs).

Yes the led will stop flashing after any user activity, this is by design.

I'll post here when any stable versions come out, they'll be on handango and rimroad.com.

I don't really think I can fix the 7130 colored led issue, I can set the program to just flash the default led though.

logan:

Thanks for your work with this wonderful program. The beginning of this thread has a link to the OTA download of your program. New people reading this thread might download from it before reading your last comment. Or even people that previously downloaded this program might download from that link to get a new release. I suggest using a different name/link for your 'work in progress' releases, and leaving the original name/link pointing to the 'working' release.

[nexteli836man]

i bought the program only problem i have is with bblight when i have the setting to user activity (bblight) and running BB alerts my light stays on my bb if i turn off the option its turns off norm anyone else have this issue withthe 7100i ?*

[logan]

Sorry i'm a bit lost here, BBlight I thought was meant for older devices. If you are using a 7100i then as soon as you touch anything the screen will light up already. So the screen is not turning back off or something?

edit: OK yeah noticing a lot of OTA activity yesterday, i'll put 1.2 back in there. Everything works ok in 1.3 except for the new stuff so no need to worry if you have 1.3. For those that have 1.3 the major change is an option under assign colors, you can set the led mode to cycle but have to exit and reopen the program to load the change.

[GregH-BBPearl]

Well I have the new Pearl and Blackberry Alerts seems to be working really good so far. I love using the other colors as well as knowing what it is with out a sound while at work. I will most likely buy it this weekend.

Nice program, thanks!

As I previously posted the led colors are not working on my 7130e. What does user assigned colors do. Should I try that. How does it work?

As stated earlier, BlackBerry Alerts 1.3 would not work with my Pearl that has the .64 software. It works successfully with your Alerts 1.2 version.

[nigletsyz]

I am running .67 os and version 1.3 and everything seems to be working ok. Only gripe is that although I have the option in the program checked for "have program control LED", I still have to go into the profile options and set "Repeat notification" to "none" on all of the original profile alerts. I wish this program would just override any of the previous option already set in the OS. No biggie though


However, a BIG suggestion: ESPECIALLy for us Pearl users or others who have no holster!!!


I wish that the LEDs would keep blinking until you navigate to the "messages" folder instead of just clicking a button. Buttons can accidentally get pressed when the phone is in a pocket or purse or backpack. Its similar to the whole issue with the TMO original OS where people were complaining "My phone stopped ringing when in my pocket!". The whole point of the program is to notify you of missed events, so unless the phone is sitting on a desk all the time, which it does not, the program can be ineffective a potentially large portion of the time.
Another example: If you are using the phone, say you are looking up a phone number or doing something on the browser, and an important email comes in... the LED will come on notifying you, but once you move the trackwheel or press another button to resume doing what you were doing, the LED will turn off. You may forget that there is an email waiting for you by the time you're done finshing up browsing or whatever.

I'm not sure if anyone agrees with me here. I'm not trying to bag on the program either, just making a suggestion that I feel would really make it really great. Maybe you could implement in an option to turn notification off after ANY user activity (like you have now) or only after user navigates to "messages" folder.
Keep up the great work.
