Over-the-Air Installation

 

Before you Begin Over-the-Air Installation

•      Review the NotifySync Requirements section thoroughly.

•      If you plan to use a BIS Email Account (gmail, aol, yahoo, etc.) on the device along with your NotifySync account, set up your BIS Email account first.  Wait for the service books to be sent down to the device, then delete the CICAL service book from the device before you install NotifySync.  See knowledge base article for more details.

•      Disable the Encryption (≥OS v5.0) or Content Protection (<OS v5.0) option on your BlackBerry as it will prevent NotifySync from accessing the Contact, Calendar, and Task information stored on the device.  Access these settings from the BlackBerry Home screen.

o  For OS versions ≥5.0 - Select Options > Security > Encryption and disable the Encrypt option for Device Memory.

o  For OS versions <5.0 - Select Options > Security Options > General Settings and disable Content Protection.

•      Set the device to the language of your choice prior to installing NotifySync (Options > Language).  Doing so will ensure a more complete language conversion. Of the NotifySync application.

•      Backup your device.  If your device contains information such as Contacts, Calendar events, Tasks, Memos, or messages that you do not wish to lose, backup your device before you begin the installation process.  Wired devices may use the Backup and Restore application in the Desktop Manager.

•      Security Prompts.  After the installation is completed and you have rebooted your device, you will see several security prompts which ask you to give the NotifySync application permission to run.
For any NotifySync related security prompt: Check the box titled, Do not ask again and select the Allow button.

 

Considerations for Over-the-Air Installation  

•      Check your device for the “IPPP for BIBS” service book for the Internet Browser (a protocol for BlackBerry Internet Browsing Service).  Presence of this service book indicates that the carrier supports BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS), which is required for over-the-air downloads.
Check for this service book by selecting Options > Advanced Options > Service Books.

•      Time Requirements. The application download may take several minutes to complete.  Download time may vary depending upon: carrier, network type, network coverage, device type or the number of optional applications that you install. 

•      Wireless Coverage.  Stay in an area with good data coverage while you are downloading the application.  This helps to prevent network errors, which would require you to restart the download.

OTA Installation Troubleshooting

 

Problem	Cause and Solution
“Error 903: Loss of service”	The connection between the device and server was interrupted during the download.  Ensure that the device is in a good data coverage area and download the application again.
“Error 907: Invalid Jar”	One of the modules downloaded is invalid.  This is usually caused by a network error during the download process.  Ensure that the device is in a good data coverage area and download the application again.
“Insufficient space for application”	There is not enough free memory to download and install the applications that were selected.  Free up some memory by deleting unneeded email, calendar/contact/task items, or applications.
When I go to the download page I get an error stating: “You must use the Internet Browser on your BlackBerry device to download this application.”	The BlackBerry Internet Browser on your BlackBerry device is the only browser that can download the application.  If a different browser is used to access the download page, this message is displayed along with the “User Agent” header that your browser sent to the page.
NotifySync application does not open when I click on the NotifySync icon.	You did not reset the device after installation completed.  Reboot the device.
