Permission Nagging on 8310 w/ 0.5.1

[Unicks]

I am saving tracks to the device's memory, specifically "store/home/user." All application permissions relating to local storage are set to "Allow," however I continue to get the following message: "The application bbTracker has attempted to open local content would you like to allow this?" The message appears when starting the application, saving tracks, viewing tracks. Basically any operation that reads or writes to memory.

I've heard that enabling the Firewall on the BlackBerry? (Options -> Security -> Firewall) fixes this problem.

Could you try that?

Which BlackBerry OS version are you using? I've heard that there are problems with the current 4.5 builds.

I can confirm that on the 8310 with os v4.2.2.170 the permissions nagging bug did appear and turning on the firewall did fix the problem.

I have an 8310 running OS 4.5 and the firewall is enabled but these nag screens still appear.

Unfortunately I still can't reproduce the problem. I'm running 4.5 now and only get a single question when starting.

I have a theory that might reduce the amount of nagging from insane amounts to merely ridiculous amounts. But even if it worked, there would still be to many, so I'd much rather find the real reason and a correct solution for this.

I've got the same problem on my 8310 running OS 4.5. I get asked for every track file in my track directory when I list the tracks from within bbtracker. My firewall is already enabled and locked via BES policy. I've done some googling but can't crack the code.

Any suggestions?

I confirm the same problem 8310 internal gps OS 4.2.2.181 BBtracker 0.5.3.1

i turned on the firewall but it didnt work as nagging is still there and when i tried to look at one of the saved tracks it crashed with "Uncaught exception:javax.microedition.io.Connector.file"

Not sure if this was a co-incidence but no crashes previously (a week and perhaps 5 tracks recorded)

sauer does your 8310 have internal gps (i think US models don't)??? is this only happening on internal gps models???

update to my comment above which was completely wrong - i had not enabled firewall correctly above.

so after enabling firewall correctly here is the story..... since this is a long standing bug and sauer has trouble to reproduce i give you blow by blow

1) start bbtracker 2) new screen....

The application bbTracker has requested a file connection to /SDCard/BlackBerry/videos/debug.txt

Don't ask again for [] all file connections [] file connections to /SDCard/BlackBerry/videos/debug.txt

[Allow this connection] [Deny this connection]

2) i chose don't ask again for all file connections

Nagging has now gone away - yay!

Replying to Unicks: I added a ticket about this before I saw this one so I have resolved/duplicate the one I added and moved the content here. Basically now it's a "me too" but with a 9000 Bold.

Every time bbTracker goes to the flash to, say, load or save a track, I get a dialog with this message:

"The application bbTracker has attempted to open local content. Would you like to allow this? Yes/No?"

Seems like a simple security permissions problem, right? So I went to the application permissions and set all "User Data" categories to "Allow". No help. The only permission currently set to "Prompt" is "Connections/Phone?". No doubt this is in some way connected with the fact that this BBerry is Enterprise enabled and thus has all content encrypted. It's not preventing anything from working, though. I see the advice about the BBerry Firewall but it was already enabled.

This is not a serious problem but it certainly impedes using bbTracker, especially when exporting tracks - I have to pop that dialog 6 times per track exported.

BBerry = 9000 "Bold" Enterprise enabled with "medium" security level. OS = v4.6.0.125 (Platform 4.0.0.134) bbTracker = 0.5.3.1
