could it be the minimum wait from signing up before accepting a burger job? I cant remember if the wait was 2 weeks or a month. Can you select work for other retailers?

Ok...I have had a look at my BB settings and this is what I can come up with

look in
Browser Configuration

Click on browser/internet.
Click on BB Menu.
Scroll to options and select.
Select Browser Configuration.
Scroll down and tick ALL checkboxes.
My show images is on WML &HTML
My Browser Identification is set to Internet Explorer
Don’t forget to click BB Menu and Save.

then look in
General Properties

Default Browser is Internet Explorer

Default View is Column rather than Page (personal preference but I do find the MS sites and this forum so much easier to read and navigate in column mode however aba-i is better on page view. To change it to page when you are viewing click BB Menu and select Page View)

Image Quality is set to Low as it makes loading faster.
Repeat Animations set to As Many as Image Specifies
Tick Enable JavaScript Location Support
Tick Switching to Wap Streaming media
Tick Running WML Scripts

You can save the site log in pages to your book marks but I haven’t found a way to save my passwords. There is an App you can purchase but I haven’t bothered yet....holding out for a freebie.

In order to enter info on line the ease varies with the company and quite frankly I prefer to sit comfy with a cuppa in front of a bigger screen and keyboard. I have however on occasions used the BB but each site is a little different and has its own quirks. One I can immediately think of is Retail Eyes : you must make sure you have downloaded notes and printed off questionaire otherwise it will not allow you to progress to stage 5 on the BB. I have mine on column view and you need to scroll down under all the red stage boxes to find the form but to be honest I find it really time consuming and bothersome.

I am no expert and I am really not sure what all the things mean or do but it makes everything work for me.

Don't forget if you do something and something goes haywire (mine didn't by the way) you can always go and find and select the Default Settings and it will return everything to how it was when you purchased it. Thought I would mention it just in case......I had better add a please don't sue me if it all goes wrong footnote...

I hope this helps.

I've had a look at my settings today and changed them all to the same as yours - apart from I couldn't find the show images bit so will have to have a look around for that.

Unfortunately I still have the same problems - I can look at jobs on Abai but can't view the details to accept them and can't open the assignment notes on RE even though I can open PDF attachments in an email - very odd!

I had a quick look on a couple of sites and it looks a bit in depth

Anyone got a BB Storm that has got round these probs please let me know!!

Thanks again Rosy for taking the time to look at your settings :beer:

I was chatting with someone at work yesterday and he has informed me that our BB Bolds have had something called BeamReader. You can apparently download it through the pnone Apps but it costs...don't know how much though but I doubt it's too expensive coz the company I work for are very tight with money!

Hiya,

I have just downloaded it for my phone and I can now view RE jobs!! Thanks for the info! :jI still have a problem with Aba-i though as I can't view the details of the jobs for some reason, I have no idea why when I can do the search for the jobs maybe someone can shed some light?

Info for others considering BeamReader: There is a free trial (10 day) and then the licence is $17.99 (approx £11) but I have emailed to ask how long it is for.

Hi Natalie,

Can you actually see the RE notes just on the screen or do you have to save them and then open them? I downloaded beemreader yest as recommended by vodafone but i still cant read them on the screen. have to save them and open with beamreader which is still a bit hit and miss! feel like banging my head against a wall! :mad:

I have to save them and then open them - seems to work though for me.

Can you get into Aba-i job details on yours?

For info: The license doesn't expire for BeamReader - you just have to remember to transfer it to anothe BB if you change it
