User Guide About browser push Browser push is designed to enable you to receive content on your BlackBerry® device from web applications without requesting it. For example, you can receive updates or notifications for weather, stock quotes, or news. You can turn on browser push for your WAP Browser, your BlackBerry Browser, or both browser types. You can also set which hosts provide this information to you. Set notification for different types of browser push information, including service load information (web pages or applications), service indication information (web page addresses or messages), or other types of information. When you receive a notification, an icon should appear in a messages list. If you set the browser push notification to Prompt, a dialog box appears when you receive a notification. If you set the browser push notification to Auto, a dialog box might also appear, if specified by the sender. If you set the browser push notification to Reject, you receive no additional notification. Turn on browser push 1. In the device options, click Advanced Options. 2. Click Browser Push. 3. Select one or more of the check boxes. 4. Set the options for browser push notification types. 5. Click the trackwheel. 6. Click Save. Note: If you turn on browser push notification for your WAP Browser, you can also select the Allow WAP Push Applications check box. Related topics About browser push (See page 54.) About the browser (See page 49.) Downloading - frequently asked questions Why can't I load new programs onto my device? Why did a new program appear on my device? What software version do I have on my device? Can I listen to a ring tone before I download it? Why can't I load new programs onto my device? Verify that your BlackBerry® device is connected to the wireless network. See the printed documentation that accompanied your device for more information about wireless coverage levels. Your device must also have sufficient available memory to load a program. If the program still does not load and your device is integrated with an account that uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server™, certain programs might not be available to you. Contact your system administrator for more information. Why did a new program appear on my device? If your BlackBerry® device is integrated with an account that uses BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ version 4.0 or later, your system administrator can send selected programs over the wireless network. Contact your system administrator for more information. 54
