Third-party application control About permissions for third-party applications You can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry® device interact with the other applications on your device. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can access data or the Internet, make calls, or use Bluetooth® connections. If you have added third-party applications to your device, the device firewall is designed to prevent these applications from sending or receiving data without your knowledge. Before a third-party application sends or receives data, a dialog box prompts you to accept or deny the connection request. If you turn off the prompt, you can reset the firewall options to receive the connection prompt again. Reset connection permissions for third-party applications 1. In the device options, click Security Options. 2. Click Firewall. 3. Press the Menu key. 4. Click Reset Settings.

For example, a stock price application might need to connect to the Internet to retrieve the latest stock prices. You might have to set the APN that the third-party application uses for this connection.
