Hi and Welcome to the Community!

Here is a KB that discusses that error:

• KB29422 BlackBerry App World icon is missing after upgrading to BlackBerry App World 4.0.0.63 to 4.0.0.65

Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.

Good luck and let us know!

Okay I use a blackberry bold 9780 os 6 bundle 863 version 6.0.0.285 and I clicked on the link above and here is what it said "on BlackBerry 6 OS versions prior to 6.0.0.706 and the App World Icon is not visible, please download and install the BlackBerry App World 4.0.0.55" well the only problem with this solution is that it isn't permanent because if I install this 4.0.0.55 version right now it would be the third time that I have done so, I upgrade my app world the icon disappears I come here re-install the former version and then after a day or two I receive an alert for an upgrade of my app world and I upgrade and it disappears again! Its tiring! Please can a more permanent solution to the issue be given because I have had this issue since the 4.0.0.63 version of app world came out, HELP!!!!

Hello,

You do know, I hope, one definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting a different result. Until AW moves beyond 4.0.0.63, you should stay behind on 4.0.0.55...the upgrade can be skipped, can it not? That is what you should be doing until AW receives it's next upgrade.

Good luck!

Hi, how nice of you to point that out but in my dictionary its called persistence and everytime I upgrade I do it in trust that RIM having received so much complaint about the same issue would have fixed the problem but sadly not plus you do know what happens when you start ignoring software updates anyways there is a new version of app world "4.0.0.65" and even after skipping the 4.0.0.63 upgrade unto this new one my app world icon is still missing, so what next?

[sdgardne]

Well, "persistence" in light of no other changes would result in nothing different...but that whole discussion is moot. Until they update beyond 4.0.0.65, you can expect it to act this way.

Yes...in this case, it is actually RECOMMENDED to ignore the update, until such time as they update beyond the non-functional (for you) version.

Fall back go the functional version, as documented in the KB.

[oluwaseunoyalade]

I hear you but if RIM did not fix the issue in the 4.0.0.63 version and now the 4.0.0.65 version then there is no guaranty that the newest version would be any better

[sdgardne]

Well, if you are looking for guarantees in relation to hardware and software designed and built by humans, I fear you search will be unsuccessful. They have admitted the problem exists in both .63 and .65, and have provided the workaround. All we can do is wait and see if the next version will fix it or not...we cannot predict that outcome, as we have no "insider information".

[oluwaseunoyalade]

Guarantees that it will be perfect? NO but guarantees that my complaints will be listened to and eventually fixed? YES, although they have admitted that the problems exist but the fact that it has not been fixed is disappointing, it would be acceptable if both upgrades had different issues but exactly thesame?
