What Causes "Coverage Unavailable or Disabled" message?

I'm on the 8th day of my 30 day free trial and as yet have not gotten PodTrapper to work.

Since the moment I installed it, I have been getting the message at the bottom of the main screen that says, "Coverage Unavailable (or Disabled.)"

Since the phone and web browser both work on my Sprint network Blackberry Curve 8330m, I assume that I actually DO have coverage.

When I connect by USB to the home computer, I used to receive messages that downloads wouldn't work in Mass Storage mode, but I have now disabled everything having to do with Mass Storage. After disabling, I don't receive the messages anymore, but no downloading occurs.

I read the User Manual and followed the instructions for enabling cellular downloads (although, in my case, it was already enabled.)

My SD card has 14.8 GB of total space with 2.5 GB unused.

So... On a Sprint network Blackberry 8330m, what would cause the "Coverage unavailable... " message and what can I do about it.

Hi Jamie,

There's a bug in 2.6.7 that will make that message show up when you haven't subscribed to any podcasts, but other than that it should only show up when a method is disabled. Can you send me a copy of your logs via the 'Email Developer' menu item?

Marcus,

What an easy fix! I subscribed to the Car Talk podcast and the problem appears to have disappeared.

Thanks,

Jamie

Hi Marcus,

Can I get that fix also. I am having exactly the same problem. I have a Blackberry Tour with O/S 5.0.0.419 running Podtrapper 3.05.

Many Many thanks!

It should be 'fixed' as soon as you subscribe to a podcast, is it not?

I just started getting this error after having used Podtrapper trial ver for a week or two. My podcast I'm trying to download is stuck in "waiting to download" and the bottom says "Coverage unavailable (or disabled)". I have enabled downloading via the wireless network and turning wifi off hasn't helped either. I'm also subscribed to 3 podcasts, including the one I'm trying to get the episode from. Any ideas?
