Thread: Tour friendly apps

The only way I could get it to quit was to totally exit out of the program and enable it when I needed weather info, then shut it back down. Total PITA. Great app, worked awesome on my Curve, really screws with my Tour.

Any suggestions?

What OS version are you running?

I've had the same problems, Sprint OS 4.7.1.57, but the freeze is only abut 15 seconds. If you check the forums at Bellshare.com, I think when all the OS 5's come out there will be new versions without the lag. At least I hope so - I've occasionally fixed it the same way by closing the program.

Is there an ota for battery booster?

I switched to BeWeather because Weathbug kept messing up, I'm very pleased with BeWeather.
