    The links you have posted here for downloading do not work. I really thought this would be a cool program, but right now it's a pain in the butt. I can't even use it..

    hey, is something up with the service?

    haven't seen new videos posted in 3 days, and I'm unable to stream myself -- says: "server not found, check your connection"....

      OK, I see new videos posted, it's my device/installation that must be malfunctioning. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Live 1.3 a few times, and same thing "Server not found, check your connection". I'm using a Curve 8300 with AT&T's 4.5.0.110.. should I upgrade (latest out there is .174)?.

    Anthony, the links for the Curve from getn2f.com are not working. I have a BB curve 8330m with Sprint. Next to friends captures black video, and I cant get the live broadcast to work. When you start broadcasting you can see the data flowing for the first 5 secs then it stops. OS and permissions verified. No response from support forums and no tech support. Please help..

    CDMA BETA AVAILABLE FOR VZW and SPRINT

      Definitely works in the sense that live broadcasts do indeed show up on the site, and downloadable videos follow shortly after completion; but it's never the full video.

      As an example, I did a quick test video that was 42 seconds long. Only 16 seconds, however, were uploaded to the site it seems.

      In addition, the "Completing" process stopped around 94% and froze; even though the video was already posted on my profile, and I had email in hand saying the video was ready.

      Curve on Verizon, if it helps.

      Very excited that it's working and live broadcasts are up!.

      It is critical that the streaming instructions be followed at this time in order to ensure full streams. Go to the download page, select your phone, then click the "important instructions" on the download page for the live product. Please send me a message if you further issues...

    What is Next2Friends? Hans Erik summed it up quite well in a recent article. Here is excerpt 3 of 3.

    “We began with the singular vision to blend the mobile and on-line worlds together to extend and enhance connections between people,” said CEO Roy Shelton. “And connecting with others relies on a shared experience, so we set out to enable the sharing of real-time moments, from little day to day things to major life events, through the piece of technology closest to us all; the mobile phone. Looked at another way, creating digital content is most often a social act. The purpose is ultimately to share with others and nothing facilitates this like a Social Community. Hence our not only bringing to market these groundbreaking tools, but our decision to fully integrate them into a social network.” .

    The Next2Friends Social Suite is a comprehensive bundle of mobile applications built upon 3 dynamic tools. Next2Friends Snap Up is true 2-click photo capture and upload to the internet. Photos are organized and saved to a member’s media library by date and simultaneously sent to them via email, again, eliminating the time consuming process of transferring files from a device to a computer. Next2Friends Ask allows members to ask, respond and receive answers to media rich questions from anywhere. And Next2Friends Tag uses Bluetooth proximity sensing to automatically suggest profile matches, allowing members to build a network of like-minded friends out of the people they pass every day. All this is brought together by the Next2Friends Dashboard where members receive feeds of their friends’ latest activities including photos, comments, responses and interactions. .

    Next2Friends Live turns a mobile phone into a live video broadcasting tool. Videos are streamed live to the internet where they can be watched in real time by others. They are also simultaneously saved to a member’s media library where they can be embedded into blogs or other websites. And by emailing members a link to easily download each video they have completely eliminated the cumbersome process of getting videos off of a device and onto a computer. To date, Next2Friends Live works on over three hundred devices by LG, Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericcson, and a world’s first, BlackBerry. .

    The VZW and Sprint version is just a few days away... Giving you an update.

    As well, there is a new release available for everyone not on VZW or Sprint.

    Issues resolved:

    Streams cutting short - LIVE
    0 key not accepted - SOCIAL

    Changes:

    After selecting broadcast, you do not need to hit the trackball to start streaming, it will have started automatically. You also do not need to hit the trackball to end your broadcast, just hit the back button...

    All current 4.5 versions are now supported. 4.5.0.52, 69 ad 81 over WIFI and GPRS/EDGE.

    Important note: Because the BlackBerry video system relies on a media card and is checking for active space so that the device can locally save the video upon stream complete. The length of your stream will be determined by how much space is available on your media card. By default, the BlackBerry devices will save all video locally. You can delete them manually from your media card to gain more space for streaming. The data is always streamed to Next2Friends and saved, but the device itself must know it has enough space to save any video as it is functioning...

    I am using 4.5.0.81 and it works perfect over WiFi and GPRS/EDGE.

    Also, if it helps, here is a listing of most all carriers worldwide, TCP/APN settings, http://www.pinstack.com/carrier_settings_apn_gateway.html

    One thing to note, with Blackberrys on T-Mobile, you must use the wap.voicestream.com APN and not the internet2 or internet3 ones...

      Also, I can't seem to get the video broadcast to work. My curve shows the video recorder, but my profile page says "mstrefford is not broadcasting" even when I think I am.

      You need to have your APN value populated. Who is your carrier and I will give you the value.

      This is also why LIVE isn't functioning. Unless you have WIFI, do you have WIFI on your Curve?.

      When it says no connection you should just be able to hit the trackball to ungrey the screen. Then select exit.

      Can you confirm the APN is setup?

      Options --> Advanced Options --> TCP? (From your BB)

    OK, viewed the instructions. It appears that for the VZW users, you have to use the BIS transport since we do not have wi-fi or edge for our Pearls and Curves. We are limited to either BIS or BES transport since our devices are not SIM-card or GSM/EDGE-based but CDMA devices.

    Hope this helps some since I'm not a programmer by any means but am used to diagnosing all things technical. .
