3:29 a.m. right on cue
News/ Top Stories/getting ready to select the top article/ Denied....Klodike Bar popup ( native browser )
You know what, I know this isn't going to be fixed anytime soon so maybe you guys from pocket express could do us a favor when you do fix our app.
Could you add...say, the stocks....or travel?
The icons are there ( hidden ), and for those who know how, can pull them up and set them up to open with an app or a weblink shortcut, but you'd be doing a great favor to add this and make it function the way only you guys know how...
I've done so today, and it just makes the web menu look better...Like pocket express
should look like on our Instincts.
Not sure why everyone gave up and didn't finish the product
But for those of us who still have this phone, we'd appreciate it
if you didn't stop improving it's potential...
Thanks.

Is there anyone else out there who is still currently having this same issue as Goygan? (as of today 10/19)? Just trying to see if this is still happening on a lot of handsets, or if something needs to be reset on your specific handset for whatever reason. I know it is a real issue, because I had it myself on my handset for a short time.
I just got it at about 9:14 AM Central Time on 10/19/2009. I hit News. It then tried to do "Updating News" (or whatever it calls it). It stuck on that, so I hit Cancel. It then took me to the News menu and I hit Top Stories. I then got a Klondike Bar. (I did not actually click on one of the News stories.)
I just did News again and it worked perfectly. (No "Updating News", no sticking on "Updating News", no "Cancel", no Klondike Bar.) It went straight to the News stories list and I successfully picked one with no problems.
Very weird.
That was weird...9:52am cst
Pressed news, then it updated news, then it kicked me back to the web menu. ( like the old bug did )
Selected news again, updated news again, and it's working....
Seems okay now...think they fixed it?

Hope so, I have been unable to replicate it myself since Thursday. Good news, is they are aware of the reports, and they are reading these forums. Continue to post if it pops up again, giving as much detail as possible as to the steps you took.
I have been having this problem for several days. it makes the phone very difficult to use. i may never buy a klondike bar again, as i have seen enough of them in the last three or four days to last a lifetime. the issue occurs in PE when i try checking out the news. i have ver 1.2.26. the issue seems to come and go randomly for several minutes at a time. when the issue is active it is impossible to read any news as you are instantly redirected to a browser with the ad.
Klondike bars are dead to me now - thanks to PE and Sprint.
Come on now...Klondike bars are Goooooood!!, ![]()
I'm glad MDG made the report as I've contacted handmark over the weekend myself
still waiting on a response to any future additions for us owners...
Maybe showing them the screenshot above will encourage them to complete
an unfinshed, maybe forgotten project...I sure hope so![]()
Fellas and ladies,
I've tried to replicate this error. No Klondike bars for me. However, I did email Handmark about the stocks app. That would be cool if Handmark would add some functionality. I also sincerely hope they fix this glitch before we all have Samsung Klondike's instead of Samsung Instinct's.
Good luck and I'm rooting for a resolution.
Just reading this thread has killed any desire to have a Klondike bar. lmao! Sorry, I had to say it.
Peace.
since i originally reported the issue, i want to follow up indicating that the pop-up is no longer occurring for me in the past couple of days. thank you to MDG for reporting it to hallmark, and others supporting the report. to be honest, i don't have full confidence that it won't happen again just because i didn't see any direct comment from hallmark indicating a fix or upgrade of PE to make the issue go away permanently.
so, as for me, no more browser/pop-up from any of the PE links in the past couple of days. if it is happenning to your instinct, please speak up.
If P.E. fixes (or has fixed) this problem, I will give them a Klondike Bar and a big, wet, chocolatey/chocolaty kiss on the lips!
I haven't been able to get any of the pocket express apps to work for a few days now, tried to redownload several times now with no luck, just goes back to main screen after selecting app. Any suggestions? thanks
Handmark answered my question concerning the hidden stocks and travel icons....not promising in the least.
" They were packaged within a folder ( more than likely a copied folder from the source files of the other versions that do include the features ) but hidden from view as the functionality is not there nor do I have any information on whether or not it will ever be available " this is after speaking to the Q&A team.
Just non-functioning images...
On a positive note I have added functionality to both, in a sence.
Travel links to the mobile version of Travelosity
Stocks links to the mobile version of Fidelity.com
Something is better than nothing...Both open the native browser ( links if you will )
They're yours if you want them...i've included the webmenu.dat file for you.
If you know how to get to the webmenu.dat file just drag and drop a copy of your origional on your computer for safe keeping ( incase you want to revert back ) then just drag my file into place and copy and replace...wahlah, you have the added icons too...with function. Updates don't affect either one because they're not being used anyways.
This is only for the M800 model....anywho....enjoy
