I'll probably add more things to the help page as I get more questions from users that aren't answered in it. If you have any suggestions for things that you think need to be added, please leave a comment. The help is already pretty long so I want to limit it to help on using BoostApps rather than general iDEN or mobile phone help.

BoostApps' "Send To Phone" feature, which uses the same API and backend service, is also working again.

It looks like there is a problem with the Sprint server that BoostApps uses to send games and apps to your phone. I can't download anything. All attempts to download are failing in Download Apps with the message "Failed Download with status code:100 (Assignment Complete)".

Sprint usually fixes these issues fairly quickly but for now downloading is impossible.

The site popularity has been growing rapidly and BoostApps is now serving about 10,000 pages to approximately 2000 unique visitors everyday.  The traffic was beginning to stretch the limits of the server it was hosted on.  The new server  has twice the capacity of the old one and  I'm hoping this will eliminate or at least reduce the frequency of HTTP 500 Internal Server Error messages or blank pages that some of you may have been seeing recently.

There may be some lingering issues with broken images, links or downloads as a result of the move. If you see any please report them by leaving a comment on this post.

If all goes well, daily posting of a new app or game  will resume tomorrow.

New "Requests" page.  The comments thread on the "Welcome" post  had become so large that it would no longer load in mobile browsers. Most of the comments were requests so I've added a page just for requesting new games or apps. Just click the Requests menu item at the top of page. I've had to delete all the comment's that are more than two weeks old from "Welcome" to get the page down to manageable size  but I copied all the outstanding requests to a file and will fill as many as possible

"Send to Phone" is now using official Sprint APIs.  When I launched BoostApps four months ago there was no documented way for third parties to send games and apps to iDEN phones so I wrote some code that stuffed the information into the iDEN Content Uploader's web form. It worked but had the potential of breaking if Sprint changed the Content Uploader site in any way. Sprint recently launched a "Developer Sandbox" which provides an official documented way to send Java apps and games  to Boost and Nextel phones.  I've re-written the code behind "Send to Phone" to use the new Sandbox API.  This should make the service more robust and it seems to be a little faster as well.

Google powered site search.  I've switched the site search at the top right of the desktop version of Boost Apps from using WordPress' build in search to Google.   This should make the search results more relevant, plus you can now use all the usual Google query language features like OR, the * wildcard,  exact search with +, exclusion with -  and searching for phrases by enclosing them in quotes.

Mobile site search. The mobile version of BoostApps now has a search box at the bottom of every page which is also powered by Google.

Hope you enjoy the changes.  Let me know in the comments if you find anything that's not working.  I don't plan any more changes in the immediate future so expect to see a steady flow of new games and apps to download to your phones in the coming days.

Update: As of about  5:45 PM PST today everything is working again
