652465 In the Accounts, Contacts, Activities, Leads, and Opportunites list views, when the device user enters a string for local Find input field, the input value also populates the New <object> field.

652462 Subscription resume failed due to an SAP HTTP communication failed error.
  • Issue #1: Mobile Sales application does not display Subscription Failed message yet the database downloads successfully. One way to verify this issue is to have the device user select Analytics > Top Opportunity report. Getting Date displays indefinitely.
  • Issue #2: Subscribe status displays Awaiting Server Notification indefinitely on the device, and the server cannot complete the subscription.
  • Issue #3: Subscribe status displays Awaiting Server Notification indefinitely on the device due to a packet drop during subscription. The subscription is in suspended failed state (as indicated in the jmsBridge log) but Mobile Sales does not display an error message on the device indicating that the subscription has failed.
Workaround:
  • Issue #1: First, have device users unsubscribe, then resubscribe. If that does not work, have device users unsubscribe, delete and reinstall Mobile Sales, then resubscribe.
  • Issues #2 and 3: Clean up the subscription in Sybase Control Center. Tell device user to:
    1. Exit the Mobile Sales application.
    2. Turn on mass storage support on the device.
    3. Connect smartphone to a desktop computer, and remove all the files under /Media Card/BlackBerry/documents/.
