Details
96x0 and 96x1 type phones running on current latest GA software
Problem Clarification
World Clock and/or Weather Application not working, the weather server responds with a “‘Command’ requires a valid API key” error.
If a sniffer/ethereal trace be collected and analyzed, it can be found in it that the phone sends a get command to the server. In the response message to that get command, the weather server responds with a “‘Command’ requires a valid API key” error.
At another cutomer using 9641G with SP6.4, they were getting the error “Could not access internet service”.
Cause
As a FYI, we actually document in the 96x1 documentation that this service is not guaranteed. Refer to the attachment of this KB.
It is not a phone issue. It is a problem with the API key and can be reproduced even from a PC if trying to use this API key.
Solution
Avaya R&D contacted the WeatherChannel team and the service was restored by the WeatherChannel.com team. The issue was re-tested and confirmed as service restored at a client.
As a FYI, we actually document in the 96x1 documentation that this service is not guaranteed. Refer to the attachment of this KB.
Should you/your client be currently facing such issue, you may
1) reboot phone and re-test
2) report into Avaya Services by providing with the following:
a) picture of error message seen on the phone's display

No changes were made on Avaya Side. World app made the changes and as the 96x1 documentation that this service is not guaranteed please follow the below KB soln to remove it from phone display if it no longer works.
