omosuji: When I bought my playbook about two weeks ago,a guy asked for 15k for the upgrade to be done for me. What I did was to buy etisalat night plan for four k. I now use the wifi of my curve4 to connect the playbook to the Internet. The whole setup was a breeze. It took about thirty minutes for the update to be downloaded. The rest was just to follow the prompt.
My playbook has been up and running since then. I have also been able to sideload a few android apps following the instructions on this post. However I have not been able to get a torrent app that works. I have tried playtorrent and atorrent non of which work. Any advice in this regard will be appreciated. Thank to TCD.
No torrent client works via BlackBerry bridge for obvious reasons. You have to use wifi with them.

Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by Racheed(m): 3:22pm On Jun 11, 2012
Thanks TCD.. It doesnt even give me the download file menu so cant rename the file. It comes as "Request entity too large" on a blank page. I use MTN! Do you know of any native playbook browser aside the sideloaded android ones?? And I cant even download songs without using save link as.

one more question, are you on OS2.0.1? Looks like you're on an older version of the OS that has bridge browser, if so, use the normal PB browser not the bridge browser, also are you on BIS or BES?.
Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by Racheed(m): 3:37pm On Jun 11, 2012
Im on OS 2.0.1.358 i have just the normal playbook browser i think.

ok, your situation is really strange. Does your blackberry phone give the same requent entity too large error when u try to download? Have you tried bridging with another BB and see if u get the same result or change Sims with someone. In the meantime, when I get home, I'll give you links to two Native playbook browser apps I use. Not tried them for downloading though.
Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by Racheed(m): 4:29pm On Jun 11, 2012
My phone used to give the same error too before ucweb for blackberry. Thanks sha.. I'll try it with another network too.

No wonder your case is so rare, people hardly use OS5 anymore. That request entity too large ish was common with os 5, but from os6, blackberry removed that limit. I'm afraid even with other browsers you'll still have the same problem, the best bet is to change to an os6 or 7 BB.

Two years ago, when I was still on os5, there was a way I used to bypass the limit by modifying ipd files and replacing them with one from China, turns out it wasn't safe, those Chinese could be stealing secure information from your phone eg bank passwords etc

What is not working?, etisalat mobile internet or the wifi setup.

ok, i want to get the mobile hotspot on my torch running OS 7.1 to work with etisalat.

It works with airtel,infact, that was what i used in setting up my playbook.

I have been trying it with etisalat for a while now, but havent had a head way.it connects but wont browse.

In your post, u stated that you set up ur playbook with your curve4 on os 7.1 using etisalat and you still use the hotspot.

All i'm asking is how you got the mobile hotspot on ur curve4 to work with ETISALAT (the APN and settings you used)
Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by omosuji(m): 1:54pm On Jun 12, 2012
I did not use any special setting. The etisalat line is what I use for bis. For me to use it for the wifi hotspot I had to subscribe to another internet plan in addition to the bis plan I am already on. That was why I bought the 4g night plan. Yours should also work if you subscribe to any of the etisalat internet plan. The settings is sill the same old setting. Is your line a new one or have you been browsing on that line before?. If it is a new line you may have to call the customer care line to help you provision it for data.
Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by omosuji(m): 2:03pm On Jun 12, 2012
I also think your etisalat line will automatically be activated for data once you subscribe to a plan. Hope this help. Part of 4g I bought is still remaining. This is what I have been using to access appworld with the pb. So subscribe to a data plan and try again. It will work.

oh! I think i get you now. I have to buy anoda plan aside my BiS to get it to work! Thanx for your time bro.i appreciate.thank you.
Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by omosuji(m): 9:07pm On Jun 12, 2012
Yes o. You do need another plan in addition to the BIS. Your BlackBerry bridge however works with or through BIS.
