Mafia4life: Longtime TCD... Your Eye? I remember you.. One of the BB users who utilizes their BB's core function... Whats the file extention of the link? If it is compressed. Can't you use a system to extract it?

Hey Mafia my man, haven't seen you in a while. I'm fine enuf stuff just dey keep me unnecessarily busy. How u been?

That link is a Page on the Google Android market. You need an android phone to download it, install, then create a back up of the app or move the app to your phones memory card. It's from there you extract the apk" file. If you remember symbian nokia, the installation files for the apps end in ".sis" , android apps installation files are ".apk". So, I am more or less seeking the raw installation file for that app in the link above. I don't have an android phone, hence why I'm here seeking the help of you fine gentlemen on this thread.

Feel like stealing your playbook already.still waiting for mine.I discovered i could revive it with the method you specified after I had sent it to SLot.you can't belive that those people there that call demselves engineers said they had to send it to their suppliers outside nigeria because they don't fix playbook here.

Is it a 16gig that's housing all those lovely games? I dey jealous already.[/quote]Sorry man, I think you should worry them for your device. Three weeks is too long.

METHOD NUMBER 2

This One is very straight forward, has similarity with number one above.. in this one, you need a laptop with internet connection. doesnt matter what internet connection whether its modem, ad-hoc (using wireless hotspot from ur android, nokia etc). It just must be fast enough and reliable enough to download an over 500mb file else you will sleep there o.

now your laptop must have Blackberry Desktop manager installed. switch off your playbook, run desktop manager, Connect your Playbook via USB to the computer and then immediately Hold the power button down for like 10-20secs. The red LED light should flash and desktop manager will tell you, "Cant Connect to the playbook, bla bla bla, bla bla bla, it"ll then give you three options, "retry", "Update" or 'cancel". Click on Update and DM will automatically download and install the new OS update. And when it starts up, it wont take you through the damn set up procedure.

This Method is also useful if you find yourself with a Crashed, dead or Nuked Playbook. it'll help you repair and reload the OS.

Tasma: Had the 32gig playbook for a while now. Fairly good speeds with the bb bridge using my bold 4. Got quite a few apps as well from the app world and now some andriod apps are being ported over to the playbook. Not all android apps with work on the playbook for now but that is a continous process. Main issue is getting a good wifi connection to download apps and games. You can't download with the blackberry bridge app. Even setting up the playbook initially requires a good wifi connection and you may need to download a file of about 400 mb. If the connection fails along the line you may need to start it all over again.

I have a samsung galaxy s2 and for some strange reason the wifi hotspot on this does not work with the playbook. The bold 4 doesn't have the new os 7 that enables the wifi hotspot on a blackberry mobile so I can't use my bb.

All said its a great tablet and since I can browse with the bridge on my bb and thus avoid an extra 5-8k monthly bill for browsing I'm quite happy with it. Cheers.

The wifi hotspot on your galaxy s2 is an ad-hoc wireless connection, the bb wont recognise it. For apps or app world you can download the bar files online and sideload the apps yourself. or create a wireless hotspotand download directly from app world

p.s. My Nigerian experience with the pb, don't know about the issues overseas but I'm sure it should be easier to use there with all the available wifi hotspots.

Phones › Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by TCD: 10:21am On May 15, 2012

benzion72: Playbook is fantastic but you must get WIFI access ready you must update to new OS before use and the OS is 509MB or else you just be carrying the tablet araound. Just hope Blackberry Nigeria will open shop with WIFI access for updates. Mine is still with me I do not have WIFI access

my brother I feel your pain. I got my playbook yesterday and discovered my joikuspot from my nokia which creates wireless hotspot isn't supported as Blackberry blocked all Ad-hoc wireless connections for security reasons. However I got a way around it online and I'm currently downloading the 509MB update using my own created wifi... I'll post instrustions later in the day how u can get around the stuff. Carrying your playbook around without use no make sense at all.

Thanks Guys, really enlightening. I'll advice the dude to jailbreak his iphone. Question, If the Iphone is Jailbroken, can one download apps using the internet on another device eg blackberry then transfer the file to a pc and install on the Iphone?

alstacs: It is quite interesting to see people who actually like and have used the PB. I have read a lot of reviews but I was still not convinced I wouldn't be losing something by going for pb instead of Ipad and galaxy tab.
The noise of androids and Ipad has been so loud that I have been looking instead of leaping. I think I may be running for a pb now.
If anyone has used a galaxy tab or Ipad on thus thread, do you think you miss anything?

Thank you guys for keeping this thread alive, till I will be able to get my Pb.

It depends really on what you need a tablet for. If data isn't a concern of yours and you can shell out big money to get up to 7gb of data bundle then the galaxy tab/ipad is for you. For the PB the idea of using my same unlimited BIS subscription on my tablet sealed the deal for me. Since you'll be mainly exposed to EDGE, edge isn't really fast, and I don't think you'll enjoy the browsing on any kind of tablet be it PB, Ipad or galaxy. Anyway, I'm getting a playbook in the coming days, I'll check out the browsing on EDGE for you and give you feedback.

I have a Colleague who has an Iphone 4 unfortunately this dude does nothing with it than to facebook once in a blue moon. Its painful for me to see such a wonderful device wasting away, How does one download apps on Iphones? Can it be done on a laptop and transferred to the iphone coz getting Wifi would be difficult for him.

Technology Market › Re: 32GB Blackberry Playbook ** Pre-ordered By TCD Of Nairaland** BNIB **DELIVERED** by TCD: 5:14am On May 09, 2012

Thank you mr Fhemmy, realy appreciate your excellent service. this is the first time i'm ever doing a transaction with anyone over the internet decided to give it a go and surprisingly, I was pretty confident given your proven track record of honesty and transparency on NL right from the auto section, down to the tech market here. so i had no problems or doubt whatsoever paying 100% upfront. funny thing is we have never even spoken on phone, just emails, bank transfer and the deal is done.

I'll absolutely recommend Mr Fhemmy to anyone, If you're thinking of buying technologies , you'll do yourself well to consider him. His prices are very low and competitive (trust me, i checked around) plus he patiently explains and updates you regarding the status of your consignment which goes a long way to give you the buyer piece of mind.

Anyways, The crazy airport people conspired to dull me with their strike, I would have been chilling with my device days after my order but God pass them.

Once again, thank you Oga Fhemmy, we will definitely do more business in the future. Not forgetting your able partner in lagos too Mr Adeniran aka nyrol on nairaland. he was extremely helpful too. you guys make a great team. kudos

[quote author=dan_dollar]i'm not sure if you are talking about the browsing speed via bridge, but if you are, then I can assure you that you'll be blown away by the speed.I had the same concern,but was very much impressed.just unfortunate that mine packed up after 3days.sent it back to slot and was told that they were going to send it back to their supplier for repairs.its been like 3weeks now.i'm still waiting[/quote]oh my, sorry about that, what happened to the playbook? it just crashed? did you try to reload the software or wipe the device, it might have helped.

Hey guys with the playbook.. Any of you into gaming? Anybody Played the free Gameloft Modern Warfare 2 HD, Ashplalt 6 or Real football 2011 HD on your playbooks? What of Blood and Glory, Lara Croft Tomb raider. I can't wait to get Grand Theft Auto II on the playbook.

Phones › Re: Blackberry Playbook: Anyone? by TCD: 11:41am On May 06, 2012

@alstacs . I'm getting a playbook soon. I would assume There is no difference between the bridging experience and the others like galaxy tab et all. The only thing that should make any difference is the Network providers 3G or EDGE. this will also affect the galaxy tab..
