2 Playbooks tethered to the same SmartPhone

Question:
Planning on getting a playbook for my wife and I but since we both have corp. phones that block tethering we are going to have to get a personal smartphone for tethering purpose. For the most part WiFi is fine for me but I on occation I may want to leverage a 3g connection through the phone. Is it an issue to have two playbooks bridged to the same phone or would we have to get two phones to accomodate.

Accoring to you tunnel need to be establish for different ports so i am assuming destination ip addresses will also be different ( means for ssh lets say 1.1.1.1 and https 2.2.2.2)
with refernce to above case create two interfaces and point a route for 1.1.1.1 toward first interface and for 2.2.2.2 toward second interface , now create two tunnel for same destination but different peer ip address of your end with the help of differnt crypto ACLs.

How do I separate 3 different devices all using the same apple ID

HELP PLEASE!! My wife has a macbook which is about 5 years old. We used our only email address at that time as our apple ID. Since then we have bought her an iphone 4 and registered it with the same apple ID. Then a few months later I made the jump from my blackberry to an iphone 4 and used the same apple id. All these devices are now tethered to the same apple id as well as our family itunes account. So, we have a family itunes account, an older macbook and 2 iphone 4's all with the same apple id. With me so far? Now, everything was cool until the iOS update came out for our 2 iphones and came with the new icloud app. When my wife and I set up our icloud accounts everything that was on her phone showed up on mine and everything that was on mine showed up on hers. How do I change the apple id's on her phone and computer, keep the apple id we already have on my phone and continue to share the itunes account? An important note here is that the apple id's are my email address. HELP!!!!

OK this might help you
you need both iphones and the mac next open itunes and click on itunes prefrences now you will need to go to devices and erase all iphone back ups
next plug the phone with your info to the mac and rename that iphone with your name and back it up, After the back up safely remove it
next plug the phone with your wifes info into the mac and follow the same steps.
after the back up is done restore your wifes iphone and when ask to restore as a new iphone you need to scroll down to her name and click on it then do the same with your phone
this will put all info into the corresponding phones

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC & and few Comments About the Playbook Tethering

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC can be a bit tricky.
On the Z10 do the following:
On the Z10 go to the Settings.
Go to Network Connections.
Go to Internet Tethering.
Select USB.
Turn on Tethering.
On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the Z10:
Once the software starts, connect the Z10 via the USB cable to the PC.
Open the browser.
You should now be able to cruise the net, and do emails.
With the Playbook, the Bluetooth tethering does not yet work. This may be an OS or communications issue.
The best way to tether the Playbook for full speed and functions is using the WiFi option. Simply turn on the WiFi hot spot option and follow the instructions. The Playbook WiFi must also be properly set up. The Z10 USB and Bluetooth tethering mode must be turned off when using the WiFi mode. You can leave the base Bluetooth active on the Z10. There is a lot of available information about using the WiFi hot spot from the Z10. The process is very similar to the past models of Blackberry phones.
If you use the Bridge mode to tether, the Playbook email client software does not work very well. The browser will work fairly well, but slower with the Bridge mode. With WiFi the Playbook can brows at very high speed. With Bluetooth it is restricted to about 1.5 to 2.5 mb/sec. Take care that the WiFi mode burns through battery time very fast on both the Playbook and the Z10. Using the Bridge mode uses less power consumption than WiFi.
To use the Bridge mode, make sure the Playbook and the Z10 are first Bluetooth mated. Also the Bridge mode has to be set up between the devices. You will have to first install the Bridge software in to the phone for this to work.
I did extensive testing between the Z10 and the Playbook. They function well together as far as Internet and email are concerned, in consideration of using either tether or Bridge, depending on what you want to do.
From what I understand the Bridge mode uses some compression. It will not be as fast as using WiFi or Bluetooth tethering. The data cost using the Bridge mode is probably a bit lower because of the compression.
As far as the Bridge phone options are concerned, these features are not yet available. From what I read in a number of articles there are going to soon be some updates coming out to fix this. The Bridge options are a big part of the tablet application with the Blackberry phone. This was the big original application point of this tablet, otherwise any generic tablet would do the job.

From the look of this thread it appears that no one outside of Canada uses an OS 10 BB yet. 247 views and no comments or help ? I'm sure I'm not the only BB user that uses Tether. If BB doesn't care to help then this will just be another nail in the corporate coffin that has been projected.
Maybe we need different forums for US users as the Canadians don't seem to have the same issues or cares.
The whole idea of the app Tether is not to have to pay the outrageous tethering fees that US carriers charge and it has worked well for years. But it can't work and won't work in the future without help from BB and the BB community.

How do you use your pictures for web, iPad & smartphones? All the same size??

i realy think back and froth about this question.
i guess it makes sense - to use all the same size - because newest Ipads and Iphones are with retina-screens !??
on the other hand i use background-pictures for the website with a lenght of 1800px (it's 400 kbit) so it may slow down my the mobile version
but i know , people always scroll and zoom into evrything with an Ipad and smartphone ... So what to do? What is your hint ?
Thank you for your time ;-))

For me anyways, I 'always' create my images to the size I need and then bring them into what ever web design tool I am using wether it is Muse, Dreamweaver, Coda or a number of others. It takes a few minutes longer but I always get the results I need and expect.

Is ThERE A WAY TO HOoK UP A BLUETOoTH MOUSE AND KEYBORD TO THE PLAYBOoK AT THE SAME TIME?

Is there a way to hook up both a blutooth mouse and keybord to the Playbook at the same time? If so how?

I have an E-Bay Cheap mouse (Speedlink) and a PCWorld cheap keyboard (Advent) both connected at the same time.
These both connected at the same time when first installed - but on subsequent connections one is required to be deleted and re-added.
Have you tried connecting one, deleting the other and then re-pairing?

Blackberry Playbook not charging -have two exactly the same and both not connecting to charger...help!!

Bought my two children a playbook each last Christmas. They were fine for the first six months but have had problem after problem with charging and battery life ever since. It has now come to the point that the playbooks haven't been used for the past few months and are sat on the computer desk, unused!! The chargers do not connect-they're plugged in, but the connection doesn't get through. I have also bough numerous other compatible chargers but have had the same problem with them so we now know it is the playbook rather than the charger.
Has anyone else had this problem? HELP!! We don't want to waste the money we spent on two Playbooks only a year ago-I don't think six months use is acceptable from a piece of technology such as this.

Hello mljackson680,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you're receiving the flashing green LED light, it sounds like the BlackBerry PlayBook battery is completely drained. I suggest plugged the BlackBerry PlayBook into the wall charger for several hours to get a charge again.
Let me know if the issue still persists after charging it after several hours.

Tethering and Voice at the same time

Is there a refence to show what models support using tethering and voice at the same time?

I have the same problem with 2 iPhone 4S. When I'm only using data, download speed on 3G is 5.57Mbps, Upload 1.07Mbps and ping 79ms. As soon as I make or receive a phone call those speeds drop to:
Download: 0.27Mbps
Upload: 0.1Mbps
Ping: 638ms
With these speeds the web browser and all the other apps just keep trying to load or log in but nothing happens. As soon as I hang up, the speed goes back to normal. the problem is non existen while on wi-fi.
AT&T triend to make some changes on the settings of my sim but itr didn't help at all. Just this morning I got a call from AT&T to let me know that the data speed is supposed top drop and that they don't make any promises as to the data speed, that their "talk & surf"propaganda only means that if you are using the internet, you can still receive phone calls....***? I never had this problem with the iPhones, 3G, 3Gs, 4. I asked them that I wanted to speak with somebody higher up or an enginner to discuss this issue but I'm still waiting to hear from them.
The guys at apple were a little confused with this problem (I did reset the network settings but problem persisted, then reset all settings...nothing, then hard reset, restored from back up, deleted everything and set it up as new iphone...the problem is still there...) they asked if I could take the phone to the Apple store so they can run some advanced diagnostics...I'll have to take a road trip (closest Apple store is about 100 miles from my hometown)...Going on 1/5/2012....We'll see....

I have ordered 2 Playbooks. Do I need to pay for 2 apps for the same one?

So will I need to pay for one app on one tablet and pay for the same app on the other tablet as the tablets are mine and my sons. sorry I'm new to this.
thanks in advance.

What are you talking about? It's a 3rd party App. Apple is not going to include ANY 3rd party app on an iPhone. If you don't think you should have to pay for it, talk to the developer. I'm sure they'd love to know that you don't think you should pay them for their work.

Hello kkawin45
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
You cannot use multiple BlackBerry ID on your BlackBerry 9900 at a same time ! On BlackBerry 7 devices BlackBerry ID is deep integrated with our device . If you want to use a new BlackBerry ID then perform a security wipe , while wiping be sure to Mark everything ( User Installed application , Emails ) but after a full backup .

Does Verizon ever provide a different model phone if the customer has basically had the same issues with 3 prior 'replacemet' (refurbished) phones?

I have owned a Samsung Galaxy Stellar for the about the past year and a half, which is only my second smartphone. I am not a whiz at all this but I'll try to be coherent. I had problems with the Stellar from the beginning: Very slow loading browser, problems with the cursor, etc. After about 6 months, the phone dropped, and no, I didn't throw it on the ground!
I have insurance and it was still under warranty, so it was replaced, by Assurian, I believe. The replacement phone had the same problems, plus a whole lot more. During calls, the wifi, and/or Bluetooth options would appear, or the phone would suddenly go on mute. In addition, when I tried to access my voicemail, what I heard was my own voice and outgoing message, not the one from Verizon asking for the password. These problems were intermittent, which made the Verizon employees dubious, but it's like the car that you take to the garage that suddenly works fine. Anyway, there were some other problems too, so I got a replacement phone again, which is the phone I currently have had for about 3 months. A few days ago it went from bad to worse. In fact it went Crazy!: Every call I make or receive is immediately dropped. Maybe after 5 or 6 tries, I can complete a call, but rarely. When I do, the mute and speaker options spontaneously activate, at the same time!! When I go into my voicemail, the messages are deleted in rapid fashion, one after the other, and I cannot get them back. Or, as I said earlier, the Wifi/Bluetooth screens appear, and it's difficult to punch in any numbers as I have to hit the back arrow many times. Strangely, the phone makes odd sounds: It buzzes or makes this odd chiming sound! If I didn't know better, I would think that I have finally lost my mind! I could go on but you have the gist. The phone is simply not workable. I phoned tech support, and she was very nice. After an hour on the phone, it worked ok, until the following day. She didn't do a factory reset, but she had me take the sim card and battery out. She did things on her end, which unfortunately I don't recall, but the phone worked ok until the following day, when it went crazy again.
I took it to the corporate Verizon store where I live, The guy said "It's a lousy phone, a cheap, bottom of the line phone." By the way, throughout this time, I had had about 6 hours with tech support, between this phone and the last one.
THIS IS MY QUESTION: I asked him if I could have a totally different phone, since this model is clearly defective. He said no, but they could send me another replacement. He told me to call trech support while I was there in the store and ask them, because they don't do repairs at the store. The tech on the phone told me the issue is with my Gmail account! That there is a virus on some phones and each time I get a replacement phone, because I have kept the same Gmail account, the virus keeps getting 'transferred', for lack of a better word, to the next phone. I was totally incredulous. Virus? She said, "Well, I use the term loosely, but it's just a weird glitch.When you get a replacement phone, bring it back and we'll save and upload all your data, and set you up with a new email account." I was confused and annoyed, as I had never heard of this, and felt I was getting the runaround. I asked her if they could give me a different phone (free of charge) and of course the answer was no. By the way, I should mention that the Stellar is no longer made. These are my options, according to the 3 different Verizon employees I spoke with: I am eliblele for the early upgrade which they call the Edge. From what I understand, it's the full retail price paid out over 2 years, with a partial payment made at time of purchase. One person told me that after 24 months, they would accept what I paid as payment in full? Sounds too generous. Option 2 is $50 of a new phone, and option 3 is to buy a new phone at a Verizon store that is having an android sale. So, I acquiesced to getting another replacement which I will keep until I buy a new totally different phone. My impression is that it's not like buying a bad toaster. They don't refund your money and let you get whatever you want for the same price! My question is this: Does Verizon ever just replace a phone that has had problems, with a totally different model? I have made as much of a stink as I can muster towards that end, but I am wondering if anyone out there has actually been able to pull that off?
Thank you for any feedback ,comments or stories!

amysue, We defintely want you to have a reliable and working phone. Our apologies that you have had issues with the current model, the Galaxy Stellar. After reviewing information about the overall function of the phone, it does not appear that Samsung has recalled the device or stated that all Stellar devices are defective, with that being said, the warranty would still only cover the same make and model. The only time a completely different phone is sent out is if the manufacturer deems the entire make and model overall faulty. It is common to have a few glitches and a master/factory reset, in addition to all other troubleshooting, will help resolve these issues. The Stellar is no longer made because there have been several Samsung galalxy devices launched, and this is common with any device manufacturer. Our recommendation is to take advantage of EDGE, if you are seeking a new device with low monthly payments. This gives you the chance to explore different device options without having a contract and you can EDGE up to a new device once meeting certain requirements. We hope to resolve your concerns here or by calling customer support.

IPhone 4 tethering, but the phone isn't the problem!

Okay, it seems as though the vast majority of people are having problems with their iPhone 4's not connecting, or in Windows, it's causing their systems to freeze. Well, I'm actually having the exact opposite of this. iPhone good, MBP sad.
Problem (Long): Plugging in my iPhone 4 via USB and using tethering causes my new MacBook Pro to freeze after only a few minutes use (a few minutes being about 10 or so). I have used it before without troubles, and I'm noticing that both times I streamed YouTube videos, as well as videos from blip.tv (Flash videos). I can rule out the browser, as Safari and Firefox both locked up (well, the system went kernel panic on me). Essentially, looking at the crash report, a networkUI something or other took a dump, hence the panic.
I'm assuming that the large amount of data that's being streamed through the phone is causing it, since prior times I've just browsed the interwebs, and it worked just fine. I'm on AT&T, I have 3G, and I'm getting about 2-3 bars (the place I'm staying has Wi-Fi, but it's horrendously slow, and the walls here are lined with lead I think, hence the low signal).
Am I right about what I'm thinking? Large data over kinda hokey 3G signal causes OS 10.6 to freak out? Seems most likely.
Problem (Short): iPhone 4 tethering causes my MacBook Pro to kernel panic and it's cause of some networkUI nonsense. iPhone 4 is unaffected.
I'm not super duper worried about a rapid response, as I'm pretty sure this is the reason why. However, I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem, and if they have, was it the same conditions?
Oh, and for those that are curious, my MacBook Pro is only two weeks old, with all updates installed.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!! :-D

Using the supplied iPhone Charger and Cable... Connect to the Mains Outlet for at least 20 to 30 Minutes.

Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead. Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread.
I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
Thanks very much

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
(Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If that's not it try the following:
Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
I would suggest logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
resolved.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,

Is there any way to combine 2 seperate lines on the same account into a family plan?

My wife and I have our phones on the same account, but the Verizon Wireless salespeople signed her up as 4 separate lines instead of a family plan. I admit she was an easy mark for the salesperson, because she went in to get two smartphones and walked out with 3 smartphones and a home voip device. I was at work and wasn't expecting her to be taken advantage of in such a way, or I would have had her wait to join when we both had the time to do it together. Now we have a smartphone collecting dust in a drawer, and a home phone that only rings when telemarketers call.
Long story short, we are going to have to cancel two of the lines that we don't use, probably pay etf's, and all that fun stuff. If we are to keep Verizon, we will need to switch our lines from being separate services to a family plan or it just won't be worth keeping this carrier. 2gigs of data just simply isn't enough for us both, considering the family plans for 2 people that are comparably priced have 10gigs.
Has anyone here run into a similar situation? Any help you can give in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

How are you on the same account if they are separate lines?
Were any of these lines on the Edge payment option?

Can you use 2 bluetooth headphones at the same time with ipad?

I'd like to purchase 2 bluetooth headsets for my elderly parents to use with their ipad for FaceTime. They both typically use FaceTime at the same time to talk to their grandkids, but have difficulty hearing just using the ipad speaker. Is it possible to utilize 2 bluetooth headsets at the same time with ipad. If not, what's the best alternative? (Wired headsets will not work as they also are often caring for another young grandchild at the time and can't be tethered)

You can only pair to one BT headset at a time.
As an alternative, have you considered a BT speaker so you can increase the volume of the Facetime call?

I have duplicate email accounts icons, NOT recieving duplicate emails just two of the same email icons

I had a blackberry curve 8310 with ATT. I transferred carriers and got a new bold 9650 with sprint. I transferred data from old curve to new bold. But the old email didn't work on new bold. So I went to set up BIS with sprint, it added email account that works. But now I have two icons with the same email address. One works and one doesn't so it is confusing when I am selecting address to compose email. How do I delete email icon/account. I hid the icons but when composing email, it still shows two of the same email in the From:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!
