Blackberry News App running "wild"

Howdy fellas!
the "Blackberry News App for Blackberry Playbook" ran on my 2nd PB64GB just fine. Some feeds were added w/URLs from the web and worked just fine.
Since abaout a week the sync didn't finish. Tried removing and reinstall but it's not working anymore - stalls @ 50% "updating feeds".
Q.1: Known issues w/ 1.2.0.5? I have another 1.2.0.16 on another PB and it seems to work
Q.2: Any place on the PB to remove settngs or the like of that app?
Q.3: How to get 1.2.0.16 on the failing unit?
Greetings from Germany

Hello hbilke, 
Thank you for your question. 
Have you checked BlackBerry World to see if you are able to update the version of the applications?

  • BlackBerry - News app

    I have yet to find a news app which works as good as the BlackBerry news app that existed on my PlayBook.
    Currently using Zite - but would prefer a news reader with a format and choice/selection of news feeds similar to what BlackBerry provided.
    Since BlackBerry written or sponsored apps are always of the highest quality, and simply feel right - it would be great it BlackBerry would provide a similar news app for bb10.

  • Blackberry news app not updating

    After the last recent update, the BB news app won't update. I have the latest software and would like to know what can be done to have the news update again. Other people i know have the same problem.

    That news app is not supported any longer.   It was published at the time, but sorry don't have a link now.

    how do i turn off apps running in the background with the new upgrade?

    They changed it a bit, but you can still close apps. Double click the Home button to pull up the currently running apps. Side scroll over to the app you want to close, then swipe up on the app *window* (not the icon at the bottom).

  • How to run OS 10.5 and older apps with a new iMac running OS Lion

    I have a PPC G5 running 10.5.8, which I want to retire and buy a new iMac running Lion. Problem is I want to continue to run old Photoshop apps and other old software that doesn't run on Lion. How do I do this?

    Web search "virtualize OSX"
    According to TheSmokeMonster you'd also need the server version which is not the version that came on your G5.  You'd have to find installer discs for the server version (no experience with this myself - just noting a difference in OSX versions).

  • Is there anyway to close apps running in the background with the new IOS 7 operating system?

    I would like to be able to close apps running in the background and haven't figured out if I can do it  or how to do it with the new operating system update. I would appreciate any help. Thanks and have a good day.

    Just look at this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5363937

  • HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
    You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
    Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps

  • I am new to iPad. Is There a way to stop apps running in the background or is resets only option.

    I am new to iPad. Is There a way to stop apps running in the background or is resets only option. Don't know what Teresa has to do with it

    Close inactive apps in the background. No need to reset.
    Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.

  • HT201365 On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    Double tap the home button.  Slide the preview window upward.  You can do 2 at a time.
    It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps).  The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources.  The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.

  • Since iphone 5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3

    Since iphone5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and totally reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3
    Are there many others experiencing this?

    The number of apps that run in the background are very few and far between. An app being in the recently used apps bar or dock means just that for the most part - the app was recently used only and is not running.
    Have you powered your iPhone off and on and/or tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart since the update was installed?
    Are you accessing an Exchange account with the Mail app on your iPhone?

    During an aborted migration attempt from old Macbook Pro to a new machine running Yosemite my recently installed apps and settings have been placed in a deleted user folder. How do I reinstate them?

    I suggest starting over. Boot into Recovery mode, wipe the HD, reinstall the OS, and, on first boot, use the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide to do the migration.'

  • After restoring 5S from 5, notifications from many news APPs don't work (no problem with my iphone 5 running iOS 7.0.2)

    I used iphone 5 and have updated it to iOS 7.0.2. Everything worked with it. I can receive all the notification from news APPs.
    After receiving iphone 5s, I set it up by restoring the backup from iphone 5. However, not all APPs were synced. Also, many notifications are not working especially with the news APPs I was using.
    The notification of those APPs affected are turned on in the notification center.
    I have restored iphone 5S to factory setting and set up again, but still not all the notifications are working.
    What should I do?

    A workaround is to reinstall lazy apps, mostly for those that were restored but don't appear on notification center, eg. Whatsapp. In my case I have more than 500 apps installed.
    We need a correct solution for this problem.
    I also had this problem on the past moving from 4s to 5.
    And now from 5 to 5s.
    The only notifications working after restore in my iPhone are those from Facebook.
