Future Things We Want Rim To Fix On The Playbook (Organized)

Well I cannot believe I just did this. I just went through the entire thread “Future Things we Want Rim to Fix On The Blackberry Playbook” (Found Here) yes all 16 pages. I made a list of all the features everyone requested in particular the more important ones / commonly requested and organized it in hopes RIM and PB developers and the like will come across this, and be able to quickly sift through what its users want. I will attempt to keep this updated as updates are released to solve these issues. Any suggestions feel free and I will edit the post. Please don’t spam this thread, let’s try to keep this thread organized. Remember this is for FEATURES. APPLICATION requests belong in the application request thread (Found Here).
These are not listed in any sort of importance, it’s just the list I compiled as I was sifting through the forum.
BlackBerry App World
         Sort Applications by New, Popular, Most download, Highest Rated etc.
          Sort Downloaded applications by Size, Name, Personal rating etc.
BlackBerry OS
        Cursor, it needs to be a lot simpler to move the cursor to edit a few letters/words currently the steps required are far too cumbersome. Many suggested arrow keys.
        File Manager, pretty straight forward
         Auto-correct, word anticipation, auto-capitalize, Spelling-suggestion, add to dictionary (Basically what our             BlackBerry Phone can already do)
         Pictures in Portrait Mode
         Wi-Fi Music Sync, similar to current BlackBerry Phones
         File Extension Support throughout OS that includes emails (.zip .rar .htm .html .wav) Streaming extensions such as .pls and .mp3 in email attachments
         Open Multiple Documents (Doc To Go, ppt to go, spreadsheet to go)
         Ability to quickly change font color, size, type, and various formatting of words (Double tap brings up a little window with few simple options)
         No backlight/stand-by option when plugged in
         Save E-mail to playbook for future edit (This might not be so important once a native client is on the PB)
         Support for File Folders within Email (Again, native email client might fix this)
         Adobe Acrobat Reader enhancement/bring up to par (PDF Search, Highlighting, bookmarks, click links)
         Open PDF in browser or support to auto-open PDF once downloaded (Should be an option to turn on/off)
         While viewing a picture/video in Pictures or Video App have the ability to send via email
         Ability to create custom folders for applications / home-screen icons
         Better Bluetooth support (headsets, cars)
         Recognition of an Email Address or Phone Number or Street Address in an Email/Browser/Application, if BB Phone is bridged then option to place call or launch email or maps should be available
         Search Text in Doc to Go (Ctrl + F like feature)
         Wireless Printing
         Ability to delete stock applications
         If GPS isn’t working and Phone is bridged it should make use of Phone GPS
         More Camera Options (timer, lighting modes, exposure settings etc.)
         Advanced Multi-Task options – Have two applications open side by side using gestures
         Gesture to put to sleep/unlock (2 Hand finger swipe from top-to-bottom) [I personally don’t mind the power button this is just what people mentioned] 
Keyboard
         Smart space bar similar to Blackberry Phones (Eg. Space in URL inputs a ‘.’ Or in an email it inputs the @)
         Hold letter to capitalize
         123/sym key locking after use, Most people only use one symbol at a time. Therefore, after clicking that symbol the keyboard should switch back to letters. (This should be an option to turn off/on)
         Arrow Key (Mentioned above, not sure how it would work, but if applied correctly it might be better than some form of cursor)
BlackBerry Browser
         Change browser ID for websites that specify Internet Explorer etc.
         Organize bookmarks – change order, rename etc.
         Search text in browser (Ctrl +F like feature)
         Save passwords in browser
         Flash on demand (option to press to play flash)
         New Option in settings – Default Links Open in new tab
         Ability to have multiple browser running (It is a Multi-Task power horse)
BlackBerry Bridge
Support photo, audio and videos of files on BB Phones
fb, twitter and other social apps should be able to push notifications into playbook and be viewed there as well.
sms can be viewed and edited just like BBM messages

**bleep** that deletes the purpose of this thread . I was hoping to keep it updated... I hate when forums don't let you edit.

  • Future Things we want Rim to Fix on the Blackberry Playbook (RIM Please read and reply) Paying customers need some feedback.

    Since we all purchased this item for the Flash on the Go experience let make sure we have the following in the next OS update please
    Stereo Bluetooth (Can't sync with my Car Stereo) Ford Focus
    for those long road trips
    NetFlix App paying subscriber
    Hulu App paying subscriber
    Scapbook App that was premiered before the release of the BB playbook
    Android
    Please add to the list so Rim will read.  Paying $499.99 to 699.99 for something that is a paperweight because of the things we can't have and there are list of websites we can't even access why? 

    Also VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
    We need a FILE MANAGER ASAP!
    this to me is crucial cause i cant manage anything in terms of files right now on my playbook and i have 64GB of data i could store but there is no point of filling it all up if i cant even manage any files as of right now. its to the point that i rather store stuff in my BB smartphone than in my PB! which makes no sense!
    Also,
    -auto correction would be nice
    -view pictures in portrait mode
    -themes on PB would be great
    -wi-fi music sync just like on my BB smartphone would be very good as well
    -a .rar and .zip file opener and extractor for downloaded files
    -BBM BBM BBM BBM! please BBM!
    -Social feed app! that ill be amazing! or bridging the one i have on my BB smartphone!
    -BB protect for PB is going to be necessary and mandatory over time! very important!
    for now that will be all...

  • Why can't you purchase stuff from the itunes store if you're not in that country? I'm in South Africa and most of the best things I want to download are on the US itunes, so I try switch to it but it won't let me download or purchase? I don't get it?

    I don't get why? What's the harm if you're in a different country? We all pay the same way and the internet was made to connect people over the world, stuff is downloaded from different global destinations millions of times a day. So what's the point of having an itunes store and App Store that limits you to the boring stuff in your own country? You read about these great app's, bands etc and find them in search engines, you have all the Mac products, but then you can't use them coz of where you're currenlty living? It's like a horrible tease!
    Is there a way around this? Or what can be done in order to access the things I want?
    Any advice, suggestions anyone?

    The reason is licensing - artists/record companies/TV networks/movie distributors all have separate licensing deals in different countries (or no licensing deals at all). It isn't mysterious or secret.
    The only way around this is to have an iTunes account in the other country - either a valid credit card with billing address in that country, or an iTunes gift card from that country (though you'll still be asked for a billing address in the country for which you've purchased the card).

  • Utter Disappoint​ment in BlackBerry (RIM) quality standards producing the Playbook

    I owned a Blackberry Playbook for a little less a week, well really/technically I owned 6 different Playbooks in just under a week.
    I had pixel problems with each and every Playbook, and had great service from the retail outlet, PC WORLD/CURRYS where they would exchange even for one faulty pixel.
    I would be keen to know of others experiences, are there any people who know 100% they have a completely pixel defect free screen? I doubt it. I found a near perfect screen would always be spoilt by a dead or stuck pixel, even on one where it was not very noticeable it was there and ruined the product.
    I spoke to Blackberry support on 3 different occasions, ease representative told me the screen "should" be perfect and if I exchanged the product I would be extremely unlucky to receive a PB with a faulty screen. Yes 6 out of 6 devices were faulty.
    Its a shame as I really liked the interface, the size and usability of the device, but although I know I'm a hard task-master, I demand 100% defect free devices when they are brand new out of the box, if they have any defect, I expect a discount. 1/2 pixels being stuck/dead may not be considered a defect by RIM, but for me it is unacceptable and would really ruin my enjoyment of the product. Also I believe companies should have to display such policies clearly on the outside packaging as from my point of view, it is not a reasonable policy.
    I am considering purchasing a PB direct form the BB store, but I fear that I will meet the same disappointment, and find myself in a return cycle through the post system which will become very tiresome.
    Please post your experiences of buying your playbooks, gripes or commendations, unfortunately I currently don't have one as 6 faulty devices was too much, but I would be keen to see if it would be worth trying again.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Ok, So I bought a Playbook from the BlackBerry Store, it arrived today, 1 dead pixel, 3 white specs, I think they are dust due to that they can be seem even when the screen is completely off. That's device number 7 that is faulty!
    So I need to return it, who do I contact? I try the technical support line, the lady was pleasant but it took 15 minutes (total call length 30 mins) for her to go away to talk to her manager to see what they can do for me, to confirm they could do an advanced exchange.
    I was emailed some terms and conditions that I am supposed to accept for this advanced exchange, but it references repair in these terms and conditions (which a second support person said is just their standard terms even for a new exchange), but my real problem lies with if I agree to the exchange, does this reset my cooling off period (distance selling regulations UK) which enables me to return a device with even 1 pixel defect or does it count as a Warranty exchange and therefore remove my standard Consumer Rights from being reset upon receiving the new item?
    I sent a long email to the [email protected] which stated I had contacted the technical support, and I got a reply email (yes very timely) within a couple of hours which basically just says
    To whom it may concern,
    Thank you for contacting order support. Have you already contacted technical support about this problem?
    Thank you,
    xxx.
    Order Support
    Shopblackberry.com
    I have xxx for the representatives name, but it doesn't even reference my name given in my email, this is not good customer service.
    I fear I will have to just get a refund as otherwise I can see myself being stuck with a device with defects I'm not happy with.
    I also think that it is probably a rare few lucky people who receive defect free screens on their playbooks, as I have had 7 in a row it can hardly be just bad luck on my part can it...
    Disgruntled and dejected

  • The Playbook great hardware and os made useless by RIM

    This is me ranting as I spent £400 on a blackberry playbook great hardware and os is impressive but you cannot do  much on it becasue:
    To this day the Native SDK is not available.
    RIM them seleves have mentioned that they need more apps for the playbook and when IM+ requested approval of their app they are still waiting now close to 3 months.
    EA Games are laughing at you, they have developed many games for apple and only three for playbook.
    You guys at RIM should be sacked and get people that can do their jobs.
    And why are you not clear if the Playbook has GPS, yes or no simple answer.
    I used to be a huge Blackberry fan, but I think that they are going down. I cannot recommend this product to anyone which makes me feel like a fool for buying it myselve.
    Regards
    Tahid (personal content removed)
    RIM please sack people in your company for there incompentancies. 

    grissom, are you saying that RIM is still supporting the Playbook?  I had no idea!
    Well, I missed out on Betamax.  No one in my family ever owned a Tucker. But I'll be able to tell my grandchildren that I once owned a Playbook...

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx

  • I have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account or id for eCH OF THEM. WHAT IS THE FIX?

    i have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account / id for each device  how do i fix the settings on each so that with the same ID / login I can chech me emails, share contacts etc, be able to use i messenger on each without the whole conversation automatically beiing picked up by my other devices? some conversations just arent intended to be shared!

    Turn it into the local police department with an explanation as to who you tried to contact and what they told you. That's the only safe procedure, as otherwise the owner could report the iPod as stolen, even though you tried to return it, and get you into trouble.
    Regards.

  • In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
    I think I figured out how to fix it-
    I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
    Problem solved.

    You need to find out who the carrier was in Switzerland and see if they will unlock the device. The carrier with the lock is the only one that can authorize the unlock. You may need to check with the original owner and see if they can get it unlocked by the carrier if you do not qualify.

    WoodyK,
    If you are going to use your iTunes account as you and your partners iCloud account then you need to go into each phone and change your settings.  In messages, you need to change from iCloud to the phone number.  Create a contact with your unformation and re-train Siri with your name.  Let me know if this helps.
