OS2 Beta!

I'm curious who's downloaded/installed this version, and what your experience was/is using it?  I'm thinking about getting it myself, before the pending release date in Feb. of next year, but unsure if I should do so because of possible beta issues with the new os. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've seen this question asked elsewhere, with people giving their experiences. I just want to hear what people in this forum have to say about this beta version before attempting installation. Their is nothing wrong with asking and I don't think I have to be some d@mn computer nerd before I can try it. Just want to be sure is all.

  • Arabic and the latest OS2 Beta

    Hello RIM,
    I really need to know why you still not caring about us Arabic users, not only you didn't provide us with Arabic typing capabilities but also the PlayBook can't read Arabic well!
    Please do something how do you expect to sell in the middle east against iPads when people can't even read their local newspaper using it!
    Also don't forget how many BlackBerries are sold and connected to BIS @ the middle east specially the GCC! So please give us more care.

    Salam
    We are very glad to listen ur views blackberry will be soon working on it

  • Bridge mail starts and shuts in a loop on Playbook

    Dear all,
    All of a sudden my bridge mail flickers white (looks like start and shut down of bridge mail in a loop) instead of opening.
    BB is 9900 and PB has latest OS (2).
    Is there a known problem?
    I already experienced the same when i used OS 2 Beta and the workaround with the app "Bridge OS2 alternative" does now work as well.
    I appreciate any hint before I start reinstalling everything.
    Many thanks,
    Christian

    Thanks aandras,
    I previously had the problem too with the OS2 beta and then awipe fixed it, that is somewhat understadable.
    But now it happened all of a sudden.
    In the meantime I deleted another approx 200 mails AND installed the new PB OS update that just was released.
    Still no change.
    Wiping is no option since it took me months to make the PB as it is right now and I do not know what it takes me to make it as it was before.
    Isn't this a Blackberry support forum? Where are the geeks from RiM to help me out of this thing? I doubt I am the only one with this happening. Just "Hey dude, if it flickers just wipe that thing" cannot be the only answer.
    help!

  • All default apps gone

    Hey guys. Very new to this. Just got the playbook from the Devcon and it was preloaded with beta 2.0. I did a security wipe but I did not create a back up. What happen is when it rebooted, every app is gone even the default ones. I tried borrowing another's developer's playbook and creating a backup and restoring it on mine. That didn't work as well as I tried to switch device. Hope anyone can help?
    Much appreciated,

    Are you wanting to reload the OS2 beta, or the OS 1.0.7?
    Have you registered for the 2.0 beta download (I assume you must now, that you've wiped your device and want to download it again?)

  • OS2 is driving me insane.. please help..

    I was pretty excited to learn that the new OS is available but i found out after updating the new OS that there are few important things missing on my PB. It's just me or what? I am missing powerpoint which I use a lot, video chat is gone as well and even the default pictures were not there anymore.. do you have any idea guys? BB support promise to get back to me after 24 to 48 hours..

    Hi, i wont be writing this if I have the power point support, or the video chat or the wallpapers. I upgraded my PB to OS2.0 yesterday after doing  security wipe so I am sure am not running  the the beta version. On my docs to go there are 2 icons, the word and sheet no slides. Video chat icon is hard to miss and my pictures folder is totally empty.

  • Blackberry ID sign in issue with connection (os 2.0 beta)

    Hi all,
    After updating my playbook to latest version of OS2.0 beta, I cannot sign in with my ID niether in Settings niether in AppWorld.
    It constantly reports connection error even I am successfully connected to wireless network. This is second day of being unable to sign in.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have been able to resolve the issue - the version of Blackberry Bridge installed on my 9300 phone was apparently too old, but the "check for update" function kept telling me that it was up-to-date.
    What i had to do:
    Reload Appworld
    Allow phone to go through a security update (reboot)
    Download new version of bridge (another reboot)
    Pair devices -
    I can now see full message content on emails that I could not before - hopefully this will prove to be a complete fix of the issue.

  • Playbook os2 hotspot

    Prior to the office os 2 release, in the beta version, I was able to connect to free wifi hotspots. I can't do this anymore. It tells me that I must have tethering enabled. Is this a new change? Why do I need tethering for connecting public wifi hotspots?

    Any number of very technical attempts to configure Telus email, revive the bridge connection to the 9900 has failed. Tried to restore the playbook to a pre-OS2 update failed. Stuck with OS2 and old data...good luck!

  • Problem with Outer and Inner Classes....or better way?

    Right now I'm trying to create an Inner class.
    My .java file compiles ok, and I create my jar file too.
    But when I try to instantiate the Inner class, it fails:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/myco/vlXML/vlXML$vlDocument.
    Here's the class code:
    public class vlXML{
        private ArrayList myDocList=new ArrayList(); //holds documents
        public vlXML(){
        private class vlDocument{
            public vlDocument(){
            //stuff goes here
        public vlDocument vlDOC(){
            return new vlDocument();
        public void addDocument(){
            vlXML xxx=new vlXML();
            vlDocument myDoc=xxx.vlDOC();
            myDocList.add(myDoc);
        public int getNumDocs(){
            return myDocList.size();
    }Then, from a jsp page, I call:
    vlXML junk1=new vlXML();
    junk1.addDocument();...and get the error...
    Can someone help me figure out why it's failing?
    Thanks....

    You nailed it - thanks....(duh!)
    While I have your attention, if you don't mind, I have another question.
    I'm creating a Class (outer) that allows my users to write a specific XML file (according to my own schema).
    Within the XML file, they can have multiple instances of certain tags, like "Document". "Document"s can have multiple fields.
    Since I don't know how many "Documents" they may want, I was planning on using an Inner Class of "Document", and then simply letting them "add" as many as necessary (thus the original code posted here).
    Does that seem like an efficient (logical/reasonable) methodology,
    or is there there something better?
    Thanks Again...

  • Pinch open and close zoom (mac) not working in latest beta update

    Anybody know why pinch open close for the mac track pad suddenly does not zoom in the lastest beta update?

    I am typing out easy instructions for those that are new to entering values. I myself am no expert for sure. It took me awhile to figure it out and I got it to work. I was mad when the pinch to zoom didn’t work after I updated. Thank you '''cor-el''' for posting a fix.
    1. Go to a new tab, type in ''about:config'' hit enter
    2. Click the “I’ll be careful, I promise!” button
    3. Scroll down until you see “browser.gesture.pinch.in” right click on it and hit modify
    4. A drop down that says “Enter string value” appears type in ''cmd_fullZoomReduce''
    5. Click ok
    Find the other ones and do the same. After you have entered all four you should see them in bold and on the right under value you should see only this cmd_fullZoomReduce part.
    6.Once you have it all entered just close the tab and it should work.
    I didn’t have to quit Firefox for it to work, but you may.
    I’m using a MacBook Pro and it worked great, Hope this helps.
    Preference Name / Value

  • What is the better way to open and close connection in bean

    Hello, may i ask about the best way to open and close the connection?
    At the first, the connection code is store in Conn class bean. The JSP page will call a method in Process bean to process the query and update of database. the Process bean is using th Conn to connect to database.
    In my process bean, it have a method for each type of sql like select, insert, update, and delete for each tables. Each method will call the Conn to open and close the connection. The jsp page can simply call a method retrieve or update records.
    However, when calling the processUpdate method, it is a method that update a group of tables base on the query result of another group of tables and calculation. If I calling the query method in the same bean file, it will open and close the connection many times (more than 1000 times). After open and close the connection several times, the connection to mySQL will be fail.
    Currently, i include 2 method in Process that is only calling the Conn to open the connection and close connection. When calling the openConnection method, it will also set the boolean connected in the class to true and call Conn to open connection. When calling the closeConnection method, it will also set the boolean connected in the class to false and call Conn to close connection.
    After that, i add some change to the query method which is when the connected is false, it will open the connection by calling the Conn and close the connection themself. If the connected is true, it will not call the Conn to open and close the connection because it already connected to the database.
    Now, i when i calling the query method in jsp, it can open the connection and close the connection individually. When i call the processUpdate in the jsp, this method will calling the openConnection before calling the query and calling closeConnection at the end. It not only faster the process(less open and close), it also no cause the connect to mySQL fail error again. However, it also make the coding in the bean file more longer and complex.
    Is there have any better solution?

    Use connection pooling. This will put the connection management in the hands of the webserver, not your code. Check out this post:

  • I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

    I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

    I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

  • How to delete the beta version in icloud?

    I purchased iWork half an year ago and I use it in icloud. But since the beta version has appeared, it´s not possible to work with my own software. Who knows how to delete the beta version from icloud?

    You can't delete it.
    Why do you need to?  Why can't you just work with your documents like everyone else does, by opening iWork software on your Mac and using File > Open, etc to see your docs that are in iCloud?  Why would you need to use your browser?

  • HT204053 My family owns 3 computers, how can we share, or better yet, centralize our music when we have 3 different apple ID?

    My family owns 3 computers, how can we share, or better yet, centralize our music when we have 3 different Apple ID?
    How can we sync all 3 computers music content on itunes Match? Even when only one purchases music?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    If only one of you purchases content from iTunes (this includes Books and apps too) then I suggest you use that account for each of you for iTunes only.
