When do you need Internet Tethering rather than Blackberry Bridge?

I've been using my new Playbook Bridged to my Bold 9700 since I got it. Since I've been able to get to every site I wanted to get to on the browser all of this time using the Bridge, I didn't even know about Tethering.
Today I was attempting to setup some new email addresses to the Playbook, and it said that it couldn't do it till I enabled the Internet Tethering option. The tethering would occur to the same Bold 9700 anyways that it is currently Bridged to. So what are the times that Tethering is required rather than the Bridge?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bridge mode works as an extension of the phone. Browsing with tether gives greater speed and better stability especially with sites that stream or load with a lot of data.
Tethering uses the phone as a mobile modem rather than a pass through data device. When bridged the tablet is read back as if it is a phone rather than a stand alone tablet computer type device. In the bridge mode some sites may appear as if for a mobile phone rather than for a tablet or computer.
My preference is to use tethering whem web browsing. I use the bridge mode mainly for email, schedules, and PDA type functions.

    when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
    Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

    The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

    Hello,
    Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
    please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
    I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
    If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.

  • Do you need internet to download a software update on itunes for ipod

    okay i've got a new ipod and im downloading iOS 6 on laptop and i know you need internet at the start but im leaving to go somewhere soon and planning to take laptop with me and still continuing the update im just wondering
    do you need internet through the whole process?

    You need an internet connection until the actual update starts. First the computer downloads the update file and then it verifies the files by contacting Apple. Then the update starts and an internet connection is no longer required.
    If you stop after downloading the update file, you will need an internet connection when you resume since iTunes has verify the file right before actually updating/restoring the iPod

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Do you need Internet acess to watch a music video bought from iTunes

    I want to buy a MUSIC VIDEO off of iTunes but I don't want to wait for our Internet to load it each time I want to watch it so if I buy one I want to make sure I can watch it no matter where and when is that possible. I would buy it off my iPod touch and load it right off the Internet.

    When you buy it, then it is stored on your computer.  You do not need internet to acces it at all.

    My guess is you are on 10.6.5 or 10.6.6 on the mac.
    There is a technical problem between apples updates and Adobe creative suite. There is no official one solution, and Adobe has been aware of this problem for a few months now. The problem is that modifier keys are doing the opposite or being held down always.

    If you are on 10.6.5, you might as well update to 10.6.6 before anything. Try this utility. The name is scary because of  hack, but is is safe and made by and Adobe employee Jesper Bache.

    Also try updating firefox, and disabling dropbox if using that.

  • When do you need to register the message bundle in the faces-config

    hello
    i have applied two examples to localize messages, label, title by creating message.properties file and utilizing the f:loadbundle component the EL expression. It works like a charm without having to register anything, I have only registered the locale, but not the bundle
    also , i have used a programmatic approach
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ResourceBundle msg = ResourceBundle.getBundle("message",fc.getViewRoot().getLocale());
    fc.addMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_FATAL.toString(),new FacesMessage(msg.getString("ok")));
    which also worked without registering the message bundle!!
    although many article i read ask to register the message bundle.
    Another thing is that in Oracle Jdeveloper 10g for FORMS and PL/SQL Developers states that the message file needs to be located in \resource subdirectory
    and using getBundle (resources.message) to get it. In fact i kept getting errors indicating that the base bundle cannot be read until i located the file in the ViewContoller directory itself (and that is why i reference it with getBundle("message") rather than resources.message as indicated in the book.
    appreciate your response

    Hi,
    Your question is not very clear. But let get through some various guideline.
    <f:loadBundle/> is horribly buggy and was all but removed from the specification. As a tag, it gets only evaluated during the render view phase, meaning that if you have EL expression referring the loadBundle's var during another phase, it's going to fail. The most common case is during validation with overridden messages.
    About the programmatic access, the problem is that you're linking your application to a specific bundle at code level. Meaning that you're preventing it to be reused in a different context, while the following get the most application local bundle name (faces-config.xml's message-bundle property)
    Resourcebundle.getBundle(FacesContext.getApplication().getMessageBundle())Registration is also the only way to override the default conversion / validation messages.
    For JSF 1.1 (10g), those are your option. However, if you're using JSF 1.2 (11g), you can also register resource bundles in the faces-config file, you then register the bundle and the var associated to it, removing the need of f:loadBundle and fixing the non render phase issues. furthermore, the code version is also simplified to:
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ResourceBundle bundle = context.getApplication().getResourceBundle(context, "varName");
    bundle.getString("myKey");You other part about \resource I never heard of nor cared for. You can place the bundle where you like on the classpath.

  • When do you need a subprocess

    In a discussion with some colleagues and the topic came up around rules of thumb for recognizing when you need to move a part of you workflow to a sub-process?
    For example . . . when you clearly to define a new work unit to keep your token moving! When you need to change organizational levels might be a guide as well.
    Thoughts?

    My guess is that books could be written about this, but I can think of a
    few common reasons:
    1- The overall process is overly complicated
    2- You can reuse the process
    3- That part of the process changes very often
    4- You talk and think about a part of the process as a single entity in
    one ocasion and as a sequence of activities in another.
    5- For some sequence of activities, you care when they start, but not when
    they finish (asynchronus processing).
    6- Division of labor: one person designs/implements process A, another one
    process B.
    7- etc.
    My experience is that when you start talking about the process on early
    stages, you leave some details out, draw some boxes, etc. Then you start
    filling in the blanks and what at first looked like a single activity, has
    now become several.
    That moment is usually a good indicator that you might need to extract a
    subprocess.

    Juan
