    Some other peeps were asking about this on other threads, care to post the link to the *.BAR?
    Check goodereader.com in their app store. They have all the good stuff there. Great collection.

    And leave Koz a big Thank You for all his hard work converting all of us ungrateful types.

    I side loaded the converted Android app on my PlayBook. I signed in and it had the list of previous transactions. It recognized the swipe attachment too. I haven't tested an actual transaction though. Square should publish it to BB World.

    So does mean the card reader/ jack works on the PB? If yes, does this mean the propay reader works on the PB as well?

    just sideloaded it and put the card reader in for a test. works like a charm. *Note: must be running OS 10.1 or higher for the card reader to work. If less than 10.1 the card reader will not work, but the rest of the app will (you would just have to manually key in the card number)

    I sideloaded the Square app and did a $1 test transaction. Works fine.

    I just got the Square reader today and the app doesn't show it connected when it clearly is. Any tips? Thanks!

    The reader won't work on the PlayBook. It requires a headset port (input/output) instead of a headphone port (audio out only). The jack on the PlayBook doesn't include a microphone. You can still use the app for manual input.

    On the Z10, at the end of the swiping tutorial, it has a test swipe routine. The first time I connected the reader, it didn't work until I did the test routine.

    Ok, I installed the app and signed in on a friend's Android phone. Plugged the reader in and it detected it.

    Back into my phone and it's not seeing it.

    From the main screen, click on the person on the top bar. That will bring up the settings screen. Scroll down to the bottom and there is the How to Swipe tutorial. Have the reader fully plugged in first.

    There's no swipe tutorials...

    I seem to be missing a few things as you can see:

    ... or not. CB10 won't attach photos from my phone.

    Let me email the screenshots to myself, host them on photobucket and paste the link...

    The version of Square I'm running is 2.3.2 on my Z10STL100-3/10.1.0.2025.

    Just did a test swipe and it is still working for me.

    That might be it then. I had to use 3.2.2 because the older one wouldn't take a Canadian address.

    Do you know where I can find 2.3.2? I deleted it when I figured out I couldn't enter a Canadian address in it, but if it means I can activate the reader then I'll give that a go.

    Thanks.

    Yes, where is the elusive 'Square' BAR file download ?
    Don't remember from where but I got one, sideloaded it but it just won't work....

    I got one at Good e Reader but the link seems to be broken now. I guess I need to try 2.3.2.

    This is frustrating. I wish companies would just support the platform instead of help propel BlackBerry into the mess they're in now.

    Finally got it, if I'm not mistaken it is the vs 1.0.75.0 and it's working great with my Z10 running OS 10.1.0.4200 (T-Mobile), tested app, reader and transaction as well.....I've been going @ 100 mph a minute pace and somehow I misplaced the link but I do have the BAR file and would be more than happy to send it to whoever needs it., just PM me, it's only 3.58 MB......Have a good one !

    rayporsche, I installed the 1.0.75.0 and it's the same one I already had from the looks of it. The screenshots don't match the ones posted by xopher, and there's no swipe tutorial.

    Hello again, sorry to hear that, I was having a similar issue with the previous version that I had, back then I was running OS 10.0.10.85. Then I found this other one which just worked, now I'm running OS 10.1.0.4200 if that is in any way relevant to the issue, not really sure....... Herewith some pics:

    Thanks. The screenshots of Square you posted are what I have.

    The OS is slightly different. I'm running OS Version 10.1.0.4633 (Software Release 10.1.0.4181)

    I did a reset on my phone (holding power button down through the reboot cycle) and the Square reader is now detected.

    I did a $1.00 test transaction with my CC and the Square app crashed just as it asked for a signature. A second attempt worked OK.

    Silly Android.
