New Beta (2.0.0.4869) for the Playbook

**hodula1** · 11-22-2011, 01:52 PM

The new version is 4869. Size is 460MB.

"This version offers support for new languages, Blackberry Bridge updates and Multi-media enhancements..."

You can get it by registering your BB Pin here

Edit: Android Apps don't seem to be working. I am going to try wiping and reinstalling from scratch to see if they work.

Update: Android apps seem to be working after a security wipe and re-install.

Heh seems now even the 2.0 is now getting the insubstantial language+tweaks updates.

WOW...this is a big update. Mine is coming up as being 460MB.

I need to start bringing my PB to work... Lol. Always have to wait.

No incremental updates then? The original OS was about 300....if adding native bbm costs 160mb, I'll stick to doing it via bridge...

**lawguyman** · 11-22-2011, 02:06 PM

This is the biggest (in size) update that I can remember.

**kb5zht** · 11-22-2011, 02:14 PM

I smell a rat. why would an update that " offers support for new languages, Blackberry Bridge updates and Multi-media enhancements..." be 460 MB?

Can't will till I finish installing and see what's new with it.

My thought is that there might be code buried in there for lots of other stuff. I'll give a quarter to anyone who can figure out how to unlock it.

Ah what the ****.

I'll be a lab rat today. Signing up and will test it out.

**zoban** · 11-22-2011, 02:24 PM

Image to verify the size etc ..

Why ask? Just try it!

Maybe they put an extra 100MB just to tease you

**Houshinto** · 11-22-2011, 02:24 PM

Ah....why not.

If you have 2.0 installed, do you still need to register PIN? Or will I see a notification when I get home?

Thanks!

**Blacklac** · 11-22-2011, 02:27 PM

The OS2 beta's have not had incremental updates. If you want those, stick to official releases. This does not have native BBM either... Lol

Incremental upgrade takes time to filter out what's really upgraded. Time that can be better spent doing something else. Since not 10000000 people downloading it, it wouldn't affect the server so much.

You will need to register your PIN in order for the update to be pushed to your PB.

Yes you need to "re-register" for each update till the offical is released..

You must register PIN again.

edit - haha. just like everyone that has responded above me.

I notice a few things:

Inside Sound & Notifications, there is now an option for "Visual Notifications" including LED notifications! I sent myself an email and I got an audio notification but no LED notification. This is good so far even if LED is not yet working!

There is a Keyboard setting but no options there.

**dennie82** · 11-22-2011, 02:38 PM

Anything new with the multimedia player?

**lawguyman** · 11-22-2011, 02:41 PM

The design of the Bridged Contacts App is cooler - more refined.

Calendar looks different too.

None of my Android Apps seem to work.

Flash Player is 11.1.121.1
