Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone else had this same problem or knows how to fix it. With the news that we can sideload instagram I got to it right away, however whenever I try to connect my Z10 to DDPB, it won't connect, I get an error. Even if I press scan for the ip address, it shows a random ip that's not the same as my z10s. Developmental mode is turned on of course. Also I noticed my "notifications" section in the hub has disappeared, perhaps this is related?

Thanks!

Matt

What is the address of your Z10? settings, about, network tab...

Sideloading made easy with the PlayBook App Manager Browser Plugin | CrackBerry.com

I had a similar problem. Use this method instead

From the network it says 192.168.2.20 on wifi. And using the plugin didn't work it just wouldn't connect. I've used the DDPB app for all my other sideloads and this is the first time its given me connection issues!

Very strange. Sounds like you're using the correct IP address (Settings > About > Network > Wi-Fi - IPv4). Just as a troubleshooting suggestion, the Z10 should be plugged into the computer via USB and accessible as a networked drive. Try having BlackBerry Link open while you're sideloading, that should guarantee your device is connected/accessible as a networked drive.

Restart both your phone and pc. I had the same problem and this fixed it.

Update: I was able to connect to DDPB via my laptop, almost pulled out my hair lol! Got instagram its working pretty good for a port. But I can't help thinking my software is corrupt on my Z10. Did the new software update eliminate the notifications section in the hub? Ive tried going into the hub settings but there's no option for it. Might have to try reinstalling the os. Thanks for everyone's help so far, greatly appreciated!
