The pic will show you the way.

Re-register your Playbook on the Dev 2.0 Beta site.

Thanks John.

I would advise recreating your WiFi connection profile after the update as it seems to be conflicting with the Blackberry ID if you're still using the old profile.

For one direct link
Register your Playbook

v2.0.0.3894 - 228 MB for the update.

Keep 'em coming!! woohoo!!

**leafs123** · 11-02-2011, 09:22 AM

Don't download, it doesn't have App World.

**Zwickliffe** · 11-02-2011, 09:23 AM

Mine is showing 228MB. Either it is a big one or they aren't doing differential updates.

**Second Gear Games** · 11-02-2011, 09:28 AM

App World is removed. Ouch!

**peter_betos** · 11-02-2011, 09:31 AM

That's awful. If we can only call HataX and have the appworld bar file backed-up.

**kyleheney** · 11-02-2011, 09:32 AM

Can anyone give details of the changes? I'm hesitant to download it without having AppWorld unless there are some noticeable fixes and/or changes.

Thanks

It sure would be nice if they gave us an update to 1.0.7.3312...

*sigh* that sure would be nice.

- BlackBerry WebWorks applications can now successfully call GPS
- Wi-Fi® profiles are now saved and no longer disappear during tablet reboots
- No App World

With one hand they giveth and the other they take away.

Do you need any more proof that RIM are completely out of touch with their user base? No doubt they had a huge number of downloads of 2.0 and for some reason think that its bad that end users are eager to get updated software so now they intentionally cripple the update.

Lets not mention that any dev now wanting to keep using 2.0 to develop the NDK now has to have their device crippled but hey devs would never use their tablet like ordinary people.

Is chinese input method included?

**Zwickliffe** · 11-02-2011, 10:08 AM

I don't know about you guys but app world still works here after the update...

Someone else reported on the dev forum that their AppWorld works also. I wonder where the no app world news came from?

**danield76** · 11-02-2011, 10:14 AM

Hold your horses

Just upgraded and Appworld is still there!

I haven't personally tried it but from previous reports, it said app world is missing.

Maybe what the previous poster did was wipe the device.

Well, it's for development. I'd say they are in touch with developers. Hence the ability to access the GPS. If I'm doing an HTML5 app, and wanted to access the GPS, I wouldn't be able to unless I update to this build. That's why it's a developer beta.

**rsxsniper** · 11-02-2011, 10:32 AM

bottomline, is app world removed or not? i dont want to fix something that is not broken

**peter_betos** · 11-02-2011, 10:33 AM

From John:

Hey,

Can you guys confirm that it isn't in one of the left/right application panes? Also, can you provide a PIN of a device that doesn't have App World?

Thanks,

John

You need to go to the thread if you want to provide your PIN.
