- +1 for Cloud Explorer. Some have pointed out that it's a "third party" app and might be something to consider if using for security sensitive pursuits.?? Maybe so, but I've never heard of a validated case of such problems with it. Fwiw. I use it and dropbox a LOT for moving non-sensitive stuff around. Putin is perfectly welcome to read my thousands of control cabinet connection spreadsheets! Lol. Maybe time he wastes on that is time he's not devoting to other mischief? Lol.

Haven't tried 9900 & haven't asked coworkers but Opera Mini, in particular, was working SO nicely at CB just a few weeks ago. Now... simply won't load. Forced to Classic, for now. Maybe time to try CB App, again... lol.

LOL I love having the screen real-estate on my touch phones, but I still find the trackpad is quicker. (Note to self: Don't let them talk you into the KEYone.

- That's something I LOVE about my Passport clock "bedside mode:" The digits go red. Is "bedside mode," with user-selectable notifications (all off, phone only) too much to ask for..? In the Blandroid world, it seems that way.mushroom_daddy likes this.03-29-17 11:36 AMLike 1
- I prefer the Tapatalk app, but I did try the CB app the other day. It seemed to be running great till it completely locked up my 9900. I was suprised. I had to do a battery pull to get it reboot. I've never had that issue w/ Tapatalk. I did un-install several other apps I didn't see myself using around the same time, so maybe I should give the CB app another try.03-29-17 11:38 AMLike 0

Speaking of which, I really need to get at the Bold without BIS thread again. It needs some updating.

My point: The removable battery, the optical trackpad, the physical kb, the emphasis on business utility and privacy instead of self-entertainment -- all those things were "reasons to choose BlackBerry," and all those things have been pushed aside in the rush to imitate.idssteve and Berry Happy 2 like this.03-29-17 11:50 AMLike 2 - Anyone else try accessing CB forums thru native browser or Opera?

Had unintentionally removed "subscription" while swiping away email notification on the Classic.
You will need to unsubscribe and subscribe again ( the thread ) to enable notifications.
( through the app or website )03-29-17 01:13 PMLike 0 - I just did that, I had to use the app on my Priv because there's no unsubscribe option in the CB app.03-29-17 01:18 PMLike 0

In fact, as things turned out, the REAL innovation of optical trackpad got abandoned in pursuit of mimicking Apple's innovation. Imo. Mimicry that did little to interest Apple customers while thoroughly alienating far too many LOYAL BB users. Imo.
Sitting here with D60 in right hand and Classic in left, I'm asking myself: What, precisely, does touch interface do better than, or even as well as, trackpad?? ???
Also strange that Blackberry never got successful with Android devices even though in my opinion, the Blackberry Androids have more interesting features, like the ability to be alerted if someone is using your camera to watch you, etc. You would think people might give a crap about important things such as this but alas.

The notification possibilities are endless in BBOS when you delve further into the sound Notif settings.
One thing I don't care for is when changing the sound settings between say.....High Ring Volume to Medium Ring Volume, it then changes the tones even if they are set for a specific contact on the 9900. But of course it is no biggie to modify the settings for each sound setting but I wish it was universal for that only.
I know, it's confusing

I routinely use the Tapatalk app to interact with the CB forums on my 9900. The CB forum app (built on an older version of Tapatalk) became rather troublesome, a couple months back, and started to lockup my 9900. I believe somebody else here experienced similar problems.
Tapatalk v.1.4.7.9 seems very reliable on my 990003-30-17 02:42 AMLike 0 - You can select 'Mobile' or 'Mobile Lite' versions of the CB website if trying access on a phone. That can help make for a lighter, faster experience. Personally, I find the CB website one of the worst to visit on the BB browser (even with BB10), its far too content rich, with numerous shades blocking the viewing experience – somewhat ironic when you think about it.

- Miracles never cease. Opera Mini on 9930 is back to good on CB! I've changed NOthng. Just tried it, after a week of non-function, and here I am. Go figure. Perplexing but glad to have it back. Lack of explanation drives me NUTS, tho. Lol.mushroom_daddy likes this.03-30-17 02:57 AMLike 1
- YES! Especially on our trackpad 9900s! Truly wonderful to PRECISELY place pointer with trackpad, press "shift" once, then PRECISELY and quickly highlight desired text by scrolling trackpad. Up/down for entire lines. Left/right for a precise letter. Menu key then pops up copy-cut-paste options.
Or, depending on app, click trackpad to pop up editing options... All in one fluid motion. Most apps will select entire word by simply placing pointer some where on word and long press trackpad.
ALL of this in single hand with single thumb!
Classic also mimics much of this... Impressively smooth with latest OS but no match for fluidity of our 99s. SOMEone at BB clearly devoted a labor of love perfecting 9900 UI.03-30-17 03:20 AMLike 0 -
