- Is there any possibility that we will eventually be able to control our music play,skip, prev, pause etc without actually viewing the playbook screen? This seems like it would be quite handy. for example, my playbook is in my bag or plugged into my speakers across the room. I dont want to have to stand up to see where abouts the cursor is I just wana click next or something. Make sense?02-21-12 02:41 PMLike 0
- Has anyone figured out how to control volume buttons yet? I'm listening to Slacker radio and would love to remote the volume controls.02-21-12 03:01 PMLike 0

- Nope, my Pearl does not have that button. It has a symbols button and then the delete/backspace button. Tried to scroll by holding the backspace button and rolling the trackpad, not working though. Any other ideas?02-21-12 04:30 PMLike 0

Did you try it with PBOS2.0? Some of the features no longer need the alt button to be pressed, check first post02-21-12 05:05 PMLike 0 -
Edit: I can scroll in a PDF document by pressing and holding my trackpad. This enables drag-lock mode. Haven't worked out how to scroll a webpage though!Last edited by pixieloulou; 02-21-12 at 05:44 PM.

On another note, OS2 and still no text messaging on the PB? I have an annoying app that converts texts to emails but then I'm getting 2 of every message, it's quite annoying. Is the PB planning on supporting this sometime soon?
I don't want to come across unhappy, I love all the new stuff and it goes great with my 9930 but i guess i'm more disappointed. Either that or impatient but I know the technology is out there, and I'm sick of waiting.Jeovex likes this.02-22-12 02:36 AMLike 1 - In the remote control app if it go to the text input screen and hit the bb menu button I have a whole set of options that look to be designed for a Windows PC. Such as Function Keys and the Windows Button.
So, if the remote app is suppose to control my PB(will be trying my ps3 tonight) why would it have those keys or how can I use them with my laptop now?02-22-12 08:26 AMLike 0 - No problem. Glad i could help.

Data charges might apply if you aren't on a Wi-Fi network while BlackBerry Bridge is connected.
If a Wi-Fi connection is not available while BlackBerry Bridge is connected, applications on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet can use your BlackBerry smartphone's mobile connection to access the Internet.
To avoid incurring data or roaming charges, make sure that you're connected to a Wi-Fi network on your tablet or smartphone before using applications on your tablet that use the Internet, such as the Browser.
If your BB isn't connected through WiFi then you are using your data plan. Whether you are charged for that or not isn't determined by RIM or Crackberry. It's your data plan.02-22-12 08:58 AMLike 0 - What the manual actually says is;

Android apps are ported apps that in a way "become" PlayBook Apps. So to answer your question, you can't switch between android apps since there technically are non, you won't even know you are using an android app. You can only switch between apps like normally.
THIS is the correct answerLast edited by Jeovex; 02-22-12 at 05:23 PM.

1. Using a program such as QuickLaunch, add an application entry and choose 'net_rim_bb_remote_control_app' as the program to launch.
2. Turn on bluetooth and pair with the device you wish to remote control.
3. Launch your new shortcut, you will receive the message stating that 'No paired blackberry playbook was found', you should see the bluetooth name of the remote device in the upper right-hand corner. Don't click OK, but press the escape / back button instead. You will receive a message asking if you wish to disconnect from whichever device, select 'cancel' and remote control should then work!
I've tried this successfully with an Android 3.2 tablet and a Windows 7 PC, the Android tablet worked fine over and over again, however, I found the Windows 7 PC to be finicky. The key is to check the top right hand corner of the remote control display to see if the device is connected before continuing.
