I'm not trolling. That's the first thing I saw after opening my app world after the update. And there was nothing next to featured. I kept on swiping to the right and the list of icons kept on increasing. However, when I had been in there for a while, it just froze and then I took a screen shot and closed the app world. Next time I opened the app world, it was gone.08-03-12 01:49 PMLike 0 - Time to dust off the Playbook and run this up the flagpole... Nope. Still the same.
In all fairness, though, I did manage to knit another sweater while I waited for this dinosaur to boot.
And, OMG, I decided to look at App World after it booted and clicked on "Connect to the London 2012 Summer Olympics". Really? Sorry, click.....08-03-12 01:58 PMLike 0 - Look, the PlayBook is a magnificent piece of hardware, top notch. The OS and the company? Meh, not s'hot. It would be a royal shame if hardware this robust (it feels like I could drive nails with it) became obsolete due to corporate incompetence and failed software development. My "wet dream" (never gonna happen) would be for Apple to port iOS to it after RIM bites the big one.08-03-12 02:22 PMLike 0
- @VKurtB don't think that'll happen. Give it time.
Edit: bless the hackers who DO get iOS on the playbook and other tablets. that would shock apple like it did when OS 7, 8 and 9 got ported to the PC... Days before it got blogged and taken out.
The playbook is amazingly powerful!08-03-12 02:29 PMLike 0 -

- It is very strange. The download proceeds to 100% and then appears to be moving to what I assume is a restart screen. However, it then says the update was interrupted and to retry. I've tried five times and the same thing happens every time. It can't be the internet connection so what is going on?08-03-12 04:09 PMLike 0

My battery was really draining fast yesterday. I was seeing Power usage over 5W, doing the same thing that usually pushes it into the 3-4W range. I shut it down, let it charge for a while and after starting it up again, my battery is much closer to normal.Last edited by TheScionicMan; 08-03-12 at 04:34 PM.

Prior the update I would often get prompted for the IMAP password and I'd type it in and it would work. But as often as I have tried since the update, it will not authenticate. I did a hard reboot twice and a cold start once.
I deleted the Rogers account and was left with Hotmail. I then got PIM errors. I deleted Hotmail too and did a 3-button restart. I recreated Hotmail and that worked. But I still have issues with IMAP with Rogers Yahoo. It will not authenticate.
EDIT: As soon as I submitted this post, it just starting working.08-03-12 05:32 PMLike 0 - It is very strange.

- I haven't been able to get that warning no matter how many apps I have open. Had 9 open before some of them just started closing out due to no free RAM. Have you restarted or hard reset your Playbook recently?Apelles123 likes this.08-03-12 06:16 PMLike 1
- I have the current one right now. And I didn't even realize that it was the older version. It was just very odd that it showed the old version.08-03-12 06:42 PMLike 0
- I have not been shy to give rim grief where deseved, and that means more than a few times. But fair is fair and praise must also been given where due. I've noticed that my browser is running significantly faster with the update (and add ons removed when possible). There is still much to be fixed (email sufolders) but i do regard this as a significant step toward improving the PB's usability.08-03-12 06:49 PMLike 0

- The browser keeps on restarting, possibly due to a very weak wifi sgnal. For a while the browser loads the page, it remains in'loading' stage, and then the browser just shuts down. Anyone else experiencing it? I did the hard reset, etc. A couple of times already.also removed and renewed the wifi connection.08-03-12 07:32 PMLike 0

- Same here. I find it so strange (frustrating actually) that some devices work better than others do.
Is this a common trait of too many manufacturing plants? Builds/ batches that are perfect, and others that arent ?
My two biggest gripes do date:
Pb owners who say their magellan app works flawlessly. Mine has so many bugs the dev gave up on helping me fix mine.
And then theres this native email app *sigh* signed in the day 2.0 got released, and from the day after, havent been able to since. On both PB's in my household.
Must admit though, factory reset is the only thing i havent had the chance to. Then again...it only worked for some !08-03-12 08:44 PMLike 0
