How to connect to and switch mobile networks using the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Bla1ze on 13 Aug 2012 3:32 pm

Out of the box, the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook is fairly easy to set-up. If you managed to place your SIM card in the device already, it will pretty much just take control over the situation and connect you right away. However, given that the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook also has HSPA+ built into it and LTE is not exactly everywhere at the moment, maybe you don't want it to constantly be search...

How to easily delete multiple Gmail calendars off your BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Kerri Neill on 27 May 2012 2:15 pm

Back in February, I showed you how to add multiple Gmail calendars to your BlackBerry PlayBook. I've gotten a few requests since then on how to remove them so I thought I'd share the solution. The process itself actually only takes a minute or two and is quite easy. If you do not still have the User Agent Switcher Add-On installed on your computer, you'll need to reinstall it to make this...

Sideload apps on your BlackBerry PlayBook without a PC using Localbar 2

Posted by Adam Zeis on 27 Mar 2012 12:30 pm

If your PC seems to be standing in the way of you sideloading apps to your BlackBerry PlayBook, Localbar 2 may be just what you're looking for. You may recall the original Localbar that popped up back in November. It worked like a champ, but RIM quickly found a fix and it was dead in the water. Localbar 2 brings back the same functionality -- letting you install BAR files directly to your...
