BlackBerry PlayBook OS v1.0.8.4985 now available

I hear that Rosco is a handsome fella

Sweet! Thank you RIM!

Just in time for the Playbook sales

Hopefully this will fix the annoying wifi connectivity issues I'm having

Webmail and video camera issues solved?

Should you be saying thanks for the screen shot or, gracias?

Well it's nice to see something before February. Tethered and downloading at work now.

A2DP solution yet?

Anybody know if A2DP works now and whether WPS connectivity works solid now?

Downloading V. 1.0.8.4985 at this instant. Keep the updates coming RIM!

Wow! They kept a promise. Oh, right, Leapfrog Jim is out of the country. Good work Mike, Scott, everybody else.

Thanks for not forgetting about us.

downloaded, no auto correct :(

checked Shop Blackberry all Playbooks sold out

i am getting error downloading ??

no problems on my end

Bold 9900 . . .T-Mobile . . .update plz . . .gezz . . .everything will get an update twice before I do . . .

No problem downloading... Playbook rebooted with no issue...

All apps working like before...

Did not fix the Podcast not downloading new episodes issue...

I just want to be able to see my emails when bridged and this did not fix. Any thoughts?

no issues, wonder what other changes exist for 95 mb there has to be more.

good this is another proof rim is firmly behind playbook. why would rim otherwise release updates ? I have strong feeling that this stock is all about new revision of playbook coming out in feb with new packaging os2 installed rtc

:O can i get it on my curve 8900

Downloaded and installed with no issues

NO A2DP with my BT headphones :(

Downloaded and rebooted ,no problems. Did not see much changes as stated.
Sux ..still no A2DP ..is it cos they having problems putting this on as result of interference with the BT bridge function? Hope they can solve this by OS 2.0.

I downloaded this update without really thinking about it. Now, I cannot connect to my wi-fi network. Since the wi-fi network didn't change, and my other devices can connect just fine, I have to assume the update to the playbook somehow messed up the playbook's wi-fi connection. Has anyone else experienced this issue after the update, and if so, how was it corrected? I have tried logging in manually, and it still won't allow me to connect. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

After too many attempts, it now says " This configuration has been disabled. Too many failed attempts...:(

Downloaded and rebooted with no problems as well.

This thing is a Ferrari. I love my new Playbook!

Thanks RIM!

Okay, still will not connect. Is there any way to remove the update, outside of wiping the device and starting fresh?

Good to see Adobe Flash has been updated, because the Flash performance on OS 2 which has Flash 11 is noticeably faster, especially with flash games..

Oh look, advanced airplane mode...

After update, I still can't backup my PB. Before I could at least back up my media... now I can backup nothing...

I am not giving up hope...

just upgraded hopefully the browser crashing issue is resolved!

Thank you for the update RIM, but my wireless connection still reports that I am at 11mbps and that I am on g when i have 802.11n.

Day Light Savings is still not working. Sydney +10, has the correct time in the settings page, wrong time on the home screen bar.

A bit of testing RIM? Cheers.

Still not worth downgrading from the Developer Beta 2.0 OS. Even for a non developer.

Like the new keyboard style better.
Like the ability to create folders.
Like the new icon setup and larger carousel better.
Like that Bridge and WiFi seem to work much faster.
Like the aditional options and hints of what is coming based on unused options.
Like being able ton run Android Apps. (but look forward to native ones).

Dont like that video chat doesnt work.

Love that RIM didnt completely stop updating both the Beta and the Retail OS's.

Hope everyone is enjoying their PlayBooks.

Did a security wipe, and that allowed me to access my wifi network, but now won't let me pick a country and language for the lic agreement... RIM, I love you, but this is somewhat dissapointing.

ok got it install and the bridge is not working.... :S heeeelp please....

Why can't they update the Adobe Reader with a little more than just base functionality. So annoying. Is it that difficult?

I'm still having problems in appworld payment, when I try to change my credit card it keeps saying me theres a credit card authorization error (error id 12000). Any help? PLEASE!!

My update size is 97mb. I got more size than the most?

I also notice auto correct in documents to go, is that new?

hello I have a blacberry playbook I live in Senegal but I can not access appworld that is installed on the playbook I received a message telling me that appworl is not available in your country I am looking for another way to download or a solution to my problem is urgent. thank you

It sucks. I want back my old OS. I can't figure out how this made it past acceptance testing. My wifi has become so unstable it is ridiculous. In the last 10 minutes it has dropped more than 6 times.

My router is dual band wireless n and everything else on it that's n-capable is at n, except this.

I just bought two Viewsonic 7e android tabs for my kids. They work fine. I saw my son playing with an active background of the spinning planet Vulcan. My professional grade tablet seems so ridiculous at the moment.

Edit: it dropped 5 times while typing this and twice while I was adding this edit. And Crackberry, PLEASE FIX THE BLASTED JAVA SCRIPT OR WHATEVER THAT MAKES THE KEYBOARD DISAPPEAR WHILE YOU ARE TYPING!!! JEEZ!!!

how to update when appsworld are not available in your country ?

Lol, good entertainment this thread :) My PB works great, what r some of you guy's smoking? ;)

i was just wondering how big is the download and how long does it take if its tethered to my Torch?

BlackBerry Torch 9860 and PlayBook

Notifications still don't work. Still says I have new emails and I don't.

"Fixed issues some users were experiencing with account payments in the BlackBerry App World™ storefront"

Oh, thank God! I hope the update will solve it for the international customers.

Kinda wish we have a big PB sale here but oh well, I'm happy with my PB so far :)

EDIT: Hmph, seems like it's still not solved. I keep getting error 9300 (PayPal) or 11400 (credit card). Darn it RIM :(

Please read the list of bug fixes before complaining that things like autocorrect, A2DP, and other issues haven't been fixed.

I hope they get rid of the checkers with 2.0 at least chenge it to something nicer.

Lovin it

Well this is welcome. I just downgraded from OS2.0 BETA yesterday. Will update soonest.

After downgrading, though, I realise how much of an improvement the 2.0 UI is. The huge pretentious keyboard of 1.0.7 is awful. Folders are a very useful tool and the plethora of Android apps really made my life a lot easier in 2.0.

The only reason I downgraded was the camera problems - 2.0 has focus issues - and browser performance. In 2.0 my browser constantly crashed if ANY Android app was open.

Now I'll patiently wait for the official release in February, with my 1.0.8 in tow.

:(

I'm having issues with my games after installing the update. I noticed it first with tank recon 3d that I purchased right before the upgrade. It really became obvious when I tried to play modern combat 2 online. The game would lock up for a fraction of a second every few seconds. It was working fine before the update. I went back and checked...dead space has the same issue and modern combat has the issue in single player mode as well. I did a couple of restarts. No change. I just deleted and reinstalled modern combat 2 to see if that makes a difference...

Comwave ePhone is broken on this OS build as the microphone and camera crashes the App. Other flash based websites with camera and mic have stopped working as well. No ETA. Seems like a Adobe Flash security issue in this version.

But I had to delete my wifi profiles and all bridged phones and reset them up. I never had to do that on any previous update.

I have noticed I can now connect to the N wifi profile of my router. Before it was only the G.

Updated fine, no issues so far, haven't tried Bridge yet but rarely use it.

Updated fine for me. No issues here. Wifi and Bridge work perfect.

i have 2.0, lol

just sayin' is all

i can't wait until rim fixes the one thing that bugs me:

how it takes a million years to download 400MB's of data from app world, even if my playbook is practically attached to a wifi router, seriously, i could duct tape my playbook to the router, drive around for a week, come back, and it will be at 144MB's out of 400MB's, it makes me want to yell stuff at strangers, but i won't really do that, just sayin'

oh, and how i can't even load app world over any connection except for wifi and / or mobile hotspot - which i have neither, lol, at least until my 9810 gets 7.1 with mobile hotspot

app world won't connect using "internet tethering" or "blackberry bridge" lol

i know it's not rim's fault how i refuse to subscribe to a landline, but c'man already, i can use app world over my good buddy's android phone, because it has MOBILE HOTSPOT, whereas, me - mr. blackberry die hard - sitting here all bummed out because i can't do with my playbook what my friends android phone can do?!?!?!?! and i use blackberry 7 9810!!!!!!!! like, what? it is like a slap in the face, well, maybe not quite, but still...

okay buck - deep breath - remember, "you love blackberry" - yes, i guess i have no choice except to be patient, if there is one topic or virtue rim has taught me about since jumping aboard, it is patience, tons and tons of patience

peace

Yea, I saw it was mentioned earlier...My Podcast doesnt update. Everything else is working fine at this time.

is there any way i can remove os 2.0 beta from my playbook and install this ?

i want to go back to version 1.06, where internet of WIFI worked (even after deleting and recreating the wifi connection), Why Rim WHYYYY, didn't you learned anything ?

Update went fine, but didnt fix my appworld problem. (which effects my phone now as well I found out)

Does anybody know if you can transfer media or files between the phone and the PB?

yes you can move files between pb and phone.... via blackberry bridge and a file browser which supports reading sd cards via bridge....

I notice app world is much faster now - excellent

Updated and all seems to be working perfectly! Can't wait for BBX 2.0!!

How about auto cap and spell check. Dammm rimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Significantly improved connection between Playbook and my bold 9900. The speed/connection is so much better.

Updated 11/24/2011 with no errors or issues. The wifi connections are quick and browsing is actually a bit faster.

btw anyone using a different browser on the playbook?

While it's great to see new updates they STILL haven't fixed the single largest bug!!
As always the browser still hangs at around 50-70% of page load on most of my site visits. Clearing all data and history etc fixes it for about 5 minutes and then the hangs return.

Over 3 OS updates and this huge bug still hasn't been fixed! Drives me mad. If the OS 2.0 doesn't fix this and there's no android browser apps that we can use I may as well sell my playbook and get an android tablet - and just be stuck with their ugly OS, but hey at least it would work!

BLACKBERRY - FIX THE DAMN BROWSER!!

Bluetooth connectivity is not improved. Bluetooth keyboards still randomly disconnect and reconnect. Sorry, RIM, fail on that one.

I don't think the timezone issue in Australia was fixed My pb still shows the wrong time although the alarm clock app shows the correct time. Since i use the clock app just manually changing the time is not the answer.

Music player stops playing music when browser plays a sound (ie. fbchat)

The on line Flash player of Sirius Radio still doesn't work with this update. Gee :(
