Sonos too big for your budget? Here's how to get the same experience with your BlackBerry

Posted by Adam Zeis on 3 Jan 2013 12:53 pm
I've been looking at picking up a Sonos system for my house for quite a while now, but just to get started it's at least a $350 investment. Having kids and a mortgage kind of limits the amount of toys I can buy now (I have to be more selective at least) so I've always put it on the back burner until I have a bigger slush fund to go all out. In the meantime, I've found a great setup that works...

How to delete applications from BlackBerry App World

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 Oct 2012 11:00 am
The latest version of BlackBerry App World (4.0.0.55) brings along a feature that many users have been waiting quite a while for. In addition to a handful of updates, you now have the ability to remove applications from your My World list in BlackBerry App World. This is great news since, if you're like me, you have probably loaded up the list with plenty of apps you no longer have a use for....

Hands on with the new Android Player in PlayBook OS 2.1

Posted by DJ Reyes on 4 Oct 2012 1:46 pm
One of the cool things from PlayBook OS 2.0 was that it brought about the ability to run Android apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook. However, it got quite annoying if you needed to run a few Android ported apps at the same time as they would all run in the same window, making it hard for you to jump between them. With BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1 dropping yesterday, the update now allows for...

Quick Tip: Take a screenshot before you reload or upgrade your OS - Just in case!

Posted by Adam Zeis on 7 Sep 2012 11:50 am
Here's a fun tip from the Adam arsenal. One thing that I always do before upgrading or reloading my BlackBerry OS is take a screencap of all my screens and folders. Why? Just in case something happens and I have to start over again. I have OCD when it comes to my home screen and icon setup, so I always want things just the way I like them. Having a screencap saved to your memory card (don't...

How to save a contact to your SIM phone book

Posted by Adam Zeis on 4 Sep 2012 12:27 pm
If you're like me and switch devices a lot, you may find yourself losing contacts in your address book from time to time. This doesn't happen as much as it used to thanks to the many sync options on BlackBerry however. If you want to be sure you carry your contacts along when you switch devices, simply save them to your SIM card and they'll always be with you. Unfortunately there is no decent...
