post should be up soon...
in the mean time
The BlackBerry PlayBook OS v1.0.8.4985 contains the following fixes and updates:
Updated version of Adobe® Flash® Player version 11.1 and Adobe AIR® 3.1
Daylight savings time updates for time zones in the regions of Latin America, Australia and Central America
Updated Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® software to help to improve connectivity
Fixed issues some users were experiencing with account payments in the BlackBerry App World™ storefront
Improved synching when restoring applications with BlackBerry Desktop Software
This update also includes a security update for Adobe Flash Player, as noted in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB-11-28, which addresses issues that can potentially affect any PC, tablet, or other device with an operating system that supports Adobe Flash.Posted 6 months ago #Post-Permalink -
Haven't noticed anything. Mostly ' under the hood' fixes.

Yeah - I also haven't noticed any material difference - but then I'm a general user - not a techo.

I hate this OS. I can't surf the web at all on wifi!
It will allow me to surf for 1-2mins then even though its connected, it will not load!
If that time I opened fb or app world, it will say unable to connect to internet! :'(Posted 6 months ago #Post-Permalink -
Weird, I've had no problem (crossing my fingers) yet. Didn't really even notice anything different.

Curious Terrence because I've even watched a Canadian NFC program on this new update.
Wonder if your Telco is the issue?

Hmm.. I'm not sure.. im using wireless N.. its fine on my other 2 playbooks using the OS2 beta and the un-updated OS.. Neither does my phone have an issue.. Looks like i have to wipe my device first and see..

Did 2 security wipe, after each wipe, I could not update.. Once at 43mb (54%), it will stop downloading.
Forced it to install os via the desktop manager and it worked, (27mb ota update)
But the issue still persists and calling the BlackBerry tech support is fruitile..

That's just odd. Did you check the BlackBerry forums? You are the only one that I've read it is occurring to. Maybe someone(s) on there have the same issues.
Sidenote[u]: If you have 3 Playbooks - I hate you and don't feel sorry for you if one isn't working right ;)

Is this the same PB you couldn't back up on? I haven't tried recently but I was still having problems up to 2 weeks ago on backing up my PB. It only allowed me to back up sections of it.
If you can't resolve this with BB Tech support (perhaps escalation up the chain would get you better help) I'm not sure how else you'll be able to fix it... Good luck!

Hey.
That PB has been disposed off carefully (sold) and i got myself a 64gb at a lower price.
A security wipe fixed the problem for the backing up though. It boiled down to corruption.
Looks like we dont have much of an option... :(

Did a search on the other site crackberry and it seems like only 2 others have the same unresolved issue.
I have lodged a formal support and the tech guy seemed to have given up and escalated this case. Well, if this beast isn't back up and running by DevCon, it seems like I will have to lug my laptop.. :(
PS: I have 3 playbooks at home. (one mine, two to my other sisters (two of them) each) Well, as mentioned previously, they were close to free because of the free accessory during the crazy fire sale in my country. I sold off their accessory as it wasnt needed and bought a cheap leather casing I reviewed earlier, so the cost of the Playbook was actually, just the cost of that casing!! :D
Will update soon..

So you're 2nd PB is giving you trouble now? Hmmm... I hope it does get resolve before DevCon for you.
I did three security wipes on my PB but haven't tried backing it up yet. Last time I did that, I was able to back up but after a while it wouldn't allow it. The only reason I can think of its one of my apps is causing some issues but I don't want to wipe out my apps to resolve it... it's not too big an issue as most of the files on the PB are on my computer as well so I just swap files back and forth...
