Do You Miss The Data Arrows On Your New BlackBerry?

djghettoredneck — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:43:23 +0000

I have been using my Z10 since before it was released in the USA. I love my Z10 and the new QNX operating system that BlackBerry is built on. I can’t help myself from looking in the top right corner to see those little arrows showing my data sending and receiving when downloading, browsing or connected to my PlayBook via Bridge.

Let me know in my little poll if you too miss those little arrows

I Need “Headless” Apps on My BlackBerry Z10

djghettoredneck — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:49:35 +0000

I have really been missing my call blocking app and my text blocking app since I have been on my BlackBerry Z10. I sideloaded a couple Android ports then realized I don’t want an active frame, I just want the apps to run. They ones I tried didn’t work right either but if they had I would have deleted anyway. There are other apps that could benefit from being “Headless”, Wallpaper Changer Pro, That theme one that I haven’t tried and I can’t remember the name of, BeBuzz and I’m sure there are many others. This is just my opinion and I hope BlackBerry gets this option very soon. This is the only disappointing thing of the BlackBerry Z10. Thank you for reading my opinion.

Keep Track of and Pay Your Bills on Your BlackBerry Z10

I have had my BlackBerry Z10 for a month now and have been busy with setting up Spring and Summer activities for my club and getting to know my new mobile computing device that I have not had time to write any reviews or opinions.
My first review will be of the Pageonce app. I have used this app for years on my BlackBerry legacy devices and had to have it on my BlackBerry Z10.
Pageonce keeps me informed of new bill payments. I have my gas bill, electric bill, cable bill and my AT&T bill set up in it. As I was taking and editing screen shots, I thought to myself, “Why don’t I have my insurance in Here”. I will have after I get done with this post. I also have my pre paid Green Dot card in the app because that is what I use for all my online activity. If someone hacked me they won’t get much that way.
Pageonce app also let’s me pay all my bills right through the app. This app is an Android port. That made me hesitate trying it but I took a chance and found it runs very well. You almost wouldn’t know it was a port.
The app let’s you view your billing history and in my case, the activities of my Green Dot Card.
I say if you want to manage your bills and many other accounts go download this app, http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/25486875 ,
This is truly mobile computing and this post was easily written on my BlackBerry Z10.
Now for some screen shots. They have been edited to not show my information.

A review of the z10

Reblogged from My Side:

Steadily growing love, and not instant infatuation is what defines the z10 for a new user. Like with the girl you fall for, you have to peel off the layers she has around her to reach her heart and understand her, and feel the love that is just magical, the z10 slowly reveals to you its true potency. It is no one night stand for sure ;) …
