#BBM for Android and iPhone Update: Confirms Not Coming For At Least Another Week.


pihak blackberry ternyata benar-benar tidak siap dengan rencana peluncuran #bbm lintas platform buat perangkat ios dan android, setelah tanggal 21 kemarin menunda-nunda rilis aplikasi resmi bbm for android saat ini bahkan menarik kembali aplikasi resmi bbm for iphone yang sudah diposting di apple apps store, sekarang bahkan ada pernyataan resmi dari head of bbm blackberry (andrew bocking) yang menyatakan aplikasi messenger bbm listas platform tersebut belum tentu rilis resmi minggu minggu ini.

aplikasi bbm for iphone meskipun sudah ditarik dari apple app store tetapi pemilik iphone masih bisa menggunakan aplikasi tersebut buat chatting (meskipun juga masih ada bugs) tetapi masih beruntung dibanding pengguna android yang belum mencicipi aplikasi resmi bbm for android (meskipun pernah beredar di internet versi bocorannya).

andrew bocking sebagai head of bbm bahkan menyalahkan pengguna android yang menggunakan aplikasi non resmi tersebut yang menyebabkan peningkatan pesat jumlah pesan bbm dan membuat sistem bbm jadi bermasalah. seperti kita ketahui, mendekati rilis resmi bbm for android ada sekitar 1,1 juta pengguna android yang mendownload dan menggunakan aplikasi non resmi tersebut dan blackberry tak bisa memblokirnya sampai akhirnya menunda semua peluncuran aplikasi bbm for android maupun iphone.

berikut rilis resmi dari head of bbm blackberry andrew bocking yang diposting di blog resmi blackberry: 

Hi Android and iPhone users,  This is Andrew Bocking, head of BBM at BlackBerry. As a follow up to our first blog post on Saturday, I want to take a moment to provide you with an update on the rollout of BBM on Android and iPhone.  
Last week, an unreleased, older version of the BBM for Android app was posted on numerous file sharing sites. We were aware of an issue with this unreleased version of the BBM for Android app. This older version resulted in volumes of data traffic orders of magnitude higher than normal for each active user and impacted the system in abnormal ways. The version we were planning to release on Saturday addressed these issues, however we could not block users of the unreleased version if we went ahead with the launch.   
We attempted to address the problems caused by the unreleased version throughout the day on Saturday, but as active users of the unreleased app neared a million – and accelerated – it became clear that the only way to address the issue was to pause the rollout for both Android and iPhone.   
The team is now focused on adjusting the system to completely block this unreleased version of the Android app when we go live with the official BBM for Android app. We are also making sure that the system is reinforced to handle this kind of scenario in the future. While this may sound like a simple task – it’s not. This will take some time and I do not anticipate launching this week.  
Thank you for your patience while we take the time needed to deliver the experience you expect from BBM. We will continue to provide you with updates here on InsideBlackBerry.com and through @BBM on Twitter. We will notify everyone who has pre-registered on BBM.com when BBM is available on Android and iPhone.  
Andrew Bocking, EVP, BBM

How To Download #BBM App for Android



dari pengumuman resmi blackberry rentang kehadiran bbm for android mengalami menundaan, rencana semula rilis di 21 september tetapi sampai saat ditulis belum rilis di google play store. berbeda dengan aplikasi bbm for iphone yang lancar rilis di app store bahkan sebelum tanggal 22 september. (liat preview bbm for iphone di sini).

saat ini banyak pengguna android yang mendownload file apk (bbm for android) dari sumber unofficial dan dicoba berhasil masuk juga serta dapat digunakan chatting. tetapi bagi yang menginginkan aplikasi official harap bersabar dahulu karena di google play store belum tersedia (saat blog ini ditulis), yang ada sekarang banyak sekali aplikasi sampah yang sebenarnya bukan dari blackberry. biar gak salah download pantengin link google play store yang ada di sini https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=BlackBerry+Limited (saat ini belum ada aplikasi bbm for android, hanya ada 3 aplikasi lain milik blackberry). sedangkan situs lain yang bisa dikunjungi adalan www.BBM.com.

update di tanggal 22 september 2013, selain blackberry menunda rilis bbm for android dengan alasan adanya aplikasi bbm for android unreleased yang sudah dipake lebih dari 1,1 juta user dan mengakibatkan masalah tehnis, blackberry juga menarik kembali aplikasi bbm for iphone yang sebelumnya sudah tersedia di app store. akibat dari penundaan tersebut, pengguna bbm for android sudah tidak dapat mengakses aplikasi bbm tersebut, berbeda dengan pengguna bbm for iphone yang masih bisa menggunakannya sampai saat ini meskipun link download di app store sudah dihapus.

menurut press release blackberry, bbm for android hanya tersedia bagi perangkat dengan os ice cream sandwich dan jelly bean (android 4.x), tetapi kita coba aja dengan os yang lainnya. silahkan tunggu update di sini atau di twitter @tamtomo2 serta nanti akan ditulis preview-nya.

update ttg bbm for android:

update from blackberry blog: 
Prior to launching BBM for Android, an unreleased version of the BBM for Android app was posted online. The interest and enthusiasm we have seen already – more than 1.1 million active users in the first 8 hours without even launching the official Android app – is incredible. Consequently, this unreleased version caused issues, which we have attempted to address throughout the day.

Our teams continue to work around the clock to bring BBM to Android and iPhone, but only when it’s ready and we know it will live up to your expectations of BBM. We are pausing the global roll-out of BBM for Android and iPhone. Customers who have already downloaded BBM for iPhone will be able to continue to use BBM. The unreleased Android app will be disabled, and customers who downloaded it should visit www.BBM.com to register for updates on official BBM for Android availability.

As soon as we are able, we will begin a staggered country roll-out of BBM for Android and continue the roll-out of BBM for iPhone. Please follow @BBM on Twitter for the latest updates and go to www.BBM.com to sign-up for updates about BBM for Android and iPhone. These issues have not impacted BBM service for BlackBerry.

BBM Available for Android on September 21 and iPhone on September 22



Instant mobile to mobile messaging with privacy and control you can count on, that lets you know that your message is read, is a free download for Android and iPhone customers. 

WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 18, 2013) - BBM™ - the iconic mobile social network - will begin rolling out for Android™ and iPhone® customers around the world from September 21. Previously exclusive to BlackBerry® (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSX:BB) smartphones, BBM will be available as a free download in Google Play™ and the App Store(SM). Customers will be able to download BBM by visiting www.BBM.com from their smartphone browser.

BBM gives you a private social network for active, real conversations. 

 - It's immediate. BBM is always on so you are always connected. And because messages on BBM are typically delivered and read within seconds, it's the closest thing to a live conversation.
- You trust it. BBM always tells you that messages are delivered and read. BBM conversations come alive on a private network you can count on.
- You control it. BBM allows you to choose your contacts and how you share your information. BBM uses a PIN so you don't have to give anyone your phone number or email address.

"BBM is a very engaging messaging service that is simple to use, easy to personalize and has an immediacy that is necessary for mobile communications," said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry. "With more than a billion Android, iOS, and BlackBerry smartphones in the market, and no dominant mobile messaging platform, this is absolutely the right time to bring BBM to Android and iPhone customers."

BBM for Android and iPhone features: 

 BBM Chat - Enjoy real, immediate conversations with friends on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Not only does BBM let you know that your message has been delivered and read, it also shows you that your friend is responding to the message.

More than chat - With BBM you can share files on your phone such as photos and voice notes, all in an instant.

Keep your group in the loop - Multi-person chats are a great way to invite contacts to chat together. BBM Groups lets you invite up to 30 friends to chat together, and go a step further than multi-chat by sharing photos and schedules. And, with Broadcast Message, you can send a message out to all your BBM contacts at once.

Post Updates and stay in the know - BBM lets you post a personal message, profile picture and your current status, and lets your contacts know instantly in Updates.

Your unique PIN - Every BBM user has a unique PIN that maintains your privacy, so you don't have to give out your phone number or email address to a new or casual contact.

BBM will be available as a free download for Android smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Android 4.x) beginning at 7AM EDT on September 21. BBM for iPhones running iOS 6 and iOS 7 will become available for each market on the App Store schedule of 12:01 AM local time on September 22. For more information, or to download BBM for Android or iPhone, visit www.BBM.com.

BBM will continue to evolve quickly. Later this year, BBM Channels will provide a forum for active, real conversations between you and the people, brands, celebrities, artists, service providers, communities and more, that matter to you. By creating a Channel, individuals and brands can engage their friends and communities in conversations sparked by their thoughts, ideas and passions.

Subscribing to a Channel will let you join conversations with people who share your interests. In addition, BBM Video calling and BBM Voice calling are planned for availability for Android and iPhone in a future version.

How To Prepare Your #iOS 6 Device for Apple’s iOS 7 Update



buat yang mau update iOS terbaru buat perangkat iphone/ ipad dan ipod touch-nya bisa baca dulu tips ini sebelum melakukannya. update bisa melalu over the air (ota) langsung dari perangkat (settings > general > software update) atau bisa juga melakukan update melalui itunes di pc atau mac.

 silahkan baca dulu fitur apa yang terbaru di ios 7 di sini dan silahkan pelajari baik-baik... :)

hal yang pertama dilakukan buat update adalah cek terlebih dahulu device kita apakah bisa diupgrade softwarenya atau tidak, ios 7 hanya bisa digunakan di perangkat iphone 4/ 4/ 5, ipad 2/ 3/ 4, ipad mini dan ipod touch generasi 5. perlu dipikirkan juga update ke ios 7 dari ios 6 tak bisa kembali lagi alias downgrade, kalaupun masih ragu-ragu tunda dulu upgrade sambil liat-liat apakah ada masalah di ios 7 atau nunggu update terbaru lagi ios 7.

langkah beikutnya buat update adalah melihat kapasitas device kita apakah memenuhi kapasitas yang diinginkan karena ios 7 sendiri sebesar 665mb dan harus tersisa ruang sebesar 1gb. kemudian backup ke icloud dan atau lewat itunes ke komputer, salin juga koleksi foto-foto dan video serta shared file yang ada di device.

device camera roll:
- pindahin foto yang ada di camera roll on ke mac dengan cara buka aplikasi "os x imagecapture" dan salin (import all) semua foto.
- jika pake pc windows bisa melalui "windows explorer" setelah mengkoneksikan device lewat usb.
- setelah dipindahin foto yang ada di camera roll on bisa dihapus langsung, tergantung pilihan kita.

copy shared files:
- beberapa aplikasi ios memungkinkan untuk berbagi file melalui itunes, kalo punya file tersebut bisa dikopi terlebih dahulu via itunes agar aman.
- buka itunes, colokin device via usb, klik "apps" trus "file sharing" trus copy file ke lokal hard drive.

setelah update ios 7 selesai (melalui over the air di device atau lewat itunes di pc/ mac), kita bisa pilih buat restore dari backup sebelumnya. beberapa aplikasi harus diupdate juga mengikuti ios terbaru tersebut karena tak semua aplikasi didukung ios 7 ini. update semua aplikasi terbaru bisa melalui itunes dan sebaiknya menggunakan jaringan wifi biar cepet. berikut yang harus diperhatikan:

- hapus aplikasi yang tidak terpakai lagi
- update aplikasi yang mendukung ios7 melalui itunes di device atau pc/ mac
- check versi terbaru itunes yang digunakan di pc/ mac

setelah semua dilakukan silahkan dicoba semua aplikasi yang ada...

New Features of Path 3.2: Private Sharing, Inner Circle, and Premium



Path hari mengumumkan kerjasama dengan Deutsche Telekom dan mengumumkan kehadiran Path 3.2 dengan fitur baru Private Sharing, Inner Circle dan Akun Premium.

Dengan fitur Private Sharing dan Inner Circle tersebut, pengguna Path bisa berbagi dengan lingkungan terbatas, sebelumnya sudah ada fitur "Private" tetapi hanya kita sendiri yang melihat tetapi di Path 3.2 bisa diatur temen-teman yang akan dipilih buat melihat postingan moments “just between us” kita.

Fitur lain adalah premium membership, dengan membayar $ 4.99 per 3 bulan (iOS), $ 1.99 per 1 bulan (Android) atau $14.99 per 12 bulan (iOS & Android), pengguna dapat akses gratis unlimited stiker, kamera filter, shop items dan bebas iklan di Path.

Berikut tips dari blog Path tentang fitur barunya:

Private Sharing

Some moments are important simply because of who you’re with, or who they remind you of. Private sharing allows you to share with one or any number of friends on an ad hoc, moment by moment basis. Private sharing has been a top feature request of our users since the beginning of Path, and we’re so excited to enable you to share inside jokes and old memories with those who would appreciate them most.

After capturing a moment, tap the lock on the sharing screen. Keep the moment private for your eyes only, or tap the prompt to select friends to share it with. Your friends will know if they have been shared in a private moment by the lock in place of the usual seen-it smile. By looking at the moment’s seen-its, your friends will also be able to tell who else has been included.



Inner Circle

Inner Circle makes it easy to share instantly with those closest to you. And it’s completely unique to you. You may define it as your immediate family. Your oldest childhood friends. Your teammates. Your inseparable coworkers. Just the two of you.

Select friends for your Inner Circle by tapping the stars next to their names in the Friends List. While in the sharing screen, tap the star to share with those most important, instantly. Your friends will know that they are in your Inner Circle by the star in the top corner of the moment.


Premium

We introduced stickers to messaging and then to comments for you to use to express yourself, with characters that instantly say a thousand words. We designed all of our photo filters in-house to give you some of the coolest effects available. Path Premium users will have immediate and unlimited access to everything in the Shop, while supporting our vision to remain a completely ad-free network.

Along with unlimited access to all Path-exclusive filters and stickers in the Shop, Premium users will also get early access to new Shop items. Premium is available for purchase as an annual subscription on iOS and Android for $14.99; a 1-month subscription is available for $1.99 on Android or a 3-month subscription on iOS for $4.99.
