A look at the native clock app on BlackBerry 10

Posted by Adam Zeis on 15 Jan 2013 8:39 am
    The native clock app on BlackBerry 10 brings along many of the same features we've seen on BlackBerry in the past. There will be a clock mode with world clocks, stopwatch, timer and alarm. We've seen a bit on the clock in the past, and the reason I love it on BlackBerry 10 is because it's one of the native apps that you'll most likely use every day but won't even have to think about it....

A quick look at the BlackBerry 10 clock and compass

Posted by Adam Zeis on 29 Oct 2012 10:38 am
We've seen various parts of the BlackBerry 10 OS for a while now, but we haven't really had a great look at some of the core apps. Two of those apps, the clock and compass, were recently caught on a quick video. It's less than a minute but it packs in a good amount of info. I love how setting the alarm works in the new clock app just by dragging around the dial (we've seen this a bit before...

Ten things my BlackBerry smartphone has replaced

Posted by Adam Zeis on 12 Oct 2012 1:15 pm
I got into a conversation with my mother-in-law a few nights ago about how as kids, we used to play outside whenever we had the chance. Over the summer I'd be out right after breakfast, only coming home to eat dinner, then go back out as long as there was daylight. Not anymore. Kids (mine included) since inside all day watching TV or playing video games. Mine dreads the thought of having to...

Believe it or not, there was a time where I wasn't a theme addict. It used to be I preferred the standard look with just an array of different personal wallpapers. I've come a long way since then and one of the reasons why is because of theme developers like BB-Freaks. From releasing the first theme that supported the Torch 9850/60 to letting us view the day of the week on our home screen...

CrackBerry Asks: Do you wear a watch, or is your smartphone your timepiece?

Posted by IsaacKendall on 12 Aug 2011 11:39 am
  Do you still wear a watch or do you use your BlackBerry to tell the time?  The battery in my watch died about a year ago so I decided to just retire it to my nightstand drawer.  I'm never out of reach of my BlackBerry so it didn't really bother me nor was it something I spend much time dwelling on.  Last weekend I was up camping on an annual father-son trip we do with some other guys and...

animClock by Toysoft - A customizable analog clock, screensaver, and more!

It can be handy to see the clock on your BlackBerry while it's charging, whether it's at night or maybe during the day while you're at work and your device sits on your desk. Until now you were pretty much stuck with the standard analog or flip style clock that comes pre-loaded with your device's OS if you wanted to do this. Now there is a new app from Toysoft that allows you to customize the...

Quick Tip: Keyboard shortcuts in the native Clock application for BlackBerry

Posted by Adam Zeis on 29 Jun 2010 3:33 pm
Last week we did a quick post on the native Clock app for BlackBerry where I re-discovered the built-in timer. While there are tons of keyboard shortcuts through the BlackBerry OS in Messages, Media Player and Browser apps, I had no idea there were a few within the clock as well. In addition to pressing the trackball/trackpad to get to the set alarm screen, as HolderBBcb pointed out in the...

Quick TIp: Using the alarm, timer and stopwatch in the native clock application on your BlackBerry Smartphone

Posted by Adam Zeis on 23 Jun 2010 4:45 pm
I'm always amazed when I find something new buried in the native applications on my device. Over the weekend I was playing around with the clock and discovered the built-in timer for the first time (yes, seriously). I knew about the stopwatch function, but somehow never realized there was a timer there as well. I've used the alarm itself as a timer tons and tons of times, doing crazy math to get...
