How to use Google two-step authentication on BlackBerry 10

Posted by Simon Sage on 15 Feb 2013 4:01 pm
OS 7 BlackBerry devices have a dedicated two-step authentication app built for Gmail, but there’s no such luck on BlackBerry 10. That doesn’t mean you can’t leverage the added security measures Google has to offer, though. Just as with many other apps on BB10, you can still get to what you need but it just takes a bit of added effort. Not to worry - we'll help you sort it out in no time at all...

How to use Gmail 2-step verification with your BlackBerry

Posted by Adam Zeis on 7 Aug 2012 10:27 am
Yesterday a crazy story of how Wired's Mat Honan got hacked was flying around the net. If you haven't yet read the post, you really should. It's a real eye-opener and made me think twice three times about my own passwords and security. One thing I jumped on that I never used in the past is Gmail's 2-step verification. This feature gives your Gmail account added security by requiring a code to...

How to easily delete multiple Gmail calendars off your BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Kerri Neill on 27 May 2012 2:15 pm
Back in February, I showed you how to add multiple Gmail calendars to your BlackBerry PlayBook. I've gotten a few requests since then on how to remove them so I thought I'd share the solution. The process itself actually only takes a minute or two and is quite easy. If you do not still have the User Agent Switcher Add-On installed on your computer, you'll need to reinstall it to make this...

How to sync multiple Gmail calendars on your BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Kerri Neill on 23 Feb 2012 1:46 pm
The release of OS 2.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook and its integrated calendar is a dream come true for me. It's one of the features I use the most on my BlackBerry Bold 9930 and it was sorely missed on my PlayBook. Now that it's available, a lot of us are trying to figure out how to make it do exactly as we'd like. Over in our CrackBerry forums some helpful users found a way to sync multiple...

Use your BlackBerry to login to Gmail account from an unsecure computer

Update: DOH! Well that was quick! It looks like this was just an "experiment" on Google's part, if you go to the page you now get the following message: Hi there - thanks for your interest in our phone-based login experiment. While we have concluded this particular experiment, we constantly experiment with new and more secure authentication mechanisms. Stay tuned for something even better...

Google deprecating native GMail app for BlackBerry as of November 22

Posted by Bla1ze on 8 Nov 2011 6:06 pm
While most people likely just set up their GMail on their BlackBerry directly, Google does offer their own native app for accessing GMail on BlackBerry smartphones. Adam, I know used to use it a lot but as Phil over at Android Central noticed -- Google has now deprecated the GMail app for BlackBerry. Yes, you can still get GMail on your BlackBerry -- this is strictly the app, that you download...

Using advanced Gmail features for Messages in BlackBerry OS 7

Posted by Adam Zeis on 5 Sep 2011 12:39 pm
Before BlackBerry OS 7, advanced Gmail features were only available in individual messages inboxes (not the combined Messages inbox) using the Enhanced Gmail plugin. The plugin added features such as Report Spam, Add Star, Apply Label and Archive. With BlackBerry 7 these features are brought to the combined messages inbox as well. This is a welcome addition to many BlackBerry users (myself...

Gmail mobile now smooth rolling on the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by IsaacKendall on 17 Aug 2011 9:05 am
Last week Google rolled out an update to the Gmail mobile site making it much more friendly for the BlackBerry PlayBook.  The new update now allows for pull down to refresh. Personally I like to use the Gmail mobile site rather than via BlackBerry Bridge on my PlayBook, so this a welcome improvement to Gmail.  I am still anxiously awaiting the native email client for the PlayBook but for...

Gmail mobile site now in HTML5

Posted by Joseph Holder on 15 Apr 2011 10:02 am
I'll admit it. I'm an avid Gmail user, but I don't use the mobile site. There's too much clicking. And waiting. And clicking. It's entirely too much like the WAP sites of yesteryear, you remember. Back when SMS texting was the brand new thing. I don't use the mobile Gmail site. Until today. Today, I discovered the HTML5 version of Gmail on my OS6 BlackBerry. The new version of the...
