In Indonesia 18 September is the officially launching this BBM software for Android and iOS.

Our regional RIM chairman here said that BBM.apk will be available at PlayStore onSaturday 21 Sept,18.00,Jakarta time(GMT+7).
[Android General] Lalssa:
The best part will be if they didn't release it. ;)
[Android General] arturodelac:
Do you guys think the leaked version will start working tomorrow when the apk is submitted and bbm.com launches?
[Android General] Fas1h:
So BBM gets online on 21st at 7 AM EST? Thats still like approx 22 hours away :(
[Android General] crohit911:
Worst part- we don't even know when they'll be relaunching it.
[Android General] matapo:
It IS pretty bad....I'm personally not expecting a release today. Perhaps on Monday if we're lucky.Seems the Blackberry woes just never end. This is NOT good for the company at all!

The worst of it though is their Terrible Public Relations. If people just KNEW what was going on, things would be so much simpler for everyone. They've always had an issue with admitting mistakes and letting the public know what's going on...keeping quiet doesn't make the problem go away. It just aggravates already-frustrated fans, which just results in more contempt for the company/platform.

Right 'til the final days and the end of their 'consumer market', they still haven't learned their lesson :(
[Android General] dflombana:
Maybe they need to sell RIM and his presentation card is to say that a single app its present in more than a billion terminals.... Again let's cross our fingers and wait patiently

Guys - don't freak out. Yes, it doesn't look like we'll be getting BBM today but it's not the end of the world. Yes, they said it would be out on Saturday. But delays DO happen. Let's give them a little time to sort things out and just enjoy it when it does become available.

People stressing out about it and complaining here won't speed up the release. I know that it's frustrating but there's nothing we can do other than to wait. As soon as any of us hears or reads anything official, you can be sure of it that it's going to be posted here immediately :)

Just enjoy the rest of your weekend and come back here in a few hours to see if there's any progress :)

[Android General] InfamousOne:
In theory isn't the app we are using a leaked version of the one officially supposed to be launched 24+ hours ago

Anyways they say the can't release it because too many people are on the leaked version so what of they wanted to update the official app will they complain there are too many users

I smell the blame game

Just my 2 cents

[Android General] ghaleb88:
I really don't mind waiting for the app to launch, but something seems fishy... They had a trouble managing 1.1 million subscribers on a leaked version ? What was going to be their reaction if 2 or 4 million people downloaded the official application 24 hours ago?! On top of that, why did they pull out the iPhone app? I don't think that the leak was the real issue. I think that they did not expect this huge amount of people and load or maybe something happened to their hardware infrastructure. In either case, they should not blame the 1.1 million that wanted to use BBM through a leaked app!
[Android General] matapo:
Apparently the leaked version many of us were using was NOT the official, final version of the app- but rather an earlier release with quite a few bugs.

The system was being prepared for an exact time release and was not ready to accept over a million connections from 'buggy' apps before the time. Blackberry didn't have an issue with handling the number of downloads over android- they DID anticipate it. Many IOS users downloaded the app officially and had no issues whatsoever. But the leaked app that was being used before their systems were fully up for Android caused havoc for them.

Thus, what they had to do was find a way to disable all those leaked apps (without affecting User IDs), clear their systems, and get ready to try again.

We are waiting for the latter to happen.

The IOS version of the app was pulled because of the HUGE number of complaints blackberry received from Android fans, stating that there was favoritism. Those IOS users who DID manage to download the app officially are still able to use BBM perfectly. Everything else is just being held off, to keep things 'fair game' for everyone :)

On a somewhat related note, Google's openess of the Play Store also caused quite a lot of confusion for a LOT of people. I'm all for being open-source and having freedom of app-creating/sharing/choice, but all those fake apps were Not being monitored and removed fast enough. All that confusion was NOT good publicity for Blackberry or Google. It's something that Google should definitely work on soon.
[Android General] CallumMarks77:
There has to be a proper reason why there blocking the leaked app though... They let us down by not releasing the official app, thats the only reason so many people used the leaked one because they failed to make a deadline

Depends what you mean...the post links to a webpage that just provides us with information we already know and have seen 100 times already: The claim that the apps are live now though is Totally Incorrect.

The IOS and Android Versions have been pulled for now anyway. When they go live, one of us will post it here with all the necessary links.

I have sent a request to a moderator to have the post closed/removed. We have enough BBM threads on XDA now already :)
[Android General] wing_addict_usa:
Tons of fake apps STILL up. Google is doing that on purpose
[Android General] 80000037:
Weird, i still can use BBM up until 1 PM today...

It did went dead around 8 AM, but the connection was back around 11 AM.

Oh well... hopefully the official release will be in the near future. I already sold my BB device 2 weeks prior to anticipate BBM Android :rolleyes:
[Android General] Omessy7:
not "still" up... those fakes just rose from 2 hrs. ago.. before then there were none...
[Android General] wing_addict_usa:
Damn Google needs to black list keywords right now. Millions of people are getting infected. Funny I recognize a dev account name from fakenamegenerator.com they must also be carding the play developer $5 fee.

The developers are also taking this opportunity to distribute black market.
[Android General] Omessy7:
TIPS to help you identify fakes ...

1_NOT by BlackBerry Limited.

2_app description often starts with "

Blackberry Messenger Full Edition!!!

For All Android Devices and also it is FREE!!! " which is xtremely n00b.

3_Dev email is a hotmail or gmail account.

4_it's less than 14 MB in size (leak is about 14.1)

5_BlackBerry clearly stated that it requires 4.0.4+, yet some fakes require 2.0+

6_icons are absolutely unprofessional (it should be as BBM leak icon)

7_Same screenshots in EVERY Fake....

8_XTREMELY unrelated tags... example: "Tiny Flashlight + LED WhatsApp Messenger Pandora® internet radio

Skype - free IM & video calls GO Launcher EX Angry Birds Seasons Angry Birds Rio Twitter

Talking Tom Cat Free Angry Birds Space Advanced Task Killer Barcode Scanner Fruit Ninja Free Adobe Reader Facebook Messenger Google Translate Google+ Google Play Books sex porn lesbian gay" yes all these are in one fake :rolleyes:

***subscribe on bbm.com to get an email on official lunch and/or follow BBM verified page for updates.

Thanks, i hope no one falls for this cr*p.
[Android General] ThePhoneGeek:
Bottom line folks is that Blackberry wasn't ready. Nothing we can do about it except wait for them to regroup and figure it out.

We don't need more Blackberry lies about leaks causing problems, etc. It's just insulting to our intelligence.

if you can connect to BBM server for BB user, you can access it :(

are you that determined to use the service that you would potentially cause further problems with the bbm servers ?

how about you wait ?

it is a free app... and so is the service...

just throwing this out there since MAYBE just MAYBE blackberry is right and the leaked app has demonstrated a huge negative effect on their system.

why dont BB clarify that?

[Android General] GrandMstrBud:
They knew they were not going to hit the launch date so they put out a "leaked" version that worked and then they came with the excuse that the "leaked" version was causing delays. I for one do not buy how a leaked version could delay it. We all know there's no issues with the google play store as fakes still came in during that time and what in the world does the android leaked version have to do with delaying the iOS version?

That 1.1 millions new user are from android and all of them use leaked version...if leaked version work flawless then no one will download official release...imagine that 1.1 millions download official release on the first day of the launch...it will be the most downloadable app in the history of launch app in Playstore history...

That is why Blackberry blame leaked version...user dont have to wait for the official release if leaked version is working like official one...

but if they had released the official version on time, the leaked version users wud be very very few, in my case the release was scheduled at 430 pm, and i went out at 5, till then the leaked version wasnt connecting either, came back at 8, saw this thread and used the leaked version :\
[Android General] fadeout:
Whoa woke up after yesterday's disaster and found the play store littered with fakes again and no sign of the official app. Guess I'll go back to waiting patiently for this. Shame they couldn't deliver as promise, but from RIM it's not much of a surprise.
[Android General] Gillion:
The events of the last day demonstrates 5 things.

1. Blackberry was not properly prepared. (why pull the iOS version)

2. Google Play Store is a wild west (Vet the apps before publishing not the other way around)

At this moment 11 fake apps have popped up.

to continue:

3. People are globally, easily lead astray (Fake apps should not be so lucrative an idea)

4. Impatience is a global disease.

5. Big companies will spin any straw man or red herring to save face from their own mistake.

[Android General] matapo:
1. As has been mentioned a number of times in this thread, Blackberry pulled the IOS version after hundreds of complaints from Android users claiming Blackberry prejudice toward the IOS platform. They decided to pull the app to even out the playing field. Those who managed to get the app through official channels are still using it and its working perfectly. As for them no being prepared- they WERE prepared for an Android release. However, they were NOT prepared for a leaked buggy old version of the app being downloaded over a million times and messing with their servers.

2) I completely agree with you on this. It was very disappointing to see how poorly managed the store was/is and how long it's been taking to pull these fake every time they pop up. Better management in the near future is essential or Google's going to be in Big trouble with the public / Android fans.

3) Absolutely! The problem is the majority of people can't READ and/or couldn't be bothered to do just a Little bit of research before jumping into something and then complaining. People download fake apps from "RIM", "The BBM Company", "We are BBM" etc etc and then wonder why they're not getting the app after completing 5 surveys :rolleyes: Others download the BES Server app from Blackberry and wonder why "BBM isn't working", giving the app 1-star ratings...It's sad...

4) It really is! I suppose, in people's defense, when something is promised (free or not), they expect that promise to be fulfilled. "Don't make promises you can't keep" and all that...However, patience is a virtue and I agree that people should really try harder! The world isn't going to end because their free app didn't arrive on time.

5) I agree. One of Blackberry's biggest flaws as a company (along with their TERRIBLE P.R.) is their refusal to accept blame or accountability for any of their failures. When this happened, there should have been an immediate apology with detailed notes of the issue and an ETA. The ETA didn't have to be perfect- but just keeping users informed would have mitigated a lot of users' ill-will. Their Twitter page hasn't been updated in almost 16 hours! I find THAT absolutely pathetic. P.R 101 is NOT about hiding away from the customers when things go wrong.
[Android General] ardnat86:
Just wait official release.... :)
[Android General] GrandMstrBud:
If they want to blame the android leaked version fine but I'm not buying it. But that's my opinion. But the real question is why pull the iOS version down? It was official i believe in New Zealand and a few other countries so obviously there was no issues with it.
[Android General] mattg1234567:
Execs are probably spinning themselves. Blackberry just fired 40% of their work force Friday one day before big release ...not smart..they used their people and dumped them.

The people left and those responsible for fixing this probably have poor morale as they lost friends and co workers...who are all laughing now...cuz maybe those xtra 4500 people could be of help

I never see it that way.. good point...

I always see it as: the leaked version was intentional because BBM Android still has bugs (unable to save edited setting for example) and BB already made promise to make BBM available before summer ends. So they fulfilled their promise but botched their own event... and now they have more time to polish the app...

But like I said, your point of view never across my mind before... good point...

1hour ago there were 4 or 5 fake apps in the playstore.. now they were all gone..

blackberry.. you just wont surrender do you?

and cross platform BBM is the last achievement for them to bring the price up.. just speculation..
