mekstaniac:

Of course I use a downloaded. How am I supposed to download a 1.4GB file without pausing and resuming? I used fdm and I've downloaded it 3 times

try IDM, thats what I used in downloading mine for my z10, and ive also downloaded for a Q5 also without any problem.

Chuksworld: I updated my Q5 to the same 10.2.1.2977 and everything is still working as usual. no wahala.


Can Q5 be upgraded to 10.3? I always go to my phone "software update " to know if I would see it there but I haven't.

Good a.m, pls which method did u used to update the software, cos i v tried all the methods harrysterol mentioned.

@ harrysterol and walcolm: i dnt knw why my phone is taking ages to update throughout yesterday i was at the cafe trying to download and install the blackberry link but didnt do so slow, i also connect my phone to cafe hotspot, it will download small and stop i got frustrated i left.

Morning Guys, please I don't know if anyone ever had this issue with their Q5, always discharging battery when charging. Doesn't charge or rather doesn't boost up. Even after changing the battery. Someone said, it might be the IC. Any suggestion please

Pls help me make this decision of mine oo. I wish to get this bb q5 coz of the good reviews frm d users but at d same time, I luv playing games on my mobile as well and I am nt sure whether this Q5 is good for gamers. Should I go for this q5 or go for android phone? Thanks

You won't see it there for now until blackberry decides to push it to carriers. I think all you can do now is side loading it... I'm not well informed concerning this so I suggest you ask the gurus here.

Yes it can, am running 10.3 on a Q5 now, the 10.3 is not yet official for other devices apart frm d BlackBerry passport, so ur 2977 is the official OS nw d 10.3 ben run on pple device nw is a leaked version, wen it bcoms official ur q5 will see the update also unless u wnt to install the leak version for now

The fact that you're even considering a Q5 means you're not a hardcore gamer. You just want a device that can run your games that you have been playing on other platforms

All the BlackBerry 10 devices handle games very well but like someone has mentioned a larger screen makes games more enjoyable so you should consider the z10/z3 or z30 depending on your budget.

If there's any particular game you can't find on the BlackBerry World, just install the android version directly on your BlackBerry 10 device and you should be fine

Hello house pls I've been trying to upgrade my Q10 to 10.2.1.2197 since yesterday using glo network all to no avail.Its asking me to use wifi..any help wil b appreciated.Thanks

Set up mobile hotspot on another phone and connect your q10 to do the update

Actually, its a combination of both your uploads and your downloads ( Sent and received)
For example, you're uploading a document to send via email to your boss . .
and the size is 30MB . . I'm sorry buh dat 30MB will be deducted from your data too . .

Misconception . . . how about iOs . . The last time I checked
the number of games on iTunes (both free n paid) surpassed those on the Playstore . . .
and the iDevices handle game perfectly well . . .

IOS is fine too, buh my problem wit it is dt most of d good games or apps are paid apps jst like AppWorld, and u knw d problms of sideloading in IOS. Dnt get me wrong, IOS is very good in terms of apps, buh when u nid flexibility, u knw it's android.. am I right or am I right?

Btwn, d op didn't mention iOS, I jst went wit d options he gave..

Wrong ! Most of the good games (and even apps) on PlayStore too are also paid . . .
Most of the jaw-dropping HD n' 3D games on Adroid were downloaded illegally (i.e apk file + cache )

...u know, it's rilly funny how u mention "Wrong!" when u quote peeps. Lolzz.

Erm, buh bck to bizniz, now we r saying almost d same tin, "sideloading", dats wher Android's flexibility coms to play, even if d game is paid, hell am gon sideload! Buh see iOS, unless I go tru d hassles of jailbreaking, der's notin I can do, jst sit n look at dose premium paid games n wish I culd hav dem.. so do we agree on Andy's flexibility? . Or I expect a "Wrong!"
