Donvitalis: You've been of immense help to me with your incisive answers. All is set for the arrival of my Z10...thanks once again.

enjoy your Z10...once you buy, update the software to the 10.2 version to benefit from the improvements and get yourself to a solid start in BB10

lymelyte: Will sideloaded viber work on BlackBerry os 10.2.429 and which version of viber? Because I tried severally on 10.1,it responded with force closed all times.

the first place to start is to update to BB OS10.2, then try to sideload the latest version of Viber available...if that doesnt work, try the version before the latest and see how it pans out

I got the software update to 10.2.0.424 of 568MB message and I started downloading it and it got 2 85% and I left it to work and it was still downloading...on getting home later after about 9hours and I checked my phone I discovered another download of 10.2.0.424 of 1028MB about 15% going on in my phone and am so confused Right now...I really need your help. thank you.

Lots of people experienced the same thing across networks all over the world

The only explanation I can think of is this, when the update app tries to do an incremental update originally based on your existing installation (568mb) and that attempt fails, the update system then goes for a full update the next time to do a complete and fresh install of the new OS. That's the explanation I can give for the 1gb update

Talking about updates

Happy to announce I just installed the leaked 10.2.1.x OS folks

It's bad as$

See my new swipe down notification in the attached

Another screen shot

The almighty delete from device and server is back !!!!

For the past 3 days now my Q10 have been charging awfully slow. I just can't understand it. 1 hour of charge and it's even barely 30%. I've cleaned my battery terminals but still no change. Help me guys

are u using the charger that came with the phone?

slow or no charge means the amount of current getting to the battery is low and that could mean faulty charger or there could be something wrong with the connector on the device itself

I have 3 original chargers. Only one came with the phone but the other 2 came with my bold 5 cos I got it brand new. Before now these chargers charge my device fast. But now I charge for 1 hour and I get just 30% charge.

Sorry guys, I want to get a Z10 can u give me a sharp rundown.
I can't start reading from page 1 as this is happening today..


1 major question, is it normal BIS or its stil its special BB10 BIS?

Normal bis on airtel and glo works fine

Nice job Walcolm is doing here.

Please, I'm tired of my BBOS7 and I wanna up to 10.
Z10 as a full touch is outta the options cos I already got a note II.
I'm looking @ Q5 or Q10.

So buddies, please what's your honest recommendation in terms of functionality, upgrades, hardware and most esp battery life.

Thanks a lot.

Decided to sideload both Instagram and Temple run. Downloads were complete but I can't even find the apps anywhere in my phone not to talk of trying to open it

walcolm: Click the link below to fix the Android runtime issue you're having

Check out BlackBerry Runtime for Android in BlackBerry World! You can find it at http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/39879918

Hello sir. I don't think this app it's still available on BlackBerry world.

I have only got 1 sideloaded app to work very well and it's my 2go. In d past I've sideloaded over 7 apps and none works. Including temple run, Google Chrome and opera mini. Although the latest OS allows u to install ApKs directly from ur fone without sideloading dem. I just hope they keep enhancing the support for android apps cos if this happens, it's bb for ever for me

hi all. pls with bis on airtel and glo, can I add more than one email. thanks

Q10 is a higher spec compared to Q5 but Q5 is a bargain compared to Q10

Z10 and Q10 have similar spec while Q5 is slightly lower but the pricing of Q10 is still high compared to the Z10

Yep

Lol...probably the installation didn't complete.

Which method do you use for side loading ?

I think the Google Chrome extension method is still the easiest way to do it

Also instagram requires the installation of two versions; the latest version and the one before it. What that means is you need to install the previous version and then install the latest version

Mystiqme:

It will show up if your device requires it. Not everyone needs it.

I didn't have to install it myself

How about battery life and OS upgrade issues of the 10 & 5?

moshoodn:


Thanks a lot bro.

battery is not a problem and OS Upgrade is also not an issue...unlike BBOS, BB10 devices all upgrade to the same OS version at the same time

Google Chrome Extension Phew!!
Well I went to the link on page 0, searched for Instagram and Temple Run, clicked download and that was it. When I used my phone search app however, I found the two as files but it never opens. Didn't know i'm supposed to do any other thing to get them working
