Upgrading my os taking nearly 1Gb, please is this normal for Z10?

Mrkuvuki:

I'm not yearning for a passport ,I love my Z10...Does everything I want, I just talked abt it cos last year i wanted to get the PS4 from Konga on the scam fall yakata and it was a night vigil for me yet I couldn't buy nothing


Sorry sir I don't sell phones ,Perfumes bro

better still

walcolm:


Is there a specific challenge you're having ?

I'd like to know if the Passport can handle HERE Map's offline navigation. It's very important for me. I always carry one Nokia smartphone with me because of this very important feature. I won't buy the Passport of it can't handle it.

Cheers.

i know Here map was introduced on the Windows OS platform...the question is, does it run on the android platform? if it does then BB Passport should be able to run it like it runs any other android app

walcolm am yet to c d review of d passport b kind to do urs hwfa it has been on ur palm,

lordmayor4:


There's nothing like mobile data on the tools there... have searched to no avail, the app is useless to me, have deleted it... and all android app that couldn't connect to my data

It's "mobile network" under tools, it's been working for me and a friend I shared the info with , but the apps lose connection if they are minimized. + tap it (mobile network) gently to activate/de-activate it

walcolm:

Exactly! I've used Here Maps on all my Nokia smartphones.
I'd like someone who has the Passport to test it and confirm that HERE Map's offline navigation works on the PAssport.

walcolm:

the last time I checked, Here map has a beta version for android and it works well with most android phones, the big names. I tried to run it on my Z10 with the 10.2 os version but it didn't work.

PLEASE THIS US TO ALL THR GURUS N RESEARCHERS ON THIS THREAD... A FRIEND OF MINE SAW A SELLER ON OLX WHO WANTS TO SELL HIS/HER BB Q10 FOR 25K... I had to go n check the site n I saw crazy prices for different phones... Now my question is.... IS ANY OF THOSE PHONES OR PRICES REAL? I know you will meet the person physically but still that does not guarantee the authenticity of the phone... Who has goten his or her phone from any of these sellers for such a low price with no complains?

I have sold a phone on that olx but I have not bought from any seller there. If you must buy, I'll advise you to know everything there is to know about the phone you want to buy so you can tell original from fake and buy from people in your city so you can inspect the phone before buying it. And if the seller is not in your city, tell him to do pay on delivery for you and when you get the phone, inspect it before paying. If it is not what you expected, tell the person to return it to the seller and put your money in your pocket.

BlackBerry Passport review

PS: I will keep updating as things come to me

First Impressions
Completely premium material makes the phone breathtaking when you open the pack! Hands down the best BB ever made and i don't expect the classic to topple it.

Keyboard
The only device in the history of the World with a keyboard that's also a navigation pad (BB has failed to hype and create a big media buzz around this innovation!!!). That means you use the keyboard to move about when you are on a page, use the keyboard to flick words up and also delete text (you will forget the keyboard has all these features when you start using the device). Swiping down on the keyboard brings up the numeric keypad when you need numbers

Unless you're a basketball player, you can't use the phone with one hand conveniently all the time. There are things you can do if you have large hands like me. If you have small hands don't try to use one hand

Specs
These are freely available on the Web and it's all true. Screen resolution is a crazy high 455ppi, i currently know of only two devices with higher screen resolution as of now so the resolution is going to be more than adequate for the next few yrs

BlackBerry 10.3
For those waiting for the official release, you're going to like the 10.3 when it eventually drops. everything you've come to love on the 10.2.1 are better on the 10.3 and the experience is made even better by the BlackBerry blend that comes with 10.3!!!! Those who used the PlayBook will know what I'm talking about and feel right at home with the blend...it's BlackBerry bridge on steroids

for those of us who still have our playbook, the BB Bridge is still available to pair your passport for a larger screen

Screen
With a 1:1 ratio and a crazy high resolution, everything is beautiful. Email dimension is actually better than in 16:9 dimension phones

Active Frame
The AF page is a permanent home page on 10.3 and the passport displays 8 frames that can be resized..and rearranged!!! AF do no cycle as you currently have on 10.2 OS

Watching Videos
Cos the screen is 1:1 ratio, videos are never full screen like you get on 16:9 ratio devices

Camera
Yet to start shooting

Battery life
Humongous battery will take you through a full day of heavy use with enough juice to spare...i am yet to test the limits but i have no worries.... lots of reviews online on this already and the battery is way better than that of the Z30

Emrich:

You need a minimum of 10.2.1.xxxx to run apks. The android runtime on the 10.3 is even better so I won't be surprised if the HERE map runs better on the passport

pls, can I hear more about the blend? I miss my pb days cos of compatibility issues.

the BB Blend is the follow up to the BB Link but it doesnt replace the BB link, it complements it

with the Blend, you can interact with your BB running 10.3 from a desktop...send and receive emails, view and edit contact details, send and receive sms, BBM - you can run BBM chats, group chats, BBM channels, view and edit calendar, copy files from and to your BB (file transfer) from your desktop without you having to touch your phone....its like the BB Bridge to a desktop

I am not enjoying my Q10 a bit.
1) battery doesn't last
2) the phone is always hot

N.B: I bought the phone new.
don't know if every Q10 user experience the same thing

If you bought it recently.. That's normal. It'd be still settle for good soon.
Try reducing d brightness , update yor OS & close apps wen yu're done to reduce background processes.

U need to use winrar or 7zip to extract the autoloader. As for the bblink try running as administrator

I heard FMH15 is paid so I ddnt bother downloading it. But I already have it on my pc

Hi,pls I need sum1 to give me a step-by-step ways of upgrading my blackberry Q5 using my laptop(i already have d blackberry link installed) on my phone its always telling me dat d file is too large to be downloaded over d network.pls help me out.tnks

ur pc needs to b connected to the Internet, so it's either u use the hotspot on your phone to connect it or find a way to. If that is done, all you need to do is plug your phone to your pc, allow bblink to startup, then search for update and let it update

My Q5 always get hot at night. I just updated to the recent software release on my phone. I connected my phone via a wifi and updated the software. It gets hot occasionally and drains battery whenever it's hot. I always close app after use and my brightness is at d lowest. What else should I do?

if you have wifi, your phone wont give you that error message

except for the occasional defective battery situation, Smartphones only get hot when the radios have problems latching on to a network for radio or data service

you will notice that your phone wont get hot when connected to strong wifi signal or if your data service from your network is giving you consistent 3G, H or H+ level of data...once you start getting lower case letters or edge and GPRS, the device will be working overtime to compensate for the weak signal
