cassette: For some reason I wanna downgrade my OS on my blackberry Z10 STL-100 back to the OS it came with from MTN..I'm presently running a leaked version of OS 10.2.0.1047...please does anybody know how to go about this?

you will need a PC with Blackberry Link installed.

there's a button in Blackberry link for refreshing the OS. dont forget to back up your important files because everything will be wiped

I already tried that..what it shows me is a screen searching for new software update and finally it restores the phone to factory settings...could it possibly be because the OS is a leak version?

walcolm:

still follow the steps and see if you are able to get data service

Tanx, it works that way but with Data On.
but l cant update the software yet
It says' This software update is too large to be downloaded over this network. pls use a WiFi network instead.
Tanx. l really apreciate you.

is your PC connected to the internet? what is supposed to happen is that it restores your OS to the latest official OS but that can only happen if you are connected to the internet

Would try connecting to the Internet this time around...

or just look for the previous preferred OS in crackberry download and install it on ur phone with help of a pc...me too already downgraded mine

that's because BBWorld is set by default to not allow excessively large files download using cellular network. just another way Blackberry likes to look out for the interest of the users

BUT

you can change the setting by going to Blackberry World;
SWIPE down from the top;
Select Settings (Gear icon);
Select Network & Data Limits...
Toggle 'Use Wifi Only' off

Z10 has higher spec compared to the Q5...if you must get something with a keyboard, Q10 is what u should be comparing to the Z10

I got this information from glo customer service centre. I guess by next month or subsequent subscription, they would take only 1000 from your account.as per the 3GB size for comonth, there was a time it was reduced to 1GB.

walcolm:

good to hear, have fun

since i updated my phone i noticed it gets hot easily and my b3 drains faster. Pls is it as a result of the update? And what should i do.

I must warn that this upgrade is a battery killer especially when you use 3G half the time
.I already had to replace my Z10 battery less than 2 weeks into the upgrade

Hi all. Please I nid ur advice.I want to change my phone from Torch 2 to Z10,but d absense of a qwerty keypad is giving me concerns. How user friendly is Z10 in terms of typing etc since Walcolm said Q5 is a lower spec than Z10 and I can't afford Q10 right now.

Rowybest: since i updated my phone i noticed it gets hot easily and my b3 drains faster. Pls is it as a result of the update? And what should i do.

its normal for a smart phone to become warm when there's high antenna activity. its usually related to data transmission. if your phone is working extra hard to maintain high speed data connection, it will become warm

to solve that, you will need to drop down from 3G to 2G or move to an area with better signal

cassette: I must warn that this upgrade is a battery killer especially when you use 3G half the time

its not the upgrade that kills your battery its YOU ...i mentioned earlier in this thread that people should avoid allowing their battery to drain completely as that shortens the life of the battery.

keep your phone plugged in when u are close to a power source

hands down the best phone keyboard on any touch screen device belongs to the Z10

oh btw, my last 2 legacy BB were the white 9810 followed by the grey 9810....i don't miss the physical keyboard at all and i like the bigger screen i have

if you must have a physical Keyboard, go for the Q10...the Keyboard is bad a$s

@ Walcolm,

Please how do I clear event and error log on Q10?? I tried ALT LGLG, but to no avail. Help me out, as my phone hangs sometimes!

Am just a week old wt my Q5, nd am nt understanding it @ all so pls I need sm1 2 put me thru. Please!

ololo12: @ Walcolm,

I don't think clearing error log is the solution to the problem. The BlackBerry 10 software doesn't hang so if you have that problem it must be something else.

A few things you can try to isolate what the problem could be are,
1. do a hard reset,
2. update your BlackBerry 10 software to the latest version 10.1 MR

If you still experience the hang, then you could be using a hardware not designed for gsm network

Start from page 1 of this thread and read the relevant posts. I'm sure you will be a guru by the time you get back to this page
