Actually, what you should be ashamed of is your own response and like you said, the information is out there for any one who wants to learn.

the fact the you say lights and interior fan (electrical systems that run off the car's battery) load a car's engine confirms to me you do not know what you're talking about.

those who want to know, are free to learn

that roadside mechanic talk about AC being a load is in itself a myth.

the AC compressor is always connected to the engine by the fan belt. so whether you're actually using the AC or not, it is already factored into the car's fuel efficiency and its part of the engine

analogy: if your fridge is plugged in, if you turn the temperature to cooling or you dont, it will still use up your electricity. the difference is that when you ask it to cool, the cooling agent travels through the system to drop the temperature as it is using that electricity. the same thing is what happens with the car AC

wapu:
What about the AC myth??

That you save more fuel when you drive without an AC.

It is a myth. When you drive without the AC you have to leave the windows open which will reduce aerodynamics and increase friction. More friction requires more fuel to overcome so you actually waste fuel when you don't drive with AC

akocce:
it's funny to think dat they didn't knw all these while... they just allowed it ni. u think airtel doesn't knw about d 1k for 3gb sub?

Of course the technical and finance department are aware (they only care about the revenue to the business) but customer service are not aware (officially) so they will tell you its not supported and encourage you to go with the more expensive BB10 data plans

oloribabs:
Actually,it is a very long story exactly like movie scenes. I did not see the both of them and I don't know the thief either. The 2nd buyer with the agreement of the 1st buyer decided to return the phone to me without collecting money from me. I will just say they have good hearts and God bless them

So you're saying first buyer paid money to thief. Sold it to second buyer. First and second buyer then got together and agreed to return the phone to you

The question is, how did they contact you?

Yep...I have one for sale. Hit me up at my pin in the signature line below

How do I update my BB10 Z3 to 10.3

Anytime I try to update it says not enough space, I tried to free the space on the phone memory to no avail.
I even wipe the phone, still not enough space
Gurus please how do I go about it? Thanks

Install Blackberry Link on your laptop/PC and use it to update the device

fashrola:
Yeah it has been a waste... cos it's very slow to load new feeds, drains battery faster, I always use the default browser to check my notifications on facebook... but it's still VERY Important to me, cos it syncs all my facebook friend's birthday and events to ma calender and their number to my Phonebook... cos I can even chat with them via whatsapp since their number is synced to my phonebook

I love Face10 though... I even subscribed for the premium version, but the cons are:

1. No messenger like facebook for BlackBerry where u can chat directly from your inbox
2. Does not not sync your facebook contact to your calender and phonebook

I just want Blackberry to give this Face10 full authorization to sync all our contacts to calender and Phonebook... then it gonna beat facebook for BlackBerry hands down...

One more thing: I love the dark theme on face10 app

Glad to see you're enjoying your Face10...i have not tried the app yet. i agree with you the facebook app integrates into the device the way a native app is supposed to

Just so you know, as a paying customer you should communicate any new features you want to the face10 developers and now that facebook; the company has removed support for the native facebook for BB app, the face10 developers will have more leverage to convince BlackBerry; the company to allow them implement more features to keep BB users happy

Yes, loading an older autoloader should give you the preloaded Facebook version.

the only question i have is why you guys think you need to use the Facebook app for Blackberry...its a very useless app and has been that way for a long time so why waste your time stressing over the app?

[quote author=jairusben post=43972670][/quote]open BB World and see if there's an update for BBM...if there is, download and install

Oh btw, confirm what BB10 OS version you're on?

kannymoore:
geez...

so u mean to say that airtel actually drains data faster than GLO?

aaw mahn..

Meanwhile, I saw two prices for 3gb airtel data.. 1000 and 1500. will they both work at the same rate or the data of N1000 will drain faster than that of N1500?

pls reply...thanks very much.

apologies...the 1400 was a typo, its 1000....the 1k plan doesnt work on android devices but the 1.5k plan does

jairusben:
glo 3Gb,,every thing works well ecxept bbm,,

a screen shot of your BBM will help put your query in perspective

kannymoore:
How much are airtel's data plans and hope they don't drain as fast as I've been hearing?
Also, what are their codes?

Airtel has two plans that will work on BB10 devices....the 'complete' and 'unlimited'.
they are both 3gb for 1400 and 1500 but on a BB10 device, the data consumption is DOUBLE and you will run out of data by the time you have used 1.5gb!!!

that's strange...ignore the hub and go into settings>Accounts and check that all is well with the accounts you set up

jairusben:
good day my BlackBerry q10 doesnt display the BlackBerry logo next to the network bar so bbm is nt connecting,,can you assist

what data plan are you on?

if u have registered the right email address as you said, that means the verification email has been sent to you at the time of registration and u should search your box for that original email.

stevejireh01:
please can anyone here help me out on how to complete my BlackBerry confirmation ID, I was asked to confirm the Email, yet each time I open my inbox theirs always nothing there to confirm.

you need to be sure you typed your email address correctly when you registered the account. if you did, you should check your inbox and spam mail.

Q10 was released in 2013...i will be surprised if you can still find a new one to buy. you should look at buying a more recent model of the BB10

Passport, Classic, Leap and Z3 are options you can consider

oloribabs:
Its so so painful, my bbZ30 was stolen on saturday. Still like a dream

oh wow...sorry about that...i have had a Z30 and a Z3 stolen...exactly a month apart

in your case though, i hope you had the latest OS installed? if you did, then you can rest assured the thief cannot make use of the device...even if the person wipes the phone, the phone can only be activated with your BBID

i wlll suggest you go to protect.blackberry.com, log in with your BBID & password to flag the device as stolen

blessu1:
Pls which is d best in d bb10 devices? M confused on which to go for. M looking for a gud bb wif very gud camera quality, fast internet connectivity and enough memry space..pls ur advice is urgently needed. Tanks.

The best BlackBerry 10 device is the BlackBerry Passport. It is more expensive than the rest but it's the boss!!! It meets all your criteria: camera, speed and space more than any other BlackBerry 10 device

13MP rear camera,
quad-core processor,
32gb internal storage, you can put a 128gb SD card and the device has 3gb RAM

If budget is not an issue...you should get the passport

BADNEAT:
What's d best subscription for bb10 aside d glo bis

glo has two data plans that gives 4.5gb for 2.5k or 9gb for 4k...now that glo has increased the cost of BIS to 1.4k and 1.5k for 3gb data plans, i'm thinking of switching to those regular plan and move away from BIS

if you do the maths, cost per MB for the data plans are
54kobo/MB (4.5gb for 2.5k),
43kobo/MB (9gb for 4k),
45kobo/MB (1.4k for 3gb) and
49kobo/MB (1.5k for 3gb)

MissIndependent:
I use a Glo Data plan the 3Gig for 1k now 1,400 and I can browse and watsapp even at this moment how come I can't ping?

Do u have a BBID? Can you log into BlackBerry world with a BBID and password?

Tabtab:
How can I charge my BlackBerry Q10 while the phone is off

Just plug it in

BADNEAT:
have you compared the actual data usage with the balance airtel leaves u with?hows it?is it actually 3gb??

It's charged at twice...so 3gb=1.5gb unless you're using a legacy BlackBerry

MissIndependent:
Goodmorning please I am having issues with my BBQ5 pings I sent I don't even see it the person I sent it to can't get it either and I can't receive as well I have tried rebooting the phone but still no changes please what should I do? Urgent reply pls.

Do you have a data plan? Hope you're not using any of the funny restricted data plans from the networks?

You can use Airtel bis and glo bis plan....the plans that have no restrictions...airtel BlackBerry unlimited and glo comonth plans are two examples of cheap data plans for BlackBerry 10 devices

jairusben:
Bbm has never worked on my q10.any idea,,get this error message saying no blackberry data,,try again later...any solution?

Are you sure you have a BlackBerry? I ask because there are China BlackBerrys and I know people have fallen into the trap buying them

If your device is a genuine BlackBerry, bbm will work with any data plan in fact, you have to make a conscious effort to prevent bbm from working

Kay17:
The question is whether a woman in a marriage owes her family any financial responsibility. Not whether the woman is to cater for her man absolutely. Don't confuse both.

I like this clarification.

I believe if a woman decides to work rather than face domestic duties fully, then any and every kobo she earns from her work belongs to the family just like any and every penny the husband earns belongs to the family

The problem here is many women think because the husband is traditionally supposed to provide for the family, if the wife earns money she has to keep it for herself but the fact is that we do not live in the stone age anymore and that type of thinking is wrong

Even if the husband is a billionaire, the wife cannot decide unilaterally to keep her earnings to herself and still expect a Happy home

The Person I Intend To Marry Just Told Me This!!!

Dear Nairalanders,

I've come again to hear your views about this issue.... especially married "Egbons"

So it all started like this, My new fiancee and I just finished a sunday service and I was about going to drop her at home when one of her single friends asked if she could join us which we agreed.

On our way they started talking all wife stuffs sharing their views on a marriage and shii, then one thing led to a financial topic where my fiancee started saying she can never support a husband financially, that a man should be a man and take all responsibilities of every penny to be spent, that the reason she's working is to be able to afford all the things she wants that all the responsibilities of the household is for the husband . I acted cool at first.

Her friend was even saying that she doesnt like to be a liability that at least it should not be the man's responsibility 100% that the wife should be able to support financially, My fiancee outrightly disagreed with her saying support doesnt have to be financial from the wife, that it could be through prayers.

I couldnt keep mute anymore I had to ask her "what does it mean when people say supportive wife? " she replied she doesn't know, that she's sure it doesnt have to be financial.

At some point when the friend had already alighted, I asked what if the man is building a house and needs immediate support for just window frames, she said never!

She even said if she has money in the bank and their is no food at home, we will all drink Garri.

Now here are the facts,
-We got introduced through match making,
-there are some good things about her that is worth consideration.
-I dont think she has dated before because she obviously has no experience whats so ever when it comes to relationship behaviours. she's "efikko" kind of.
-This her ideology seems deep rooted in her upbringing and family., her mum is rich.

My Challenge is,
Should I stick around and try to change that ideology or just move on because I am sure it's a destructive ideology.

If you like her enough to want to marry her YOU MUST address this issue before marriage....i made the mistake of not addressing the exact same issue

from your post, it does sound to me like she's a bad person...the problem is only ignorance....part of your marriage counselling must include a solid financial counselling where independent and professional views are considered

you can buzz me privately for further discussion

If you have multiple batteries and chargers and you're still having problem charging, then the charge connector on the device might be faulty

Have you tried to measure the amount of data you used before you had to renew your subscription?

My measurement this February on the airtel unlimited BIS plan showed only 1.5gb consumed before the sim started requesting a new subscription?

And the 1k airtel BIS plan is a hit or miss on a BlackBerry 10 device!!! Some are able to use it and others are not

temmyt20:
lemme av ur airtel number....and pls, @others, dnt use Airtel 1k for 3gb on ur BlackBerry 10

The no is +2348025390577....thanx
