Hello bro, I just got a Z10 now but the problem is that
after inserting my sim (Glo) it refuses to register with
network and its only displaying "e" at the top right corner
and have done everything possible but its not bringing on
the 3G. Please I need help

Have u subcribed to a data package with glo? If you have, set your apn to default settings for your package

If it doesn't work it could be that you ask device is still locked to another network

what OS are you on?

Deeni131:
hello guys, my question is, my MTN BBmidim has expired how can i browse directly with my money or data bundle.

reset your APN to default and you should be able browse on a PAYG

Therein potentially lies the problem. If you bought the charger in traffic or any of the other many shady charger seller outlets all over the place, you probably bought a China charger

To narrow the problem, look for someone with a BlackBerry 10 device who has the original manufacturer's charger that cam with the phone, use their charger on your BlackBerry and see if it charges faster...if it does then you know the problem is with the charger you're using....if not then the problem is with the phone

Sammiel:
thanks for the reply. But my intention was to know how much it will cost me before I will go ahead and make the final purchase cos I haven't placed the order yet. I will contact you later.

why do u want to buy a phone that is locked and then spend money to unlock it?

oloriTj:
My q10 is very slow to charge can anyone proffer a solution please? my os is 10.3.2.2226 thanks.

are you using the charger that was included with the phone?

PLEASE ADVICE ME!!!
I'm a heavy phone user both online and offline. I want to dump my BlackBerry Bold 5 to any of these devices BlackBerry Q10 or Infinix Hot 2.....but I don't know which should I go for ?

I'm tired of using MTN on data, calls, tariff plan and subscription expense. Pls between Glo, Airtel and Etisalat which has plan that will suite poor student like me ?

i will advise you to buy a Passport (if you want a physical keyboard) or the Z30 (if you want a virtual keyboard) rather than buying a Q10... Passport and Z30 have newer hardware compared to the Q10

Glo is your best BIS option

you probably loaded the wrong OS for your device model....Install Blackberry Link on a PC and use it to restore the phones to the official OS for the Q10

i am still unsure what settings control how long before call logs disappear...as i'm typing right now, i can only see my call logs as far back as 7th September which is less than 3 months

if i come across anything, i'll share and other here might chip in something

[quote author=megola post=40068830][/quote]cropping pictures is automatic if the picture is not sized 1:1. once you choose the picture to use as your dp, BB10 shows you where you can select the part of the picture you want to show

Pls I bought a fairly used z10, unknown to me that the antitheft feature was on, I cant access app world, I cant sign in my BBID, neither can I even create a new BBID, it keeps telling me to sign in with the ID registered with the phone.

So I changed the OS from 10.3.2 to 10.3.1. After that I could log in my own ID, but the issue now is that each time I restart the phone all my downloaded apps are gone, everything saved on the phone memory will be wiped out. I later updated the OS back to 10.3.2 and it went back to that same antitheft protection. I even tried upgrading to a higher version but it still kept telling me abt the antitheft feature been on.


Pls is there a way I can completely turn off this antitheft feature so I can update the OS, or is there anything I can do to stop all my app from disappearing each time I restart the phone?

Would appreciate your timely response.

Thanks

I don't know of any solution to your challenge at this point...you probably bought a stolen phone and if it's not too late, I'll suggest you return it to the person you bought it from

There's no cheaper network than glo on data pricing for BlackBerry however an alternative network with good BlackBerry data package is airtel

temmyt20:
same here...I noticed John's BlackBerry pin is usually added to victor's contact. ave to go to contact once a while to remove it. my os is 10.3.2

cyonujemen:
I use a Z10 BlackBerry. I have noticed for sometime now that my contacts dps doesn't sync with the right contact. i.e John's dp will appear as dp for Victor. What could be wrong. Could my z10 be virus infected?

Folks,

the problem you're experiencing is actually a function of how you save your contacts....BB10 requires you to take extra time to save your contacts properly...Names, email, number, BBM etc...most people are guilty of saving multiple contacts with the same name on their phone and that makes it hard for artificial intelligence to know which one to combine with what

The OS tries to intelligently combines contacts that have common data...e.g. if you have two friends saved as adex and chukwu but the mobile numbers are different but the email address is the same, the phone will link them together

if you take time to save contacts names (first name and last name) properly that will make your experience more fun

noob03saibot:
Please house, how do I back up information on my z10. When I was using touch2 the blackberry protect was easy to do. Right now I am finding it impossible to do on my z10. Please how do I go about it?

you need to install BlackBerry Link program on your pc or laptop. if you dont have pc or laptop, you can use the cloud i.e. dropbox - check my signature below to signup....BOX, Onedrive etc. you will find dropbox and box on your device already

Sold for N1000-N1500 at any electronic hardware stores

be careful with this....the cable that will work with a BB10 device is different from regular TV HDMI cable that is sold in just any electronics store

I am kinda so fortunate to stumble on this thread today! It's really gonna be a good Month for me.
I need a help(s), very urgent, and probably it might have been treated on this thread, but it's kinda weird checking through the pages to get it solved.
1 - while other devices, even Tecno T410 (N3,500 Phone) can easily be connected via USB with my Plasma TV and work well, My BBZ10 wouldn't work.
2 - I've been trying to make use of some Apps like Dropbox, Smart Tag, BlackBerry Blend to no avail! In fact I've deleted those that are delete-able
Wouldn't mind tutorial!


BTW: Tango won't work well either, and IMO isn't available to download!

Thanks

You can connect the z10 to a TV via the hdmi out on the left side of the phone or you can connect via DLNA if your plasma can connect to to wifi

Hello house pls I just bought a Z10 from USA but after inserting my sim I discovered its locked to a network

US phones are mostly network locked unless it's specifically stated as unlocked. The way out is to do an unlock

simdam500:
Guys my z10 just got stolen, i deactivated my password lock this morning while i was studying with it and i've not reactivated it since den. My location is off on default, am running d latest 10.3.2.... Os... I've changed my bb protect id and i've only been able to lock it... What else would you guys suggest?

Changed BlackBerry Protect ID? I don't understand pls expantiate

If you have the latest OS installed, what you do is to get on BlackBerry Protect and set a device password and even send a message to the device. Chances are high the person who stole the device will not start using it immediately so give it time

Sorry about the loss

simdam500:
Thanks...

@ bolded in my settings about right? Cos it not on my BlackBerry Protect profile

Yep...you check your OS version on your device..

Settings->about..tap dropdown and check 'OS'

simdam500:
I just updated to the latest os... an I must say this is flawless... and my device is looking s£xy...

One question... how do I know if my bbI'd has been locked to my device hardware, cos that was why I updated

check protect.blackberry.com...log in with your BBID and password...you will see your device listed and you will see a small icon that says your device is 'anti-theft protected'

confirm that your current OS says 10.3.2.xxxx

you can update your device without a PC if you have an internet enabled wifi

'Quickteller mini' app is available on BlackBerry World....it allows you to integrate your BBM with Quickteller and you can use it to make and receive payments

Folks, Lets give Interswitch a BIG UP by downloading the app so they know we appreciate their effort

try a VPN app...there are a few available on BB World

I'm an Arsenal fan so I'm used to business profit taking precedence over fans' wants and needs

John Chen answers to the Board and shareholders...not users. the easiest way to keep his job is to give them dividend. Since not enough people are buying BB10 devices, he had to look for an alternative

Yes glo bis works

Hello house, how can one sign out BlackBerry ID on BlackBerry 10?

First off, a BB10 must be associated with a BBID...you can change the BBID associated with the device but you can't 'sign out'. even when you wipe, you still have to associate the device with another BBID before you can continue using it

settings->BlackBerry ID...

private browsing has always been available. it just allows you to browse anonymously. open your browser and tap the 3 dots on the bottom right to get started

Ha you tried to search on BlackBerry world? If you can't find one you like, try amazon appstore. Just type 'vpn' without the quotes a you should get suggestions

Both apps are on your device already

How much call log, Text messages and emails th saved on the device is a function of available internal memory and its dynamic

If you have many apps installed and use up a large chunk of the 16gb internal memory, the phone will be optimizing by deleting old call logs and text messages

Advise: free up as much space as you can. Uninstall apps you don't use. Save your pictures, music and videos on a SD card

Ollah1,

Your opinion or my opinion on what's going to happen or what should happen doesn't matter. You're not in any position to influence the company.

Most of your analysis and conclusions are flawed

You're entitled to your views but I still insist that this thread is not for airing views and opinions but for providing help and support to BlackBerry 10 users

Stay with facts only. Feel free to create a commentary thread to share your views

I trust this 'post of mine' will be the last post on this issue

tunnyflow:
I like your arguments with @ollah1 cos it's not insulting but educating most of us... but as for me I'm not happy BlackBerry moved onto the android platform... I hate android ehn.. cos it lags at the end no matter how hard they try to manufacture it and the security is crazy... I wonder the phone I will use if they stop manufacturing sha

The company is exploring options. making a BlackBerry hardware running android OS sounds strange to most people BUT the truth is that the new BB10 OS actually has the same origin as the android OS (one of the reason it was easy to make it possible to install android apps)

BlackBerry the company has lost a lot of market/ consumer goodwill over the year and despite the BB10 OS being better and more secure than any other OS, most people who used the old BBOS are still just too traumatized to even check out BB again to know that the OS is now different and that has also carried over to app developers who are the ones who make any OS tick

the future is not cast in stone, anything can happen
