Hello, smiley how y'all doing? Merry christmas! Err, I just got a blackberry Q10 and i've been having issues connecting the internal storage to a computer (both windows 7 and cool. It's been quite frustrating. Could anyone help please? I'll be grateful. Gracias.
Why do you want to connect the internal storage to a computer? Get a microsd card and use the file manager app to move things around

Good evening house,salute 4 all d bosses and others,
Just got a BB z3 today. I'd luv to know if anyone has any idea on how I can cut my existing sim to micro size? Secondly, I have an active bb subscription on the sim, can it work on the new z3? Furthermore what's d first thing to do? Thanks
There's a sim cutter for reducing a mini sim to a microsim or you can do a sim swap and request for a micro sim

So long as your existing bis subscription is on airtel or glo, then you'll be able to continue using it on your new device

I noticed I have to restart my Z10 before any new contact I save starts showing. Also I have been trying to delete some contacts but they still don't go even after restarting the phone. What could have caused this and is there any solution to it? I'm on v10.2.1.3442
No, you don't need to restart your phone for new contacts to start showing. If someone calls you with a number not in your address book and you add the number to your contact it starts showing immediately

If your contacts are saved on the simcard then you have to delete them from the simcard otherwise they will still show in your contacts app unless you tell the app to not display sim contacts

Contacts saved on your email must also be deleted from the web email to stop showing on your BlackBerry

The contacts app is an aggregate of your contacts from everywhere

I've been using this phone for over 3 months now so it's not like I click on a link without know. At least if I do, it won't hav to open in a new tab except I instruct it to.
There's a setting in the browser under security and privacy that defaults to preventing pop up windows...did you by any chance alter that setting to allow pop ups?

What you're talking about the way you're talking about it is actually a significant security risk if it is true your browser opens links without your approval.. I have not experienced it on those and that's why I'm skeptical about the picture you're painting the way you're painting it

I will never agree with the bolded..

Haba.. comparing dual-core to corei5.. there is God oo
I think you should be cautious what you disagree with and what you agree with when it comes to Apple.

Apple doesn't build hardware and then build software...they build an integrated unit that happens to have hardware and software components

Did you know the iPhone 6 & 6+ are believed to run on a dual core processor clocked at only 1.8ghz but they have outperformed all quad-core and octa-core devices in virtually all benchmark tests that are dependent on the cpu?

The only way that could happen is that apple builds their latest os specifically for the hardware in their latest device and everything runs like one unit as opposed to androids built in bits and pieces for all sort of hardware permutations

Hello peeps, how do I stop my bb browser from opening links on its own? This happens when I touch the screen to scroll. Sometimes it opens nairabet and at other times opens dating sites
Loollll....your browser doesn't open links on its own..if you don't touch the link the browser won't open it

You just need to make sure the tip of your finger is touching what you want

No worries though, you should get the hang of touchscreen sensitivity in a day or two of use

So if it has blackberry world I am safe? You remember the difference between 9900 n 9930 then abi? Remember the latter crashes easily n not strong but look very similar n has bb world or App store as it was called then... Shed more light pls
Bold 9900 & 9930 are both genuine BlackBerry devices. They were made for different network types...gsm and cdma respectively

Those who used the 9930 on gsm networks would have experienced mixed results

pls guys irrespective of cost (extra money to part with) would u prefer a z30 over a note 4. pls be sincere, just want ur candid opinion. want to buy either of them, just want the best in both durability and performance.
Z30 and galaxy note 4 are two different paradigms in mobile technology. Forget the hardware and specs, the main discussion when you mention those two devices in the same sentence is the operating system

The fact that you mention the two devices in the same sentence tells me you're not really into technology...you just want a device that works and gives you call, text, Internet, social media and instant messaging capabilities...right?

The iPhone was created for folks like you.

I can tell you that peer pressure might prevent you from enjoying a BlackBerry if your friends are not BlackBerry users and the galaxy note 4 will overwhelm you with its unlimited apps and customization capabilities

I'll be happy for you to get the z30 but the easiest way to go for you is the iPhone

Please to the gurus in the house... How can I identify a fake Z30 at first n careful glance if there is a fake Z30... I want to get it from someone but wanna be careful... U know d money no easy... You can use pics if needed please
All genuine BlackBerry have a pin and they have BlackBerry world.

If you pay for a BlackBerry let the seller start the phone and open BlackBerry world on the device...not amazon, not Google store or any funny name...the name of the BlackBerry appstore is 'BlackBerry world' only genuine BlackBerry devices can have access to that appstore

@reaky and @Mykcool
How dyu guys use dis Blend? Dyu blend with ur lappy?
Cos it seems worthless wen ur blending with a tablet. Even wit my Hi-speed H+ data transfer, it lags greatly on d tab, infact it's almost unusable. It's better on a lappy cos probably u use a wired connection. D only solution I guess is to connect both d tab n bb via wifi n dat involves an extra fon or router. Hv u guys tried blending with a tab? so I'll b sure wat d problm is..
I have blend on my laptop and I connect via mobile network. I have not noticed a lag in connection

I installed blend on my galaxy tab before I got on 10.3 but the screen of the tab got damaged and I have not used blend on it yet so I can't comment on how it will play out.

My guess will be that you use Wifi connection for tabs otherwise you'll be doing cellular to cellular if your tab is the type that uses a simcard

Not sure blend can install on the playbook

For basics, I need to knw exactly wat it is and how it works and the gains and risks involved.. Pls som1 kindly help.. Tnx in adv.
You don reach here grin

Savings account of any kind is ridiculous in terms of returns.. irrespective of the name the bank calls it

Treasury bills are low risk govt securities that give a decent return (up to 13% at times) in Nigeria is exchange for locking your money away for 90, 180 or 365 days..of course you can break the investment in between at a penalty

I don't expect perfect Beta OS.

Mode of connection to blend also matters, surely a user with WiFi or USB or Cellular data connection to blend will surely have different result in speed and battery.
Sure the mode of connection matters and will impact your battery differently.

USB is best for your battery because your phone gets charged as you're connected

Wifi is next because your phone is on the same Wifi as your tab or desktop or laptop and data exchange is faster over the LAN

Mobile means your data has to travel over the web to get to your devices

Since I started using the passport, I have only connected via mobile network from the passport to blend on my laptop. I deliberately leave the passport on mobile data even though I have fast Wifi at home and I have not noticed any strain on my battery
