Does ur z3 get hot and if it does how did you solve it. Mine when it comes on it get a lil warm at the top left near d camera, I haven't browsed wit it yet because it is new. I just want to know if that is normal and if there are things I can do to make my battery last longer when I start browsing. With it..

If your device is new, then it's going through the setup phase and downloading so many things at the same time...I don't think it is anything for you to worry about

The mobile network might not be able to keep up with the demands and your radio has to work extra hard to pull data

BluePearls:
how much walcolm? can i get your pin so we could talk better?

pin:2BE8D94D

i'm talking about download with BB Native browser

CALLING ALL 10.3 OS Users

Are you guys still able to restart downloads that are interrupted?

i am using official 10.3 and i noticed that my downloads restarts from the beginning instead of continuing from where it stopped

BluePearls:
Anyone with a Z10 for sale?

Z3

this is not an MTN thread

ausdy:
brother pls I'm very interested to know more about this very issue as I have few shares with them and I don't think I can buy this offer. Pls can you shed more light on the (dilution) matter? Thanx so much.

dilution means your percentage holding will be reduced....for me the only advantage rights issue brings is that it reduces my cost of purchase...unfortunately, Oando has priced this right issue above the current market price which is not a good sign

i will rather buy the no of units i'm entitled to on the floor of the exchange than buy my rights at a higher price

Opeyemi5:
Pls who as an idea of the price I can unlock a Q10

singularjay:

It's good to be here

Big ups to you all for coming back often to help each other and helping this thread get to 300 pages

Happy New Month and Happy End Year felicitations in advance

See you on page 500

Smhart1:
thanks...... right now am thinking of selling off the phone

selling off the phone doesn't solve the problem, it only transfers it to another person...returning it if you can, will mean they seller sends it to an engineer who can fix the problem

[size=28pt]Page 297 has my ongoing review of the passport[/size]

Did you load a leaked OS? If you loaded a leaked OS that's meant for another model, you'll be having a wrong radio

Solution : use BlackBerry link to restore your phone or load the right leak with the right radio for your model

Z10 has many models so pay attention when downloading a leak

Smhart1:
my network is on 2G and I don't have many application on it. as for the issue of switching off my data, I really don't like it but I make sure I switch it off before going to bed. this phone reall suck. thanks anyway

It's possible you have a defective unit and you should return it if you're still under warranty. Data problem in glo is not so bad that it will make your device unusable

Smhart1:
and?

Listen to @harrysterol

Smhart1:
network: Glo
data plan : comonth

glo data network has been suffering from the massive attack of BB10 devices
3gb for 1k is too good to pass up and the number of BB10 users using glo has been increasing

harrysterol:
tif 1 passport cme mke I give u my z30 u fit block walcolm for him.church na der b him selling point

looolllll..twice bitten forever shy...stealing my passport is going to be harder than putting a gorilla in a headlock

Chuksworld:
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?

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

ifemi25:
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

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

Smhart1:
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

Sorry about that. What network and which data plan are you on?

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

Emrich:
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.

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

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

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

ebner70:
Upgrading my os taking nearly 1Gb, please is this normal for Z10?

yeah, its not unusual for updates to be as large as 2GB in BB10...

The major purpose of hotpot is to share Internet data. Vpn does a different job

Enter the dragon

hardware failure...did it drop by any chance recently?

tziz:
Its sold out nw but if you have d time to keep checking, it'll go on sale again. D mega sales are timed.

guy, that thing na lie...the cheapest you can find the passport anywhere in the world today being black Friday is $500 before shipping and tax!!!! so where jumia see the N64500?

chrisgt:
bro the tin is I can make/receive call but I cant browse with it I av check the apn but still not working. and o get q5 also it looks like I av to flash or restore it which I av try bb 10 link but didn't get it don plz help me

BB pins are usually never blocked even when the phone is locked to a carrier. if you can make calls and receive calls then the phone is not locked to any carrier. the other possibility is that the device is a 'not for sale' unit given to developers or the device has been reported stolen to blackberry and pin blocked.

did you buy the device on eBay?
