deejay_harry1: i weep in advance for yhu... ![]() |
Memphisx: Pls I subscribed for the 6gb plan with the code *440*016# but got only 2gb and only1500 was taken of d 3k. Could dis b due to my previous subscription of 2gb which expired but i never sent stop autorenew?you need to send deactivate to 440 to end your current BIS although it wont wipe your data and load another 1500 to make up the 3k and the text bbum3 to 440 to get 6GB that will be added to your current 1.5GB |
Glennfizzllé: I personally love BB, I'm currently using Touch 1 and am lovin it, I haven't used an android extensively but I knw they are quite advanced, but still I don't see how android is better than a BB, to me , It doesn't matter how many apps can run on it, considering the fact that I have several apps on my BB which I hardly ever use. I'm yet to see reasons why I shud leave BB and use some android. Hope someone can take time to break it down for me.your hunch is correct...there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the Google Play and Apple Store for basically everything you could possibly want to do but the truth of the matter is that any one human being wont use more than 20 apps consistently to do everything they want to do those hundreds of thousands of apps available to the android and iPhone ecosystem are therefore different iterations of the same thing.....there are a lot of advantages in that since you have virtually unlimited app options and you wont ever get stuck if you are unhappy with the quality you are getting from one developer, you will easily find an alternative if Blackberry serves the purpose for you, by all means stay with BB and you can now improve your BB experience by upgrading to the all new Blackberry 10 platform that has completely bridged the capability gap between the legacy BB platform and the Android/iOS platforms with raw processing power and sleek OS....videos/music/games/social/IM etc are all a breeze Z10/Q10 and Q5 are the currently available hardware on that platform with Z30 coming soon |
mikelreal: Whats the best mtn data plan for a blackberry q5? Will mtn bis N1500 work?only dedicated BB10 plans work on MTN...regular BIS dont work |
obiscolly: Yh that's what I've been doing so far. But I'll try look up the Google keyboard launcher as you said. Maybe that might help.it will |
cupid4ig: ok guys i have handled and used q5 but i want to get z10 but my fear is the typing with it how good is it or should i just still stick with the q5 cos q10 is bit expnsive? pls z10 user tell me about the keyboard plsthe z10 keyboard is awesome |
That bug has been documented and there's a solution. Look it up |
moonraker: SOrry whats your definition of more mature OS. Cos last time i checked, IOS and some android phones still have that problem. I dont have ai agree with you that the networks here don't do product testing but you have to also understand that testing cost money and if a business is not compelled to improve customer experience especially if that initiative will cost them money, they won't do it....so it might be easy to point the finger at the networks but the underlying problem is the REGULATORS aka Govt in developed economies, the govt stipulates minimum standards and competition pushes the customer satisfaction envelope making it mandatory for networks to ensure their customer's user experience is a good as possible otherwise they will face massive litigations, class action lawsuits and govt penalties. Nigeria on the other hand is a jungle and anything goes |
hi deevah, the problem is a two-pronged problem...on the one hand, the BB10 OS is a completely new OS, it has some teething problems and on the other, the Nigerian telephony system is a bit unorganized as opposed to what you have in developed countries what then happens is this, when you save a number with this format +234-8XX-XXXXXXX, any text message you receive will show the name of the contact but when you receive a call from that contact, the name does not show.....but when you save your contact with the local format 080XXXXXXXX, when you get a call, the name shows but when you receive a text, the name does not show more matured mobile OS platforms have been able to resolve that problem and i expect t will be resolved soon on the BB10 OS |
Text BBUM3 to 440 |
vozkini: Walcolm, am still waiting for your response on the airtel subscription.See my post below walcolm: For airtel, the one I consider most cost effective is their 2+1 unlimited bis plan that gives you 6gb for just 3k and lasts for 3 months |

femside: guys pls I want to subscribe for glo abeg Shay d glo 1k still work for bb10Yes it still works but can be problematic. See my last post |
anitank: Yes dear. What's the APN for GLO pls. The one I have there is blackberry.net which I think is the right one like u mentioned earlierThe apn you have is the right one. Glo bis on bb10 devices in Lagos, abuja and ph tends to be problematic. Data fluctuates in ph and you occasionally get that message The solution is to turn off the network for a few seconds and turn it back on or switch to 2G if you are in Lagos or abuja |
Ufranklin92: U need to set up apn to internet.ng.airtel.com if u are using airtel....it happened to me tooothat's correct...if you are using Airtel...the default apn setting is internet for airtel so you need to manually edit it since a new upgrade essentially wipes your previous settings if you don't do a restore after the upgrade |
vozkini: Na waooo too much stories on this bb10 devices and upgrade. I hope they will survive this issues. Cos it's frustratingwhich operating system doesnt have stories and issues? answer...NONE whatever issue the guy is having has nothing to do with the platform...something must have caused a defect in the upgrade process or the downloaded file had a problem or something and all those are human factor which should not be blamed on the platform |
Ufranklin92: I mean that I upgraded my z10 to the leak version and I couldn't find my videos pictures and music folders and other stuffs....even my file manager...plz helpthat's strange...an upgrade should not do that...i hope you backed up before upgrading and i will suggest you redo the upgrade |
are u using Glo BIS? |
Ufranklin92: i upgraded my bb10 and i cant find so many things now...my gallery and others....i upgraded to the leak version....any helpexpatiate pls |
turn on mobile hotspot on ur BB10 and use your PC to download the file, then use BLACKBERRY LINK to do the upgrade |
Check out Flipboard in BlackBerry World! You can find it at http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/34960888 |
vozkini: @walcolm,Yeah I have been using glo bis for quite a while too and I liked the 3gb data allowance. The reason they are having this challenge now is because they are blocking androids from using their bis and partially blocking BlackBerry 10 to force us to use the expensive dedicated plan. I currently use my airtel BIS on my GS3 but I might make the switch to airtel on my z10 too if glo continues like this |
Which specific applications have you tried to find ? You must set up a payment system to use with your BlackBerry ID and to do that you just need to swipe down from the top while you're in BlackBerry world, tap settings and you should see "payment options" follow the steps to setup |
femside: This s what I get wen I search for update can I update it? I want to know if I wouldn't lose any applications guys pls help meyou can't find a leaked OS by searching official channels...you will only find the last official release 10.2.0.1047 is available in the wild...and i remember dropping the link in a post about 3 weeks ago |
amigos: Pls help me out I can't c my friend request on BBM but I can send requestunder the invite, there are 3 tabs at the top, "Received", "Sent" and "Suggested" the names are self explanatory ![]() you should find invitations under "Received" |
Is anybody else in ph and on the glo comonth plan having data issues or is it peculiar to me? |
tdupsy: please I have a problem. I use aQ10 and my DP has refused to change for over a week now. please what can I do, its really frustrating pls.Update your bbm software |
