Hi all,

I was wondering if any of the BlackBerry faithful ever have any issues with sending items such as videos via MMS on their BlackBerry devices?

Once in a while when a friend sends a video to me or I send one to someone else, the quality is just downright awful. I can barely make out the video in some cases.

I don't use WhatsApp, BBM doesn't allow videos of any decent length so the only other option I have is email which very close friends find strange.

I don't know if this is a BlackBerry issue or a network issue? I don't recall seeing too many complaints about it on CB so I dunno?

Thx

I would like to compile those apps and its paths which are eating too much internal memory.

- whatsapp(android) is storing huge files such as
messageStore-2018-01-17.1.db
In misc/whatsapp/backup
Media in misc/android/whatsapp/media
Solution: manually delete/move files to external

Which one have u detected? Remedy/Mitigation actions?

Wanted to write these words long time ago.. but it seems that the anger wasn't yet ready to explode.. it did now..
Never seen a company leave out its' loyal customers like BlackBerry.. first the Play Book then OS 6,7 and recently the OS10 clients..
Facebook, Dropbox, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and even BBM... these are among what I use that have gone till now... don't know if there are other apps that joined the party.. how could they do that??? Even BBM : not even a notice pushed to BB10 users with their lousy migration rules???!!!!!!
And to their surprise: we customers are still clinging to our beloved OS BB10 and trying to work around this fight against us with all what we can think of... everyone is thinking of a way to still manage to operate these apps one way or another!!!! And again : to their surprise: some are succeeding and sharing their work- around ideas with others..
Not even backstreet companies have done that harm to their customers like BlackBerry did.. to these officials of the company that I once loved: YOU ARE GOING DOWN NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES...HISTORY SAYS THAT...

Dear Mods

Please remove this thread if found ineligible.

The idea is to seek out external help for unlocking/modification of BB10 OS to accommodate updated Android APIs/framework for greater/better android apps support on BB10 devices.

This might help with better performance and greater compatibility of Android apps/services.

PS: I am not a developer.

Thanks
Adi

I have read repeatedly on the forums that Android apps can not run headless in the background and also Google Play Services do not work on BB10. So how do Android Apps like Whatsapp, Telegram etc. receive instant notifications about new messages without being opened?

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have searched a bit for the answer to this and I haven't been able to find an answer to this exact question.

I have a Passport SE with Hub10 on it. Some of you may recall this software, released only through the Beta Zone, which enables a dark-themed Hub.

I am deciding to finally switch from my Passport (back) to my Z30 as my daily driver. Because the Z30 has an OLD screen, having a pure black background not only saves energy, but also makes bedtime reading/replying to Hub items a lot less strainful.

Problem is, Hub10 has *long* since been removed from the Beta Zone. The developer has not responded to my messages on here, on Twitter, or on either of his Gmail accounts. I've offered to pay him for the file and everything.

Which leads me to my question to you. Is there any way I can move this application from one phone to another without him sending me the .bar? And if it involves using a desktop, can this be done on a Mac? (I don't have access to any PCs).

Thanks much!

Hello,

Is there a foolproof way of telling a completely native app from one that has been ported over by the developer? Perhaps somewhere deep in the settings that I'm missing?

Thanks!

Goodbye HUB integration T.T it's horrible to get used to something and then being private from it.

I have tried to side load and install from Google Play.

ebay is forcing you to upgrade to there current app version 5.16.1.2

According to the description the app requires android 5.0 and higher.

I did install an older version of the app, but when you open it, still requires the upgrade to newer. I can't proceed past that screen.

Is there a work around for this?

Thank You!

I'd love to know if you regularly use and like a certain Android browser on your BB10 device. The BB10 browser mostly still works, but as we all know not well for many sites now. I love the Opera browser on my Sailfish phone. But I've tried several versions/flavors on BB10 and I get a lot of freezes. Firefox is more stable, but slow, and I dislike the interface (too many steps to navigate). I'd like to know what's working for you.

Hi Community !

I'd like to setup "Wifi audio pipe through" at home, cause my Q5 has an excellent (headphone out) sound, and my home speaker lacks Bluetooth aptX codec, only SBT;

SBT sound quality is not as good as aptX, and Bluetooth reliability is very poor, so I'm going to setup an alternative setup :)

To pipe audio, my idea is to use "netcat" aka nc on the "source computer" and on the bb q5, the "wifi receiver".

I think I'll be able to cope with network adressing thanks to mDNS and .local domain.

But I need more information about piping audio to /dev file on Neutrinos.

Do you have some hints ? Which /dev file may I use to cat audio to ? which audio format are supported ?

Thanks for any tip on the subject.

Best Regards,

Long life to BB Hackers !

I have a Z10, OS 10.3.3.1463. For some reason I cannot receive texts from a few of my contacts. It started with one, now its up to 4 that I know of, out of a hundred or so. I can send them texts just fine but I do not get their replies and nothing shows up in the chat, including my messages that went out OK. All previous texts are cleared. WHY?

My father's Z30 gets an SMS from 1430 after rebooting his phone. When he opens the SMS it reads: "You have a message to recover. Press click on the following button to download it. - Download now"

When you click on it, a further message indicates the SMS could not be recovered.

No matter that it gets erased, it always comes back after any reboot, so it's quite annoying.

Any input and fix on this bug, short of doing a factory reset?

10.3.3.3057

I just noticed that during at least the automated email setup a blackberry server connects to the target email server independently of the device.

It then proceeds to successfully authenticate against the imap service.

The activity was seen in the mail server logs as unexpected connections while tracing the expected connections.

The ip address resolved to:

68-171-232-3.rdns.blackberry.net [68.171.232.3]

in this case. There are probably multiple such servers.

Having the device pass your email credentials to a blackberry server without disclosure is just not cool. Especially for a company that sells/sold itself on their great security.

Note that this was not a BIS/EXCHANGE setup but a plain jane IMAP account.

Now, if someone says this only happens during automated setup, I only resorted to the automated setup because advanced setup is not working!

I see the connects, then the popup tells me that it is not working. That is the height of bogosity as well as the inability to have the device just use user provided settings without checking as an option. Some people do know what they're doing.

And if someone wants to suggest that the email server is at fault, well it is a Mdaemon server which is sold by Alt-N which is a Blackberry subsidiary.

and again .... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Hello,

I updated to .apk version of Whatsapp to my Passport, but I can't get the sounds and green light as I'd customized.

Is there any way to accomplish this task successfully?.

I uninstalled, re- installed but it's not working as I liked.

Comments, suggestions and ideas are welcome.
