Last BB I used was in 2009, but I always wanted to try the new versions as I'm bored of Android and iOS. I like to try different things. Is it too late to switch and not worth it nowadays?

Getting YOHO Sports App for Android 4.4 to work on BB10 OS

$

I recently bought a MS1020 activity tracker from www.wish.geek.com. Although it does have an app to sync stats, the app is not needed. When I first downloaded the app to my blackberry passport, it would open but not find the smart band, so I couldn’t pair it to the app on my phone.

After much searching on Google, I found that a lot of android users were having the same problem. I had thought that it wouldn’t sync because of my blackberry passport phone.

Anyway, if you have purchased a cheap activity tracker and downloaded the app but it won’t work with your bb 10os, here is how I solved it.

Firstly, let me say that the problem with the app not finding my phone, it think, is because the most recent version was for android 4.4 and my passport is only android 4.3. I was able to install an older version of the app, but it was not able to find the watch to pair with it.

I solved this problem by doing the following.

1. From your computer, download the most recent version of the app. (To learn how to do that here is one way and a video to show you... )

2. From your cell phone, open up google play store and download apk editor. (It does not need to be patched). Then install it on your phone.

3. On your BB10 phone, enable Blackberry blend. Now enable it on your computer, provided you already have it on your computer. (If you don’t already have Blackberry blend on your computer, install it.)

4. Once your bb is connected to your computer, transfer the YOHO Sports app that you downloaded on your computer in step 1 to your bb BUT DO NOT try to install it because you won’t be able to.

5. Open apk editor and click on “Select apk from app” and scroll down until you see “YOHO Sports” and click on that.

6. Now click on “Common Edit”. Now scroll down just a bit and under Version Code, put “7”. For Version Name put “1.0.7”. And for Minimum SDK version, change it to “18”. Click SAVE.

7. Now click install. You should now be able to open the app and the app on your phone should now be able to pair or “bound” with your watch.

8. Just so you know, when the smart band and phone app are paired and connected, it drains your phone’s battery fast. So I would suggest not keeping them connected and maybe just connecting them and syncing them in the evening or once a day.

Hope this helps for anyone who is interested.

Bluetooth File Transfer Limited to One Way?

I can transfer files from my Windows 10 laptop no problem to my Passport (10.3.3.3216) but I can't do it the other way around (laptop to Passport).

Any ideas on how to fix this? Does anyone else experience this?

Also, sometimes Passport says it is still connected to my Playbook but it physically can't be and then can't connect to anything else at all. Not to worried about this as it can be cleared with a reset. The one way only file transfer is a pain though.

BB10 Browser - Is It Slowly Being Blocked ?

$

Hi All :

I know I run the risk of a duplicating other threads, but I can't seem to find a post dedicated to the seemingly slow but consistent blocking of the BB10 browser by more and more sites. I have a BB10 Passport running 10.3.3.2137, which I believe is the latest version. I'm assuming with these OS updates, all the security certificates and other access software is being updated to ensure compliance with all the current versions.

I'm now seeing many sites I used to be able to view now saying "network unavailable" and yet other sites (CNN.COM) work fine.

It is the global community slowly turning their back on Blackberry or is it a simple setting I've not set properly ?

Thanks to all who reply !

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody has been able to get a delivery confirmation for their MMS messages when sending photos and such to iOS recipients??

I notice that when I send photos via MMS to people on Android, I will get a D on the message but forwhatever reason I never do with iOS. I am then sometimes wondering if they recipient got it. It will usually be a grey checkmark.

Thanks

Hangouts on BB10 2018

Is HG10 still the best Hangouts app for BB10? It seems to be a bit buggy and doesn't support group chats. I've tried the Cobalt Play Services and Hangouts Android app, but that doesn't seem to be working.
The website is way too slow in every browser.

Adobe Reader: This Document Is Empty (0KB)

I am increasingly having a problem with PDF files. I have to deal with them a fair bit so this is becoming frustrating.

If I download a PDF in the browser or on email, I can view it immediately, without issue. If I try and view the file later I get the error message that "This document is empty (0KB)". When I check in File Manager, the file is indeed 0KB! This can be if I save them to my downloads folder on the internal memory or on the SD card.

This occurs is the majority of PDF files but not all. I have hundreds on my SD card that open fine (manuals for work, etc). I've just looked in File Manager and sorted the downloads folder by size and there are about 20 PDF files that are 0KB.

Any ideas?

I think it isn't Adobe Reader that is the problem but rather the Blackberry OS doing something to the files to make them 0KB.

I recently purchased B10 and I have some Music on the phone that I would like to set as a personalized tone for one of my contacts. When I go to set the ringtone, it will only allow me to go to the ringtone folder and not the music folder. Is there a way to set a mp3 music tone to a specific contact?

Keyboard predictions on BlackBerry 10

Hi all,

Strange situation with my phone the last few days. Certain things that my keyboard used to be able to do such as typing BB and having that auto correct to BlackBerry and than typing mypin and having it display BBM pin don't seem to be working in the sms app. I have no issues with BBM and Crackberry.

Is there a setting I can look into for this? I haven't changed anything on my end.

It's more annoying than anything, any thoughts?

Thanks!

Passport - 10.3.3.2137 incomplete installation

$

Since mid-last month when the OTA notification appeared on my passport (SQW100-1), I tried to OTA update a number of times (445 Mb). No sooner than it flagged that the update was a success, did a notification re-appear urging me to update to 2137.

I then downloaded Sachesi (v2.0.4), and debrick/radio/core for 10.3.3.2137 per link provided in this forum (thank you, by the way), and updated it again. This seems to have worked partially - although the OTA notification still flags up daily, it now says the update file is 34Mb.

I went through the OTA update about 7-10 times to see if the full installation can be done by switching off the mobile network data only, all the mobile network, etc. But the notification continues to appear.

Is there anything I can do without clean installing? I can reinstall BB Link and take a back up if need be, but if possible I would like not to have to take this route. Happy to provide further information.

Thanks in advance.

Long-term Passport use recommendations?

$

Hi,

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to grab myself a refurbished Passport (first BlackBerry device I've owned, initially I'm here for the screen and keyboard). I'm seriously loving it as a tool, and would like to use it for a potentially very long time, so I have a few questions I need to resolve (especially regarding the 2019 upcoming BB10 apocalypse).

1. Let's assume BB10 does not plain stop working in 2020 (i.e. the devices don't turn into bricks, it's just that BBW is now missing and with it the main way to install apps). Let's also assume my device dies for whatever reason, but I have a backup of it in BlackBerry Link. Do I have any reasonably probable shot at restoring my backup onto another refurbished Passport, in the absence of the BlackBerry ID system? (Or to put it another way, is there a way to activate a recently wiped BB10 device without BB ID?)

2. It appears that BB Link backups contain the apps that were present on the device at the time of backup (as well as said apps' documents). Can this be considered insurance against apps disappearing from BBW (and eventually, BBW itself disappearing)? I'm thinking of testing most of the apps that are still present and keeping the good ones around, specifically for future-proofing reasons.

3. I know the battery is stated as sealed, but how definitive is that? Is there any way to replace a nearly-dead battery?

4. Is there anything particularly worrying that comes to mind re: long-term use?

For context, I'm not intending to use my Passport as a phone replacement (I carry both my Passport and an Android phone, currently a Note 4 even though it likely will be replaced within the next year). Instead, I am using it as a productivity/focus/agenda/reading hybrid tool (i.e. distraction-less text processing, calendar management, document visualization, general Internet browsing). This means Internet giants (Facebook, etc.) stopping development for BB10 isn't a problem, at least in the foreseeable future.

Thanks for data!

(I've glanced many many times at the KEY2, but although I might get one eventually, I do think BB10 is just better for the kind of focused workflow I'm looking for.)
