BlackBerry Smartphones Priv: Updated Android OS how much?

Hello.

I am interested in buying a Blackberry priv.

However, the Android OS updates are important to me.

I see the Priv comes with L and is now extensible m. of specific plans to provide N for the Priv?

Well if it takes until next year some time. But to find out what it certainly is, frankly, the difference between buying an or not.

Any info, guess or otherwise he rejoice greatly

As a side note, I believe that there is a gap in the market here for Blackberry. At the current stage, Apple are always updated the OS on their phones/tablets dating back to 2012 (iPhone 5). Four years of OS updates! The closest I've seen in the world Android is the features of Google that are guaranteed three versions of Android - that they ship with and two other + security updates.

If Blackberry could match updates features of Google (at least three) or even better, to match Apple, Blackberry Android device to its original investment seems excellent quality / price.

What are your thoughts?

No, Google just guarantee 24 months of updates of new major versions of Android. A friend uses a Nexus 5 without brand, but will I not Nougat Android. It receives security updates (and about 1-2 weeks before I get them on DTEK50), but we are both using Marshmallow for the moment.

Another thing to consider is the fact that "Powered by Android BlackBerry" is not original Google Android. They have made many changes to make it much safer. It must first be converted to the new version of Android before it can be published. Waiting for Alcatel operate on the DTEK50 (which is almost an Idol 4) won't be enough. Updated the PRIV is even more complex because no partner will help the material part of the new programming software.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv - updates in the game... store?

    I've read about updates online via game store.  Is there something that we do to check the updates in the store, or its all pretty automatic?

    OS updates will be get pushed automatically, but you can check manually. For example, if the update is online at 12:01, it may take a few hours before it grows automatically on your device in order to manually check to get it immediately.

    App updates such as the BlackBerry Hub, keyboard, launcher, etc come from the game store. These must be automatically updated on your device according to the parameters

    The reason for this division is so that we can update the various BlackBerry applications when necessary without having to do a full update of the OS.

    I hope this helps!

    Method 1:

    • Open the Blackberry Desktop Software and connect your device to your PC with the USB OEM cable and without inserting the battery.
    • You will get three options: try again, update or cancel; Click Refresh.
    • Once, it is at the stage of initialization of 'pocket', insert the battery.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second method:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv backup Contacts on Google

    Hello everyone

    I use a Blackberry since 2002, but clearly have some gaps in my understanding of technology!  At the moment I have to go to the help of my beautiful PRIV and transferred my 2000 + contacts from my old to my new Priv Q10 I don't use my head.  When the choice to import my contacts from Google - I chose to make them all "local contacts" only - since I used an Office Outlook rather than Gmail and didn't know that I would now have no way to back up my contacts.  Now, I want to download the new OS - but don't want to do until I backed up my device - especially my Contacts.  How can I move all of my current contacts to Google (who doesn't have a few contacts inside) and save my PRIVATE.  A big thank you to those who help with entry. GigiatTO

    If I understand correctly you have all your contacts on your PRIVATE, right?

    First you'll need a google account , and I guess you have already.

    Go to the Contacts app

    You should see your contacts list and category "Local Contacts" should be displayed above.

    Tap 3 dots (...) in the upper right corner

    Select import/export

    Now tap export to storage

    Confirm the operation.

    Now, your contacts are saved in the internal memory of your PRIV.

    You will need to "file manager" see/find this file, or you can connect your PRIVATE to your PC and copy that newly created... file .vcf on your desktop.

    That you have copied this file to your PC

    Open the browser and go to google.com

    In search type: google contacts

    Click on the link and enter your credentials if requested

    Once there, on the left side you should see button 'more '.

    When you click on it, there will be more options and you need to ' import/export '.

    He points to your file saved on the PC and it will start to transfer your information.

    * Some people have a lot of elements saved in contacts, such as date of birth, address, info from facebook, and so on.  I don't know how much info will get transfer, but should phone numbers and name.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv - connection to the computer as a drive with cable...

    You can connect the Priv a PC with the cable to access as a drive, especially for access to the SD card?   I had assumed would be immediate, easy, but the laptop does just not see it connected...?

    Some good news.

    Finally, I can get it to connect, but better as "Mount SD card", do not use Android file transfer.

    Certainly, there are only going to transfer different files Android app link provided in the MTP option in the phone under settings, buffer, top right options - USB connection to the computer, I had to kind of work, but I think it's a one-way arrangement therefore does not allow fiddling with files or data on the SD card.

    With the option of mounting SD, its worth knowing that the phone is not yet recognized, you need to pass options while its connected, so when switching back to Mount SD, it appears suddenly!

    I managed to move some files autour, and if I drop in the DCIM folder, Camera leader, they then appear within the app Photos, without the need to got to the unit records.

    Is worth knowing when you're connected, more, but not all of them simply disappear with the handset, but all are in their proper place, moved or otherwise, 30 seconds or more after the disconnection.

    Question NEXT, related to this, but could start anew thread; In my photos, I always kept a photograph or a scan of my passport, driving licence and stuff, amazing how much it is useful.  Priv does not read this map file, even if its same region in Photos.  The Passport can be pdf, is it possible to move files between the laptop and Priv autour so that it can read the docs and other things or is it possible to create a file on the SD card where the docs can be submitted and read by the priv...?  Indeed, where are the docs on Priv?  Ive schedules of my son on the map, but they do not seem to appear anywhere in the private and they are the .docx files.

    Thank you.

  • 9860 blackBerry Smartphones software update... IN CASE OF FAILURE

    Like a good little BlackBerry user, I followed the prompt to load a software update.  He asked the question, "Are you ready to be two hours without your phone or emergency access?"  I said, Yes, and he began "backup of your data.  Unfortunately, it is stuck at 6% in "progress in the backup set".  I tried turning off and re-boot and it always gets stuck at 6%.  If I'm doomed?  What I can do.  Will reads now and pray that he will magically fix itself from one day to the next.  If not, then I hope you smart people in these support forums will have the answer for me.  Thanks in advance for your help.     Stephani

    Is it just a matter of getting a bad or a phone that has not been produced recently? Or PRIVs all will have this problem, even if they are not immediately, because of poor design or manufacturing?

    For backup of your contacts from your Yahoo account, you will need to disable wireless synchronization.

    Go to contacts > Tap on the BlackBerry key menu > options > look for the e-mail account > tap on it, you will see the wireless sync if it is on you will see a control on the right uncheck it > click on the BlackBerry Menu button to memorize.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones only restore BBM contacts - how?

    Hello

    How can I restore ONLY my BBM contacts using the desktop software?  I looked through the choice of data but none like the right. I have a Torch 9800 and I use the latest office software. (6.0 bundle 1907)

    I use my BB especially for work it is setup with connection of mail company so last week when I had problems they have wiped my BB and now my email and business contacts sync works well again but I lost all my BBM contacts.

    In the restore office option, I use the "select parameters and device data" to select data to restore, but I cannot easily determine what type of data I should be restore so I didn't wipe my e-mail contacts existing or other parameters. Given that I had about 60 BBM contacts fields that show a counter that is close (and therefore looks promising) to the correct quantity are: Messages, folders, store of Trusted keys, stored key pocket, and recent contacts.

    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

    See this KB for a list of all databases on the BB:

    • KB03974 List of all databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

    The appropriate injector is there. It's a shame you didn't otherwise save your BBM contacts... BBM itself offers the possibility to make a backup of contacts... I've always found that more useful than the ability to backup/restore of desktop software.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones no update is available for Curve 9360

    Hello, Im from India, I have a curve 9360 who currently heads the 7.0 version, I want to update 7.1 I checked via the BB of windows platform software, but it says "no update is avilabe" Please help me... Send me your replay valueable to my e-mail "[personal information deleted]."

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Based on your description, I can only imagine that you tried only the automatic methods of obtaining an updated operating system. These methods are controlled by your operator, no BB, as to what is available to you. If, for example, BB was released at the level of the OS you want, but your carrier delays in approval, then you will be offered through these automatic methods. Fortunately, there are tricks to circumvent this (assuming that some other carrier comes to present the OS level you want, of course). The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    Should I stay with the current version or upgrade to the new version?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Only you can decide what you should and shouldn't do. As a general rule, it is good to update the operating system more recent available because this would have features, fixes and features not in older versions. If the OTA update does not offer you anything, then you can force it via PC (you can't do this on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
