Updates to blackBerry Q10 compass?

I use the paid version of Star Tracker 1.6.1.1016 but have noticed lately that it all works 'a bit' is not as reliable 100% as it used to be. i.e. the nightsky objects which alignment correctly can be now several degrees off when displayed on screen for example. hold the phone up to the Moon and instead align with the Moon in the sky - it shows the moon as being more high/low/East/West etc. of its present location sometimes completely off the screen. I went through the process of calibration of the compass, and indeed, an icon appears on the screen indicating that calibration takes place and that it is complete.

Logic suggests that the compass on the phone is not calibrated correctly with the app or vice versa. I have the latest version of Star Tracker itself, but with no new BONES carrier (Canada Koodo) update from 10.3.2.2474 - I wonder if there is a refresh/update option enforcement compass itself? Other applications that use co-location services, including the "send my location" feature are very accurate - to the point of identifying correctly (in +/-3 meters) my position within a building.

I had a Q10 SQN100-1 OS 10.3.2.2639, version of the 10.3.2.2474 software, radio version10.3.2.2640 and I don't know if this is relevant, but bands operational capacity of UMTS is 1,2,5,6 and LTE bands capacity is 2,4,5,17

Simple English thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

In fact, I don't think it is as you say - the compass app. rather, I think it's the GPS receiver, coupled with the accellerometer and other internal devices, which is responsible for the data necessary for the compass with many others (including your Star Tracker app) app.

But, the answer to your question is not... unless BBWorld offers an update for various applications BBWorld provides to your device, then there is no way to force an update of those. And the GPS is a core component, wrapped up to I believe in the core of the operating system itself, not in the applications of any add-on.

Your operating system is not old... but no new marks. There have been three versions of BB since the version you're using, but I have no way of knowing if the issue you report is a known bug at all, and if so, if the fix is included in all the most recent OS releases. But we encourage you to read the OS here release notes to see if something will be useful:

The fundamental question is, what has changed? With these devices, things don't normally just degrade over time, some intermediate event becomes rather due to new behaviors. An update of the OS, a new application, equipment, etc. are all possible intermediate events which could be due to the behavior you're seeing. He liked anything happening?

It could also just be the Star Tracker app - it's totally plausible that they have bugs in their application which are attributable to problems that you see. But, of course, only they can answer that question for you.

There are actions you can try, but most of them will be destructive for the data and configuration that you have on your device. They involve things like a RAG on the device, a refill of OS and other tedious steps... with only a hope of fixing your issue, zero with no guarantee.

One last thought... you did the most basic repair attempt? Restarting the device?

Let us know how you want to proceed.

  • BlackBerry Blackberry Q10 Assistant on automatically - keyboard does not work

    Hello

    I have my phone Blackberry Q10 now for 1 month, and since a few days the problem has turned up, randomly Blackberry companion light automatically. Sometimes visible through the open window, App - but sometimes also without this, but you recognize because the keyboard no longer works. This can happen when you type a message.

    The wizard then opens whenever I press the power button to lock the display so that the screen doesn't lock.

    In all this is very annoying and makes the phone in time allmost impossible to use.

    The solution only little time that I found is to close the wizard via the app Manager, but then it starts itself after maximum 1 h and the problem continues. I tried to disable all the functions of the wizard, but it does not help.

    I would be very happy for any help with this problem. For example, is it possible to delete/disable the wizard?

    Best regards

  • BBM blackBerry Q10 pine got changed

    Hello, everyone!

    My problem with the BBM Pin code is as follows - a few years ago I had the BlackBerry 9900, and I got a pine BBM assigned to this device. Later, this device was physically destroyed and I started to use BBM on Samsung Galaxy (the same PIN BBM).

    Recently, I purchased BlackBerry Q10 and started using BBM with the same PIN (from BlackBerry 9900). It wasn't a problem, until that I've updated BBM a few days ago and then I noticed that my BBM pin has changed.

    Does anyone know why it happened and what to do with this issue? I mean, finally, I will create a list of contacts with my new BBM PIN code, but there is no guarantee that this change suddenly won't happen again.

    Thank you very much for your advice.

    Dmitri

    Hi Dimitri

    Good question, but so many numbers makes me headache lol just kidding. Unfortunately, this is not how it works. Different way with numbers of mail or telephone in our map. Blackberry PIN is connected with a single device and cannot be moved to another device. Your previous BBM with 123456 contacts are safe and always with you in your new PIN BBM 654321. To your new customers/friends you must inform your PIN or invite them.

    Technology can create something new. You can always tell them your new pin code otherwise you must continue to use your old device.

    Kind regards.

  • BlackBerry® Q10 Q10 email does not

    I got my Blackberry Q10 for a few months and was in love with it... until recently when I started having issues by e-mail.  Currently, I'm completely unable to send mail from my POP3 e-mail address business - which completely defeats the purpose of having a smartphone.   I updated the software, rebooted or shut down cellular and wifi... nothing seems to work.

    I receive emails on my smartphone and send using GMAIL, but I can't send through my POP3 server.   My email works fine on my desktop.  What is particularly annoying, is that it does not give an error message does not seem to do anything.  NO checkmark, just an envelope which makes it look like a sent email received.

    Anyone else having this problem?  Any resolution?  Please, I want to continue to support BB but I need help.

  • BlackBerry Q10 transfer old data blackberry device BlackBerry 10 device, without old blackberry device again

    Hello
    I recently bought a new BlackBerry Q10, I got a 9790 "BOLD" of BlackBerry OS 7 before that and I had backed it up in BlackBerry Desktop Software. I had no knowledge that BlackBerry 10 devices do not work with BlackBerry Desktop Software, so I sold my Bold 9790 and then bought a Q10. I need to retrieve all the data from my old 9790 "BOLD" to my Q10, but unfortunately does not work with BlackBerry Desktop Software Q10. If I download BlackBerry link it will ask to connect to my old camera to transfer files.

    So basically, I need to transfer my old phone to the new backup file.
    Please help me. Thank you.

    First of all, the device is released for more than a year and a half.  BlackBerry has put the information out there.  I easily found the information below with a quick Google search that brought up this article, KB33322

    While it has not yet been updated in order to take account of the last update for the link, I made a few minor changes to the instructions to join the same options in the new version of the link.

    Multimedia files stored on the internal memory of the device will be transferred if you check the box "Multimedia files stored on the internal memory."  Multimedia files stored under the content on the old appliance store will not.

    Here are the instructions:

    1. Connect the 10 BlackBerry smartphone to the computer via the USB cable.
    2. On the left side of the BlackBerry connection screen, click on the name of the smartphone BlackBerry 10.
    3. Select restore device > Legacy device backup files.
    4. Select the desired backup file.
    5. Select the data to be restored in the smartphone BlackBerry 10. To restore data to all supported, select the checkbox restore all data .  Choose the data to restore select Custom Restore.
      Note: for a description of data BlackBerry smartphone, refer to KB03974.
    6. Click restore.

  • BlackBerry Blackberry Q10 ID deleted with Blackberry Protect to the

    Hello

    I do not own the Blackberry device, but my father and I think he did something wrong. He asked me to write to you to help you, because he can't use his device because it deleted the Blackberry account. On October 23, he bought Blackberry Q10 and on 26 October, he deleted an account (he had some problems with the reception of e-mails and he thought that it might help). He also said that the problem might be related with Blackberry Protect. What can I do to make him his device working properly?

    Greetings from Poland and thanks for any help.

    You can try. I don't think he'll do good. Why BlackBerry would be to blame when they provide a big warning that says do not remove the BBID if it is connected to a device?

  • BlackBerry Q10:(depuis un client fidèle)

    It saddens me to know that my BlackBerry Q10 does not support most of the applications that I used on my previous 9900. And to be honest, I've always used all BlackBerry bold made and have always been a big fan. If I can move to the iphone 4, 5 and currently 5 ive always ran out of typing on a BlackBerry and this is what made me bought Q10...

    Why cant you just have it support most of the applications? focus on trends instead of going to halfway? I mean, I would buy all of the bold in the future and the Passport will be beautiful too... but... go a step ur close to ios and Android... Why not throw some * bleep *?

    And it's not BlackBerry who decides what apps will be build on its phones, is application developers who decide for what platforms they will develop. If it was BlackBerry, all applications in the world would be available for BlackBerry phones.

    See you soon.
