This patch is needed if your Blackberry OS version is  10.3.2.2876 After an  Android App was installed on a Blackbery 10 (BB10) smartphone, if deleted/uninstalled the application icon is removed but the application remains installed.  This takes up space and attempts to reinstall and upgrade the app will fail. Steps Using your BB10 device, browse to http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/39879918 Blackberry World will open Install update Once it is installed, restart phone ( DO NOT CLICK OPEN ) Once the phone is restarted the update is completo. (Give the phone a few minutes to finalise the update before installing/deleting any new apps) Reference http://support.blackberry.com/kb/articleDetail?articleNumber=000037772

In Part 1 and Part 2  we looked at a number of features that made me love Blackberry 10, In Part 3 we continue by looking at a few more. 9. Multi-Tasking  Active frames. When a user returns to the home screen from within an application, the application is minimized into a so-called "Active Frame". An Active Frame is a miniaturized window of the application which keeps running in the background. A user can return to such an application by tapping on the Active Frame. External Display while checking email or playing another video In this 2013 video Deepak Maharaj demonstrates the Z10 playing a video on the external screen while playing another video on the phone itself.  While that is happening he shows the ability to visit the hub, compose email etc with no lag. Here is a comparison between a Z10 running  BB10 vs Samsung Note 4 and another discussion on multi-tasking. File Manager ( demo ) Out of the box, BB10's file manager has got to be one of the bes

In part 1 , I spoke about the hub, gestures and meeting mode. Today we continue by looking at a few more. 4. Blackberry Blend (10.3.1) ( View Blend Demo ) Even in its unfinished state, it has effectively replaced my email desktop client and allowed me to stay connected and productive. It is unified connection on the desktop. Connect to your phone over Wi-Fi (meaning you could leave it at home charging) or via USB and work on/from/via your phone.   From your desktop (PC/Tablet) you can respond to BBM, Email, SMS right there. Additionally you get message alerts and you can see who is calling, messaging or email you all on your desktop while at work or play. There is no need to touch the phone except for making calls. (If Whatsapp was integrated into the hub that would be awesome. It is possibly one reason why Whatsapp wanted BB10 dead. Then once you turn off Blend on the Desktop/Tablet it’s all gone. 5. Keyword adapts, predictive based on usage and style ( View Keyboard demo ).

BB10 will likely go the way of Symbian OS, WebOS and a host of other mobile operating systems. Here I share a few reasons while I like and appreciate Blackberry 10. 1. The Interface and Gestures ( See more ) I have found the gesture-based navigation intuitive. Simple example, you swipe up to wake your device, no need to press any button. How many persons have worn out the power button on their Android devices?  The ability to navigate between applications on the BB10 seems some much better and easier than on the iPhone and way better than on Android (before Lollipop). I will mention other gestures as I go on. There are some gestures/actions I had hoped would have come over from the Playbook OS. These include the flick to close a program instead of clicking a 'x' and the restart or stand-by on-screen option on the battery icon instead of the power button to restart. The video below highlights a few of the gestures. 2. The Hub, The Hub, the Hub and notifications ( View H
