Problems and their possible solutions

AT: I constantly lose contact with the interlocutor, do not receive calls, drops the network. And on the past smartphone everything was fine
ABOUT: These problems may arise due to inaccurate network coverage (especially noticeable in large cities), incomplete compatibility of Russian telecom operators and BB smartphones (MTS in particular) or operation in a "floating" mode 2G-3G-4G .
First, set the mode "2G / 3G only "(better just 2G ) and try to make calls from different places of the locality. Sometimes the disappearance of the signal is treated by a simple replacement of the SIM card with a newer one. As the most recent option is to flash with an autoloader, since normal system updates over the air may fail

AT: I have a device without engraved Russian letters. How can I type the text, not the location of the Russian language?
ABOUT: Starting from OS version 10.3.x , the device supports the input of Russian translit. Details on the location of characters here . To select translit, go to the Language and input>Input language>Add / Remove>choose Russian (Translit)

AT: How can I reduce the sound (or turn it off completely) when I enter numbers on the dialer in the phone application?
ABOUT: There is no complete shutdown, but there are a couple of tricks: each time before dialing, activate the "Silent" mode by briefly pressing the key Q . Also, by going to Sounds and Notifications, you can open the "Silent" mode and customize all notifications in your own way, as in the normal mode.

AT: The subscriber's call sound is very quiet, although the overall volume is almost turned up to the maximum.
ABOUT: Enter Notifications and Calls ->Profile ->Configure app notifications>Phone>Put a comfortable volume level

AT: After updating the system / firmware, I notice the fast discharge of the battery and the smartphone is often heated in idle mode
ABOUT : The system needs stabilization / lapping. This period can last between 2-5 days, the main thing is to reboot the device 1-2 times a day.

AT: I notice a quick discharge of the battery, and I use it only for short calls and using a little browser
ABOUT: You need to open the Application Manager and see in the Battery tab that most consumes battery charge

AT: A high expense is displayed in the application manager.PIM serviceswhat is it and how to deal with it?
ABOUT: PIM services characterize a set of personal information - calendar, contacts, notes, mail, etc. Perhaps there are applications on the smartphone that access it and it is necessary to limit its synchronization or increase the update time interval

AT: In the list of consumed applications,Amazon AppStoreeats up a lot of charge, and I almost never used it
ABOUT: If after 3-6 days (with reboots) power consumption does not change, go to the System Settings ->Security and Privacy ->Parental control ->Enter password (if needed) ->Using Amazon Applications ->the slider is in the Off position (this method has one drawback - you cannot install / update apk applications after it)

AT: I can't see flash in the browser
ABOUT: If the device is on OS 10.3.1 and above, Flash will not work because its official support has been discontinued. How to solve: install the embedded browser clone ( link ) or purchase other browsers

AT: I am restoring to the factory settings and this process has been going on for more than a day / hangs at 99%
ABOUT: It is better to turn off the smartphone, download a stable version of the autoloader firmware ( link ), run the installation file and connect the smartphone. In this case, all data will be deleted and everything will return to the factory settings.

AT: My smartphone suddenly turned off and blinks red. What does it mean?
ABOUT: For the primary identification of the error there is a set of codes ( link ), which can determine the nature of the fault

AT: When I try to connect via Wi-Fi with a home router, the connection is established for a minute and then crashes.
ABOUT: Set the statistical IP on the router / modem and in the wireless settings of the router uncheck the WMM button

AT: Is it possible to fully make friends with Pebble and Blackberry 10
ABOUT: Yes you can. Advanced Manual

AT: If Android applications do not start

The resolution is weird. The keyboard is not natural for us
But, given the launch of Android applications, it’s not bad at all.
The main thing is that the price tag would not bend

[Suslikus]

The resolution is weird.

but pretty solid for this diagonal.

android4 @ 08/23/2014, 12:55

The keyboard is not natural for us

Engraving can certainly resolve this issue.

android4 @ 08/23/2014, 12:55

The main thing is that the price tag would not bend

but with this worse ... I think the device will not be cheap.

But in general, from the first rumors I painstakingly collect all the information about this gadget. really like and interesting to me;)

[valeronspb]

Suslikus,
Here beech on the English alphabet. So that will not work

[Suslikus]

Russian craftsmen will always find a way out;)

[atom63]

It’s dumb that there is GLONASS, and there is no Russian layout.

[Suslikus]

Glonass support does not mean that the device should be sold in the Russian Federation and have Russian.

[[RabinoVich]]

It would not be bad if the sensor on the display is switchable.

[[RabinoVich]]

The business segment is more important to have a long operating time than imaginary productivity, which is artificially forced to increase in order to at least somehow justify the release of new models of Galaxy and iPhones every year.

What is there about the presentation heard? It seems like today

[pitsbyrg]

In Moscow, the presentation will begin at 17:00

[sobol_kr]

Wow what a handsome machine.http://crackberry.com/blackberry-passport-reviewHere's a review if anyone is interested. Externally, the "wow effect" is just awesome. I think live will be even better. Touch hard keys are just something. Perhaps I will wait for another presentation of the Blackberry Classic and decide what suits me more.
PS: it's fun to watch as a tearing causal place among geo-keepers and fierce buzzers)))): rofl:

[Romano86]

The aspect ratio of the display and the keyboard is sharpened for Internet communication, a very convenient thing turned out. IMHO

[pitsbyrg]

If it is planned to be sold in Russia, then there should be a Russian keyboard layout? or not a fact.?

[shrv]

[email protected], 09:19

If it is planned to be sold in Russia, then there should be a Russian keyboard layout? or not a fact.?

The fact should be, but where will they put the “extra” Russian letters on the virtual one, or 2 pcs per key?
In general, the device recalled the E61, which was used for a long time - it also seemed to be wider than it was long - a sort of calculator)

[Suslikus]

the device is handsome! even something really fresh in the world of gadgets! and talk about sales in the Russian Federation and generally very pleased! : happy:
I will wait for reviews, especially the quality of the camera, autonomy and keyboard chips.

[Dick30]

From the characteristics: this monster has 4 speakers and 4 microphones.

[Dimoney2014]

The fact should be, but where will they put the “extra” Russian letters on the virtual one, or 2 pcs per key?

Thereit is written)))

With only three rows of keys, the BlackBerry Passport uses the display to offer additional virtual keys that change due to what you are doing on the device.

[sobol_kr]

In the picture, the call completion key on the left))) is just five !!! When he was presented, he thought which side would put this button?))

[Suslikus]

[email protected], 14:32

Well it's written right there )))

I liked the photo from the camera. sorry it is only one thing there ...

[shrv]

[email protected], 14:32

With only three rows of keys, the BlackBerry Passport uses the display to offer additional virtual keys that change due to what you are doing on the device.

In a sense, the Cyrillic alphabet will be only on the virtual layout? Or will not fit the letters will be only on the virtual? (it's terrifying at all!)
