Yippie! It worked. Thanks a million. U rock! Really grateful man. U really saved my ass

walcolm: For those already on the z10 and those waiting for future devices running on the new blackberry 10OS, post your requests, observations here.

Been using one for about a month and I can help you with questions you may have

DATA PLAN

FULL BIS will still work with no problem on all networks

Stay away from 'Social' Plans on all networks....they dont work

COMPLETE plan should work cos it only restricts no of email addresses you can register on BIS but BB10 doesn't handle email with BIS. anyone using this should please confirm

UPDATE: I have a first hand experience that Glo BB COMPLETE PLAN work with no problem

New BB10 Data plans,
STAY AWAY from GLO BB10 MIDMONTH plan, it has been placed on 2G network to block video and audio streaming

The great news is BB10 will run on any normal data plan for andriods, iPhone, mifi etc so we dont even need the crappy BB10 plans being introduced by the networks

APPS
To get the very best apps on the BB10 OS, look for apps with the 'BUILT FOR BLACKBERRY' designation.
if you search with those keywords in Blackberry world, you'll see a long list of apps that are in that category

HOW ABOUT ETISALAT FULL BIS (not complete plan -com to 399),CAN IT WORK ON Z10?

Etisalat BIS doesnt work on BB10 devices..only dedicated BB10 plans work on BB10 devices. Etisalat Nigeria blocks their BIS intentionally...The BB10 devices were designed to work with BIS plans and vanilla data plans like iphone and android plans

since its a fresh subscription, it might be a few hrs before MTN activates your sim. you can check to be sure your APN is blackberry.net other than that, no tweak is necessary

bettercreature:
please how can i access the APN

swipe down from the top of the screen
tap settings
tap Network connections
tap mobile network
at the bottom of the screen you'll see APN, tap it and make sure Access Point Name (APN) has 'blackberry.net' typed inside the box

if its not there, just type it yourself and save

i guess its from ur network provider then. customer service should be able to sort it out. its probably a data activation issue from them

walcolm: since its a fresh subscription, it might be a few hrs before MTN activates your sim. you can check to be sure your APN is blackberry.net other than that, no tweak is necessary

Most times it goes back to web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net (carrier apn) even after changing it.

The only network in Nigeria that gives you 3gb data for N2,800 is........ Airtel.

Just send BCM3 to 440 and the rest is history.

If you are still on those rip off a called BB10 plans, you are really wasting your cash.

These network guys did a kind of market segmentation and decided that if you can afford a BB10 device, you should be able to pay more for data...

Is anybody having issues with their BB10 battery?

My z10 battery is all messed up and works for less than an hour now

Please what can I do? I also can't seem to find a replacement battery

Help...how can I upgrade my z10...from 10..to 10.1...using MTN network....

Glo also gives 3gb for about 1400

Teaser4: Help...how can I upgrade my z10...from 10..to 10.1...using MTN network....

have you checked under 'software updates' with your MTN SIM? if MTN has not loaded the update for their network, just pop in any data enabled sim from Airtel or Etisalat and check again

otherwise you have to use blackberry Link from your PC

i am not having this dramatic issue you seem to be having with your battery. i only noticed that my battery calibration was a bit off after i allowed it to discharge fully before recharging

Li ion batteries don't like being fully discharged before they are recharged so if you have been in the habit of allowing your battery to run until it dies before you charge it, you should stop immediately

What you can do is to always allow it to charge for a long time even if the battery shows its fully charged, leave it plugged in i.e. all through the night and make sure you always plug in before it discharges fully. since the calibration is messed up, when it shows as being fully charged, its probably not

How much? Am in lagos

@walcolm you are right as regards the battery thingy.
I am a heavy phone user and am usually away from charging points most time in the day. My battery has been fully drained daily in the last month.

Hope it's not fully damaged by now?

hopefully you can salvage the battery and get it back to lasting longer than 1hr but you MUST get a spare battery to supplement your current battery
