[scotty_buttons]

^^ nice. i didnt notice the link u posted before. THANKS!

just called Digicel and they say they'll be ready for OS10 support by month end

Yea Digicel seems to be behind Bmobile with BB10 readiness, but it makes sense with what i have been hearing - Bmobile will launch very very very soon ( a matter of days) and Digicel will be ready late April

Yeah we all know how well bmobile launches always turn out.

[tr1ad]

ahhh.. that sucks. well i'll try out the .261 version tomorrow.. need phone constantly on today. will post the outcome then.

let me know how that pans out, and if you can change the APN

[fred1266]

hey guys.. friend just got a z10.. pretty decent.. but she wants whatsapp to work.. it wont work with the current OS version and needs to upgrade but Digicel doesnt have any updates or as a matter of fact, suppot the OS10 phones yet
was wondering if anyone was successful in manually upgrading their OS10 to the latest to get whatsapp to work and what to do? HELP!

Many Thanks!

Is this the verison version?

if it ia blackberry and Verizon already know about the problem and they say they say it would be solve by next week, he insnt the only one

nah not the verizon. bought unlocked from Let's Talk in Trincity. So not sure what carrier it was under.. and I'd have to get the sim card associated with Verizon to get the update anyway.. there isnt an ETA for Digicel getting the update unfortunately..
I read up that many ppl manually updated their phones thru BB Desktop Software / BB Link.. just not too sure which update file to use from which carrier and was hoping someone here succeeded in doing so

not sure either which update you should use either but guess you can try anyone out there but make sure you back up your phone first

It has never been greyed out for me, i have 2 Z10s

Red STL-1003 (Digicel)
OS 10.0.10.672
APN editable, set to web.digiceltt.com

Black STL-1001 (Bmobile)
OS 10.0.10.738
APN non-editable, set to blackberry.net10

I get data services on both

that .738 was pushed out earlier today to some devices for the 100-1

i think you should do the post about which device should be purchased. Your blog is quite popular and that launch will be a good time to do it

i

any word on pricing yet?

[recklessone]

I think i'm going to have to write a blog post to educate Z10 buyers to ensure the dealer is selling them a variant that works with local 4G, too many STL-1002 devices being sold here and customers finding out after the fact that it wont work with Bmobile or Digi 4G

This I had checked Let's Talk Trincity and found that they had it for a reasonable price but when I inquired about the model variant and found it was STL-1002, I desisted immediately. Had it not been for my following of this thread, I would not have known about its incompatibility with local 4G. This Z10 really iffy at the moment.

There are dealers selling Storm 9550 devices "new" to consumers and they email me asking if they could get OS7 on it, i dont put anything past the dealer's wish to make a profit off non-the-wiser consumers.

The Z10 isnt iffy, independent dealers are iffy

On Digicel?

[tr1ad]

To check for the update remove the sim and use the wifi to check. Remember it isn't carrier dependent locally yet

for the STL-1001 i only got the update through my Bmobile SIM, and i had tried T-Mobile, Vodafone and Digicel SIMs

[scotty_buttons]

So to update y'all, reloaded the most recent firmware from the link that Khafra posted earlier. Version 240 or something so, can't remember.
Anyway, the apn was editable
Data working fine now STL1002

Yep edge only. Better than nothing. And there's no chance that Digicel gonna supprt 4G for these models?

[tr1ad]

by chance can you say if the apn is still able to be edited with a bmobile sim?

and no these cannot get 4G due to the frequency that the 100-2 comes with, it's not compatible

[scotty_buttons]

Didnt try a bmobile sim. But it should work. Just downgrade. Have nothing to lose if u backup. Apart from 10mins of your time

[Khafra]

Posting this link which details the radio chip differences between the Z10 variants

[scotty_buttons]

Damn. What about when LTE is available? That'll be using Digicel 4G 1900mhz too?

[Khafra]

By the time LTE gets to T&T we won't be using Z10s lol

[Chimera]

which one of the version would bmobile be launching

[tr1ad]

Didnt try a bmobile sim. But it should work. Just downgrade. Have nothing to lose if u backup. Apart from 10mins of your time

i tried the downgrade, there isn't any apn anymore to set, the field is just blank
instead of 2g/3g/4g for selection, there is LTE/UTMS/GSM to select - same thing

i was going to leave it, but when i tried to restore the info via link
there was an error msg

"backup data is of a newer OS, please upgrade the OS to be able to restore"

aba, add a cow to the offer an we go have a deal
