It seems OS 10.3.2.xxx has NOT been released to UK cariers
- I got tired of checking for software updates for 10.3.2.xxx, and I know autoloaders exist but I’m trying to do an official update.
I just phoned my carrier, Three UK and asked when they would authorise the software, 10.3.2.xxx for Blackberry phones and the advisor said he wasn’t sure if it would be compatible which is why I may not have got the update, so I gave him a lesson. Apple is the only company to offer carrier independent updates whereas Samsung, Blackberry, etc, all do carrier dependant updates and that OS10.3.2.xxx was compatible with all OS10 devices. So he went to check with his advisor and there is no sign of 10.3.2.xxx being sent to the carrier so they cannot authorise software they haven’t got!
I am disappointed with this news. The thing is my phone is unlocked and I have not received any updates and on another thread, people with UK unlocked Blackberry’s have not received the update either....

Only OEM android devices receive carrier updates, everyone else gets them from their respective Developer ota - there are way too many to name, but you can google them.
NO carrier can authorize a BlackBerry OS for use, because carriers don't make BlackBerry OS. BlackBerry does. Carriers aren't pushing updates because they have too small of a BB10 user base, to waste resources on updating...maybe 100 devices per subscribership? It costs money that they don't intend to waste, and as long as nothing is wrong with your device, OS-wise, why should they be concerned? Because you demand an update, is financially illogical
Since you demand an update, do it yourself. And please don't come with the "void my warranty" nonsense. Plenty of people HERE have sent back many a BB10 device, with "unauthorized" software on their devices, and have gotten replacements without any issues, including myself. My out of warranty Z10 died last year, with non-carrier pushed software on it, and BlackBerry replaced my device, at THEIR expense, without any concern. All the old myths are dead. Free yourself or don't. But none of your concerns apply in 2015.hasa77 likes this.06-16-15 12:52 PMLike 1 - The whole "BlackBerry pushes the updates" isn't true. I have SIM free passport, Z10's and Z30's - none of them have an update. I've even tried removing the SIM and VPN across to the USA to pick up that way - nothing. I've tried Voda and O2 SIMs in the past and the handsets get updates when I swap SIMs about to the carrier that's released it.

BTW thankyou for you work on the blackberry hybrid tools. That was intensively used when I was on bbos. Do you have any tools for bb10?

I may attempt it in summer if it's not out by then but it's much easier to receive an update and do an OTA update.

I updated by autoloader last week, if I can manage it without drama and disaster I'm sure you can. Only thing to be aware of is the need for a current back up of your contacts and settings if you don't want to setup from scratch.

I realise this is a stock response from a release perspective, but does suggest that they do have it for testing.

In the old days prior to 2006 before the world had that seismic shift from PC to Apple we never had this kind of convenience and for smaller companies to especially start announcing release dates only puts added pressure on a small team to hit production dates. This will add unnecessary pressure and mistakes can happen. Look at the mess we had with 10.3.1 for the Passport.

Even if they tell you they don't, they do, for sure.
WiFi usage might not be carrier branded (it may still be branded somehow I don't know for sure), but even then BlackBerry might be limiting the roll out to certain regions.
Those are the only reasons I can think of, why these rollouts always seem so random here. Carriers are largely the limiting factor, but sporadic success from people to update through Link, or by removing the SIM makes it appear even BlackBerry is not "globally" pushing these updates at the same time.
