    Hello everybody. Im using the blackberry Priv by months now and today i'v noticed some tremendous speeding while using the device. I though that maybe updated nougat by itself but for sure no. This is a good thing but weird. Hope it will last

    LoL same here. I thought my Priv knew I was gonna abandon her for the Mercury, so she sped up lol.

    Anyway, my Priv feels super snappy today for some reason? I like it.

    If slow, clear the cache and reboot.

    It feels so slow again. I clear the cache and within a few weeks it's like a dog again. This device is brutal.

    If I need to perform general maintenance on my device every week.

    It's a pretty crappy device.

    But I have noticed speed really relies on my signal strength. When I'm in low/no signal areas. My Priv will stutter and hang like no other.

    Yeah. I clean mine at least once a day. Keeps things right fast.

    There's something with the Priv, maybe the earliest batches came with problems or the AT&T version did. I've had two, the first one was laggy and would warm up. The second one has been lighting fast since day one, it's running over 100 apps, and never gets warm.

    So strange that I see people reporting sluggishness with the Priv. I can't imagine mine running any quicker with the tasks and apps I'm using.

    How do you clear the cache anyway? Not that I'm going to...

    In your Storage settings, you can clear your cache. It's easy.

    What do people do with their devices exactly? I've had mine since day one it launched and none of these heating and slowness issues.
    Wipe your device and start from scratch or something. Not sure what Apps or what else you do with your phones.

    I bought a factory unlocked one from BB directly - sometimes it randomly slows down, but I find when using it, its more or less ok. Though lately the camera app has been crashing on me, restart fixes it but its still annoying.

    My biggest problem with the priv is when launching LinkedIn from an email it takes FOREVER - literally about 20 seconds before its loaded and i can click around. Double tap to wake has been hit/miss periodically too.
