Can you bypass the hub by putting the email app on the home screen?
- Or a BB7 Bold. BB10 is a failure on so many fronts
Pity management can't take head out of *** long enough to see the sinking ship. I'm the only friend I have still using BlackBerry who switched to the Q10. None of the others will. They look at my Q10 and shrug it off as inferior to their Bold models. All business people.
Sticking to my bold till the morons at bbry "get it."05-22-13 12:27 PMLike 0 - That makes sense. With the Curve, you click a button to turn on the screen and see the notifications across the top. On the Z10, you can click the power button to turn on the screen and your notifications will be along the left side of the screen.
It's just a different way of doing things.

I miss it as well. I didn't want to have to swipe across to get to the hub. If there is an icon on the home screen,then I don't have to. If they don't do this quickly I am leaving blackberry forever.

They will implement an icon and a second instance of email, you wait and see. Then maybe you'll stop hurting blackberrys image with such phrases as "buy android or iphone"

With the q10, you have to peek, then hope you're on the home screen, press the phone icon, gesture thru contacts yada yada yada - to make a PHONE call. OH, yeah, and you need to press the "end call" icon 12 times to hang up.

Let's hope they'll get their act together before the US launch.05-23-13 03:53 PMLike 0 - I've been watching some reviews and checked it out in a Roger's store but I don't remember seeing the email app on the
home screen. I really have no use for the hub and all of the swiping to get to the email app when a simple icon on the
home screen would do the job and be much faster to access. Could a user please confirm the email app can be placed
there. Thank you.
1) Go to the Hub on your Z10
2) Press the three vertical dots on the lower right of the screen
3) Press the gear symbol labeled "Settings"
4) Press the "Hub Management" tab
5) Underneath where it reads 'Change the items that are included in the main view of the Hub.', set all the categories EXCEPT "Email Accounts" to "Off".
Now the only notifications displayed in your main Hub are your emails in your Inbox, in reverse chronological order. The one caveat is, if you go from your Email to any other section of the hub, you need to return to email before exiting the Hub - which is the one thing I would like to see changed (IMHO your "Hub Management" settings should always override wherever you might have been the last time you used the Hub). And your other notifications (SMS/MMS, calls, VM, etc) still appear on your lock screen, as always.
It works for me. YMMV.05-23-13 04:21 PMLike 0 - Blackberry has to get an email icon on the home screen. I have other devices for entertainment my q 10 is my business phone. I need speed-dial, camera and email. Simple , fast efficient for basic business needs is what made bb successful. I understand the need to move forward and innovate, but not at the expense of what made bb great in the first place05-25-13 11:44 AMLike 0

Posted via CB1005-25-13 03:15 PMLike 0 - Why doesn't BlackBerry give us the best of both worlds? I have now been using the Q10 for about a week and yes the Hub is great but am I really asking for so much for there to be an email Icon on the home screen for emails. That way I can get to it quickly by one quick press if I am on the home screen? I just don't believe that I am crazy asking for this as so many of you out there seem to believe I am.John Pawling likes this.05-25-13 03:31 PMLike 1
- It is only as deep as you left it. I don't want to loose that feature as I do a lot of peeking to read the email information which gets put into a browser or a document.John Pawling likes this.05-25-13 03:33 PMLike 1

I want the keyboard to copy and paste , it takes too damn long it slows me down too much.
And also the email icon should be on the home screen like the BB 9900. Like I said I will switch in an instant.06-14-13 09:56 PMLike 0 - The best BB yet is the Bold 9900, if I wanted a sliding screen phone I would of gotten an i phone or the z10 now, but I don't so I'm going to give it at least 2more months with this BB Q10 if I cannot hack the darn sliding I will switch it and leave BB for good too.
