Long time i try to connect my vkontakte app. I try the BlackBerry version and the android version and i get the error like that. I use BlackBerry z10 and have wirless and 3g connection. Other apps opened like skype and facebook and instagram. Only the vk app which I download from BlackBerry world and the app viber have the same problem. Can anybody help me
Long time i try to connect my vkontakte app. I try the BlackBerry version and the android version and i get the error like that. I use BlackBerry z10 and have wirless and 3g connection.

That looks like a ported Android app.
I have seen some people complain that in some cases Android apps are not getting internet connectivity running on the BB10 Android runtime.
I'm not sure what variables impact this. It certainly is not universal, or else we would see many more complaints about this sort of thing.
So it may have to do with the way the particular Android app accesses internet services, and perhaps some recent changes made in the Android runtime in BB10.
But when you say "Blackberry version", remember: these are applications that someone has decided to re-package for Blackberry 10. Oftentimes those are just volunteers who do not have any direct relationship with the original app developer.
Or they were re-packaged and tested at a time when this latest OS was not available, and what was working on a previous version with a different Android subsystem, may not work properly any more. BlackBerry, to my knowledge, does not re-test every single app in BlackBerry World every time a new official OS release is made available.
And because I have seen other people recently post about issues with Android app network connectivity, I am inclined to guess that there was something changed in the 10.2.1.2141/10.2.1.2102 OS that is contributing to this.
I notice 2 things about the vkontakte app in BlackBerry World:
It was submitted by "smerdin corp". I have a feeling they are not directly associated with vkontakte.
It was released in 2013-04. LONG before OS 10.2.1, or even OS 10.2.0 was released.
The Android subsystem in BlackBerry 10 was very different in April 2013. Among other things, it was based on Gingerbread (v2.3), the current Android subsystem is based on JellyBean. (v4.2)
