Yep - which network please (in which country), and...
...did you have to remove your sim card and re-boot or any other clever method to get the update?

[FriedrichGottlob]

Sorry guys, if I caused an early stimulus! I thought that the European update would be simultaneous. I am from Austria, not UK. And I'd gotten the update at that day I sent the post.

Cheers & apologies for the misleading info!

By the way, the most I am very curious about is, how will the update affect the performance. Especially the battery life!

I swapped out my monthly Virgin Media sim card for a Vodafone pre paid card, and the 10.3.3 update appeared for download as soon as I checked with WiFi connected. All installed smoothly, and all existing native &. Amazon-installed Android apps seem to work as before.
Battery life maybe doesn't seem to be quite as good as before, but I'l give it time to settle in over the next couple of weeks.
Also, after reinserting the Virgin Media/EE monthly sim card, calls and texts seem to be working fine.
I suspect that in the UK the update has been released first to the Carriers with the most business and Govt/defence users, and further graded in priority by the relevant BB10 phone models being used by those customers.
Hence, my Z30 came from Amazon, factoryunlocked, and I'm unsure if a Vodafone user here with a Passport phone bought direct from Vodafone and locked to them, or bought direct from Shop BlackBerry and put on Vodafone's network has been prioritised for update ahead of a phone like mine.
As for BB10 phones on EE's network in the UK, I've no idea when - or if - EE are releasing this update!
- Food for thought, as we say here.

Anyone got an update for UK passport?

[planetbollox]

Still waiting. Just had a chat on the UK EE forum, bloke said that despite the fact I have been with EE for years, as I got my Z10 from car phone warehouse, not EE, the update would not be coming from EE. Seems there are quite a few disappointed EE blackberry users out there. Time to switch carrier.

We are monitoring the same forum ;-)
I don't think anybody there knows any better than we do, they are not EE employees.
Also EE is quite happy to offer you SIMs to bring your own phone. More to the point nobody has remarked that a kosher EE-sold BlackBerry has updated either. I conclude that EE just hasn't released the upgrade to anybody in any capacity yet.
I would suggest ringing EE's own tech support and seeing what they say.

On giffgaff, I couldn't get 10.3.3 so I used an autoloader. After installing it, there was an 800mb update available which legitimately let me install the newest version of BB10.

EE can't even provide BlackBerry services (BlackBerry logo next to signal) to me let alone any updates!!!!!

At your own risk, of course, try doing what I did with my Amazon-acquired factory unlocked Z30........ ( as long as your BB10 phone is unlocked). I removed my Virgin Media monthly sim card that uses the EE network, and replaced it with a Vodafone pay as you go sim card. Then as soon as I fired up my home WiFi connection (with sim network access disabled so as to prevent Vodafone card trying to register it's self) , the Update announced it was available.
So I downloaded it and installed OK, then rebooted, then switched off and removed Vodafone card and reinserted Virgin Media/EE card and rebooted.
Result? - Everything works absolutely fine, including camera, calls, texts, Android apps etc. And since then, battery life has settled down OK, and the entire Z30 and BB10 experience seems even smoother and slicker than before!
And access to Amazon App Store is fine, plus I have installed apps from there OK since the Update.

Just to clarify, this Vodafone-accessed update is reported by my Z30 as follows:-
Software Release 10.3.3.1435
OS Version 10.3.3.2163

Someone needs to have it out with BlackBerry as to exactly why this update is so staggered and haphazard, and exactly how it was meant to be rolled out.
As it appears from various posts on this thread and another one ref BB10 update in the rest of Europe that both BlackBerry and the Carriers et al seem to be saying.. "Not my fault, mate!". Etc.
It's a disgusting and shameful situation, and corporately no one seems to care!

Reality: BlackBerry does NOT care for bb10 and the way this rollout is being delivered is a true reflection of their lack of commitment to the OS.

Get yaself a android device (with a blackberry case) and you will get all the updates you desire. Heck, you will even be placed on their beta programme !!

Reality: why on earth are you in a BB10 sub-forum, telling people the obvious and asking them to go to Android.

Some of us here on the BB10 boards like BB10 for what features it currently provides.

Read my previous forum posts, and get to know me before you accuse me.

I had notification of the update to 10.3.3 today 16/2/2017... at long last. Just have to decide if it worth the risk of further breaking the old Facebook app.

Nothing on EE yet - I just checked

Please can you tell us which network and which model phone (if that matters). Thanks

[Blackberry4Shizzle]

Mine has finally come through today. But like the person above now I'm thinking if I even want it lol
Classic Unlocked on O2

Posted via CB10 on my Classic

[PM1024]

Mine is Z10 bought contract free on O2... I'm still deciding! Given that I've got 2 versions of the BB10 browser (10.3.2 and the earlier 10.3.1 for Flash which I retrospectively installed) would it be possible to load the new improved browser on 10.3.2?

It's got nothing to do with carrier. I have factory unlocked Q10 and Leap both on Giffgaff and have only been offered 10.3.3 on the Q10.

It's just more shambolic nonsense from Chairman Chen's 'software company' lulz

When did you get the OS update?

When did you get the OS update?

Posted via CB10

It was late in January, I can't remember the exact day now. Don't suppose there's a way to see installation logs on a BB10 device?

Unless the carrier has to approve updates for each device, in which case Giffgaff approved the Q10 but not the Leap (maybe they don't have any other customers using a BlackBerry Leap lol)

[jonuk69]

Arrived with me and all good. I'm with Vodafone UK.
