Leaked OS 10.3.0.140 - Findings, Fixes and Bugs thread
- Thanlk you all for your answers.
Some are serious, some are funny and some are....just are..
I didn't have time to read the thread just because i see it in the morning with 3 pages and i was on the road all day and now 30 pages!
Anyway...it's a apha build, i get it.
PS: thanks anyway guys..Akshay Borkar and pttptppt like this.03-24-14 01:41 PMLike 2 - A lot of these enhancements are awesome, but there are 5 simple things I would love to see in 10.3 that would make my experience much better:
1) a way to close windows directly from all apps rather than having to minimizing and then closing. It's unnecessarily inefficient if you don't need the window to remain active.
2) the End Call button is too big and too easy to hit accidentally. I know minimizing the screen avoids that, but it still happens too frequently if you need the call screen up.
3) it's too easy to hit the period button instead of the space key with the right thumb. It would be great to move it slightly to the right even if the period key, which I rarely need with double space, or the return key is smaller- and no, I don't have big, clumsy hands...
4) a way to quickly scroll to the bottom of a long web page, like "B" does.
5) a function like Flow Dialer built in so dialing a number from a web page is easier, even if it isn't programmed properly as a phone number.03-24-14 01:44 PMLike 2 - 03-24-14 01:45 PMLike 2
- BlackBerry 10.3 by Apple.
Change is good if it's needed and is actually better. In this case, it is neither.
BlackBerry 10 is a year old. It's not dated at all. It is actually unique and elegant. 10.3 (yes, I know it's an early build and will change) looks like iOS 7 has infected it. Yes, I know flat design wasn't invented by Apple, but everyone will compare it to iOS and how BlackBerry copied.
Hey new features are great.
The red is ugly and way too in-your-face, and I actually like the colour red. It does not suit the OS. I like some of the desk changes, but the keyboard, clock, and blue was perfect before. The flatness is ok to an extent, but just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean it's the best. Yes, features need to be matched, but the design doesn?t have to be the same.
Naturally, anyone that doesn't like the change is labelled as a complainer, dramatic, wrong, and resistant to change. So, in order to succeed BlackBerry has to conform to the designs of the other OS'? What happened to being unique in design. Everyone wanted TAT to come and design things to be better and different.
The same thing happened with the squircle and call screen. No options for customisation. You can't please everyone, but when half the users don't like something, maybe it should stay as it was, especially when almost everyone is happy with the current design.
If the final version ends up looking too much like iOS 7 or red, I'll either not upgrade or switch back to Apple considering that's where I was for 5 years. I hate Android, so I doubt that would happen. It would suck having to use an OS one doesn't like.

THIS IS AN EARLY BUILD, IN CASE YOU NEVER READ THE FIVE OTHER PLACES THAT WAS NOTED. YOU MAY NOT WANT TO LOAD IT AS A DAILY DRIVER OS, IF YOU DO... DON'T WHINE ABOUT IT. NOBODY CARES THAT YOU NEVER HEEDED THE WARNINGS AND CHOSE TO USE IT DAILY. JUST SAYIN'03-24-14 01:46 PMLike 3 - The attempt at going 'Flat' does not look well at all, not at all. The red accent color is a nice touch, however that's where the goodness ends.
I'll use this picture to highlight a few issue areas.
There's many more UI element's that just don't look their best
- They use #282828 as the dark 'Flat' color, previously they used a gradient which ranged in this area (and looked much better). This is the color they use for dark action bars as well.
- They forgot about going flat, as you can see they still have gradient around the segmented control it goes from light at the top, to a dark at the bottom.
On a computer screen this doesn't look all that bad, but on the device itself the flat, vs 'non'-flat clashes & does not look good at all.
I personally feel the current re-design path is putting them 3 steps behind where they were. If they want to proceed with going flat, this is not the way to do it. It feels like they took something great and ripped the greatness of it out and said here you may have the leftovers.
*The accent color is great, I believe this will be opened up as a user chosen selection of multiple colors (red,blue,green etc). The Accent is independent of the flat design as it could and should easily be incorporated into the older, better looking UI.anon8656116 and RafiqK like this.03-24-14 01:47 PMLike 2 - I had this same problem when I did a backup/restore of my "other application" data. There seems to be some difference between the android players it seems. When I did a restore of ONLY "settings" this android error goes away.03-24-14 01:47 PMLike 0

Also this is on another note nothing to do with 10.3, but someone else may wonder it as well and I should know...but in BBM I have it to save chat history...I have loaded 10.3 and lost my chat history lol...so I know it definitely doesn't save it to my BBID account...so where exactly does it save? and how do I save these chats for the next leak so I don't lose the chat?03-24-14 01:52 PMLike 0 - 03-24-14 01:54 PMLike 0

- I found a neat feature within the media app. Videos now are designated as a wide image instead of the same size as the pictures. Its easy to distinguish now between the photos and videos you have taken in the past when scrolling through your library.

at the end of the say blackberry 10 offers a completely different experience than android and ios. what you are hating on are cosmetic changes (flatter UI and red accents) and nothing to do with the usability of the OS. if a slightly flatter UI and the color red cause you to dump a phone and change ecosystems i would question how much you really did like bb10 to begin with.03-24-14 01:58 PMLike 6 -
