- I'm having Z10, OS 10.3.2.2876, with AR patch by BlackBerry World. Though the issues with Android apps are over now and don't have any other issue like no headphone sound etc except decreased battery backup. Battery backup was used to be in between 6-7 hrs with data connectivity which slashed to 4hrs after update patching.

- Hi all,
To try and help here's what I consider the current main points for the updated android runtime (ART) "patch"; 10.3.2.371, now showing as available in Blackberry World (BBW), summed up to save those not wanting to go through all the back posts, and as at 14th February 2016 09:19 GMT.
I'm no expert, have no affiliation with Blackberry (BB), and so these are my observations only. Please feel free to correct anything;
-The 10.3.2.371 ART is an update to the 10.3.2.2836 ART which was delivered with the new version Operating System (OS) 10.3.2.2876. ART 10.3.2.2836 has the "bug" identified by member Colbalt232 and others where removing an Android application (and by "Android" that means any (Android) application that was not installed directly from BBW) removed just the home screen icon, but left the actual application and it's files still on the device, and therefore still taking up the space it filled.
-Before the 10.3.2.371 ART was released, a number of users "rolled back" the bugged 10.3.2.2836 ART by using bar files posted by the community and a tool such as Sachesi, so that their operating system remains at 10.3.2.2876, but their ART was rolled back to 10.3.2.2813. This combination OS and this ART do not suffer from the bug, and (Android) applications can be removed as normal.
-This 10.3.2.371 new ART is technically not needed if you are already running the rolled back ART 10.3.2.2813, but you will continue to get "nags" and update requests for the 10.3.2.2836 ART. If you have "auto-updates" on your device switched on, it is likely that if you rollback, your device will at some soon point overwrite the older version with the bugged newer version.
Currently, no manual installation files have been seen / posted for the new 10.3.2.371 ART.
Issues downloading the new 10.3.2.371 ART / "Network error";
-A large proportion of users are currently unable to download the patch from BBW, and simply receive a "Network error" when they try.
-The problem HAS been acknowledged by BlackBerry themselves (with thanks for member Richard Buckley for posting), and is currently "under investigation".
-No pattern as to whom can and whom cannot download it has emerged yet.
-The update works first time, or not at all; there are no current instances of someone getting the "Network error", then successfully downloading it at a later time; there have been some "workarounds" posted such as changing browser settings to turn off the "request desktop version" setting. These same fixes have been shown not to work when tried by others, but it is not clear if these remedial changes were made after attempts to download the new ART application failed. Given that they do not work for others suggests that they may well have been just a coincidence.
-The posted link to the 10.3.2.371 ART will not work when browsed to on a laptop / desktop or other non-blackberry OS-running device; it will display a "not found" or similar error.
-Searching in BBW on a BB device will often find the 10.3.2.371 ART once, but subsequent searches for it "fail" and it appears to have then "dissapeard"... however, copying the link into a browser directly on the device will bring it back up.
-For users with the "Network error", other applications download without issue from BBW.
-It does not appear to matter if you have ART 10.3.2.2813 or ART 10.3.2.2836 installed when you try to download ART 10.3.2.371. To reiterate, ART 10.3.2813 works for uninstalls, ART 10.3.2.2836 is the bugged one that doesn't. If you have rolled back to ART 10.3.2.2813 or not updated to OS 10.3.2.2876 with ART 10.3.2.2836, you can leave ART 10.3.2.2813 in place which will continue to allow you to uninstall (Android) applications, but even with "auto updates" turned off within your device, you will still get repeated update "nags" for the bugged (but newer) 2836 version @ 85MB.
-It does not matter if you try to download the new ART via mobile data or via WiFi, nor if you have the device's "Allow downloads over 50MB via mobile data" setting switched on or off; any and all attempts continue to fail at present for those affected.
-Those who have been able to update to ART 10.3.2.371 are reporting a number of applications that no longer run, and which were fine when ART 10.3.2.2813 was installed, so backing up your current installation is recommended, as is caution in updating at this point.
I am also going to cross-post this to the ART 10.3.2.2876 "analysis" thread, but could I ask that we stick to this new thread; "updated-android-runtime-blackberry10-1061868" for this continuing issue, and leave the original "2876 runtime analysis" thread for just posts relating to that ART.
Hope that helps some of you.
Regards
James

By the way, JamesW_UK, as others have said, perfect summation.02-14-16 03:11 PMLike 0 - I read this thread the day it went up. I sachesi'd 2813 ART&shell to my 2876 Passport & all runs well. I will NOT resume OTA until I see a subsequent version higher than 2879 some say exists but possesses the defective ART. I wonder if the hoped for full OTA update will install over what I have, or will I be obliged to put on the defective 85mb piece now shown in the software update settings dialog & associated nags? Will the GOOD OTA supersede that, or would update via link allow skipping the bad fragment?02-14-16 04:31 PMLike 0
- Thanks for the thorough and very accurate summary of the problem, James.
My take on it is that if the 2813 ART files are or can be installed, better to stick with those, because the updated ones, if you can even DL them, have no advantage to the 2813 ones, and will even cause some Android apps to fail, apps which will work under 2813. The only annoyance will be with the periodic prompts to upgrade the OS, which you can always reject.

The touted BlackBerry experience has come down to this.
BlackBerry is a pain...

I'm annoyed with myself, as I had everything I wanted working under ART 2813, thanks to Sachesi and rolling back, and since I tried "upgrading" and installing the 321 ART, which didn't work due to the dreaded "Network error", I have one single application that just will not run now, despite me rolling back once more, and installing it, uninstalling it, patching it, not patching it, re-installing it, clearing the cache, dancing naked in the moonlight with the Z10 held aloft under the rays of the full moon, and when the bloody thing worked fine with the same set-up only the day before!
The "nags" do bug me, but it's just about tolerable right now. Any more, and I think I would have started acknowledging them with a hard stamp of my right foot to the screen.

- The fact that I had to get in touch with one of BlackBerry's staff via Twitter to get this noticed/raised, THEN point out the contents of the ticket was inaccurate, THEN wait weeks for an update, only for BlackBerry to make a total hash of the simple task of deploying the fix...
It just defies belief.
Thinking this will be my last BlackBerry. Enough is frankly enough.
