Why? I'm asking seriously. I've dual carried Android since 2010-2011. My preference for BlackBerry was always that I've felt more secure but I still used Apple, Google and Microsoft hardware from desktops, laptops, notebooks and tablets. Starting with PRIV and DTEK, I feel secure enough with BBAndroid compared to regular Android.
That being said. What am I missing? I can't imagine de-googling either PRIV or DTEK. I feel like app creators of Google alternatives could and will get my info and greater probability of misuse than Google Play Store. Just this week, I've noticed a "Protect" scanning function in the Google Play Store.
Being serious, please explain advantage of what you've done.
Thanks in advance....09-08-17 12:27 PMLike 0 - My phone has arrived at my AT&T Store. Headed over now. I just have to convince them not to help me transfer data!

Yeah, try to prevent them from "helping" you with data transfer. A store CS Rep did so when I got my Classic and they botched it. Cheers.09-08-17 12:46 PMLike 0 -

I'm not a foil hat guy and care less about being tracked. If one seriously wants avoid being tracked they have to kill all the uplinks. This means TV, internet, mobile network, credit cards.
I just want to get rid of the google annoyances. I'm new to it, but my wife is a google fan and I see all the annoyances she gets. When I get a new computer or windows OS, the first thing I do is disable all the MS annoyances. I just want my stuff to work smooth without distractions. I was never big on getting app updates on BB10 and one annoyance on it was amazon store forever pestering me to update an app. Can not kill amazon on BB10.

I understand iterative development and all that, but most apps on the freemium model are just looking for ways to invite you to upgrade, so it's basically feature marketing spam with little to no net benefits for me.
I just want to optimize my phone once, then freeze it for a year as much as possible.
Speaking of which, is there any way to image an Android phone after installing and configuring everything, or do.i just need to document my set up?

It's the antenna band for cellular which is the little band on either side of the lower keyboard. The band's on the top side are for WiFi radio.
When you hold your phone you are cutting down the signal strength to a point where you'll drop a call.
I really wanted to keep but signal strength is top need09-08-17 04:51 PMLike 0 - I just want to confirm that the AT&T KEYone has the FM radio enabled, together with a tuner app factory installed.09-09-17 02:13 AMLike 0
- I mean car charger port. Not USB dongle, lol. Wrong thing to say.
here's the one I ordered:
AUKEY Car Charger, Flush Fit Quick Charge 3.0 Port for Samsung Galaxy | eBay
and a braided type c cable:
USB Type C Cable,Snowkids Usb to Usb C 3.0 (6.6ft) Nylon Braided Galaxy S8+ | eBay
Also the ATT KEYone comes with head phones? Awesome, did not list that on the website as "whats included"
So thats a bonus.
I also ordered the iOttie car mount:
iOttie Easy One Touch 2 Car Mount Holder for iPhone 7 6/6S Plus, Galaxy Note 7
The case i went with is this one, if it doesn't work, I will try the Blackberry OEM dual shell:

Has anyone else noticed a clicks back around the logo on there's ? Reminds me of how the Priv was.jamesharmeling likes this.09-09-17 11:46 AMLike 1

I just can't get over how nice it looks in all-black. My SO commented how he prefers the contrast of the silver but also appreciates the "stealth" look of the all-black. Cheers.jamesharmeling likes this.09-09-17 12:44 PMLike 1 - Last thing I ordered was a screen protector:
Skinomi MatteSkin Anti-Glare Screen Protector Shield for Blackberry KEYone | eBay
I would get an invisible shield, but that does not exist yet. I like the feel of anti-glare/matte finish screens. Phone will be here Monday, and all the accessories should be here the same week.jamesharmeling likes this.09-09-17 10:19 PMLike 1
