The "Ask a Passport owner a question." Thread

1. Is there a dark theme?
2. Can you use keyboard shortcuts and are there any new ones added in 10.3 like J/K/I in email list or reading screen? (Next Unread/Previous Unread/File/etc..)
3. Can you wake the phone by swiping up in keyboard or do you have to swipe on screen?
4. How fast is rotation in Android apps? I am asking this because it's painfully slow in Z30 with latest official 10.2 release.
5. Do you still need modified google services in order to run most android apps loaded from Snap? Like Maps, Youtube, etc.. as well as many other apps that keep asking for google services?
6. Has anyone tried connecting to 802.11ac router and is it really fast or bottlenecked by the on-board components like previous Blackberries? Super fast internet but browser takes a while to load due to processor/memory/etc..
7. Can you finally browse the video without having to re-buffer the whole thing? (When you seek within already buffered part of the video, 10.2 rebuffers the whole thing, such a waste)
8. Did anybody try Wallpaper Changer HD app on 1:1 screen?

I'm still adjusting from a z30 virtual keyboard. Ask me that question in a couple weeks.

To answer your first question...Nope! :)

The Scottrade trade app is garbage. Use the browser.

It is Not functional for anyone, I'm sure it will be added to the next update.

1) When you reply to an email is the default font colour blue like on 10.2?

2) Can someone post a screenshot of the text message screen?

3) Does Snapchat and Google Maps work?

1+3 will basically decide whether I order mine or not!

Thanks guys!!

did anyone get the leather flip case/cover? does it attach to the back by removing the back cover and replacing it like the z30 flip case does? a picture would be awesome!

Anyone got a pouch for this beast yet?

BlackBerry Passport: It doesn't BEND but you can BLEND

Firstly congrats on the new device, and thanks for offering your input.

My question : If you have used BB Assistant for hands/eyes-free voice-guided navigation over Bluetooth in a car, how was the experience and were there any issues? Scenario : You have your Passport (with BB Assistant already running) in your pocket, but connected to your car audio via BT. You ask it to navigate somewhere. What does it do?

Thanks again.

Lol.. some of these questions are crazy. It's like everyone forgot at the end of the day it's still a BlackBerry 10 device and the things that worked before are still going to work.

No. Amazon Video isn't supported..........yet.

So, if I want a black edition passport, where do I have to get it from without having to sell my third limb, Bla1ze?

Never read my review then huh? lol

"It also has the added bonus of holding up pretty darn well in direct sunlight and unlike the BlackBerry Z30, which had its display brightness abilities limited, that's seemingly not an issue on the BlackBerry Passport. "

Hard to sell something if it can't be played w/ first.

Is it LCD or amoled screen? I read the thread, but I did so backwards so idk if this has been asked/answered.

AT&T WILL sell it and the display is LCD.

is this android or BB apps?
if it's android apps, can you try the zoom out / in feature
just wondering how it looks

Flipboard works like a charm using the zoom out feature

This is android.. tried the zoom out and nothing happened. Atleast for this app in particular.

A HDMI / Miracast question!

If I have a video that I want to watch on a TV that is in 16:9, does the video fill the TV estate, or is it boxed off due to the 1:1 aspect ratio of the originating device?

Thanks

In what scenarios is the Passport significantly faster objectively vs previous BlackBerry 10 devices? Application launch speed? Less spinners in apps?

I'm gonna move to a Passport no matter what I think. But I'm dying to know.

When you load pictures to your computer. Do they com out square lime the screen, or is there some kind of aspect that comes out anyways.

I like printing my pictures and giving them to people. I also like to blow my pictures to 17x20 and put them on my wall.

More rectangular pictures seem to work almost perfect for this.

Any insights on how the Passport might handle this?? Or should I set aside some money for an actual camera for printing physicals.


Thanks for helping out!! I'm sure there are lots of questions everyone is going to have.
