On Android the RBG LED is tied into the sound profile with no options so the best I can do is keep my phone on priority only mode for those contacts but the LED does not function at all forcing me to check my phone every few minutes to see if I have any notifications. Not efficient at all.Last edited by cbosdell; 01-11-17 at 08:19 AM.

- I've tried that app and countless others. I've also contacted BlackBerry and Google. There is no way to have the phone operate in silent mode with the exception of certain work contacts (which probably is the key issue) but have the LED function as normal unless that has changed in the three months since I last tried.01-11-17 07:50 AMLike 0
- There are some important ways BB10 is more customization than Android. For years I used my phone in silent mode depending on my RGB LED to see notifications and what kind they were effortlessly. However I need certain work contacts to wake me up if needed. Easy to achieve on BBOS/BB10. Impossible on Android.

- I find that when the function is built into the OS it tends to work without issue. When you have to download an app like on Android you have to hope that the app doesn't act buggy or crash and you miss you notifications however you set it up to do so. This is the reason I dislike Android. Apps crash quite a bit as I remember.
Our Note 4 work phones at work have apps made for them and they crash daily.

Download reputable, well reviewed apps, and you should have no difficulty. They are regularly updated, adding new features while squashing small bugs.
The BB10 browser crashes regularly. The BB10 media player needs a device reboot occasionally to play certain file types. Default apps don't guarantee a higher level of performance.01-13-17 12:24 PMLike 0 - I haven't had an app crash since Priv launch day over a year ago.

To be honest, where we are today with only two major options for platforms is very disappointing. I used to think that apple was the evil hungry monster but as of late I think Google is. Not completely happy with either and when time comes it will be a difficult decision.

- The media player does not crash. It just suddenly cannot handle a whole bunch of different file types until reboot.01-14-17 11:00 AMLike 0
- I've never seen this day coming in all of my years of BlackBerry, but I'm about done with the os. Doing simple things, like making certain posts in Facebook, are impossible whereas people with ios and android have no problems. I'll try face10, but I'm not optimistic. So annoyed.

You can play around with camera settings or use a third party app to get better results but it's definitely not an ideal solution for "point and shoot" moments.01-14-17 07:54 PMLike 0
- There really is ONLY one way to take consistently good pictures with a Passport, and that is to hold perfectly still while shooting. That is why you can see so many good "posed" pictures. Try to take a pic of your 2-3 year old playing, dog moving about etc and you have a disaster. My holiday shots from Australia and N.Z from November are fantastic (95% of them) but that's because I am VERY deliberate while shooting them.85_305 likes this.01-14-17 08:46 PMLike 1
- Understood but that would not be the case if still supported. Android is very much still supported and there are many bugs and crashes. It's pretty much a crap shoot findings a reputable dependable app that may work well on that model android phone or not on the other depending on manufacturer.
