List of glitches and problems on the Passport so far:
- So my Passport arrived Thursday 9th and after trying it out for a few days and getting used to the new keyboard and size etc, I'm starting to really dig it.
Only one problem that I've come across so far is that the phone will occasionally forget that there's an SD card inserted. I first noticed this when I received a text message and the notification had reverted to the stock original (I'd kept my custom tones on the SD card, now transferred onto the phone). On checking file manager, there was apparently no SD card present. After popping the card out and, the Passport then recognised it again.
This has happened a few times, particularly on startup (I turn the phone off overnight) but it also occurs at random points during the day.
Could it be a loose connection in the card tray? The card itself was previously in my Q10 for over a year with no problems.

Sometime content keeps playing. So it's just touch inputs don't work.

1 Contacts screen overlap
2 small rubber seal near bottom of screen started to pull out. From swiping up with right thumb. Swapped phone at Andre's in Kamloops where I bought it.

I also showed him live streaming of BBC world in HD after he said that the Beaches in Toronto was a low signal area...
Posted via CB1010-13-14 01:32 AMLike 0 - I have had the passport for almost a week now and have decided to fully put the z30 to rest.
Have also tested and convinced myself that I can live without my laptop, except for X11 forwarding in linux. BlackBerry should write a good ssh app with X11 forwarding. The android juiceSSH is not secure.
Only thing that does not work is full screen mirroring to an external monitor on 16:9 aspect ratio from the browser in flash when live streaming TV .
The browser does not have the 'play on' side menu option that the video player has.
BlackBerry should fix this in the browser in the next release because streaming in HD to a large screen is a key differentiator for Z10, Z30 and the Playbook and the Passport cannot do it.
All the other paid or free browsers do not seem to have flash, so they are useless for all the tv stations I stream.

I've been on the phone now for an hour with tech support (from the card that was in the box). Nice guy but we're lost at what is going on. I tried to run some tests and the phone rebooted 3 times. The keyboard stopped working. It failed 4 of the 38 tests from the virtual assistant.
I just wasted 5 hours of my time with this device. I was told to wait 24-48 hours for them to check the reports that I sent them from the tests that I did for him. I asked if I could just return the device and get a new one and he wasn't sure. *facepalm10-15-14 11:42 PMLike 0 - What a nightmare. I just tried wiping the phone to see if that would make any difference. Nope. Random reboots. Apps don't work (like the CLOCK), and anytime I try and do anything, it reboots.
Probably the worst experience I've ever had with a phone. I called Rogers last night and they'll be sending me a replacement unit but if that unit turns out to be a dud, I don't know if I'll ask for a third. So disappointing. Loyal Blackberry follower. I've been at the NY launch of bb10 and I've had a BB since the 8800s. I wonder how converters to bb will take all these defects IF they received a dud.10-16-14 07:32 AMLike 0 - What a nightmare.

I know the feeling of getting a dud, I've had the unfortunate experience with it (computers and phones). Hopefully the replacement will be good for you.
Posted via CB1010-17-14 04:03 PMLike 0 - I'm sorry you're having such a problem with your new Passport. Mine has been great and my signal strength on Rogers, (in rural SW Ontario no less) has been stellar. My Q10 never had such a strong signal. I even had service inside Real Canadian Superstore which is notorious for being a cell phone dead zone!
Hope you have better luck with your replacement!

I did cut the sim from micro to nano myself. Could that be causing an issue.
Posted via CB1010-17-14 07:41 PMLike 0 - You could always go to the store and get a new one for free. Worth a try. I got a free one from Rogers when I got a new phone last year.10-17-14 07:49 PMLike 0
- Yes go get a nano sim. I got mine for $10 and it comes with an adapter in case you have to use a larger sim when travelling.

Apps randomly close - a giant pain in the **** with Talk2Watch and my pebble
Swipe-Up unresponsive to turn on screen, especially when moving from flat position on surface, or while laying upright on a surface.
Amazon App Store stopped working properly - Fixed. Problem is when you download amazon kindle reader. If you use a different account on the kindle reader than amazon app store, app store won't initialize.
Virtual Keypad - closes all the time when trying to use, especially with numbers. The expand button also sucks and will have to hit 3-4x
Internet Search Bars (multiple websites). = super laggy
Touch Sensitive Keyboard - scroll feature not compatible with several websites (especially yahoo) ; not sure how it is affected with mobile sites. I have full desktop browser mode on
Shut off - if I put my phone in my pocket upside down, it has a wonderful way of finding the power button and turning my phone off.
Touch Screen Sensitivity - accuracy is an issue. I find myself having to try 3-5x on many occasions to hit the "x" to close an app, or have to tap icons/buttons within apps/OS multiple times for it to register.
Photo Password - accuracy is horrible.
Will post more if I think of them.

And it is freaking unbelievable how limited the touch sensitive key board is. I mean... you can't even swipe through multiple home screens with it? Come on BlackBerry!!!10-18-14 03:08 AMLike 0 - Wow, I thought the screen sensitivity was just me, maybe getting myself accustomed to the extra real estate. But come to think of it, I do find that very often I must tap several times on the x just to close an app.
