What is WRONG with my passport SE?
So lately this monster is driving me crazy.. it all started with the android runtime error and fix where I was unable to update android apps I have..
I'm running passport SE PassportSQW100-4/10.3.2.2876 on China Unicom. Had no problems till updated wechat about a month ago.. (except the usual bad bbm video voice from china to EU etc. But this can be attributed to chinese firewall and lousy internet.)
I use wechat and didi android apps. Both are a must here in china, first due to the entirety of chinese population is on wechat and you cannot communicate without it, second is a chinese uber. Wechat has a BlackBerry version, but as it does not support payment it's useless here. So I installed android versions of both. Had no problems till a month ago or so ago, when wechat tried to update itself. After update I could not log in anymore. Could get to login screen, even enter the credentials but after that it just froze.
So I tried to download the previous version apk, that worked before. But I couldn't install due to :you have a never version installed error. Even thought I deleted wechat before. So this was the first time I noticed the runtime error.
Followed some fellow ccrackberrians advice and flashed a previous version of android runtime on passport and reinstalled old version of wechat. Worked great. Than phone began to act up. Restarts during the night, bbm video freezing etc. So I backed everything up and did a security wipe.
Restored everything back and it was ok for awhile. Same problems occured soon, so I figured that maybe sth in the backup was defective. Did another security wipe just last week, afterwards I copied contacts from outlook and thats it. Reinstalled all aps from bbw and reinstalled the didi app. (android wechat doesn't work so just went with BlackBerry version - found a workaround the payment).
But now it more horrible than ever.
- passport overheating on calls or when droping from wifi to data or vice versa
-bbm video freezes and I'm unable to disconnect, have to restart phone
-apps crashing
-phone unresponsive
-unable to unlock passport coz onscrean keyboard doesn't show and can enter password
-laggy
-bbm video voice needs a lot of tries to get a stable connection (can still be atributed to china internet)
-universal search not working
-constantly needing to restart phone to reset functionality
-light sensor sometimes not working (keyboard doesnt light up at night)
It's driving me crazy and I'm getting to a point where I'm finally considering abandoning this sinking ship, even though IMHO passport and bb10 are the best thing that happened to mankind since the invention of hot water. However if I cannot rely on the phone, than I cannot use it anymore and will have to cry mysef to sleep every day while setting the alarm on a new useless but reliable iphone....
Please help me out, I wanna keep using my passport but cannot in the current state...
Ps. If anybody form BlackBerry is reading this : s***w u and ur nonexisting customer support.... way to lose customers... and to think I've defended your company and product for over 8 years, promoted and got my entire family and friends on BlackBerry.. I did more promoting that u did when u launch a new phone.!
