- In addition to my earlier post, I sent a BBM to a colleague on Android BBM and noticed that all I had was the check mark and no "D". When I followed up with him he confirmed that his battery died and he had not yet had the chance to connect to a charger; so here we have another circumstance where one might think that there is a network issue. I think we need to tailor our expectations based on how messaging is handled on the various platforms; I think this would make for a good Crackberry post and help with the misunderstanding.

Posted via my Z1010-29-13 11:29 PMLike 0 - The issue isn't with an app at all. The issue is with the service. I don't use BB10 and I don't know anyone that uses BB10. I haven't even seen a Z10 or Q10 outside of a carrier store.
The issue isn't the app, it's the service.
Messages get sent, they do not get dispatched from the servers to the recipients' devices. THAT is the issue.
What you're talking about is a completely different issue that that other poster is not referring to.
It has nothing to do with the Android/iOS app, as the issue persists even between two Android or iOS handsets (or Android and iOS). It's not the app at all, cause the App actually sends the message. The App cannot control when the service/servers dispatch the message to the person for which it is intended, however. That's a service issue.

How does the BB10 app have anything, at all, to do with this?
Please note the delivery pattern. The Check Mark means SENT (At Server). D means DELIVERED (on Device). R means READ (Message thread has been opened on the device after delivery). This BS about Apple devices is all wrong. The check means the server has the message and it has not been yet delivered to the device.
In what foreign planet does the service completely skip a message delivery and that's working as intended? If the user read the second message, it makes no sense that the first message wasn't at least DELIVERED to his device. Something is completely off about the drivel people are spewing in this thread. It makes literally no sense whatsoever.
That person replied 5 minutes after those messages were sent and only 2/5 of them were actually delivered to his device (despite the fact that he opened up the message thread and actually replied to me in the midst of all this), rendering the context of what he received absolutely NIL. You cannot have conversations with this kind of bugginess.
How many people experience the same thing on whatsapp? 2/5 messages get through, the rest never make it, for no reason?
It's a complete joke.
Here's my addition. How the frick can messages be delivered and not read and then a later message be read? How is that even possible?
Real world usage is showing this app to be unreliable, it won't make money or be the number one choice if it doesn't deliver frigging messages.

Posted via my Z1010-30-13 05:35 AMLike 0 - Quite obviously if a phone is dead and off, messages won't be delivered. Why post that in this thread. It's an obvious, but meaningless, red herring. What's your point?10-30-13 07:10 AMLike 0
- I really don't understand how people are jusr glossing over this. It's a huge deal and makes the app unreliable for usage.

Have any of you taken the time to contact the developer with regards to this issue, or are you just hoping that posting here in an fan forum will see it somehow resolved?

Posted via my awesome BlackBerry Z1010-30-13 07:48 AMLike 0 - I don't see making it work as upgrades. I see that as (missing) basic functionality.
Posted via CB1010-30-13 07:58 AMLike 0 - The point of posting either corroborating or contrasting experiences is to help to isolate the root of the problem if possible, not to "distract" from a problem. It's obvious this isn't a "global" issue, so there must be contributing factors. Settle down champ.
Posted via CB1010-30-13 08:11 AMLike 2 - It is quite obvious there is a global issue. While it may not effect anyone, it's widespread enough to be termed "global". 100%. To deny such is to feed ostrich-like behavior of putting head in sand.
