    I got the Play store alright, on by BB passport, and installed Viber, but after I submit the phone number it just stays for 5 minutes in status "Activating Viber" and then nothing happens. Any suggestions how to fix this? Thanks.

    It only shows apps that are compatible with 32-bit Android 4.3.

    In any event, this is the last known version to at least partially work:

    Thank you for the prompt reply! I managed to install it, however after I give it the phone number it gets stuck in "Activating Viber" for about 5 mins, after which...nothing, it just returns to the page with the phone number. Tried multiple times, the same thing. So I guess this means the app is not working on my BB?

    I don't use it, so I'm not sure. All I know is that this is the last version that was known to work on BB10. It is quite possible that server-side changes has now made it unusable for good on BB10.

    My Passport sleeps with no charge for about 2 months in a box, waiting for the last update if it comes before EOL arrives.

    I followed instructions but skipped installing "com.google.android.gsf.login-4.4.4.apk". Then, I tried installing few apps including WhatsApp; a Google Play services not supported message appeared. I nstalled com.google.android.gsf.login-4.4.4.apk, reinstalled apps but no difference.

    What should I do know? Wipe and start over with the correct order?

    This is my order; do I use incorrect order or I miss something?
    Install com.google.android.gms.
    Install com.google.android.gsf.login-4.3.3.apk.
    Install cobalt.blackberry.googleID.
    Install com.android.vending.
    com.google.android.gsf.login-4.4.4.apk

    This method of getting the PlayStore on a BB10 device is getting really ancient, and probably more of a battery hog than anything else.
    I suggest using Yalp (fork) to download apps, it's a Google Play Store client.

    https://f-droid.org/repo/com.github....lpstore_46.apk

    If you get a message saying an app needs Google Play Services, in many cases it will work to just tap outside the warning box.

    I installed Yalp and removed other google apps (from this thread).
    Yalp worked for WhatsApp but not for Uber nor Careem:
    Uber asks me to check internet connection when I provide my phone number.
    Careem still requires Google Play services. [Update: it opens in 1 minute but still can't log in properly (incorrect number or password)]

    How do I get any of these apps to work properly?

    Thank you.

    Try the mobile website?
    Uber I don't think there's an app that will work on BB10, but Careem I don't remember seeing mentioned before.

    I tried Careem website with Chrome (default browser is incompatible). It is sluggish and unfriendly, but works (didn't order yet).

    Remove all of the Cobalt stuff, and install Yalp.

    Just use Yalp. The ancient Play Services for BB10 won't allow purchases anymore anyway.

    could a very big SD card (1 TB) cause those problems?

    In the past, it was no problem - but, that was on a Q10 - now, i am on a Classic..

    I've never used WA but I know that sending pics has been a problem many times before. Do a search here on the forum and you should find some threads on that. At this point, things are just breaking down rapidly on the (now) ancient BB10 OS.
