AnonD-585417, 15 Sep 2016Hey Friends..i am seeking to buy this phone still confused ... moreI've been using the Priv and the battery has no issues, not even overheating issues. In fact after the Android 6.0 Marshmellow update, this phone performs very smoothly without any overheating.
Blackberry promises to update their system every month and really stick to their promise. Every month you will receive security updates or system updates that optimizes your phone to perform better.
No issues with android apps. All performs smoothly except loading of apps will be slower than other brands due to the encryption of data on Blackberry phones but a little slower loading of apps isn't an issue, just be patient

Look at the image below.

Go over all the apps, you do not need or deemed not essential to your use. Deselect first the marker "Show Notifications" (below the Force stop)
1. Click on the Force stop button for those apps you dont like to be running. (they will still be in your listings, just out of memory)
2. Click Disable to those you dont need. It will uninstall some and put some to sleep.
Heating problem solved.
Those apps I have in my memory.

Phone runs hot on some tasks as continues map, video and some big downloads, but it cools quickly once you turn those off. Also once you are done with the phone, click on the square button below and clear all the log. It clears the memory.
It seems Snapdragon 808 is throttling with many files in the memory.
Also, go to the settings select More and tap on Cellular Networks/Preferred network type, select only those who are supported by your current wireless provider. Avoid using Global.

This has been my daily driver for the entire year, I love the software. I love how blackberry has made the priv more and more like bb10 with continuous upgrades to the hub and dtek for security.
I love the keyboard, in fact , I almost never use the vkb unless I'm in a real rush.
The battery is OK. Gets me through the day, il unplug at 6 , do my daily tasks like email , bbm , whatsapp , browsing , YouTube, and then il get home around 6 with about 20-25 percent left.
Play with it until 8 or so and itl be down to 5. That's all I need.
It's made for my needs so all the people slating this device clearly haven't given it a chance to evolve. I can assure you, the priv that launched with lollipop and the one that has marshmallow now is a completely different beast.
It's cool with gaming although on a serious note I'm not one for gaming on my device,
This is such an awesome productivity tool. I don't know why people don't give the priv a chance.
This will be my phone for the next year as well until hopefully a priv 2.0 launches. Then il upgrade hopefully.
I have no problems at all. No heating , no poor battery , no lag etc. It's my 2nd best phone I have owned after my passport. Give it a try , or not. Either way you missing out on being different , on being privileged.

I had some heating issues, but I solved them quickly, so the phone is working great. Way better then the LG G3 junk I had before. On the moderate, to heavy use, the CPU temp has to be around 32-35C, on low to moderate use anywhere from 28-32, on sleeping mode lower then 24C. Keep the phone flat on the face site and it will go to sleep mode. Battery is rarely drained at that position.

Priv is a piece of junk. phone does not have reception. am within 2 kms of Rogers tower,(my cell server), classic gave me full bars reception, Priv gives less than 1/2 bar and drops calls continually. paid 800+ bucks for it and will likely have to go back to classic or another brand.
