I have used this phone and sell it because of the unnecessary physical keyboard they put it in this phone :( and two of my friends sell it for the same reason, I have never used the keyboard and it just add weight and thickness to the phone, the thing is bb still believe that they will make more sales by adding keyboard and this is wrong!! it takes space and the buttons are so small, the design will be very limited!!
I think if this phone released without a keyboard with some good features and shortcuts in the BB hubs (&stable software) it will make this phone one of the top phone for variety of users.

Lawrence, 21 Apr 2016apk on my bb z10 was working properly not until 2 weeks ago... moreNot Priv related, but the same happened with my blackberry passport.
Android apps worked flawlessly until last week when the "no connection" warning appeared with Facebook messenger, Facebook Lite and other apps. This only happened with mobile connection, not with Wi-Fi.
It seems that the android apps stopped recognising the mobile connection.
Here is how I solved the issue:
I installed an android app called "Android Assistant"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advancedprocessmanager&hl=en
Since you can't download it directly from the google play store I downloaded it to an android phone, extracted it with "android apk extractor" and sent it to my Blackberry
After installing, you have to choose the "Tools" tab and make sure that the wifi and mobile network icons are "on" (green color).
Everything is working again.
Hope this helps

apk on my bb z10 was working properly not until 2 weeks ago when I can't get them on-line like my fb messenger. Showing not connected to network even though I'm already connected. It has also a note saying that app wasn't inspected, could not connect to Blackberry Guardian. Any ideas on how to fix this? My OS is 10.3.1

Agreed, Priv is a really good phone. Only set back is non removable battery. Much more functional than any available phone in the market....

Everything about the PRIV is great...
Except for that BlackBerry decided to make the battery non-removable.

Too bad Chen came in and immediately gave up on BOS and touchscreen only phones.

I don't know why Chen, Blackberry or Facebook mentioned this as an option ( actually I'm fairly certain I do know...he wants BOS 10.x to go away :< )

I would suggest this. Uninstall the native Facebook app for Blackberry. Go to the web and find the latest Facebook app for Android (or maybe look on Amazon Store through BB Amazon app, might be there?) and download the APK. Once downloaded, install it on your phone. Say yes when asking about allowing install from unverified source (or whatever the verbage is to that effect).
No guarantee that it will integrate with the BB Hub, but it will be a native Facebook app instead of the web app.
Note: I have a Z30 and don't use either of these apps, but I use the Android version of Line (downloaded the APK from 3rd party website). Used the method described for installing the Line application.
