Can't come soon enough! i'm not loading leaks onto my Z10 and I'm looking forward to some of the new features we'll be getting with the OS!

So long as you have a 4G SIM and have 4G enabled on your account then you can use 4G!

When you go into Settings --> Network and Connections --> Mobile Network, is 4G not listed in the Network Mode drop down box?

It is now selected, I get this H+ sign in the top left corner of my blackberry.

Does anyone know if this affects battery life by using 4g or maybe saves it, if it is more efficient technology?

[Anonymous]

H+ is the enhanced 3g service commonly known as 3.9g. It is quicker than H and I find it is perfectly capable of downloading video or tv. I use it to watch tv at lunchtime at work for example.

4g battery life no different to 3g

[Anonymous]

H+ is faster than 3G but isn't 4G I'm afraid! Are you in a 4G enabled area and have a 4G contract?

[Anonymous]

I am in a 4g area as I am in london but I do not think I have a 4g contract, does this cost extra?

[MI5]

Yes, of course, but they were doing some free upgrade deals recently. Best to call 202 and see what they can offer you.

Thanks guys,

Also another question. Does anyone have a blackberry Q5 with the latest update AND they have managed to get the alarm to activiate and to wake the phone when switched off?

If I switch my phone off my alarm won't work...

[Anonymous]

Sorry @Anonymous , sorry I had looked for information on this and forgot to post back.

I can't find any reports of this being a problem, but I think that might be because no-one else is switching their phone off. 

Is there a reason why you are switching your phone off rather than just putting it on silent or into sleep mode?

[Anonymous]

I switch it off at night to save battery etc I tend to only get 1 day use out of a full charge.

I have reset the alarms and I have upgraded to the new software will report back

[Anonymous]

Ah okay, I tend to charge my phone overnight so its fully charged for me in the morning!

I meant to report back that Bla1ze on the Crackberry forums had replied to someone saying that the function you want isn't available yet on the BB10 devices.
