Z30 followup...

Well...it's been a week that I've been with my first BB...the Z30...and I have a few things to say...
Being with a Droid for the past two years...I took the plunge...with concern...to something I thought would be a more productive phone for me...and I was right!!
I have to say...I have not had in my hands an easier...faster..."just right" phone than what I have now in my Z30!!
Now not to say that a Droid cannot be configured to do what this BB does but not knowing what the BB does lead me to accept the Droid as is and not look any further...
I love the Notifications on the Lock Screen...the preview...the tap to take you there...it's all works flawlessly...quick and simple and saves so much time!!
The Hub is great as well...one place does it all...no opening multiple apps to accomplish a task...and that said...the ability to close an app...not just put it in the background to forget about it while its draining your battery LOL!!
All apps I had on my Droid I have on my Z30...having only to install a few through Snap...which does what it's suppose to do...
The whole idea of Protect is brilliant!!
Getting used to the keypad now
Everything about the OS is designed to get you to where you want to go quicker and help you do things quicker!! I love the way it multitasks!!
The sound is fantastic!! Better than any Droid I've heard...
The camera is sufficient for my needs...
The Browser I can live with...I'm used to Dolphin...
The Phone is great...conference calls...it's all good!!
Haven't had a chance to BBM yet...
So...all said...I'm very happy and satisfied with this phone one week in...as long as the hardware stands up...BB will have a new convert!!
Toodles!!

  • Satellite Z30 vs Portege Z30

    From what I can tell (and have confirmed with Toshiba Customer support) the Satellite Z30 is identical to the Portege Z30 except for the following differences:
    * The Portege Z30 has Active Management Technology (AMT), allowing certain remote administration for enterprise environments
    * The Portege Z30 has a 3 year warranty (as opposed to the Satellite's 1 year)
    * The Portege Z30 is preinstalled with Windows 7 and Windows 7 system restore partitions (and Windows 8.1 media provided) whereas the Satellite comes preinstalled with Windows 8.1 system and restore partitions
    My question is whether the roll out of an image taken from a Portege Z30's Windows 7 installation will transfer to Satellite Z30 machines? I suspect there will be no issues with the hardware, but am curious about the Windows activation and whether the SLP key on the Satellites will match the Portege.

    I don't have time to check exact difference because these two models because notebooks are country specific products and it can happen that offer in your country is not the same as in some other and you can check this by your local dealer.
    Anyway, at first I must say that that Portege notebooks are business line products. Satellite models are more for people who don't have some special needs and mostly common notebook users.
    With Portege line Toshiba offers some benefits like better hardware, more options, very often two operating systems, maybe some additional software and of course different warranty conditions.
    According to this Portege notebooks are more expensive.
    Back to your question: recovery image is specific image designed for certain notebook model.
    I don't know which Portege do you mean exactly. Toshiba offers Z30-A and Z30T-A. For instance Z30-A is offered as 6 different models. You know it is not easy to say how it will works.
    Theoretically you can try to install this image and see what will happen.
    I don't know if you will be so lucky to find someone here who can confirm that such installation will be 100% OK.

  • I dont see a Holster icon in the Z30 settings menu

    How do i set the notification settings for email, text, email, etc for my Z30 while it is in the holster? In the user guide it says ;
    1. In the Phone app, swipe down from the top of the screen. (done)
    2.Tap > Holster (I dont see this icon...)
    I am having a Z30 with BB10 OS 10.2.0.224

    currently there are no holster settings like there was in BBOS 7 and prior

  • Sim error MM#3 (If it isn't the sim, could it be hardware related?) - Z30

    So yesterday I get off a phone call and I get kicked off the mobile network. I look in settings and it is shifting from Bell then to Rogers (I'm on Telus) with sim MM#3 error.
    I called support, and they told me everything is fine on their end. So I tried a restart and it fixed the problem. But today, I had the same MM#3 message after ending a call. Another restart and it's fine. I called Telus again and this time they said remove the sim and put it back in. Did that.
    The phone is working still, but if it happens again I'm not sure what to do. Obviously I'd get another SIM, but I'm also curious it it could be hardware related? I've had the Z30 since November 2013 and I've never had this issue before.
    Any thoughts? Is there any way to run a diagnostic on the phone itself to test for hardware issues?

    I would also recommend a new SIM card. I haven't seen this issue with other #Z30 devices.

  • Buy Unlocked Z10 or Z30?

    I plan to purchase one or the other, eventually. Direct from BlackBerry, the Z10 is $300 and the Z30 is $500 (although the Z30 doesn't appear to be in stock at the moment). Those are great bargains from my standpoint; although, I assume that those prices stem from poor sales volumes. I'm just not sure which is best for me. I already have a PlayBook - which I'm happy with - so I have some familiarity with Blackberry. My thinking is that since I already have the PlayBook, is the larger screen size of the Z30 going to be worth the extra cash and larger form factor? Here are some factors to consider:
    > I'm not much of a gamer, nor do I stream much audio or video.
    > If I'm at home, I would probably do any internet surfing with the PlayBook.
    > While I'm out, the main activities would be messaging, checking email, brief internet activities like checking an address, making a payment, taking a few pics, etc. And, of course, making rare phone calls.
    I know the Z30 has superior battery life, but since I'm unlikely to engage in major battery draining activities, is that really an issue? Is the removeable/replaceable battery of the Z10 much of an advantage? Batteries degrade over time and eventually require replacement. What do you do with a smartphone when a non-replaceable battery no longer holds a sufficient charge?
    Have I talked myself into going with the Z10? Are there any other factors that I'm not considering here? 

    It's very interesting theme and You definitely have to think about it some couple of time. Difference between Z10 and Z30 don't lies at battery replacement ability only.
    Z30 is far more "techy". It has USB OTG function; it means You can connect external keyboard and mouse and any kind of another USB device and it is possible to connect multiple devices when USB hub is used. Again, Z30 has Miracast function, it means You can connect large monitor or TV wirelessly.
    Both functions above mentioned with appropriate software presents on BBW give you option to make wireless deal with Your PC remotely.
    Also Z30 has FM radio which absents on Z10.
    For me, they are very cool features but guess what smart I have? Yes, I have Z10.
    Main Z10 pros are size and weight, and after I got both devices in my hands all questions gone, because I don't want to have some kind of spade for digging grass beside my house and I'm not teen with extraordinary size pockets to carry 5' device. It's big and that's all. I don't want it.
    I forgot to mention: Blackberry's choice to make battery non-removable is clever idea: not battery limits its life but display type: Z30 has AMOLED display, i.e. organic LEDs. Time of their degradation for current technology is somewhere about 3 years

  • Z30 not boot: no screen, not led lights, nothing...

    Hi,
    I can't believe this is happening to me. it's mt 4th blackberry, but something like that never happened before.
    I have z30 for a year now.
    today, after finished a phone call and starting a new phone call, the phone calls app stop responding. so I decided to restart my phone.
    I did a restart (with the menus) and the blackberry stuch on the white blackberry logo. I tried a several times, with charger without charger, I pressed a 5 seconds on the power menu to get it restart over and over and the same result.
    after the red light the blackberry white logo appeared on the screen and that's it. I waited an hour, but it's just stuck there.
    I didn't install any new apps lately.
    so I connected the blackberry to the pc and try with the blackberry link software to do a manufactor reset.
    it's failed right at the beginning. It's look like when the red light appear it connected to the pc and when the blackberry logo appear it's disconnected from the pc.
    so I thought to make an os upgrade. I just don't care anymore about my data, just to get the phone work again.
    so I downloaded a new os version from here and it start ok. detect the blackberry, start to load the image and the about 30% it says "failed to load image" and that's it.
    the blackberry now dont even start. no lights when pressing the button, tried to reinstall the os upgrade, nothing....
    is my blackberry z30 is dead?
    can I do something to fix it? buy a new motherboard or something?
    thanks for your help...

    My opinion its just a bad luck. Hardware parts can start to malfunction.
    My Toshiba notebook has been running since 6 years without any troubles.
    My parents bought an notebook from another manufacture. After two days the motherboard died. Simply bad luck it was pity but the dealer replaced the faulty unit and since then it runs ok.
    Mostly its not matter what notebook you would purchase. Such issues may happen simply.

  • Z30 freezing and shutting down

    I am on my 2 nd z30 in 2 weeks and they have both had a problem with freezing and shutting down, sometimes in mid use and sometimes on its own, can anyone?

    Hello soggy001
    Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com
    Make restarted the z30?
    If your problem evidences the persistence
    Apply a hard reset keep the power button for 30 seconds.
    Regards.
    I recommend you make a reload of the BlackBerry OS Link
    Connect your z30 and run BBLink
    Then go to preference and press the reload option software
    Let the process do all your work, and then you start setting your BB
    And load your backup.
    And let us know if your problem evidences the persistence.
    You must have the latest version of the BlackBerry Link installed.

  • Z30 availabili​ty Orange / O2 Uk

    Just a quick question on the availability off the Z30.
    My business contract is up for renewal at the end of November. Im wanting to stay with Blackberry and im very interested in the Z30. Im currently with Orange and due to my geography of my work area i need either them or O2 as a provider.
    Whenever ive spoken to someone from Orange / O2 when the Z30 will become available, i just keep getting a shrugged shoulder answer, and been advised to speak to yourselves directly for any more information on this ?
    Im unable due to work / security to purchase the phone though Carphone Warehouse (CWP) or other similar companies and has to be a direct from a major network provider.
    Any help i would very much appreciate.
    Cheers.

    The BlackBerry forums are not a formal support for BlackBerry most answers you get here will come from volunteers (such as myself).
    Even if someone from BlackBerry were to read this posting I think it very unlikely they would tell you as they will have contracts and confidentiality agreements in place with Orange / O2 preventing them from doing so.
    You'll just have to keep checking the O2 and Oranges sites.
    Perhaps next time you talk to them threaten to leave unless they can guarantee you get one or ask to extend your contract by a month.

  • SAP Standard Followup Action for Material Movement at the time of UD.

    Does anyone know if SAP offers a standard Followup Action that once completing the Automatic Usage Decision, it will perform a Material to Material movement at the same time. 
    Exampe: I have two Materials with different Inspection types and Inspection Plans that will get processed and made into CP14.
    1) CP14H - Incomimg Inspection Type Z01
    2) CP14.B1 - Inprocess Inspection Type Z04
    Both materials get assigned to the correct plan.  They are then tested for required characteristics.  If all are in Spec, an auto Batch Job complete the UD.  At the same time I want to do a Material to Material movement to CP14 Unrestricted Stock for both inspection lot types.  Right now to do the Material to Material movement I have to complet a MIGO transaction manually.

    Look at FM QM06_FM_TASK_GOODS_MOVEMENT.
    It is a standard function module that is used in the action boxes in a quality notification to perform a goods movement.  It is meant to be interactive with the user so it won't work as is, as a follow-up action to a UD.  But you might be able to have your programmers copy this FM and use it as a basis to create your own custom code for your follow-up action.  It might save you some time.

  • Creation of followup task with a time delay.

    Hi experts,
    We are configurating a scenario where in a activity should generate a followup task automatically after 30 min.
    I have configured the above using the action profile and date profile. I have used the start condition as :           & planned start date from &  < & current date + time&  
    ( I have defined the date rule as :  planned start date from = Today + 30 min  )
    and selected schedule automatically option.
    The problem is the task is created only if I edit the activity after 30 min.
    What more needs to be done for automatic triggering of task without opening the activity.
    Is there any program needs to be running at regural intervals for automating executing of actions?
    Kindly suggest me how to go about this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Madhu

    Thank you very much for your quick response.
    I have tried by using the same condition in scheduling conditions also.
    I dont think there is any problem with the conditions.Because I could able to see the task when I edit the original activity after 5 min.
    The task should be generated automatically without going to the activity.
    Regards,
    Madhu

  • Create "Followup document" in Service Ticket

    Dear Experts,
    I'm performing mass creation for Service Ticket by using IDOC basic type CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_U01.
    At the same time, i need to create a "Followup document" for the service ticket as well, and hence i utilized the segment E101CRMXIF_DOC_FLOW with below field population:
    APPL_SNAME = E101CRMXIF_DOC_FLOW
    RELATION_TYPE = VONA
    RELOBJ_TYPE = BUS2000116
    RELOBJ_OBJECT_ID = 1234567
    RELATION_TYPE_ATTR = A
    I can not get any Followup doc created. Basically i did tried to take off the value for RELOBJ_OBJECT_ID, but it still didn't worked.
    Could you please comment what went wrong? Or any steps that i have left out?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Re: Satellite Z30-A with Win 8.1 - Driver update confusion

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding driver updates. Currently, Windows Update recommends me to update the audio driver (important) and the LAN driver (optional). Toshiba Service Station, however, doesnt offer new drivers for these devices.
    My question is whether I should install these updates (particularly the important one) or if they are not approved by Toshiba yet?
    Moreover, does anyone have a changelog for the new 3.8 Bios?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick replies! I was just tempted because one of the updates was classified as "important", for whatever reason, which are normally those updates that should be installed (e.g. for security reasons). In fact you are right, I dont have any problems with my laptop.
    Sorry, forgot to state the model: Z30-A with Win 8.1
    Any ideas about the bios update?
    Thanks!

  • New BB Z30 Freezing, Docs are unable to Open, microSD card automatically formatted after restart, unable to open Some Pictures, Long time for Charging

    I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
    1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
    2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
    3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
    4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
    5)  My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
    I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
    About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
    About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
    I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%.
