Android app support
Get apps and games designed for Android smartphones and install them on your BlackBerry device with
the Amazon Appstore!
Your device uses BlackBerry Guardian to check the integrity of the Android apps you download to your
device. BlackBerry Guardian can warn you if the app is potentially harmful to your device or data, and
gives you the option to cancel or continue the installation.
Android apps that you download to your device are more closely integrated with the BlackBerry 10 OS.
When you tap the share icon in an Android app, you can share the Android app content with contacts
that are associated with other apps on your device (for example, BBM contacts) or share the information
with another app (for example, the BlackBerry Remember app). Also, on the Accounts screen, you can
view accounts that are associated with some Android apps that you download to your device.

Updated look and feel
Splashes of color, flattened buttons and screen layouts, and new wallpaper and icons – these are some
of the elements you will notice with the fresh new look of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.
Modernized visual elements help you navigate your BlackBerry device and improve your productivity
within apps. In the apps installed with the BlackBerry 10 OS, the action bar at the bottom of the screen
uses color to highlight the next, or next best action. Icons for key tasks remain visible in the action bar to
help you stay productive and get work done. In some apps, for example Adobe Reader, the action bar
disappears when you scroll, giving you a full-screen view of the content.
On the home screen you can see your open apps, and when you swipe left you can see all your apps.
By default, when no apps are open, the home screen displays only your wallpaper. There is no
restriction on the number of apps you can add to folders on the home screen.

in an email message with a single tap, delete the text of the original email when you reply, and
automatically save a draft version of an email message by leaving the BlackBerry Hub.
The BlackBerry Hub has been updated to improve the relevance of suggested contacts. The BlackBerry
Hub suggests contacts that are associated with the email account you are sending the email message
from and that you have communicated with in the last 60 days.

all notifications or notify you for phone calls only when you are in a meeting. When the meeting ends,
your notifications return to your normal settings.
The Calendar app is more closely integrated with the BlackBerry Remember app. You can create a task

more on capturing the moment! And, if you take a picture using Time Shift mode, you now have the
option to save the picture and edit it later.
The Camera app also has new menu options. You can create a panoramic image, and you can set a
higher frame rate (60 fps) when recording a video, which is useful when recording fast-moving objects.

Notifications and ring tones
You can personalize your BlackBerry device by customizing your notifications and ring tones. You can
also turn off all notifications or set your notifications to vibrate. The Instant Previews and Lock Screen
Notifications features allow you to stay up-to-date and manage your inbox without having to leave the

About notifications and ring tones
The global notification settings on your BlackBerry device work like a master switch that either turns on
or turns off the customized notifications that are currently set for apps or contacts. Customized contact
notifications override customized app notifications. For example, if sound is turned off for the Phone app
but is turned on in a customized notification for a contact, the phone still rings when the contact calls
you.
If you want to customize how you receive priority messages in your BlackBerry Priority Hub, you can
create a rule so that messages sent from specific accounts, with a specific subject, or with other criteria
are sent to your BlackBerry Priority Hub. You can also turn on a Level 1 alert for specific messages so
that you receive a custom notification for these messages.
Note: Level 1 alerts override existing notification settings.

Securing your email
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages if you use a work email account that supports S/MIME-
protected messages or IBM Notes email encryption on your BlackBerry device. Digitally signing or
encrypting messages adds another level of security to email messages that you send from your device.
Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that
you send. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you digitally sign a message using your private key,
recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and that the message hasn't been
changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you
encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use
their private key to decrypt the message.
If your device is associated with a CRL or an OCSP server, when you add recipients to an encrypted
message, your device tries to retrieve a certificate status for each recipient. You are unable to send the
message until certificate statuses are received for all recipients. When the certificate statuses are
received, the recipients' names change color, and you can send your message.
Color Certificate Status
Blue The certificate is being retrieved, validated, or the
certificate is valid.
Red No certificate is found, or the certificate is not
valid.
Purple The certificate can't be trusted, is unverified, or is
unknown.
Set up S/MIME-protected messaging
You need to store a private key and certificate on your BlackBerry device to send digitally signed or
encrypted email messages using S/MIME-protected messaging. You can store a key and certificate by
importing the files from a work email message.

things you didn't know you could do.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
A mobile network connection allows your BlackBerry device to make calls and, if you have a data
plan, use data services such as Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an
airplane, you need to turn off your mobile network connection, but usually you can just leave your
mobile network connection on.
Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi network connection is another way to get data services on your device, but unlike using the
mobile network, using Wi-Fi doesn't add charges to your data plan. Your device is designed to try
to use saved Wi-Fi networks before it tries to use the mobile network for basic data functions such
as using the Internet or downloading apps. You can leave Wi-Fi on so that as soon as you're in
range of a saved Wi-Fi network, your device connects to it automatically, but remember that if you
leave Wi-Fi on all the time your battery can drain faster.
Connections between devices
USB
You can use a USB cable to create a two-way connection between your BlackBerry device and
your computer. When you connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, your device
appears on your computer as a removable storage device. Depending on the functionality of your
computer, you can usually use a USB connection to drag files between your computer and your
device.
Wi-Fi Direct connection
When you connect your BlackBerry device to other devices using a Wi-Fi Direct connection, you
can perform actions such as sharing a document without needing an Internet connection. Because
a Wi-Fi Direct connection creates a network, you can connect to multiple devices at the same time.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast connection
Miracast allows you to wirelessly show what's on the screen of your BlackBerry device on another
device such as a TV or computer monitor. To display your screen on a device that isn't a Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED Miracast device, you'll need to connect using a wireless display adaptor or use an
HDMI cable to connect your BlackBerry device to the other device.
Bluetooth technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to create a direct connection between your BlackBerry
device and another Bluetooth enabled device. Although you can transfer files over a Bluetooth
connection, because of its ability to stream content, Bluetooth connections are more commonly
used for actions such as playing the music on your BlackBerry device through a separate speaker
or making calls on a headset that is using your BlackBerry device's mobile network connection.
NFC
NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's used for quickly creating connections between
your BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC you don't need to
enter pairing information to make a connection, so it's useful for on-the-go actions such as
transferring contact cards with people you meet, or grabbing information from a poster that

contains an NFC tag. Depending on your wireless service provider and the applications you have
installed on your BlackBerry device, NFC can also be used to turn your device into a digital wallet
to allow you to do things such as make payments with your BlackBerry device.
Shared Internet connections
You can use your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network to allow other devices to
access the Internet. This functionality is particularly useful if you want to browse the Internet on your
laptop or Wi-Fi only tablet but you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network.
Internet tethering
You can use Internet tethering when you only have one device that you want to connect to the
Internet through your BlackBerry device's mobile network connection. You can connect the device
to your BlackBerry device using a USB cable or, if both devices are Bluetooth enabled, you can
use Bluetooth technology instead.
Mobile Hotspot
You can use Mobile Hotspot mode to connect up to eight devices to your BlackBerry device. (The
number of devices that you can connect depends on your wireless service provider.) Connecting
your devices using Mobile Hotspot mode is like connecting to a Wi-Fi router; you can use the Wi-Fi
connections on your devices, but you don't need access to a Wi-Fi network.
VPN connections
You can connect your BlackBerry device to a virtual private network (VPN) over your mobile network or
using a Wi-Fi connection. While your device is connected to the VPN, you can send data to and receive
data from the private network across the public network.
Turn on airplane mode
In some places, such as on an airplane or in a hospital, you need to turn off all the connections on your
BlackBerry device. Airplane mode lets you quickly turn off your connections and, when you're done
using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode restores the connections that were previously turned on.

Troubleshooting: Wi-Fi
I can't connect to a Wi-Fi network
Start by checking for these basic issues:
• Check that you turned on the connection to the Wi-Fi network. On the home screen, swipe down
from the top of the screen. Verify that the Wi-Fi icon appears blue.
• Check that you're in a Wi-Fi coverage area. If you're connecting to a home network, see if other
wireless devices are able to connect. If other devices can't connect you might need to reset your
router. If you're connecting to a work Wi-Fi network or a hotspot, talk to your administrator or an
employee at the hotspot.
• Your connection might have timed out. Try connecting again.
• If the Wi-Fi network that you want doesn't appear on the Wi-Fi settings screen, it might be hidden. If
you know the network name, try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.
• Check that Mobile Hotspot mode is off. If Mobile Hotspot mode is on, your device can't connect to a
Wi-Fi network.
If none of the suggestions above solve your connection issue, try these more advanced troubleshooting
options:
• Check that the time on your BlackBerry device is synchronized with the network time. If the times are
different, it could prevent your device from connecting (for example, if connecting to the network
requires you to have a certificate on your device, and the certificate has an expiration date).
• If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, try switching to another Wi-Fi network.
• If your email account is a work account, your device might prevent connections to certain wireless
access points. For more information, contact your administrator.
Still not connected? OK, try the following:
• Check that the settings for the Wi-Fi network are correct. To find out which settings to use, for a
home network, refer to the information that came with your router; for a work Wi-Fi network, talk to
your administrator; for a public hotspot, refer to any information provided for the hotspot or talk to an
employee at the hotspot who might have details about how to connect.
• If you use the Press WPS button on Router setting in Wi-Fi Protected Setup, check that the Wi-Fi
router uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and that it is set to send its profile. Verify that another device is
not also attempting to connect at the same time, and that not more than one Wi-Fi router within
range is set to send its profile. For more information, see the information that came with your router.

the network. For more information, talk to your administrator.
• If you use EAP-TLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, check that you installed your authentication
certificate on your device. The authentication certificate must be installed on your device before you

Keyboard input methods
An input method enables you to type words or characters that are not available using the characters on
your keyboard layout. In some cases, input methods give you a phonetic approximation of a word based
on the keyboard layout you are using. Your device can then suggest a character or diacritic based on
the sound you choose.
In other cases, input methods provide you with gestures and key combinations for languages. Some
keyboard input methods are common to all supported languages, such as word prediction or selecting
accented characters by pressing and holding keys.
All keyboard input methods also support using key to access symbols.
You can use your BlackBerry device in many different languages, regardless of the default language you
select. However, the differences between the languages you use may mean that you need specific tips
to use your BlackBerry Keyboard with a language that is different than the default keyboard layout. For
example, if you use a language that has more characters in the alphabet than the language that your
keyboard supports, you need to know how to access those additional characters.
Typing in other languages
You can set your BlackBerry device to recognize three different input languages when you type. As you
type, your device makes predictions based on each of the language families. For example, if you use a
Latin-based display language, predictions appear for any of the configured Latin-based languages.
Similarly, if your display language is Korean, it will not display Arabic or Latin-based suggestions. When
you set more than one typing language, you may need to consider the following:

About BlackBerry ID and BlackBerry Link
Your BlackBerry ID is a username (email address) and password used to access multiple BlackBerry
products and services, such as BBM and the BlackBerry World storefront. In many situations, your
BlackBerry ID allows BlackBerry products to work seamlessly without prompting you to enter your
username and password.
If you don't have a BlackBerry ID and you want one, you can create it from BlackBerry Link.
When you sign in with your BlackBerry ID in BlackBerry Link or BlackBerry Blend, your computer
becomes another device that is associated with your BlackBerry ID. All your devices associated with
your BlackBerry ID appear in BlackBerry Link.

your computer, as long as they are associated with the same BlackBerry ID you use in BlackBerry Link.
You can turn off remote access for specific devices.

Point the compass to true north or to magnetic north
You can choose to navigate with your compass using either true north or magnetic north. Magnetic
north, which is what a standard compass points to, can be influenced by several factors and isn't
constant. True north, or geographical north, is what you would see on a paper map and is constant. If

The Smart Tags application explained
The Smart Tags app takes bits of information and transforms the info into a smart tag. Info can include
text, websites and other URIs, phone numbers, email addresses and connection information. You can
copy the smart tag to an NFC tag, display it as a QR Code, or you can pass the smart tag directly to
another BlackBerry device. The Smart Tags app allows you to store the smart tags that you receive and
use them or pass them on later.
Instead of handing out business cards, try creating your own smart tag that contains your contact
information so that with just a click, recipients can call, text, or send you an email. Have an event coming
up? Try making a smart tag that contains the event information, then copying the smart tag to a
writeable NFC tag that is attached to a small gift for your guests.
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your
administrator's settings, and your BlackBerry device model.
Scan a QR Code, barcode, or an NFC tag
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your

About BlackBerry Balance and your work space
BlackBerry Balance technology helps address corporate security concerns without limiting personal use
of your BlackBerry device. If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance, the device data, apps, and
network access are separated so that you have a work space and a personal space. The separate
spaces help you avoid activities such as accidentally copying work data into a personal app, or
displaying confidential work data during a BBM Video chat. If your administrator turns on BlackBerry
Balance, your adminstrator can also specify security policies that turn on and turn off features on your
device. For information about the security policies set on your device, contact your administrator.
By default, your device uses the personal space. You can it use for activities such as taking pictures,
downloading videos, playing games online, saving files to a media card, and posting on a social
network.

Passwords and locking
There are several types of locks, PINs, and passwords that you can use to help protect your BlackBerry
device.
If you use your device for work, your organization might already have security settings in place, such as
requiring a password to unlock your device.
BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry ID is an email address and password that gives you access to BlackBerry websites, apps,
and services. If you change your BlackBerry device, a BlackBerry ID helps you to transfer data to your
new device. Make sure that you use the same BlackBerry ID for all of your BlackBerry devices.
Log in with your BlackBerry ID to do the following and much more:
• Keep track of your app purchases and payment options from the BlackBerry World storefront.
• Make the most of BBM features, such as backing up and moving BBM contacts to a new BlackBerry
device.
• Start and stop BlackBerry Protect.
Password locking and screen locking
While your device is locked, you can still receive notifications of new email and text messages (SMS and
MMS), make an emergency phone call, view your battery charge level, set an alarm, or take a picture.
To conserve battery power and avoid accidental key presses, lock the screen. To help to avoid
unauthorized use of your device, you need to set a device password.
In your display and security settings, you can set your device to lock itself after a certain amount of
inactivity. You can also write a custom message that displays on the locked screen.
If you forget your password, it can't be recovered. BlackBerry recommends that you back up your data
regularly. By default, for security reasons your device data is deleted when an incorrect password is
entered ten times.

BlackBerry Balance and the work space password
If you associate your device with your organization's network, your administrator might turn on
BlackBerry Balance technology. BlackBerry Balance is designed to separate and secure areas of your
device as work-only or personal-only.
Your administrator may require you to set a work space password to protect files, apps, and data
associated with your organization, such as your work email account. You can use the same password
for both your work space and device.
If you enter your work space password more than the allowed number of times, your work space and the
contents within it are deleted. You can reduce or increase the number of allowed work password
attempts in your Balance settings.
Note: Your administator might not permit you to change some password lock options for your work
space, such as the password requirement or the timeout duration.
Network lock and unlock code
To use a SIM card from another service provider, for example, if you’re travelling and want to use a local
service provider’s network, you can request unlock codes (MEP codes) from your current service
provider, and change the Phone Network Lock settings for your SIM card.
If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter an unlock code, your SIM card will allow
emergency calls only. For assistance, you can contact your service provider.
SIM card PINs
You can set two different PINs for the SIM card in your device. You can use a SIM card PIN to help to
prevent unauthorized use of your SIM card in another device. For example, if you lose your SIM card and
someone tries to use it in another device, the SIM card can't be used unless the PIN is entered correctly.
If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter the SIM card PIN, your SIM card will stop
functioning. To unblock your SIM card, contact your wireless service provider for a PUK code.
A SIM card PIN2 is designed to enable certain phone features like fixed dialing.
To get a SIM card PIN, contact your service provider and turn on SIM card security in your security
settings.
Lock or unlock your device
Tip: A quick tap on the Power/Lock key will put your device to sleep. This should help you conserve
battery power.

and
sign in with your BlackBerry ID. On the BlackBerry Protect website, you can view the current location of
your device on a map, make it ring (even if it's in silent mode), or display a custom message on your
locked device to provide instructions about how to contact you. If your device is stolen, you can

Security settings
You can set and change the security settings for applications on your BlackBerry device, and set up
parental controls to restrict or limit access to features and content. You can use a smart card, and
import certificates from your computer to increase the security of data on your device. And if you need
to permanently delete all data from your device, you can wipe it.
Setting security permissions for apps
BlackBerry 10 OS includes application permissions that are designed to let you control the information
and features that an application can access on your BlackBerry device. For example, you can control
whether an app can access your email, contacts, pictures, or the location of your device. Keep in mind
that some applications require specific permissions to work. You can also help safeguard your device by
downloading apps only from trusted sources, such as the BlackBerry World storefront.
When you open an app for the first time, your device might display a list of the files and features that the
app wants to access. If something doesn't seem right to you, you can reject the app's request to access
an item. For example, you might download a game that requests access to your messages, which might
make sense if the game includes a feature to share your game score. However, if you aren't comfortable
with the game having the ability to compose and view your email messages, you can turn off access to
messages or delete the app. You can view or change permissions for most apps in your device settings.
For some apps, when you install the app, you are prompted to accept or decline all of the requested
permissions. If you decline, the prompt will appear again the first time you open the app. You can't
change the application permissions later unless you delete and reinstall the app.
Change or view app permissions
In some apps, if you turn off permissions, the app might not work as you expect. If an app isn’t working
as you expect it to, consider turning on some or all of the app permissions.
1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2. Tap Settings > Security and Privacy > Application Permissions.
• To view permissions for a particular app, tap an app.
• To view which apps use a particular permission, in the Permissions drop-down list, tap the
permission.
3. To turn on or turn off a permission, tap the switch.
4. Restart your BlackBerry device for the change to take effect.

contacted. You can turn off access to certain apps, features, and content. You can also restrict
incoming phone calls and messages to people in the Contacts app.
Parental Controls settings are protected with a password, making them difficult to change or turn off
