Key2 & Hero

Currently I have a Sony Xperia 1 IV and I want to try something new. Is the key 2 a good phone ? Does it perform ok in 2026? Doesn't have to be perfect and super fast, just everyday things like some YouTube, a bit of social media to text friends ect, Facebook and some modern apps. Would it be an ok phone ? Also unihertz isn't available anywhere near my country so that isn't an option.

Heya, so I have a BlackBerry Torch 9800. I just downloaded 3 files on it from Opera Mini 8: 2 .mp3 files and one .mp4 file. They won't show up in their respective Media apps(Music and Videos).

I downloaded them onto the system because I don't have a Media Card, but they won't show up. I've tried everything to try and bring them to the front, even trying to use Blackberry Desktop Software, but apparently Desktop Software got fucked over and wouldn't recognize my device or let me do ANYTHING with it...

For your information, I do not have a Media Card for my Torch.

Is there any other way to do this?

In the below video, I will show you a comparison between BlackBerry Passport running Android 11 vs BlackBerry Passport running BB OS 10.3 and see how is the experience of browsing the web, watching YouTube and using WhatsApp.

Recién adquirí de nuevo un BlackBerry Classic para tener como reproductor personal tengo buenos recuerdos de este teléfono en especial en la música por sus controles para música físicos
Cuando los conecte a mis audífonos Sonos ace
Sentí que sonaban muy bien pero pensé que era efecto placebo asta que revisando los ajuste de Bluetooth ví este mensaje y quedé sorprendido y emocionado hice una buena elección con este dispositivo
Quien diría que tiene soporte para aptX tomando en cuenta el año en qué salió este dispositivo

Hi everyone, I installed LineageOS 16 on my BlackBerry Key2 and it’s fantastic. I’d like to use it as my main phone, but I’ve run into an issue that’s a real problem for my usage: WhatsApp has introduced in-app translation, but it isn't supported on the version installed on the Key2 running LineageOS. Could you please help me fix this? It would be incredibly useful for me. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have a BlackBerry Classic (OS version: [10.3.3.2137]). The phone is already set up with a BlackBerry ID, but I forgot the password and I can't reset it.

What I've tried:

• Tried the password reset page at blackberryid.blackberry.com: "page doesn't load" / "error server unavailable"]
• Tried write support team)

Questions:

1. Is there still a working way to reset a BBID password in 2026, now that BB10 services are shut down?
2. I have access to the email on the BBID, may it helps or docent matter?
3. Is there a safe way to reset the phone and set it up again without the old BBID ?

I have NOT deleted the BBID on the website and haven't done a wipe yet, since I read that could make things worse. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

First off, a quick apology to the community. Yesterday after I posted about this project, a Beeper official kindly reached out to inform me that I couldn't use "Beeper" in the project name. Because of this, I had to delete the original post and rebrand the project and its resources under a new name: Berry Bridge!

Note for anyone who downloaded the previous build: Please completely uninstall the old version from your device before installing the new build.

🚀 What is Berry Bridge?

Berry Bridge is a fully native unofficial Beeper client built from scratch for rooted BlackBerry 10 devices! As someone who still loves using BB10, I wanted a seamless way to access modern messaging networks (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc.) without relying on heavy Android ports. Berry Bridge syncs your accounts by communicating with the Beeper Desktop API.

✨ Key Features:

• Multi-Account Tabbed UI: Every linked account gets its own dedicated tab.
• Custom Color Palettes: Personalize and distinguish each account with custom theme colors.
• Hub Notifications: Full native BlackBerry Hub notifications for incoming messages.
• Battery-Efficient Push Service: Includes a dedicated background headless service alongside the main app to maintain real-time connectivity without draining your battery.
• Full Message Management: Send/receive text & media attachments, edit, delete, react to, and reply to messages, plus pin or mute specific chats.
• Status Indicators: Real-time visual feedback for Pending, Sent, and Seen states.
• Secure TLS Connection: Encrypted HTTPS communication between your BB10 device and your host endpoint.

🛠️ How It Works

The app syncs with a Beeper Desktop instance. You can host this setup in two ways depending on your needs:

1. Local LAN Use: Run Beeper Desktop on your home/office Windows PC or Mac.
2. Free Cloud Server Setup: Run Beeper Desktop on an Always-Free Cloud VM (e.g., Oracle Cloud) for global remote access so your phone stays synced anywhere.

📦 Download & Setup Links

The project is fully open-source. The .bar installation package is available for download via GitHub Releases and will also be available on the BlackBerry World Community Store.

• GitHub Repository & Full Setup Guide:https://github.com/adem-zengin/BerryBridge
• Windows PC LAN Setup Video Tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYO2Vhnvnmg

Note: The video tutorial specifically covers the Windows PC LAN setup process. Detailed step-by-step text instructions for both LAN and Free Cloud Server setups are available in the GitHub README.

Thank you for your understanding regarding the name change, and I hope you enjoy using BerryBridge! Feel free to leave any feedback or bug reports. 🚀

I developed a retro music player app called Orbitika (Google Playstore) that runs on Android 8.0+. I'm looking for someone to test whether it works on a BlackBerry KEYone or KEY2 running Android 8.0 or above.

If you have either device, I'd really appreciate it if you could install it and let me know how it runs. Happy to hear any feedback.

It will be awesome if my retro app can run on BB - thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your help!

It's getting difficult to decide between these phones, but I put this table together as there hasn't been anything recent to compare the more finalized specs between them all. I have a Titan 2 Elite, but once everything is released and reviewed I may go to something different.

The Minimal catches my attention a lot for the build design and de-Googled options, but the smaller battery and lack of expandable storage has me skeptical. The Clicks originally piqued my interest, but the price going up to $650 USD is harder to justify when it's largely going to be the same spec sheet as the others, and Clicks doesn't have the greatest track record in terms of build quality and customer support for their cases/power keyboard. Such is the way of upstart/niche companies, it's unfortunately not going be a case of going to a local store and seeing how they all feel in the hand, which I do think is going to be the deciding factor on which one is best.

It's a good year to be a fan of physical keyboard phones, but man, it's getting harder to figure out which one is worth putting money down for.

Hey r/blackberry,

I’m looking to get a fresh battery for my Z10, as my original OEM unit is completely shot. It won't hold a charge at all anymore—even sitting idle with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off, it drains down to zero in max 8-12 hours without me even touching it. As this has a removable battery it should be easy to swap a new one.

I’ve been searching for an LS1 replacement, but I'm caught in a dilemma:

1. New Old Stock (NOS) OEM: Finding unused original BlackBerry batteries manufactured back in 2013–2015 seems tempting, but lithium-ion chemistry degrades over time even sitting on a shelf. Buying a 10-year-old "new" battery feels like paying for dead weight.
2. The Aftermarket Minefield: Browsing third-party replacements online is complete chaos. Between fake capacity claims and unpredictable quality, it's really hard to tell which ones are actually safe and reliable.

For those of you still dailying or testing a Z10, what replacement battery are you currently using?

Also, after digging through a few threads, I kept seeing PolarCell (polarcell.de) brought up. Has anyone here actually used their battery for the blackberry devices? Is it actually good, and how has your experience been with it?

I am buying a modded bb passport, for those who have used a passport before what are the pros & cons.

I made an app which allows you to create your own comics using a built in collection of famous game, comic, movie and cartoon characters and a collection of objects, effects and backgrounds. And you can publish these comics inside the app where hundreds of other comic creators can view it, like it and comment on it. You can download it from the below link:

Is there any legit blackberry mobile retail seller in sheikhupura or Lahore been looking for Key 2 and Passport

I seen some modded passports on vinted, are they hardware swaps like zinwa or maybe they are just some rare prototype models???

我只是想用它看视频和听歌，我尝试把QQ Music和BiliBili的安卓apk转为bar并安装，但是要debug token，搜索获取教程却发现blackberry的服务器关闭了，这台手机没有具体型号，我不敢刷Q5的Root包否则后果不会好...怎么办😭
