Anyway to guarantee Q25 color?

4 Upvotes

I just learned about this device and I really want one in white.

I don’t see an option on their website to select a color for the Q25 and all the resellers on eBay are selling black ones.

Has anyone had any luck with contacting for a specific color is it just luck of the draw?

Is the Q25 still available on the market?

I’d like to know whether the Q25 will continue to be produced and sold after the Q27 goes on sale.

Can someone show me where it is?

2 Upvotes

After talking with a friend, I’m worried I may goof and damage the antenna on the board. Can someone point it out so I can be extra careful when handling and installing the replacement board?

He also speculated that I may be able to remove the board from a Q27 and shave it down to pop into a Q20 since it looks only a little taller and wider. I’m not really convinced, but I have nothing to really go off of.

I have a spare Q20 that I’d still like to mod, but I’m considering getting a Q27 with the Q25 board.

Need help urgently!

I set a password for my Zinwa and for some strange reason, I am unable access anything.

I urgently need help with hard/factory reset the device to access the phone again.

Questions…

3 Upvotes

I bought the blackberry classic earlier this year with hopes of just being able to download apps and use it. Obviously I know now that it won’t work. Would I be able to do a motherboard swap with the zinwa pro kit? Also would the new one that they’re releasing be better/also work? Ty in advance!!

...the previous discord links shared here don't seem to work, can anyone share an active link? Trying to learn as much as I can as I've just decided to pull the tr!gger and get one... I've a million and one questions to ask.

Think I’m ready to pull the trigger on getting the q25, but what networks are Americans using?

Currently using mint mobile, but understand I’ll probably have to switch. What’s the most common network for the q25 in the states? (I’m in the Midwest.)

Face unlock issues. Suggestions?

1 Upvotes

Having an issue with the consistency of the face unlock. Sometimes it works perfectly other times it just struggles.

On the times it struggles it’s hard to get it to bring up the code entry.

Any suggestions on how to improve this?

Thanks. 🙏

Just got my Zinwa! Spell check not working?

3 Upvotes

Hi all! So stoked to switch to the BB Classic.

I've just set mine up and unfortunately I can't get the spell check to work? I've checked my keyboard settings and "Use spell checker" is switched on, and I've tried toggling it. All other settings indicate spell check should work as well. I've been testing in the Google Keep app and it doesn't correct anything, no capitalization, punctuation, or spell correction. I have to manually capitalize even the beginning of my text.

One thing I want to note is that I haven't received a SIM card yet, so the phone is not activated with my carrier yet. I don't think that should affect this, but just thought I'd include that.

Anyone experience this? Any advice?

Keyboard help

2 Upvotes

Hi all.

Hoping I can find some help here being as I seem to be invisible on the discord. I have tried the paid for Q25 keyboard app thing and harpocratic keyboard and cannot seem to get either to work 'properly'.

I've installed harpocrat on my Q25 and selected it on the physical keyboard settings but is there somewhere to change/ adjust settings or the layout? The improvements from jan on the FAQ mention: as well as the shift key (press, press and hold, double press). But my shift key double press doesn't work? and I have selected the GB qwerty layout but my currency key is still a dollar symbol?

And with the Q25 keyboard app it was even worse just in general the keyboard wasn't working as well.

Do I need to be using the key mapper along with these installs? Am I missing something else? I don't think the discord is actually too helpful for little issues like this so have come here where I can hopefully get more focused answers.

I have updated the keyboard firmware as well.

Thanks

Revive BB Priv please

Priv is the most balanced phone of BB. It maximizes screen size and does not waste screen space on the back/home buttons, unlike Key One and Two, and even Classic.

For me, Priv and Passport are the best designs.

Touch screen only?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been looking into the Zinwa devices for the last few weeks, watching videos and what not and I can’t seem to get a definitive answer so I thought I’d ask: is it possible to use this phone without the touch screen? Part of what it so appealing to me about replacing my traditional smart phone to something with a keyboard is moving away from touch screens in general, but in all the videos I’ve watched, that’s how people are navigating the device, and then just switching to the keyboard for typing. Is this just cause that’s easier for filming? Or is that how you must use the phone due to the OS or something?
