AT&T rolling out OS 10.0.10.684 (10.0.10.88) for the BlackBerry Z10

On the heels of the AT&T BlackBerry Z10 announcement earlier today, it looks like things are off to a good start as OS software 10.0.10.88 (OS version 10.0.10.684) is now available OTA. Current users with an unlocked Z10 on AT&T were left out in the last round of updates from other carriers, so this is a welcome update and it will most likely be the same version for AT&T devices at launch. No word of what's new in this version yet, but you can expect it carries over some of the fixes from other carrier updates including battery life issues, calendar & contact fixes and camera optimizations. 

If you're a Z10 user on AT&T, check for updates to get this one going and be sure to report back with your findings. If you're seeing this offered up for other carriers be sure to drop a comment and let us know!

Wonder if it'll be worth popping in an AT&T SIM to grab it even though I have the last update...also I wonder if MVNO's like Straight Talk would roll this out as well or if its just AT&T direct.

TheStoof

I see the update, but I'm on EDGE at the moment. Lame!

thedamian

Are you on t-mo? Regardless when ever you're on edge just nudge your z10 but turning off wireless (going into airplane mode) and wait a second or ten and turn airplane mode off.

blackraven

Hopefully one will be able to turn off LTE...

Snipperdo17

What's the os version difference compared to the one the Canadian carriers got? This is .684 but what did Rogers and them release?

chrispipe

We got. 672 in our 10.0.10.85 release

Camelhmpz

Be careful... the TMo update took away the hotspot feature...

Gator99

Don't have it yet, and still can't access CB Canada (only US), not sure why.

got the 10.0.10.99 update on the Digicel network in Jamaica just now....says general battery improvement, third party apps, etc.

pretty much the same as what's been said before.

these OS update version numbers are pretty confusing though, i was really hoping Blackberry had changed this practice

ldudiaz

Yea those OS numbers and package numbers are extreamely confusing and annoying at the same time, at least to me. I'm not a programmer but that doesn't make sense to me.

bbfanboi

OS vs Package numbers are an implementation specific thing. RIM will be able to answer this. However, most developers use a Release Management System to label software components to ensure they are included for the right software release. All you need to know is that the release numbers will change as the software is "improved". Of course, if TMO requests the removal of a feature, as someone suggested above, then it may go into a future version of the software code. That release may have less capabilities than a previous numeric version; however, that would be considered a "branch" (a deviation) and not what future code will be based upon. Hope this makes sense.

Digicel network in Jamaica ? i tried many times to update with my ja digicel simcard even tried a at&t simcard with no luck. keep on getting the message i that i have the latest os which is 10.0.9.2372

EastCoastBB

Wow 442 MB update, I'll be waiting till I get home. I assumed it would be smaller given I have 10.0.10.85

Being new to BlackBerry from the iPhone, I must say that I hate these carrier controlled updates!

Posted via CB10

Camelhmpz

We all hate the carrier controlled updates too... when I was on the Storm 1 I had if I recall 1 official update and like 10 different leaked updates I used. :-[

drkpitt

Installed. Can't see much difference yet other than a few AT&T icons t such as AT&T Device help, AT&T Family Map, and my AT&T. Hoping to have some battery or network performance improvements but only time will tell.

chaptervstaind83

Im on att...weird question...if im on 4g lte...will z10 show lte icon or just 4G symbol? thanks

bceagle06

mine shows 4g lte

chaptervstaind83

Thats weird...i have unlocked version from Bell and mine shows just 4G...no lte...im in USA and phone is a 100-3 model...am i missing something here lol? thanks

adjdudley21

Yes you are.. You have to get a LTE sim card.. you can't use your current blackberry sim as it is only 4G.... i have the same thing because I just had them cut down my 9900 sim ... waiting to try to get LTE and keep my unlimited, Im afraid they might yank it

toboy

ATT users.....cant you guys just buy an LTE sim from best buy or something and replace your sim from your web account page? just wondering....

Posted via CB10

potatoguy

mine shows 4G LTE on my Bell network , but here in Florida I'm on ATT and it shows 3G with the ATT symbol.

blackraven

Hey drkpitt, can you check to see if you can turn off LTE under network settings?

saxxman

I'm dying to know this too! I'm in a very rural area and even the 3G coverage gets overloaded here. ATT, PLEEEZZZEEE let us switch between different network settings!!!

NinjaB

is the hotspot feature still working?

jhspears

My update was a whopping 732 MB; I have it on my blog to prove it. I haven't noticed anything other than a few AT&T icons.

kidcalis

I have a different version - (10.0.10.90)
O2 UK, had this update 3 days ago!

glennster28

Just checked, Rogers pushed a minor 4mb update. Still 10.85 though.

elite1

Had you deleted any core apps previously? Ate they back now? If so, that's all that was really updated for you. I had this with a 12MV update that just returned my deleted Facebook app.

Posted via CB10

GeneralHerzog

That's the typical Rogers push for one of the Rogers loaded apps that you deleted. Some people would say just create a folder and stick em in there. I'm not one of those peeps. I won't download their pushware. I don't want anything sitting on my device that I'm not using regularly.

bbfanboi

This is likely Rogers specific apps as the folks above has alluded to.

bceagle06

Dammit! I just bought a Rogers microsim card on Ebay to get the update. I figured an unlocked ATT z10 wouldn't get the update until the phone was released :/

toboy

From past experiences.....those carrier specific apps pop up when the specific carrier sims are popped in.....the sim is the trigger.....so you having an att sim would show att carrier apps instead of rogers.....

Lucky for me fido just have the my account app....which i use sometimes.....and nothing else. =)

nick.clute

Since I didn't see a spot in the forums, I'll just leave the comment here that I got the update through my Straight Talk on AT&T SIM, here's hoping the update allows for adjusting the APN...yeah right. 442mB for me and was on .85 previous...update 1 of 2.

mkmilan

Okay, not that aware: there are att z10s with contracts or just unlocked units bought retail elsewhere? Thought att was just US

nick.clute

I would hazard that most of them are unlocked units bought retail, for instance we physically crossed the border to Canada to get ours.

drkpitt

Hi Blackraven, I couldn't see any LTE specific settings or toggles in the interface of Network connections. I was hoping for some indicator, but the phone still says 4G without any other details. I'm not sure I'm using LTE even though my plan is specifically LTE.

Posted via CB10

DjDante

It will say lte

MSL91

Sweet!

datgurl

updating mine here in Houston with AT&T... can't wait to see if I can get the LTE

igotberryfever

ATT pushed the update to my Z10 i got it around 1030 AM :-) love my AT&T!!!!!!

DjDante

What too large for the network? Guess I have to wait. Funny thing I always thought I had the latest version. Ooops

Steven Bolen

Has AT&T blocked the use of "Hot Spot" for the Z10?

adjdudley21

OFcoure they did.. just like bridge internet... you have to get a tethering plan to use it

Ryoohk

I think the blocking of bridge net was BS cause it was still limited no matter what.

pididipop

Carrier controlled updates shouldn't be too bad for the Z10. For Android, they are a nightmare. There are so many Android phones brands, meaning you can wait for months to get an update for your device. We are still waiting for a Jelly Bean update for our Galaxy Note and it was originally promised back in November.

thedamian

No update for me on Tmobile with my dev alpha still at 10.0.10.261..... ;-)

The Hat

I get 34 hours of battery life with you typical daily usage after the update! Enjoy yankees :)

Posted via CB10

Ryoohk

so does that mean the provider decides when to push updates or does BB do the push?

nick.clute

The provider says whether or not it allows the update, but Blackberry is the one that does the management of the OTA.

Just finished updating the phone from .85 to .88...totally feels snappier and the battery life is amazing!!!

Anybody that believes that I have an iPhone to sell you.

EDIT: I should mention that the APN settings were still locked so I'm afraid I'd have to update my SIM card before I'd get any data, problem is I had planned to use Straight Talk instead of AT&T and you can no longer get AT&T on ST. Oh well...also this forum doesn't allow additional spaces in the comment because I was hoping to put a little space between my sarcasm and my sarcastic reply to myself.

toboy

Go with T-mobile pay as you go....their apn should work on the device automatically.....if you dont mind T-mobile.

jrohland

Luckly, I have access to an AT&T SIM. I'll test if I can get the update later today.

AlwaysSmile

I got a SIM with T-Mobile on the Z10 and I never got the update, is it already out? If yes how could I force push it to my phone?

trout1000

I have tried to up[date..gets to 16% and restarts..any suggestions

jchavealot

Still waiting for update through stupid Sasktel!

Posted via CB10

Outlawstorm

Sasktel sucks,,, man a company Like AT&T releasing the update when they havent even starting selling the Z10 phones yet. Sasktel has had them since Feb 5th and yet no updates to the OS from them yet. Unbelievable.

I know I wont be renewing my contract with sasktel after mine expires

jrohland

I went to settings Software Update, Check for Updates with the AT&T SIM inserted. Got 10.0.10.88 installed. Don't notice anything so far.

bighoward305

Got the update...no big changes thus far but it looks like you can manage the notifications of side loaded apps via settings. seems to run a little smoother.

tailc

It's definitely a lot more responsive; LTE speed really has improved averaging 13 down and 7 up (Virginia). One item I did notice in the BB world that never noticed before, there is a "Update" tab.

Answering a previous post I still have my mobile hotspot and tethering in my network connections.

Drew Oswalt

Thanks. Hope mobile hotspot and tethering are never disabled by big blue.

BR Shrinet

When Os update I will get in Kuwait for unlocked z10.

Frehley

I just downloaded and I still have the mobile hotspot. Haven't had it long enough to comment on any other improvements.

medic3160

Love that this got pushed out today! Just finished a 700+mb update. Still not seeing LTE though. My sim is brand new. Hmm.

Posted via CB10

Frehley

Mine has displayed the 4GLTE symbol since I had it activated...do you have an LTE sim card?

Frehley

I also went to the local corporate AT&T store and had my Z10 switched to the BlackBerry unlimited plan. Since the Z10 was not provisioned in AT&T's system when I received my unlocked one, it was originally set up with a generic LTE plan.

datgurl

I was told no 4Lte plan in the system here yet :( for AT&T called and went into the store. Also I hadn't noticed a change in my Z10 since the latest update.

Posted via CB10

macallik

I don't notice any improvements with this update. Mine shows AT&T LTE when I am in an LTE area and 4G for HSPA+ areas.

Is it me or is there a problem with updating OTA with the Z10 version stl-1002 with AT&T. Just comes back with no updates found, also tied updating the web way and still no joy. Any answers out there?

Lowie Carandang

I have an unlock Z10 from Dubai version stl-1001 and Im on AT&T i dont see any updates for me. :/

BruvvaPete2

For about the tenth time now I've seen update 10.0.10.85 sent to my inbox. What's up with that?

BIGPOPPA_T

Outlawstorm, your silly to go with any other provider in saskatchewan, no other company has the coverage or customer service. No company is perfect lol and all to get an update a few weeks earlier. Bell just released it. They probably released it because AT&T is the company that BlackBerry used to give all the people in the us the z10 at the product launches. Oh and if you really want the updates go to bell Telus or Rogers and bug a sim card and put it in your phone connect it to wifi and you should get the update

StuBop1

i have an unlocked z10 on At&t and I only have version 10.0.10.261 is there another update out there?

ladhanikarim

I have the same situation, I have a factory unlocked OEM Z10 with an ATT sim, it was already at 10.0.0.261 and when I check for updates, nothing :-(

yangtianshen8894

for which version of Z10 is this update?? I'm using STL100-1 and no new update when I checked :-s

kevincaesar1

Im stuck at .261 and cant get LTE. Any way i would manually download that?

kevincaesar1

Can you guys at least get LTE?
