As expected, thanks to the heads up from the beta releases, BlackBerry has now started rolling out the September Android security patch update for Priv and DTEK50 owners. Keep in mind, the updates start with ShopBlackBerry, Amazon and otherwise factory unlocked devices. If you purchased your device from a carrier, then you are reliant upon their update schedule.
If you're looking for the full rundown of the security bulletin, you can head on over to the BlackBerry Knowledge Base where it has been posted for your viewing pleasure. If you are not already seeing the update, you can head into Settings, then About phone and then from there, System Updates.

Still waiting on my factory unlocked DTEK50. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be removing the sim or something?

BlackBerry Passport, or Pass out without it! - WINDmobile HSPA soon to be LTE with latest bb10/QNX software.
Since I've updated my DTEK app reads poor device security status due to operating system being compromise :s anyone else get this?????

I got the 6 Sept., 2016 update (from AAG153 to AAG202) from AT&T this morning.
That is a scary looking set of vulnerabilities.
PRIVateering since 2015.
AT&T is getting pretty good with the updates. Got the August one last week and now have the notification for another software update

Apple given beta update for all his customer not like BlackBerry.
Posted via CB10
Awesome - another patch I won't get because Verizon can't keep up!
Got it, STV100-4 on VodafoneUK :-)
I thought the DTEK50 is the most secured Android device? Then why does it need this security patch?
Always the best strives to be better. That is how it got to be the best in the first place :-)
It really doesnt even

BlackBerry os 10 abandoned.. Atleast make it open source.. community will provide updates ;)

Verizon. I pay the bill every month on time. How long I gotta wait for god dam security updates?

I got my update this morning on an unlocked phone running on chatr mobile network. I hope bb10 should get some love soon.

Hi, I have purchased an AT&T unlocked phone. Does it mean that I can have the update since it is unlocked or will have to wait for AT&T to push the update.
Posted via CB10
Since it's highly likely no one will even notice a difference with the 10.3.3 update, BlackBerry could have released a fake one months ago to avoid all this anger.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
I get what your saying but can you imagine if they did something to that effect and word got out? The media and us, for that matter, would have a field day. All credibility would have evaporated and BlackBerry would certainly be out of business lock,stock and barrel.
I read a lot (on here and now android central) and post very little. However, it is SOOO much fun to post on android central's article covering the patches that my Blackberry Priv got it on release day while several other people including google nexus phones don't have it and are still on June or July patch levels. The more I learn, I see how much work Blackberry does to turn android into a great experience that even Nexus owners don't have because the have stock android and have to build their own environment by downloading a bunch of apps. My experience whether it was on BBOS 7, OS 10.x or now Android, the more built-in features I can use the better my battery life is. Many comment that the reason they bought a nexus was to get patches and updates as fast as possible and Blackberry is beating them (on factory unlocked - all bets are off when it comes to the carriers being in control). Priv is awesome, glad I switched from the passport.
I'm guessing you meant your glad you switched and didn't get screwed over? If I ever have to switch I'm not gonna feel good about it. I'll just not feel that bad If I have the updates they committed to provide, but the last thing I want to do is switch from bb10...

Bla1ze, thanks for commenting on Verizon. I really hadn't seen you comment before so it is nice to see that you recognize how horrible Verizon is with us Priv owners. Now if there was something you could do about it, we would be worshipping at your feet. Haha

Still waiting for 10.3.3!!!

I got it 8hours ago... that was fast...
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Lol got me too. I just knew BlackBerry was rolling out the bb10 update. Oh well back to the salt mines.
Posted via CB10
This update gives my priv error -_- as some of the updates usually do -_- so i'll have to wait for next month for the next update and hope it won't cause an error
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
When is 11.0 coming out? :)
I just updated and my phone blew up. Oops wrong forum, sorry!
Posted via BlackBerry Priv STV100-1
Updated just now. Sweet as an oatmeal raisin cookie.

I woke up to this update from Rogers in Toronto today.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
My last Priv/Verizon update was June 1, 2016. How often are the updates scheduled?
For us poor souls on Verizon, or everybody else? For the former, whenever VZW feels like it, for the latter, on a monthly basis.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android from my Verizon BlackBerry Priv
In the united kingdom, i get one every month.
Does Samsung, LG, and others release patches as fast as blackberry does? Cos I believe this is a gimmick. While others making and selling devices....blackberry is wasting resources patching holes in OS. Why can't Google patch their own software? After all, it's their own software. Oh and by the way....how many of the android users care about those patches? 5, 10...100...1000? It's like BlackBerry cleaning up after Google without with not direction...ie experimenting with Android to see if it sticks....hahahah....
Posted via CB10
They are pandering to Enterprise...
The idea was to move away from BB10 once they've got Android secured. Which will never happen.... :-(
• "Chenterprise. We are the future. Resistance is futile. Prepare to BBe... " •
These android bugs are fixed by Google, not by BlackBerry.
These came out yesterday...is CrackBerry becoming as far behind with these updates as the carriers are?
Posted via my BlackBerry Priv
Received the update today via Telus in Alberta, Canada
The world's most secure phone needs all these updates for a zillion vulnerabilities, I will stick to my z30 even with out the update, feel safer.
Posted via CB10
the update is for Android OS not for DTEK50.
Still has a point although the "android phone" qualifier was missing.
Posted via CB10
Sad that us BlackBerry 10 users still haven't heard anything. I don't have any problems with late updates but a bit of communication would be nice.. BlackBerry has lost my respect. Even a simple tweet would do.
It's nice that BlackBerry android users are getting there security updates though. They'll probably need it more, lol.
Posted via CB10
The thing is If BlackBerry f*cks this up then they'll never EVER have another chance with phones. They better keep those android updates coming or their last hope to stay relevant is going bye bye...
BlackBerry Passport SE SQW100-4/10.3.2.2876
This is the second update within 2 weeks I received for my Priv. Great to see they are committed to their Android devices. Now what about BB10?

Lol real joke dis

Hahahahahahahahaha Verizon! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Verizon!
YOU S**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think they heard you. And I doubt they read CrackBerry.
Besides I'm on Verizon too.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
regardless of whether they care or not, VZW needs to do the right thing and support those of us who paid USD 700+ for this phone not less than a year ago.
Ha. I know. But it made me feel better to exclaim it though.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Verizon....well we are still on June's security patch, Lollipop and outdated Hub and other apps. This is getting really old.
Posted via my Verizon Priv
Be sure to let Verizon know they suck.
Your wish is my command. I did that before I even saw your post. Lol.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Be more appropriate if BlackBerry told Verizon
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android on my Verizon BlackBerry Priv
That assumes they haven't. BlackBerry can only do so much. They delivered the updates to Verizon long ago, it's up to them (Verizon) to push them out to their customers and they've not done so. BlackBerry isn't the hold up. Verizon is and always has been despite that crap they shovel on their Twitter accounts.
Yup, I know all that. It just goes to show you that BlackBerry has no relevance with Verizon.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android on my Verizon BlackBerry Priv
This is the truth. After dealing with Verizon's arrogance for years, I finally left and went to AT&T. It's not hard to switch folks. I upgraded from a Z10 to a Passport to boot. Next stop...BlackBerry Android. The migration path has arrived.
Posted via BlackBerry Passport
Hi Bla1ze, have you tried reaching out to Verizon?
Lol
Posted from my passport not 'running the google'
We're hoping for some Crackberry investigative journalism on the matter. There have been a few FCC complaints filed.
LOL. LOL. LOL..
What a total joke this company has become!
Posted via CB10 on my ClassicSQC100-1/10.3.2.2876
Do they even care about us BB10 users anymore?

Posted from my Priv.
I'm really happy about that. Last month we didn't get it until Aug twenty-something. Today we have Android security patch level Sept 6th ON Sept 6th. VERY few phones can do that.
Very few manufacturers care to update their devices.

OMG! I've been putting this as one of my top asks since BB10 was launched. It was awesome during the BBOS days to have the ability to add contacts to BBM that only used text messaging.

I miss Videocall because the wife has the DTEK now and it doesn't work
What about 10.3.4? Hahaha
Posted via CB10
Ya I was wondering about that I thought it was supposed to come out in june???
Posted via CB10
Let's see. Blandroid updates monthly. BB10 update every once in a sometime. MAYBE that just tells me how bulletproof BB10 is?
Posted via CB10
I wouldn't say it's bullet proof, there are a few things I wish they would address... I'll say that considering how neglected BB10 has become, it performs admirably. How's that?
Posted via CB10
Had bb10 had the same amount of updates android has since it's release I don't know where it would be right now... we would probably be handling our phones software with our minds or something...

BlackBerry Passport SE SQW100-4/10.3.2.2876
Exactly, can't figure out what people are complaining about. Too many updates? Oh no, I feel threatened! Same people will then turn around and ***** about not getting the latest BB10 update . Sigh.
Posted via CB10
Given how few people are on BB 10, I'd say you're pretty safe from people trying to hack into your BlackBerry device. Who on earth would try to make a virus or malware or anything for a device that has such a small audience? Plus, bb10 OS was created from the ground up and engineered to be more bulletproof (similar to the way iOS is more bulletproof than Android). Android is a security disaster from the foundation to the roof, so that's why it's going to need more security updates.
Posted via CB10
Picture Password included for Dtek50?
Love the way dtek shifty needs a patch every 8 seconds, fills you with confidence...
Posted from my passport not 'running the google'
Seriously? All systems have flaws, good to see them actively patching when they can. I am sure if the world used bb10 OS as it's OS, we would require regular updates as well as it would be a much bigger target.
Posted via CB10
Javascript is the flow... and the GOOOOGLE needs and standardizes the web with these flows.
Good luck kiddies... and don't forget to daily patch your fck phones.
LOL
