Have a Priv on either Bell, Rogers or TELUS? You'll want to go ahead and check for software updates on your device if you haven't already. All three carriers have now started their push of the Priv's first software update otherwise known as build AAD027. As a reminder, we've outlined the changes in this release below.
- An improved camera: We've implemented a number of tweaks that improve the speed of our camera app, and re-tuned it for better low-light image quality.
- Better performance: We've also tweaked the PRIV's software to improve overall system performance
- Improved stability: The update further includes a number of adjustments designed to improve device reliability and reduce instances of crashing and freezing.
- Enhanced security: Lastly, the release includes December's security patches – rest easy knowing your device is protected against the latest Android security threats.
Needless to say, we're still waiting for AT&T to start their push but we'll let you know as soon as we hear of it starting. Additionally, there has been a few reports of unlocked devices purchased from Carphone Warehouse also receiving the update but we've not been fully able to confirm that. If you've received from Carphone Warehouse, or any other provider not mentioned here then let us know in the comments below or in the Priv forums.

Does anybody have some info as to when the AT&T Update will be released? Neither AT&T nor Blackberry could provide any information.

Wish I did, so far nobody seems to know anything. Two things in life are guaranteed: Delayed At&t updates and taxes
Wish I had another carrier option....

Sorry AT&T guys, but you know full well their priority i taking care of iPhone customers. Every one else takes a back seat.
It's a shame but I believe you are correct. At&t could care less about its BlackBerry customers

My cpw priv updated last night.

It's a cool first update as have fixed the front camera issue as well and as a result is much better in low light no more green streakyness yay :-)

Why do they need to tweak camera instead of just putting the best camera out there in the phone. With the Premium price tag this should not have even been an issue.

My buddy is with Telus. But he can't seem to figure out how to get the update. Any suggestions?
How does it notify you?
Swipe down from the top twice or with two fingers, tap the gear, go all the way down to About Phone, tap System Update and if it doesn't show up tap Check for Update.

Anyone know if MTS has to push the updates, or if it comes automatically since MTS sells BlackBerry devices unlocked?

Need a serious update for improved batter life! Gosh I'm with at&t and I get horrible battery life for a 3410mAh battery :/
Posted via CB10
Of course, I can continue to do my job without access to some apps but I am always having to apologize to co-workers for not having the tools they have. Makes life more difficult.
Posted via CB10
Definitely a noticeable improvement! Nice update!

Wind Mobile tooo
Got the update this morning. Stable thus far, and some things are responding better - it's a little snappier, although I'm going to wait for a while to qualify that (to see if it slows down over time). Took about 30 minutes to get the update done but couldn't really see the download progression (someone said to look for a yellow bar across the top of the screen). No sign of new functionality so far as I can tell, although the Hub could use some with Pinch and multi-select functions. I'm not seeing any improvements with the camera - it's still kind of slow in terms of taking pictures.
Classic AT&T always being behind and **** lol.. I guess they did get the Priv first so I should be nice. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to make the jump to Droid.. wish they would just come out with a 6" BB10 all touch device I could happily make that work for another few years. ;)

I have an unlocked Priv on AT&T and would have gladly paid an extra $100 for a BB10 version of the Priv.

updated - loaded my 128 micro sd and now happy with read/write --- no memory worries for me;
Awesome

...we need a poll. "How long do you think it will take AT&T to release the Priv update?" ...BUT HEY!!! There is more carrier support for BlackBerry now....I will just have to sit here and wait I guess.
I think it will take 60 days for AT&T to release it.

For info, bought mine at Selfridges and got the update today too.
I'm probably one of the few with a Wind Priv, but they also went live this morning with the update. Happily running along now, and solved my SD-Card issues. No other problems so far.
Llegará BlackBerry Priv a Perú?
Posted via CB10
Eso depende de tu operador móvil no de BlackBerry directamente. En Peru depende si es que Telefonica, Claro u otro deciden ofrecerlo.

ATT has to come thru! I am a customer and close to purchasing a PRIV. Love my Classic but need some APPS to do my job
Posted via CB10
I'm just curious, this question pertains to all people saying I need this and that app for work. How did y'all manage your jobs before those apps ever existed?
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
I managed, just in less productive ways.

Jobs change when technology (and software/apps) become available.
People used to do their work without phones of any kind, without artificial light. Etc.

AT&T will eventually come through with the update. It will just be shamefully late as usual.
Posted via the CrackBerry App on Priv
It's the 8th today. They're a day late!! They fail everywhere. Why bother now.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
You must be an AT&T customer.. Still a faster turnaround then likely ever before, so pipe down. :P
Better late than never, but the moral of the story is, buy an unlocked BlackBerry directly from BlackBerry to get fast direct updates... :o)

Closer to the Source... :-)

I thought the Priv was going to get updates independent of carriers?
Is BB10 unofficially dead?
Posted via CB10
Got my Rogers update first thing this morning. Just make sure you don't need your phone for half an hour. Took a little bit to update. But no issues to report
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Does it fix the creaky back?
I stand corrected. That should be no new issues to report.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Nah . Need A535 for that
Posted via CB10
This may just be a rumor but I hear the update adds a setting to enable or disable creaky back panels. :-)
