BlackBerry has apparently started to release the June security update for their BlackBerry Priv smartphone.
The update first appeared last Friday and it also comes with a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements as well as the security update.
Key Features of the Update
The June security update for the BlackBerry Priv is designed to address several critical issues that users have been experiencing. This update not only enhances the security of the device but also aims to improve its overall performance and user experience. Here is what is included in the update:
- Bluetooth connects with OnStar briefly but does not maintain connection
- SIM seen as new post device reboot
- Unable to find 5GHz networks
- SIM not detected msg “No SIM card” error
- Bluetooth Sharing stopped
- Phone gets very hot during Skype video chat and then disables up-link audio
- No MP3 track information passed over Bluetooth
- Bluetooth sharing / connection fails repeatedly
- Bug reporter crash on preview screenshot
- Carrier name in status bar is not aligned properly (appears top aligned)
- Device extremely hot after OTA update
- Phone memory issue causing lag and overheating -Class 0 message popup on device reboot.
Detailed Breakdown of Fixes
1. Bluetooth Connectivity: One of the major issues addressed is the Bluetooth connectivity with OnStar. Previously, the connection would drop shortly after being established. This update aims to provide a more stable and reliable Bluetooth connection.
2. SIM Card Issues: Users reported that their SIM cards were being recognized as new after a device reboot, and in some cases, the device would not detect the SIM card at all, displaying a “No SIM card” error. These issues have been resolved to ensure seamless connectivity.
3. Network Detection: The inability to find 5GHz networks was a significant drawback for users who rely on faster Wi-Fi connections. This update rectifies that issue, allowing the Priv to detect and connect to 5GHz networks efficiently.
4. Overheating Problems: Overheating during Skype video chats and after OTA updates was a common complaint. The update includes optimizations to manage the device’s temperature better, preventing it from getting excessively hot and disabling up-link audio during video calls.
5. Bluetooth Sharing: Problems with Bluetooth sharing and connection failures have been addressed. Users should now experience more consistent and reliable Bluetooth sharing capabilities.
6. Bug Reporter Crash: The bug reporter crashing when previewing screenshots was a minor but annoying issue. This has been fixed to ensure smoother operation when reporting bugs.
7. Carrier Name Alignment: The misalignment of the carrier name in the status bar has been corrected, providing a more polished and professional appearance.
8. Memory and Performance: The update tackles memory issues that were causing lag and overheating. Additionally, the Class 0 message popup on device reboot has been addressed, contributing to a more stable and responsive device.
The latest security update should be available for your BlackBerry Priv smartphone sometime this week. It is recommended to install the update as soon as it becomes available to benefit from these improvements and ensure your device remains secure.
