- Improving the existing Priv without making any drastic changes.
- [15-May-18]: Since processor is quite slow [unacceptable many times], allow disabling the mandatory inbuilt encryption in order to speed up the device, even if a little bit.
- [12-May-18]: When in pocket, accidental touches happen all the time. Screen turns on without you being aware, and icons and buttons get pressed. Unacceptable, of course.
- Even when Priv is in your hands, screen turns on by itself many times, even though you didn't intend to. Especially with the double-tap-to-wake setting on.
- [30-Apr-18]: Shortcut for screenshot sort of clashes with developer shortcut for collecting a sort of bug report [only duration varies]. Quite troubling. During data collection, Priv freezes badly, especially with that slow CPU. You don't even realize what's happening.
- [30-Apr-18]: With such a slow CPU [that too for a phone priced at flagship levels], BlackBerry shouldn't have given [or turned on by default] heavy features such as BlackBerry Hub. These make the already-slow Priv even slower. This is just one heavy feature and there are several more, and disabling/uninstalling these improves the experience.
- General smartphone improvement thoughts for the next Priv or more generally for any phone.
- [4-May-18]: Speakers should be on both sides, so that if one side is by chance pressed towards the bed, for example, you still hear the ringer properly from the other speaker.
- [30-Apr-18]: Similarly, the multicolor LED notification light too should be on both front and back sides, so that if your phone has been placed with its display facing towards the table surface on your work table, you still get to see the notification light alerts.
