Issue with flickering on BlackBerry Passport screen temporarily halts BlackBerry 10.3.1 update

The BlackBerry 10.3.1 update is in the process of being disseminated right now. But an issue with the BlackBerry Passport had temporarily halted the update earlier today. Apparently, some of those sporting the company's flagship model are experiencing an issue with flickering screens. BlackBerry product manager Michael Clewley says that a fix for the issue is being tested and that the rollout of BlackBerry 10.3.1 has resumed.

Clewley did mention in a tweet that BlackBerry is slowing down the speed of the update, and asked for patience from BlackBerry 10 users. Besides the Passport, other phones being updated include the BlackBerry Z30, BlackBerry Z10, BlackBerry Z3, BlackBerry Q10, BlackBerry Q5, Porsche Design P'9982 and the Porsche Design P'9983. The BlackBerry Classic comes with the new OS build pre-installed.

Besides the flickering screen on the BlackBerry Passport, Clewley also mentioned something about the low volume of ringtones on the BlackBerry Q10. He suggested that those with the device select override profile volume and then increase the volume. Hopefully your BlackBerry 10 handset updated to BlackBerry 10.3.1 without issue.
