You will observe that the Line app and the Android Player use a similar amount of battery. You can use the device monitor to check the usage. I leave the app running in the background and the battery drain is minimal. Closing the app and restarting it once the phone is running sees no delay from the Line app itself. Restart - I was referring to restarting the phone either by normal restart or via a hard reset. Sorry if my questions are simple, I'm new to the whole BB10 thing.Īlso, once you loaded android-LINE, will it appear along the other apps or is any special action or trick needed to use it? I know you mentioned battery drain but I'm not sure if you ment app-running-in-background battery drain or -n-app-active-use

If so, does it not drain much battery in such case either? Did you mean the restart the phone or close+restart the app?Īlso I assume it is best to run this app in the background all the time. So in you last paragraph you said restart or reset. Just like in your case my wife 100% needs LINE because most of her friends and family is using it.

Posted via CB10Thank you so much for this info !!! That prevents Line from starting up immediately but this is a minor inconvenience to have this app working well. One thing to note is that after a restart or reset, the android runtime will take as few minutes to get going. This APK is not heavy on battery and it opens reasonably fast. The Line settings override the BB10 settings for the tone. The only limitation running Line APK on BB10 is that you cannot select an external notification tone from a media folder. BB10 will also recognise Line as an app to be shared with. Sending / receiving photos to other Line users on other platforms works flawlessly, as does sharing media links from browsers. Speed is good and overall the app is on par (speed wise) with mid range Android devices and much faster than windows phone versions of the app.

This version is recent (Sep17) and works well with full functionality. My first BB10 device and my most important use for this phone is a messaging device Line is my most used app.Īndroid APKs of Line work well on the Classic and I use version 7.2.2 APK that I found on APKMirror. Fellow Line user here on a newly purchased Classic.
