Guys I don't have any of the issue you are talking about. I have updated my OS to latest one with latest bug fixes provided. While using GPS it gets warm not hot. I don't use any type of case for my priv. Infact now the phone is faster than earlier due to optimised marshmallow. If it gets nougat it will beat keyone in performance for sure.

AnonD-689708, 07 Aug 2017Just to confirm. Priv dont have heating issues anymore? Battery life is better with new update... moreI still can get very worm but not easy, you can use it normally without having heating problems. The battery is more than fine but not amazing. Otherwise, the phone is not the fastest but really cool to have it. I just enjoy mine very much!

I have 2 handsets of BB PRIV and both have problems. The first one has problem with the battery and the second one has problem with the power switch!!
Sounds crazy, but yes, I am facing this problem and the response from BB workshop is too slow. It might take 15 days to fix the problem. Really bad. Not worth spending on BB phones now.

This phone is so underrated.. Garnered several negative review but, hey have they revisited this device and make a review again?

Im using priv and it satisfied more than using those well-known flagship devices from a far more popular OEMs. I dont know what makes them cry. My only gripe About this device is the front facing 2mp camera. Luckily im not a selfie fan anymore so its not a big deal.

Its not bad as you think im running 6.0.1 im satisfied with the priv its not running hot like before and performance has improved a bit... but if you want to improved its battery here are some apps which i use that helps a lot greenify, pixel filter, and hibernation manager... it saves tons of battery life.... after the update i notice it charger bit faster and not that hot as before.... but if you want to charger more faster just put phone in airplane mode... and lastly put the animation into .5x in the developer options... hope this helps....to all priv users like me trust me... ill keep this phone for a while every time i use it in public people turn their heads especially when i use the physical keyboards....
