How to break BBM Queue screen on iOS and Android?

We have been told since years back that BBM is the most secure app, Is it ? Then let's break the app and let me share my experience with you . How to get rid of screen saying "YOU ARE IN QUEUE"

1. Open App
2. Enter email address with which you want to sign up
3. Tap GO

OOPPPPSSS "Message pop up that you are in QUEUE and we will send you email "?

Here's the step to break this BBM security

1. Kill the app
2. Open the App
3. Now in email address take an email address from your friend who is already using BBM on Android or iPhone
4. Tap on GO

Now , here's where BBM security breaks, If you are an existing user BBM should show Login screen not the page to login or Sign up.

So , we (testers) can break anything . Just think out of the box.

Funny bug in default Phone utility of iPhone

I was trying to find some way to transfer my Blackberry contacts to iPhone. I took help of Google and found a video which helped me to transfer my contacts. So here's what I did.

1. I transferred contacts to MS-Outlook 2010 using Blackberry desktop application
2. After 1st step, I synced my iTunes with MS-Outlook 2010

Once the contacts got transferred, I tapped on default Phone utility of iPhone. Then I thought to review the contact details. I found a weird issue with utility. I found that every contact have entry under Anniversary with text which never exists in my contact details.

Every contact has an entry of January 1, 4501, When I tried to edit the details I found there is no entry above year 2013.


iOS 7.0
iOS 6.1.3

Seems Apple just give feature but never tested it . Even Apple missed this bug fix in 7.0. Seems Apple is not aware about this bug.
