Get a proper phone?
 
thats just rude :P

i like blackberry, been using them for a very long time
 
Some of the weather apps kill the battery, is twitter running and refreshing automatically, that also kills the battery. Put everything onto refresh manually.

I think you need 'advice'.

Btw, aren't you supposed to fully charge, then run down the battery a few times before it reaches it's optimal operating level ?
I suppose by now you have done so at least 6 times, reading your post again.

When I got my torch the batt life was also quite short, maybe a day max if i didn't touch it at all.
After a while the batt life got longer. I now use my phone a LOT during the day, I use Twitter and the GPS and email and the camera a LOT. I browse the web a lot too.
My battery lasts just over a day now with heavy usage.

Maybe give it a bit of time? Otherwise if it's really bad, try taking it back or asking for a replacement battery.
 
i found a "fix" turn off the 3g, and not battery lasts for almost 3 days

I agree with Speedster. Blackberry sucks ass when it comes to battery life.

Please man... all smart phones have the exact same problem.

I know plenty of people with iPhones and Droids who have the exact same issue.

If you load any phone full of apps its going to chow the battery.


To the OP: I was reading on the Crackberry forums that people who have this issue have it because of the way they transferred data from their old phone.
When you do the transfer you must just transfer the contacts...not the settings. When you transfer the settings you get all the old issues from your previous phone.

You need to do a wipe on the phone and just transfer back your old contacts.
 
My torch also last over a day, and thats with heavy usage too. Maybe battery is stuffed or you have something running in the background. Hold down the blackberry key and close all open apps, except for BBM, Browser, massages and phone. Then see what difference its makes.
