Battery life

Anonymous — Sat, 19 Oct 2013 12:34:12 GMT

Is it me? I have had the blackberry curve 9320 for about a year and the battery was running out really fast recently. So I replaced it and this one runs out in a day too! What am I doing wrong, or are other people having the same problems? And should I wait until it has run out each time to charge it or should I just charge the battery every day?

Hi.

I think typically to achieve a days use out of a smartphone is good these days.

Just think what they can achieve and also what they do in the background.

Remember to calibrate your new battery by charging it up fully and let it discharge fully until the phone turns off.
It takes a few charges for a new battery to achieve optimum output.

Just charge it when it needs charging. Battery life will depend on usage. Wifi, GPS, Mobile data etc all add to battery drain. Apps that update in the background, Twitter, Facebook, ,Weather etc all contribute.
As bob said above, a day is typical these days although Blackberry's do tend to be slightly better if you turn off all unwanted apps etc....
