BlackBerry OS 10.2.1.3247 rolled out by BlackBerry yesterday

[Anonymous]

This seems to deal only with bug-fixes rather than new features and it looks like battery life and wi-fi connection drop off issues have been fixed in this release from what I can gather.

I've had the WiFi drop off problems intermittantly with the current OS version so hopefully this will fix it. Similarly, my battery life has become horrendous...

...lets see how long it takes for O2 to release it to us.

Thanks for keeping us updated @Chris_K 

I'll look out for it.

Only 17MB in size so fairly quick but still requires a reboot.

Let us know how it affects the battery

Aaawwww man! I checked yesterday just after 5pm and nothing new was showing!

I literally just pressed the "Check for Updates" button and then clicked on this thread to find it was out last night! Gutted!

Anyway, I'll get it installed when I get home and see if it makes a difference. the Wi-fi drop off issue hasn't been too problematic for the past week but I hope the battery life gets better again.

Thanks for the heads up Chris and aldaweb!

Eager to hear how it performs guys.

Well the battery drained within 7 hours yesterday (full to 5%)  but then I was using Maps to figure the best ways round severe congestion on and either side of the western stretch of the M25 and GPS always drains the battery quickly on any phone.

Well I've decided that my phone needs a new battery and so I ordered a new one last night so will wait and see how it performs.

In saying that, I have Snap2Chat (Snapchat client) open constantly (because it frequently won't open again if I close it) and its a resource hog which will explain why my battery has been draining so fast.

However, on the Wifi problem fix...I've been disconnected a couple of times at work today. Holding out in the hope that BB10.3 fixes the problem for good!

I swapped out to my spare battery over the weekend and had a full 24 hours out of the battery, but it wasn't heavy usage as it was quiet on the service side. @Anonymous have you ordered the battery charger bundle?

I've not experienced WiFi problems except where my home router needed rebooting which was affecting all wireless devices.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I went for the charger bundle! I decided it was better value for money!

I'm not sure about the Wifi issue now as I haven't had it at home...it might just be the public Wifi at my work that's being funny, I'm not sure! :S
