I Powered it on for the first time the battery life was about 45%. As I'm new to BB10 i played around with it for 20 minutes connected WiFi and I need Micro Sim so it had no Sim. So I Got the noticed to update the software to 10.2.1 an upgraded it put the phone once had mid way just to be safe and continued to install the update and took it off charge.
Now I've only added an email account, sign up for BBM,BBAW downloaded couple of apps (Game,pedometer,Snap Sound cloud). Only WiFis on and the hardly anything running CPU/battery wise 14-15% current with one app being used.
The battery drain has been quite fast. I have the device on for about 4-5 Hours last night Playing around with it and I went to bed with 17% battery(Down from about 50%). If drain to 10% I imagined within 3-4 hours in Bedside mode because I saw the yellow light flashing mid sleep. Then I woke again earlier hours saw it was dead.
I fully charged it to 100% this morning for first time and that took 1 hour 30 mins kept same things on and the battery after about 20minutes of "Use" with the screen on it's now down to 78% from 100% within 3 hours 30 minutes. I tried restarting, hard reset, disabling all but 1 app and even during a power down restart the battery drain 3-4% after I did that what was a surprise.
Also the phone has a very, very faint crackling at times ONLY when the phone is on lock or screen is off it isn't existent all times or when phone screen is being on/used.(Mobile/WiFi have been test off and it still occurs)
Any suggestions
Thanks?
