Well i have installed my OS 6 on my BB Bold 9700
everything works fine except battery

actually my problem is:
1.Batter drops rapidly in 15 minutes to 1%
2.Battery symbols converts in RED bar,
3.This 1% battery works whole day i.e. Device does NOT turn off.
4.Even charging does not changes battery percentage [still it remains on 1%]
5.Finally i have issue of 1% battery life with working all 12 hours
i want to stop that blinking red LED alert as well as want to know how much exactly battery life is

i am facing this problem since first leak .380
then .448 and then on .461 too.

please note that:
my brother also got same BB Bold 9700 and yesterday ;
i installed os 6.0.0.461 on his bb but he did not get any problem with battery

NO ANY TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH BATTERY

So please HELP ME!

The only battery issue I'm having is that I find myself using my 9700 more now then before. RIM is moving in the right direction with OS6.

I just hope they fix the memory leak soon.

I also experience this issue on my Bold 9700 6.0.0.344. To get rid of the light and restore the correct battery reporting, just plug your phone into a charger (maybe USB too, I haven't tried that yet) and it will bounce back to the correct level. For me it usually happens around 45%. My battery will drop to 5% remaining until I plug it in for a couple of seconds.

Saturday, I installed the OS 6.0 Bundle 2342 on my 9700. Prior to that, my battery would run for an entire day without issue. I'm not a heavy phone user, so at the end of the day my battery MIGHT be at 75% (45% on heavy use days.)

Since installing the new OS, my battery drops to 75% within a few hours of removing it from the charger in the morning. It drops to 45% by lunch.

What is going on that is either

1. showing a false battery charge remaining OR
2. using so much of my battery's power with the new OS?

which OS 6 or Hybrid is the best for battery life on 9700? thanks
