I am about 5 months new to Blackberry. Have the curve from Sprint. Of late, the battery seems to be dying really quickly. Last couple of days it has gone dead within about 12 hours and needed a recharge. Yesterday, it was dying by the time I got home, i recharged it, and this morning, it was DEAD. On the charger now. I am not a heavy user. If I made 5 calls yesterday after charging, I would be surprised. No surfing, very little email.
Time for a new battery? Go for the Seidio? Take it back to Sprint and can they check the battery? Thanks for the assistance.
to my software at all. Nada. Have not changed anything I can think of. I have a ton of stuff on there though, Pocket Express, vib n ring ... fast entry, bb shortcuts, right off the top of my head that's what comes to mind.
When you are done using an application on your device, hit Menu(button to left of trackball), scroll down and select close...
I'll make a note of that for the future. Still a lot of things I am "working around" trying to get all the use I can. My first posts to the forum are for this d**n battery deal.
I have been having the EXACT same problem with my BB, all of the sudden battery life is horrible. When fully charged, I will talk on the phone maybe 5 or 10 minutes and the battery drops to 50%.... Until now I have had great battery life, and only recent apps that I have added is Pandora, otherwise everything has been the same. I properly close ALL apps and leave NOTHING running in the background.
I thought maybe I would try a new battery, but it just seems odd that this would happen all at once, literally, last week I was getting a full 12 hours of use before I would have to recharge, and now this week I have to plug it a couple of times throughout the day, almost every time I use the phone.... any suggestions? I just removed Facebook to see if it made a difference, even though I have been using the app for a few months with no trouble at all...
No prob for the PM. And have you had pocket ex all along ? I had batt and mem issues with that puppy.

a month after I got it maybe? I may have changed the options on it recently now that you mention it, I'll have to check. Used it a week or so ago for maybe the second time, and realized the *news* was a couple months old from the *other * time I had used it and updated, maybe I set it to update regularly or daily or SOMETHING. Once it is charged I'll check.
Ya know, every once in a while for seemingly no reason I get a nasty battery drain in a day, my friend with the same 8330 has the same trouble. He and I have different themes and apps loaded, but I chalk up to something in the stars and moon that day
If it persists, after a day then I would be seriously concerned!

I will be happy to write it off to the stars or lack thereof if it resolves. So far it's been a 2 day deal. We'll see .....
