Issues with battery

**8220flippin** · 03-13-2010, 06:33 PM

Hello Crackberry family:
I was wondering if there's an app out there that can tell you what program is sucking up the most battery juice? My 8520 battery seems to be draining a lot faster than usual. I've done the obvious such as closing running apps, and changing the settings for the back lighting.

Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

My curve 2 burned through 3 in one day and I had apps closed. Only things I noticed were BBM that ate battery and google talk.

One theme did it too, pulled it.

Good luck.

I noticed the theme issue as well that's why I don't use any themes but the default anymore. It might be boring but the battery lasts from 6am to 11pm with medium to heavy use

I haven't had a problem with the battery draining fast at all, i feel this phone has way better battery life than my old pearl.

Works easier if you tell us what you have running.

Low signal and IM apps are battery hoggers. BBM itself isn't, but BBM groups will kill your battery really fast.

Apps that pool for info (like twitter clients and Viigo - which IS working on OS 5.0 now) will also drain it.

And always turn off bluetooth/wifi if you're not using them.
