(I haven't read through the forums so I don't know if anyone has already written something similar)

I have a Curve 8520, about 2 weeks ago I forget to put it on charge before I went to bed, I found the phone off in the morning and plugged it in. Since then my battery had been draining severely especially whenever the "Data services" were on, sometimes up to 35% in less than 40 minutes whilst on standby.

So here is what I did, I fully charged the phone, then did a battery pull. Just don't put it on charge till it reboots, if you do put it on charge whilst rebooting you will still have the problem.

After it rebooted I left it on standby for 30 minutes and I've been on facebook and the crackberry forums for 1hr 40mins, and only used up 15% of battery life.

I hope this helps someone.

Hey there!

Sounds like some helpful advice there

Btw by standby, you mean turn off for 30mins or?

Phone still on, but idle so just the backlight off.
