It isn't surprising, and I'm certainly not complaing. Just use your device more in different ways and it won't last as long . My point is a 24 hour battery life is not bad on bbry.

Couple that with hundreds of bbm messages and 15 or so active chats - add in browsing, lookups, email, etc.

Posted to CB via my Passport | FileArchiveHaven06-20-15 11:53 PMLike 0 - I'm starting to get the same problem. Today my battery dropped 30% without any usage at all!!! Even on battery saving mode and bedside mode together, my passport is still using too much power!

- Got that problem.
Firstly check, if your PIMS services are under 2% of usage in the end of the day. If not - here's your culprit.
If that's the case:
If you use gmail for anything (email, calendar, contacts or tasks), try this:
Go to settings -> accounts
Select gmail account.
Check EACH parts of the account. In my case, there was an error message, stating the calendar is not connected to the network, although everything had to be nice.
So I deleted the calendar from gmail account (I am in transition to outlook.com anyway)
And voila - battery holds 2 days now

Or in the very least, the willingness to do a teardown of my Passport just to run a multimeter across a bluetooth radio that would be better served by Bbry doing it themselves.
Posted to CB via my Passport | FileArchiveHaven06-21-15 11:43 PMLike 0 - Assuming it would be worth investigating; I'd need access to their source code for the OS, a hardware teardown, and access to the source code for my BT apps to answer that question .

The GPS receiver is also much lower power than the WI-FI and cellular transceivers.
I don't use either, so my battery is not drained by them.
It used to be drained by kindle and the Amazon store until I removed the kindle app and disallowed Amazon store access to my files, location, and device pin.
Do you really think that the software designer who wrote the code for Bluetooth control was so much worse than those who wrote the code for wi-fi and cellular transceiver control?
You do not need to actually measure the Bluetooth transceiver to test this.
You can run some data transfer experiments for each one of these transceivers with the others turned off and monitor battery usage...06-21-15 11:57 PMLike 0 -

Regarding Bluetooth, this is with only one device attached via Bluetooth for about two hours.
For the last hour of life I'll attach my pebble as well.
Edit: Some info on BT use for the last few

Doubt that'll help anyone but just in case you needed the info

06-23-15 02:56 PMLike 0 - I'd echo what a few others have said: give it a while to get used to you and itself. I had a similar experience during the first few days with my Passport: projected battery life seemed to fall some way short of what I had expected. However, after, what? a couple of weeks or so? it was greatly improved. Three months in I only feel the need to charge it two or three times a week. Two factors at work: when you first power it up, it has no idea how much power it's going to require from one minute to the next so any projection of battery life is a guess; and when do you most often check your battery life? After a heavy use session, so it assumes you're going to carry on for the duration as you have done for the last hour or so. Maybe.06-26-15 09:09 AMLike 0

Posted via CB1006-26-15 01:37 PMLike 0 - It took me a few months to get used to using my Passport and understanding it's performance.
* Turn stuff off when you don't need them. LTE, WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, Locations all require extra power. Blend over WiFi is an absolute battery hog. Use a USB 2.0 port if you can.
* Sign out of any unnecessary Android apps. As others have said, you'll get stellar battery life when you run PURE NATIVE. If you have to use Android apps or have all your services on then you're going to have to live with the drain

- I should add that I sorted through my apps and looked for ones active when not open and turned off nearly all of them. Some of them I need -- like maps, tiny smartwatch apps. (I'm too lazy to list them but they number about 5.)
My battery still runs down about 1% per minute. My battery life is really about 1 hour if it sees any sort of use. I am starting to think that our batteries (some of them) might not last very long. Remember the ipod battery issue years ago? Apple took heat because the batteries died well before the life of the unit expired or it became obsolete.

Perhaps it's just my unit or my computer's port but I have found USB 2.0 is much more stable for data while USB 3.0 is great for charging my phone faster. Just my experience with a Passport under extremely heavy use.

OS 10.3.1
I bought my phone 2 days ago from Rogers canada and I'm having issues with the battery because it doesn't last the full day

The battery estimate software is no different than any other OS battery estimate software.
Not a single one can give you a true reading of your future outcome because they are based on past use and battery remaining.
