Why is "Blackberry Services" using so much power?
- Verizon Priv here. Since 2 updates ago (so last month or so), my phone drains the battery really fast. It is actually warm to touch many times through the day. When I go to the battery tracking app, it report that "Blackerry Services" is what sucks majority of the power. Then next biggest power consumer, including screen, is 1/10th or less of the Blackberry Services power. Sometimes by the time the battery is 10% Blackberry Services consumed 50% of the power. Reboot sometimes helps for a little while. Anyone else seeing this? Any solution. I tried clearing BlackBerry Services cache but it doesn't seem to have any impact.05-27-16 02:48 AMLike 0

- Just buy a nexus or another brand with stockrom. With BlackBerry you have also a stockrom with google play and services consuming battery, but above blackberry services and other blackberry apps it consumes more.
Like to see blackberry own linux os with android support, o dear.... we allready have bb10
Posted via CB1005-27-16 05:25 AMLike 0 - I had this happen to me recently too. My solution was to delete blackberry services and reinstall. Did the trick. The downside was that i had to install my hub email accounts again. In hindsight i would have force stopped blackberry services.

- What version of Hub and BlackBerry Services are you running for folks seeing this issue? Could you also post a screen cap of the 'battery monitor' screens showing the usage quickly if you don't mind? A few other details which would be helpful...
- What accounts do you have all setup in Hub - email accounts and social please
- Number of days email synced and sync interval

Try limiting your sync timeframe to 1 month and see (if that works for you)?05-27-16 11:23 AMLike 0 - Sync forever. If your account goes back many years with many folders and emails, it could explain why BB Services is working overtime. It's working overtime to sync everything in your accounts. I have mine set for 30 days. I'll use the desktop to access anything further in the past.

Im also looking for a solution to this issue

Blackberry Services 1.2.1.37032
I hope BB fixes it soon. For now I'm stuck having to carry a charging cable with it now as it doesn't last a typical day. Blackberry used to be the king of battery life :-(05-28-16 03:41 PMLike 0 - BlackBerry Hub 1.2.1.10221
Blackberry Services 1.2.1.37032
Syncing Hub with 2 MS Exchange mailboxes - 30 days sync. Using Blackberry Messenger occasionally. No other social, facebook or other accounts with Hub (waiting on Marshmallow before installing Linked-in so I can limit what it can access). Gmail is syncing but not with Hub (plus there are 5 emails there since I signed up, all from google).

Out of curiosity, how many MS exchange mailboxes to you sync with? I realize I'm in the minority syncing with 2 exchange servers, maybe something BB missed in testing?05-28-16 03:54 PMLike 0 - I don't know what to tell you. This was captured just last night (early this morning actually) and it behaves this way since 2 system updates ago. I reported the service, with logs, to BB or google (can't tell, I hit the report button under the battery history) a couple of times. I rebooted multiple times, sometimes a reboot seems to slow down the BB services battery drain a little but not for long.

- Yea I know, standard IT suggested solution but without any guarantees - it might just work, fingers crossed. My question is how do I know that it will do anything other than waste a few of hours of my time (which I don't have to spend on this right now)? And even if it fixes things, what should I do different to make sure it doesn't happen again in 2 months? I've been a blackberry user and a fan for a very long time because the product was solid and that is what I want from my phone. I know there are tinkerers out there that like the bleeding edge and enjoy setting up their phones all the time, I'm not one of them.05-28-16 04:33 PMLike 0
- Are you on lollipop or marshmallow? We released version 1.2.2 for marshmallow devices this week and I suspect that the fix you need is in that build.05-28-16 05:04 PMLike 0
- On my mm priv I see BlackBerry services at 1% but since mm OTA I find overheating on or off charger with frequent nag warning & attenuate slowdown... the usual array of cleaners is of no help despite fancy graphics & folderol... how come? The only double digit percentage is for display...

Since it will be my fist non-blackberry phone in over a decade ; Android or IOS - any opinions from previous blackberry owners? One big requirement for me is ability to sync with 2 exchange servers. I'd consider Windows but it's missing one of the few apps I need on a phone - Tesla Model S App.FF22 likes this.06-05-16 03:41 AMLike 1
