Pull battery out then stick it back in.

[swoon]

i did the battery pull

8 hours of battery life durinng the night and the full charge takes just 2 hours...

battery crashed?

[idlebg]

So i am with the VODAFONE 9500
and with .122..
battery usage is 3-4% per hour.

.122 works great.

There must be something that is draining your battery
have you recently installed any new applications?

just vf package (flickr, myspace, facebook, youtube, weather bug, meterberry, opera, maratick, flipside )

hello again !!

finally i sent my BB Storm to support, i have recieved a new BB with a new Battery with 0.78 VF OS, i have upgraded to 0.141 VF OS and it is AWESOME!! 0.4% ratio with a normal activity *just phone sms and a few stuff of data services)

3 days and still 50%

edit : ignore post, typed something wihout reading ok move along nothing to see here

[obus10]

are ya sure it can run for 3 days and only go down to 50%???
mine is only a couple weeks old, and I upgraded to .141 last week, and it's battery life is not horrible, but it can't last for more than a full day...
I only use it for blackberry messenger, a little or no browsing, a little sms, and phone calls, and it's always on vibrate...

[CGSCOT]

I'm still using .113 & have to charge my Storm every night but pretty heavy user, use E-mail, BBM, SMS, Calls, Browser a lot during the day also running socialscope (twitter & facebook), viigo, facecall, Berryweather, worldmate live & berry popup in the background....so i expect to charge every nigh, no problem.

[swoon]

yes, im sure, just 3g, NO chat NO browsing, like a normal phone (just a little) :S

3 days and 50%, when the battery is empty i will check it again with just 3g and mp3 player :P

[obus10]

oh, right, I guess the messenger and browsing do drain battery then... and 3g in a good signal area won't be a problem at all I think...
That make sense...

Hey guys i am have a Blackberry 9500 storm and vodafone SIM in it.I don't know why the battery gets dry twice a day.
i tried everything possible to tackle this problem but nothing worked.
I also tried a security wipeout and memory cleaning but still no change.

Now i downgraded my phone OS to 4.7 but still the same problem is there.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

[swoon]

I recommend you to send it to technical support, this worked for me, I did recieve a new BB from them.

If you don't have warranty, get a new battery to check that it's not a problem from the device. If you still have drain problems with your battery, buy a new mobile.

I had a similar “issue” and it wasn’t until I turned off the Blue Tooth that I would start to get decent battery life.

If your Blue Tooth is on, de-activate it. Turn it on only when needed…

Cheers!!
