    Greetings from Portugal
    Last week I bought a Blackberry Z10. A big moving forward from my BB8520�
    Since Saturday I'm having some problems on battery and was wondering if they are normal or if I should exchange the phone for another Z10.
    Saturday I left the phone on charge all night and when turned on, still plugged, although the LED was green, the battery was only 50% loaded.
    Since then, when I put it to charge at night, turned off or kept in sleep mode, the battery in the morning is always below 100%.
    With very little use (some phone calls, emails and net) the battery withstands from 8:00 AM until 9:00 PM.
    Du you think this is normal? It will be a battery problem or the phone software?
    I would appreciate your opinion.
    Features:
    Model: 100-02 STL
    V software: 10.1.0.4181
    V OS: 10.1.0.4633
    Apps: CB10, Free Solitaire, Battery Saver, Fuel Locator (a Portuguese app)
    Wi-fi: off
    Brightness: minimum

    My opinion is that 4181 is not a real good OS. Maybe try the most current 10.1 leak. The fact that it said 50% but was green says there is an OS issue. I know everyone loves these battery apps but to me a running app is just killing the battery even faster. If I take it easy on mine few emails, bbm, and some Facebook mine will easily last from a full 24hrs before it dies. Now if I am surfing all day and playing games it will last about 12 hrs.

    What charger are you using? I use a 1amp charger and it is 100% in 1 1/2 hour charging.

    Charger or cable might be the case. Try using different charger.
    Also install battery guru apps so u would know exactly what happened to ur battery.

    I'm using the charger that came in the phone package.
    It takes 3 to 4 hours to get fully charged. But afterwards it starts to drain even if it's keept turne off.
    Removed the battery app, and the solitaire app.

    i also think the .4181 is not very battery friendly.

    Sort of solved, by operating only in 2G and 3G. Thanks!
