BBM5.0 8hrs battery life?? Suggestions

[sterling_bandit]

I have 2 storms, downloaded bbm5.0 via OTA, one of my phones seems to be constantly polling for data since OTA and I believe this could be what is causing the terrible battery life. Why would the phone be polling so often?
I have pulled multiple times, thinking this would stop this and resent service books, both without effect. The other phone has only used 20% battery in 12hrs. Both devices are running .151.

OTA was from 2 different sites via browser
blackeberrynews: so far no negative effect on battery
tiny.cc: battery gone in 8hrs

What can I do to resolve this? OTA for blackberrynews failed on the other phone missing cod file.

If you OTA'd which link did you use and what's battery life like?

go back to the original BBM....i think its something else going on though since there is that much difference

A good suggestion but I really like the look of this new msgr and the features introduced, might consider reverting, after I have tried the other OTA's out there
