since downloading BBM 5.0.. hows your battey life now been for u?

[mjbesen310]

how you doing everyone? gotta question for ya...

for the people that downloaded the BBM 5.0 does anyone notice it eats your battery up a lot more then bbm 4.7? on average since installing BBM 5.0 I loose 3 hours more per day VS 4.7 BBM on normal everyday use with nothing running in the backround besides the normal apps that don't close.

anyone else like this with bbm 5.0?

I honestly haven't noticed a difference at all. Then again, I don't actively use BBM on a daily basis, which could be why. I also shut it down completely before I exit out of it.

You can't shut down bbm. It always stays open. I don't really use the new bbm but I average 3 hours less per day with the new one. Ill downgrade back to bbm 4.7 and see what happens tomorrow

Doesn't look like its affected my battery so far, had it running all day

[tommynap01]

oh stop the new bbm doesnt take up anymore battery life. maybe its your other applications in the background thats doing it or maybe its not doin it at all and your just looking for something

It has not affected the battery life on my BB Tour.

i think ima just wait till official release so that all bugs, etc are worked out. there must be a reason why they havent officially released it yet, so ima play it safe.

You do know that just like the OS, there is no difference between some of the beta ones and the offical ones right. Don't think just because its official, its bug free and vice versa.

Oh no, if VZW doesn't throw the holy water on it, and wrap it in bacon before sending it out for download, its not good enough.

I can't see battery life being any different, both versions run all the time, so I can't see any sort of additional drain.

I just downloaded the new BBM 5.0 and I havnt seen any difference. No bugs or delays in the new BBM yet, and my battery still goes up to 6hrs use.

Man some people seriously just sit around looking for stuff to whine about with their phones. SMH

i have noticed no change in battery life, i was concerned about this too. Everything has been working and draining the same amount of battery as before i installed BBM 5.0.

Same here, no diff in the battery..

This is one app that RIM can definitely say was an improvement w/ the new version.

No batt drain here
