well well, all of the sudden my 9900 battery just got a whole lot better
- I wonder if it took this long for the 9900 battery to be optimized trough charging overnight, I now have 70% left after 8hours idle and 1.5 hours usage. And that's not including over 1 hour listening to bbm music.
I also noticed my 9900 seems to be prioritizing 3G signal compared to my 9700, where the 9700 would drop to 2G the 9900 keeps a strong 3G signal and when I turn it on it goes straight to 3G where the 9700 would first show gsm, gprs and then would switch to 3G.
Anybody else noticed an improvement after roughly a month?

I have seem some say their battery is terrible because it only has 30% after ten hours. Other think it is great having having 10% after 7 hours. Personally I think mine is fine since it always has some charge left when I go to sleep after about 15 hours.

Who knows how long the batteries were lining in a warehouse with a little charge in them? The 9900 was delayed a long time remember? That is not good for a batery and it would take a while for them to recover to full potential.

There is nothing that you can do that will GREATLY increase the battery life in your device except to decrease the load on it. You might find a small increase in capacity after a few charges but not enough to see the difference you are talking about.

- For the first 3 days, my battery life was not very good. was able to get 8-10 hrs with 10% of battery drain.
But for the last 2 days it has improved a lot. getting 14hrs with light/moderate use and 30% remaining by the time i go to sleep. my usage on average is 30min calls, few emails, twitter, BBM, and some browsing.
I also noticed like OP, it holds onto 3G much better than 9700. There was only couple of spots in my home, I could get 3G. But 9900 is definitely showing more 3G than GPRS/EDGE09-05-11 07:34 AMLike 0 - my phone will not have "normal" battery life until i no longer need to charge it at 5pm just to make sure i'll be able to contact the world if i leave the house at night...wifi does, however, improve battery life in wifi zone if you are, for instance, bbming all day long...09-05-11 11:18 AMLike 0
- Don't know if it's just coincidence, but battery life got better after I started charging the phone with the PlayBook charger09-05-11 09:36 PMLike 0
- There may be something to that. The little usb/travel charger may not have enough umph to do more than surface charge the battery. A surface charge will look good on a meter but will have no longevity in practice. Just a thought.09-05-11 10:01 PMLike 0
- After the first two days my battery has been stellar! Full days use with somewhere between 2 and 3 hours of actual use with a little juice to spare. Like some others I'm baffled by the huge swing on battery life from user to user. Glald yours is working better now.
