    I lost 40% battery in just 3 hours. All I did was using few Android apps. Never happened like that even though I was using native apps for 4-5 hours. Anyone else facing such problem? I have Q5.

    Hi and welcome. Yes this is true because Android apps are always running in the background so they grind your battery to a halt. Get an app like ghost commander to make sure you are killing the android apps when done with them

    Yes.. I noticed this also.

    That said, so far I have only loaded 2-3 of them and for me these are not core apps. Some I wanted seem to crash all the time so I deleted.

    + they are running in Android Virtual Machine, so all system and kernel call are translated to BB native calls.
