Bold 9900 Battery Life Issues
Howdy, this is my first post here.
I'm pretty choked with BB.
I bought a 9900 from a retailer here in Canada few months ago on the Bell network.
Right away I had issues with battery life. I came from a 9300 into the 9900 and was getting 1.5-2 days of battery life on my 9300.
I've tried everything to get some life out of this thing. I have to charge it 3x a day, and I'm not what anyone would consider a "hardcore" user. I rarely send emails, don't use Twitter or Facebook, but I do like to check news websites every 2 hours or so.
In addition to the battery problem, I was getting weird error messages and had to reload the OS a week ago, Google maps looks like garbage, is horribly slow and the font is way too small to even use.
I'm Canadian and I like buying Canadian stuff from Canadian companies. No more. I'm done with BB.
Here's a picture I just took of an app I installed called "Battery Plus". I can LITERALLY DISCHARGE MY BATTERY SURFING THE WEB AS FAST AS THE FACTORY CHARGER CAN CHARGE THE DAMN THING.
I've got the screen dimmed down to 40%, WIFI and automatic time zone updating are both off.
Pathetic, just pathetic. Sorry my first post was such a downer; but for $600, I'm pissed.
The line on the left is the NATURAL DISCHARGE rate of the phone while in standby. The sharp, jagged lines are my occasionally using the phone and having to immediately recharge it.
