Don't get me wrong, phone is amazing and way better than my old 9700, but damn I have to charge this thing once or twice a day. I am doing the exact same stuff with my 9700 and this is killing me. I have set the brightness to the lowest level and stuff and its still crappy battery life...

[infinus]

Yes, 99XX has very poor battery life due to RIM's new JM-1 battery which is thin and less powered...
Try searching this forum for extended battery, lot of people been already using it..
It might suite your needs.

[emirozmen]

JM-1 batteries have less power in them. In addition 99xx has faster processor, bigger and better screen. Thats never a good combo for battery life.
You can carry a spare battery with you, they are unbelievably thin!
Or you can buy an extended battery.
Apart from these I find wifi to be saving amazing battery life.

So a day and a half is bad battery life?

[juliankueh]

a day and a half is great.

[emirozmen]

IMO its not the best out there, but its pretty decent.

Well it's a heck of a lot better than iphone's which are very power hungry!

[lengend]

The logs I posted there were light to moderate usage at some times. I took it easy yesterday.

Yes coming from the torch 9800 which use to get me thru the day without ever having to charge it till end of the night.. When I got the bold I can say it would last me 10-12 hours max or sometimes less depending how I use the phone.. But then lucky me when I bought the phone off my friend it came with 2 battery which is good just kinda hate carrying a spare battery around with me "just incase"

Idk about that buddy

If you say so, buddy. I've had my phone working since 7:30am, and I just go back from using my GPS for 20mins straight in downtown traffic driving to a client, and i'm still sitting at 45%. Before I used the GPS I was at 70%. After the gps, 60%. Then I went deep into a building where service was in and out, so I assume that dusted a good chunk off. But I'm still sitting at 45% battery after continual usage all day long and a 20minute GPS session.

Compared to my iphone4 and my galaxy nexus, this battery life is great. I noticed my battery life improved after draining my battery down to red bar and charging it back up to 100%. Someone recommended it on another battery life thread.

[85_305]

I was probably the one who suggested nearly killing the battery, although other guys on here will claim the li-ion batts like to stay between 20 & 80 percent charge and they DON'T like being totally drained.

I've always nearly-drained my li-ion powered bberries then charge them fully and have always had great batt life tho, which is why I recommend doing that.

Btw I'm sitting in night class now waiting for it to begin, and I'm still sitting at 40% battery remaining. I'll be on internet and txtn the rest of the night til I leave at nine, and will report in my results.

i had battery problems similar to yours. tried a few different software builds... but when i downgraded to 7.0.0.503.... WOW!!!!!! Give it a try. no bs... more than doubled my battery life.

[albee 1]

I did a 12 hour road trip using bb maps, internet, email and phone calls from another state and returned home with 25% leftover. If that's bad I want more!

While I cant comment on whether this may be OS related - batteries these days arent susceptible to developing "memories" as they once used to.

How do I access that log on my phone ?

[85_305]

Right now its going on 8pm and I'm sitting at 35% battery life left guys.

MeterBerry. Check it out in App World.

MeterBerry. Check it out in App World.

7.1 has this already built in, no reason for a third party app.

[HankHowdy]

Today I am running 3.4% discharge rate per hour. It keeps getting better.

[Thud Hardsmack]

7.1 does not have MeterBerry built in. It has a battery monitoring function. The question was directed at the OP in regards to what was being shown in the screenshots, which is MeterBerry.

[lengend]

How do I access that log on my phone ?

Its MeterBerry. I bought it from here at Crackberry.com

Also I had MeterBerry since my 9700.

[drecar]

finally almost after 3 weeks of use i am getting good battery life. went the whole day without needing a recharge

[85_305]

Well I finally shut the phone down at 11:50pm last night, and still had 25% battery left.

Eat that, iPhone.

No charges during the day yesterday.
