Hey, i gave my sister my old curve its about 1 1/2 yrs old. the day i gave it to her the phone worked just fine but after she flew back home the battery would only last her a few minutes. i told her to try a new battery but it still has not changed anything. i even got her to upgrade to 5.0 just to see if it would make any difference but it doesnt.
she barely uses any apps, and mostly uses the phone for emailing.
on standby it will every 10minutes or so the battery life will go down by 10%, and after a few texts or a minute or two on a call the phone will just die. she can pretty much just use it when its connected to a power source.
seems like a phone issue but there is no warranty on it
Might be battery, also might be the OS not reading the battery correctly and killing the device power... Even if the battery is charged..... Seen this on a few beta OS's...
Check the battery contacts inside the BB. Look for any junk on the gold terminals, buff them gently with a pencil eraser (old school pink kind) till shiny, or look for a bent contact pin. Buff/clean the contact patches on the battery too.
