First of all I would like to congratulate you on your great job you are doing!!!!
Please let me give you an idea about the problems I am having with my Bold 9000 the last three weeks....
I recently swiched to a bold 9000 smartphone. I am very pleased with my selection except from the battery life. I have installed a number of OS5 but no luck with any of them.
I wiped the device and reset it to factory settings using BBSAK.
I uploaded OS v5.0.0.1079 bundle 1748 platform 5.2.0.95.
I have spent the last 3 weeks reading posts and solutions but none of them seem to work on my device. The maximum I have gotten out of the phone is 5 hours of use (or non-use I should say since the phone is on 2G and used for a couple of quick phone calls and 2 or 3 emails). If I put it on 3G battery lasts for 3 hours wihtout doing anything. If I use like I used all my other balackberries then in 2 hours the battery is dead. I have also noticed that when the battery drops to 50% then the discharge is much much faster (maybe half an hour).
I have checked my battery and it is working fine. It also charges fine both with AC outlet charger and USB (it is new after all).
I have set backlight brightness to 30 backlight timeout to 10 seconds no applications running in the background but I can not manage any better than 5 hours which makes the phone useless for my 16 hours day(I don't mind charging it every night but I need it to get me through the day).
I have checked the eventlog file but I do not see anything suspicious based on my understanding apart from the "a net.rim.memclean - FrmF" that is running every 2 or 3 minutes for about ten times each. Is this a probable cause for the battery drain?
Anyway yesterday I decided to install your 7.2 version of OS5... Everything seem fine until I switched the language from English to Greek. The phone froze with an application error 523. So I decided to install your latest version 7.3. I did not switch the languages this time and so far it's running fine. Great memory I am watching the battery drain but I think I still have the same problem.
A couple more things regarding 7.3! I can not change the calendar from the day view to month view fron the Options and save it. It wouldnt save it. Also it wouldnt save Delivery Report ON for SMS.
Do you have any other idea regarding by battery drain problems? Any suggestions? I need desperately to make this phone productive! Maybe to downgrade to an older version of yours that does not drain the battery so fast? Keep in mind that I do not run any other applications on the device.
I am a blackberry user for many years and i never faced such problems.
I can use all the help you can provide.
Thank you very much....02-26-12 07:29 AM
