    I'm typically getting three days. When I tirst got the Priv it would last about a day, but then after I read some online advice here and there on the web I adjusted some of the settings and now it's typically three days, unless I browse the web non-stop in a low signal area :-)
    There is loads of advice out there you could read, a couple of things I tried that worked for me...
    1. Turn off adaptive screen brightness (a real battery killer).
    2. Set brightness about 50% and turn off vibrates where possible.
    3. Increase the interval at which apps poll for information.
    4. Depending where you are in the world, either set preferred network to "lte/hspa+/umts" or "4G and 3G".
    5. Properly disable the apps you don't actually use.
    6. Set the device to lock when you click the power button.
    7. Avoid restarting very often, avoid factory resets always.
    8. Buy a qualcomm quickcharge 2.0 charger :-)

    Both of my Priv easily lasted a day. The only times I've dipped below 50% battery is when doing massive updates or using as a hot spot for an extended period.

    I had two privs from tmobile. The tmobile apps kept sucking the battery dry. Tmobile agreed their apps are a problem on android and since there's no way to permanently remove them, they took the phones back w no charge. Ordered a priv unlocked direct from blackberry and with a bunch of tweaks I am now getting decent battery life. I had to turn off playstore updates bc they would blow up the phone; I use gsam monitor to see where the issues are; I greenify everything periodically so nothing runs in the background. I am getting 4-5 hrs screentime w a full day of use, if I'm not using heavy screentime the battery will last over 24 hrs. It's still not the 8hrs of screen time some are reporting but it's acceptable for what I need to do, finally. If u r not getting at least what I am getting, there's a bug in your phone. It's not supposed to die after a few hours, that's for sure. Gps sucks the battery.
