I unplugged the phone at 7am. It is now 10:45am and I am at %80 battery.
What gives?? Brightness at 0. I have sent 5 emails at MOST. No bbm, no web pages, nothing running in the background. Pulled battery etc....
Every time you do a battery pull, the battery life will rapidly decrease unless you put the device on the charger after doing the battery pull and leave it on the charger until it reboots.
Your poor battery life is either:
1) Related to apps you have installed
2) Related to a bad OS install
3) Related to a bad battery/hardware issue
4) The result of poor signal/reception
When unused, my 9800 drops about 1% every 1-2 hours.

To do OP, do you have a 9800 or 9630? Your profile says 9630. Battery pulls on the 9630 will drain the battery more than on the 9800, and the reboot time is longer.
Latest OS .337
GPS turned off.
I had no weather programs installed.
No twitter updates.
I did a wipe before NEW OS install.
Always on 3G because that is all that is available in Toronto for TELUS.
It just recently started too, before it wasn't bad at all.
I am not a doob with blackberries. So this is stupming me.
I took off google sync to see if that did something.
Reception is great!
yah for some reason today my discharge rate is like 8.5% an hr!!!!
i downloaded:
paper toss
kik messenger
so i do not know if those have anything to do with it.. I think Rogers is having issues as my reception keeps dropping to SOS and data is wonky (i.e bbm won't send, see the clock) we'll see what happens tomorrow...
I usually had great battery power until today. The only thing I did differently was upgrade my facebook app. Then the battery dropped like a brick in a lake.
So even updating apps that are already loaded can cause problems. :P

My battery was being sucked dry until I switched to 2G. Now I only run 3G if I need to surf the web, but everything else functions great on 2G. I also realized I had Pandora running in the background (music was paused, but the app was still running), shutting Pandora down helped as well.
I notice on my phone that the first 20% get eaten up pretty quickly but throughout the day I can be easily above 40-50% by the time I go to bed. I've never been able to explain it but it works for me... figure that. I'd say go a full day and see what you end up with at the end... THEN make a judgment.

That is exactly what I was gonna say. lol. The first 20 - 30% goes down super fast for me. Like for the first 2 or 3 hours I was down to 80% from a full charge without doing anything heavy on the phone. And now 10 hours later my battery is at 50% so I'm not sure why the first 20% of battery life drops down like a brick and then seems to level out after a while.
