I got my Blackberry Tour two days ago...I charged it at 2:00 today and it is nor 10:00 and have to recharge it. I only have as am APP and TFLN. I always close out of everything. It is also getting super hot. Sprint told me this is not normal and that I should return it tomorrow. Has anyone heard of this? It keeps freezing also.
It's either the device or the battery, I would say the latter. I have not had this happen to me but I have seen it enough. I am sure that they will be able to replace either one. Because there is really nothing else that can be done.
does TFLN keep an active connection and auto-update? there's your culprit......
no tfln doesn't auto update it closes and you have to open it to read new stuff..
I had the same problem when I first got my tour too. The thing that fixed my battery life was changing my network to 1XEV instead of global. I don't know if that's your problem or not but if it is, changing it made a huuuuge difference. Also turning off bluetooth while you're not using it helps too. :)

My phone used to get hot when I would talk on it, then for another unrelated issue I had it replace....Voila...No heat, and the battery lasts forever.
My problem was connection strength. The worse the signal the harder the berry works to find/keep it. Certain areas drain my battery like no tomorrow, some it last and lasts.
What is considered too hot? Mine gets warm. Is this normal???
yeah its normal for it to get warm under a good amount of usage.
