- The most significant factor in my opinion is the consumers desire for a cool/thin phone. If the consumer was willing to carry around a 1 cm to 1.25 cm thick phone, no one would be crying about battery life. Weight is also another factor when a phone has a battery that large.05-27-13 11:57 PMLike 3
- Hi. I used to have battery problem too. First I thought that it is normal, that z10 does consume battery like that. My battery used to last for 3-4 hours.
Anyway, my z10 had a dead pixel, so I return to the distributor for repair, to check the battery also.
After almost a month, I got my z10 back, same device, same pin, no dead pixel, OS upgraded to 10.1 (was 10.0), and behold, battery last for 8 hours easily.
Screenshot:
I did not condition the battery at all. Since most article I read says conditioning lithium battery actually hurt the battery.

- You need to use the phone for at least a month. Then make your decision. Like all new things, the new toy gets used a lot which does not accurately reflect the usage under normal circumstances.
A new phone gets touched and used so much more than say a phone that is 4 months old.
So I say, come back and tell me about your battery issues in 3 months. Safe to say half of you will say it's been 'conditioned'

No one has complained about battery life more than me. Device replacement, OS 10.1, a few battery conditioning sessions and about two weeks of use.
This is a shot of an average day, text/BBM, Facebook, Twitter, news apps, etc.
Drain really normalized when I stopped using it for FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT. But honestly 10.1 has been a life saver.
My two cents.
Posted via CB1005-28-13 12:15 AMLike 3 - The majority of people who purchase a new phone only have a 14 day period to evaluate the phone. They don't have a month. And if somebody bought a Z10 recently, this issue with the sub par battery is going to be a major considering factor in whether to keep the phone or return it.05-28-13 12:18 AMLike 3

"Ideal battery performance"
Lol. Each has their own "ideal." Battery performance for me is on par with any LTE-capable phone I've come across.
Besides, having an extra battery is always a decent idea anyways.
The issue is being addressed. If you can't be bothered to keep your phone up to date, don't be surprised or upset if it isn't performing it's best.quangtran1 likes this.05-28-13 12:24 AMLike 1 -

I'm an Analyst with a background in Mechanical Engineering. Trust me when I tell you that just because there are many variables, it doesn't mean you cannot derive data from it. Because you most definitely can. There is always data.anon(4021844) likes this.05-28-13 01:19 AMLike 1 - Battery life on the Z10 has been erratic at best. Everyone's circumstances and real world use is different so their experience is subjective, I get that, but there are legitimate concerns with the performance.
I can't seem to get a good read on mine. Friday I got almost 22 hours out of it and today I got 6. It's fluctuated like that since I got the phone on release day. Granted use age was different but that type of variance is excessive.
FWIW my wife has the Moto RAZR HD and she is on the thing all day and all night (new baby at home). She can get 36 hours out of the phone full use with LTE, WiFi, and BT on all the time. Add to that side by side the RAZR and Z10 are not noticeably different in size. I love my berry but the performance of the RAZR is almost enough to give it a test drive.
Final note, bedtime here and I have 75% left after a full recharge at 4pm (phone died after 6 hours). Wife's phone, 68% off charger at 430AM.

Same applies to smartphones, they are limited to what they can put in the phone due to budget and market calling for thinner phones. So if you would like some extra juice, get an extended battery or a spare.
BBRY telling you to get a spare battery isn't as bad as Steve Jobs telling iPhone users that they are all holding there phones wrong. Lmao
