Is your battery life better or worse?

Noticeably better. I've been off the cradle for 12 hours and still have over 50% battery life. Most days, I'm out at 9:30 and back home after 9:00pm with maybe 40% battery life at the worst, and this with lots of messaging, occasional Internet use, and lots of music playing.

On my z, my battery was better on the official 10.2.0.17xx version (can't remember the exact version). It's acceptable on 1055. I get 12-14 hours with moderate use. Less on weekends bc I'm on it more.

There's a newer official version out. You'll have to use Sachesi to install it since AT&T hasn't released it. The good thing is that since it's official, it will be a nondestructive install.

So why aren't all of the versions installable like 1055? Why do some require the other method?

The other versions aren't available on the BlackBerry servers yet.

Three hours later and I'm only at 34% battery life after lots more messaging, Internet browsing, and Bridge connection with my PlayBook. I say install the leak. Not only is the battery life great, but the 10.2.1 features are too cool to pass up. There's just no telling how long until AT&T actually releases a new OS.

I agree with Captain. You don't have to go with a leak if you are not comfortable but at least go with the latest 10.2.0.xxxx official. The battery life on that was amazing as was rhe the radio.

Just get another Z10 to play with - they are cheap these days and would serve as a backup if you physically damage your primary.

Definitely better. I went all day yesterday from the time I got out of bed until the time I went to sleep and even streamed a full length movie to the big screen.

BTW, I can say for sure that this leak works on AT&T for anyone who is nervous about taking the plunge. Backup with Link, run the autoloader, then restore from backup. All I had to do was re-enter my account passwords and everything was there. Pretty awesome!

I surprisingly get between 10 - 16 hours depending on usage. The CPU management seems a lot more stable than previous 10.2 leaks.

You CAN install the other versions like 1055. There's autoloaders for the offical versions once they were first leaked. I don't know why others insist on using other methods. Autoloaders are by far the simplest way to update your z10.

Some folks prefer nondestructive methods so they don't have to restore data or setup as new.

BlackBerry Link works just fine.

I personally hate Link, but regardless, backups get corrupted a lot and have caused all sorts of issues.
