    3days earlier I purchased BlackBerry Z3
    Its really amazing phone with fluid, buttery OS
    Diplay is also good, most of apps work installed
    Amazon marketplace and Mobomarket

    Now the thing is my phone takes 3hrs to charge
    And in each hour 5-7 % battery drain on standby but my main concern is when I use my phone for talking or surfing net
    Battery drains very fast example 10% drain in 10 minutes is this normal??
    I have read reviews on net they said phone has good battery remain for one or two days
    My software version is 10.2.1.2977

    I think it's because the phone is new! Wait for sometime. And also that the 2977 doesn't have the best battery, why don't you try a hard reset!
    You perform this by holding the volume up and down buttons till the BLUE BlackBerry logo comes!
    This won't delete anything and won't change anything, but will free up ram

    Thanks for reply bro
    Tried security wipe which take around 1hr
    Searched on net for full reset but just little bit better hope BlackBerry will fix this and give update
    I have Xperia C also it has got 2430mah battery but it really give superb backup so as compared to z3 2500mah it stand nowhere

    I also had the same problem. You need to reload the OS

    5-7% battery drop in one hour standby is abnormal.
    My Z3 drops 1% per hour (standby) most of the time.

    I have reloaded OS but for 2 days it was working well but again BBM has started to consume all my battery. I guess we need to wait until next BBM update
