Here us what I did based on many suggestions on many posts. It took a ton of time and reading to find all the recommendations but glad I took the time.
1). Turn off BlackBerry Link and only turn on when require. Let's face it, the vast majority of people don't need this on 100% of the time.
2). Turn off sending BlackBerry diagnostics data. I read this one from someone else's post. I did some testing just this weekend and it does impact battery but clearly wasn't the biggest drain of the 3 changes I made.
3). Leave the phone drain the battery totally which will cause it to shutoff. Remove sim and SD card and charge battery in external charger.
Those 3 things I did in conjuction improved my battery left to the best it has ever been. Testing of 2) this weekend leads me to believe 1) and 3) likely contributed more to the significant improvements.
I haven't been streaming media or radio lately and just use for calls, BBM, sms, tons of emails and a few hours on cb a day. I have only 2 email push accounts one EAS (outlook.com) and 1 okay with sync sent to manual. Get all tasks, notes, calendar and email updates in seconds and more often faster than my laptop and desktops.
I only get 3-5 calls a day as I handle most things via some form of electronic messaging be it sms, bbm or email.
I browse the internet and use CB app 2-4 hours a day
This activity may make me an average user but I really don't know.
Just wanted to provide some insights to my typical activity that provides me 32+ hours and even surpassed 40 hours on occasion.
Hope this helps others as I now have the best battery life I have ever had on my Z10 due to 10.2.1 upgrade.
P.s. I have about 40 android apps and use many of them daily and haven't noticed any battery drain. I use the android version of Flipboard from Google play for 1+ hours a day and many other Android apps I have loaded from gplay daily. 10.2.1 with snap has completely closed my app gap. Loving the upgrade.
