Battery pulls after OS update?
- I have always wanted to ask this question as it seems many people have been doing this recently. Shall I MUST do a battery pull whenever I upgrade my device using the Loader application? If so, how many battery pulls do I have to do to get the battery life better after upgrading my OS? Would it really make a difference?

Anyways to the OP, I generally will reboot about 3-5 times during the week that I upgraded. What's interesting about my Blackberry is how stable it is. When I had my Android, it didn't need to be reset but I can promise you, when it was ready for it, it will let you know by randomly shutting down. That annoyed the crap outta me when I was listening to music or watching youtube. I have never had my Blackberry reset on me. I've had to manually reset it if I uninstall an app or as said above, a few times during the first week of an OS update. I will still reset occasionally just to be on the safe side though04-29-12 07:05 AMLike 0 - To battery pull is basically stabilizing the phone so that its performance and battery gets better.
Its extremely recommended.
This is the frequency:
OS 5.0 : 1 in 3 days
OS 6.0 : Once a week or twice
OS 7.0 : <once a week.

So a battery pull in between sets things in better order and sometimes make your phone more "responsive" - "fixes" corrupt memory and indexes to prevent crashes,.. and for some it seems to help increase battery life as well...04-29-12 01:36 PMLike 0
