Blackberry battery draining like crazy!!

Okay, so my blackberry was working fine and suddenly one day when I just opened it up for about an hour the battery died. Then the next day it got worse and died in about half an hour. Now whenever I open it for about five, ten minutes it would either say "battery drained, shutting down handheld" or go black and I can't restart it. I tried to take out the battery and put it back in but most of the time it doesn't work. The times it worked and it showed me that there's 80% battery left!!! Before the autoshutdown it was showing 10%!!!! Could someone help because I have to use this BB for work.

This is driving me nuts, but I solved it! Same thing, all of a sudden one day battery started to die after 30 minutes being off the charger, 3-4 calls, a couple texts and red warning of death shows up, blackberry (Curve 8530) shuts down. I did a little reading and it turns out what it is, is the CPU is working overtime on something unknown, possibly just stuck in a loop, and so just like a stubborn computer, I rebooted it. Just hit left-alt, right-shift, del keys all at the same time and hold it till it reboots. This is a soft reboot so you won't wipe it. Viola! Blackberry back to normal for full days use again. Unfortunatly, I went and bought a new battery in the meantime making the assumption. I hate to say it, but this is my last Blackberry, I am really tired of these silly issues with no support. It's driving me nuts when my friends flaunt their trouble free various smartphones. Along the line, RIM forgot all about customer support, there is no way we the customers should be left struggling with these issues on our own, time and time again. This is a common problem and no solutions coming from them directly. Sad.

Battery drain like crazy

why is blackberry based?
tteries draining like mad when phone is not in u

I have a 9860 with excellent battery life. I suggest you take the battery out, wait a minute and reinstall. Maybe some App was running in the background.

Battery drains like crazy, and now not charging fully! 3GS

My 3GS was 100% at 9am. I got a text message at 9:36am, and the battery was at 97%, so I went to reply to it. My phone shut off, like it had a dead battery, so I put it on the charger. About two minutes later, it turned back on and said it was at 62% battery! So, I kept it on the charger. It got to 72% and wouldn't charge any more. I took it off the charger for a moment before putting it back on. It wwent up to 73% and said it was full. I did that a couple more times, but it stopped charging once it hit 74%, so I'm not sure what to do. I need my phone! I don't have a land-line, so this is the only way I can communicate with my family, friends, potential employers, etc.
(I was having the problem of the phone shutting off before I upgraded to OS5, but it got worse once I upgraded.)

It has never been dropped in water, and the closest it ever gets to water is being in my pocket or bag when it rains. I did a full restore, and it got worse...

HT4623 My iphone is draining like crazy. i gets completely empty within 06 hours while idling... i am baffled.. please help

My iphone is draining like crazy. i gets completely empty within 06 hours while idling... i am baffled.. please help

There's an app on the phone that is stuck sending data, or trying to send and failing, and in an infinite loop. Mail can do this if you have an Exchange account or iCloud account. Sometimes a corrupt calendar entry or contact can cause this.
But first, if you have either type of account go into Settings and turn it off, then reboot the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). If the problem goes away you have identified the culprit. If you turn the account back on and the problem does not come back no further action is required.
If this doesn't fix it you have to find the app. Any app that exchanges a lot of data (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc) is a possibility.

Battery draining like ****

Good day to you all,

If you have same problem I would love to know the solution to this . Thanks

Remove background Apps from memory. Press the Home button twice quickly. In the new row of icons at bottom of screen, hold on an icon until you get the Red Minus Signs. Tap all the Red Minus Signs. When done with that, tap the Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. When done with that, see if iPhone functions better.

Battery is draining like crazy!!!

I haven't had this happen yet, but I haven't used my phone much today, and i'm about 30 minutes from leaving work and it's saying there's only 20% left! ***!
Has anyone had any problems where the phone starts losing power with extremely limited use?

AFAIK, the iPhone battery does not require the conditioning you describe. This is something that's recommended for Apple notebooks to help calibrate the battery sensing when the notebook is new, or upon battery replacement. A periodic complete discharging of the notebook battery is needed only when the user tends to keep it plugged in much of the time. This allows the battery to get some 'exercise', so to speak. But the mode of use for a phone is quite different from a notebook and, therefore, it's not likely to spend as much time plugged in.
I think the folks at your Apple Store are well-meaning, but are getting their subject matter confused.
Of course, if anyone wants to follow this procedure as a sort of placebo, then by all means... But keep in mind that batteries have a fixed cycle life, so you may wish to make sure the phone is used productively while in pursuit of its 'conditioning'.

My 3gs updated for 5.1 and its draining like crazy

I updated my 3gs from 5.0.1 to 5.1 and my phone was heated all day, i closed all the apps and I wasn't downloading anything. Usually at the end of the day I would be around 50-60% but before the day ended my phone was already dead. How could I fix this, i'm sure this isn't a battery problem because I didn't have this problem yesterday.

you can start by searching the forum and taking some of the excellent steps recommended to maximize battery life.

IPhone 4S battery drain like **** after 6.1.2 update

I had my iPhone 4S updated to 6.1.2 and the battery drop from 98% to 80 % in 1 hour without doing anything ( standby mode) .

that's a common complaint. You will have to wait until a fix/update is released by Apple.

Battery Drains In IPhone 5s In IOS 8.1.1

Hi All ,
I'm Using Apple I Phone 5s White 32gb , Using 2G data That Too Very Rare..
But After Updating To IOS 8.1.1 My Battery Get Drained Superbly
My Phone Stand By Is Only 6Hours And 45 Minutes Only,
Changed Battery From Store Also , No Help ,
Seems There Is A Problem In IOS 8.1.1..
We Need This To Be Fixed In Coming Update , R Else Apple Will Lose A Old Customer ..
Is Any One Having The Same Problem ?

I answered extensively in another forum. Here is my reply. I understand apple released today 8.1.2. I will check if it solves the issue. I have the same problem with battery drain on stand by at 7 hours after doing everything you can read below. Hope it helps
I had the same issue with iphone 5s (32gb) i upgraded as soon as the 8.1.1 came out and i suddenly saw the battery drain like crazy. In mid morning i was down to 40% and in the early afternoon gone. I left it at night running on sleep mode and the battery was drained who knows when. I normally when i have 40-50% I leave it and in the morning i have a few percentage points left....but never nothing !1
My wife is running the same phone on "8.02" and I did not upgrade hers, and no issues with battery drain there. Now she refuses to let me touch her phone in case i upgrade and screw up hers too!.. she is right in not trusting these upgrades. !
I tried all the tips and tricks that you read all over the web to stop drainage...from background refresh, to motion reduce, location, notifications...etc...believe me tried them all.
I also restored the phone a few times to clean start (8.1.1), and then also from my back up in itunes...
Nothing worked. !! My 5s becomes warmer than my wife 5s and there is definitely something running in the background that depletes the battery much faster.
I went to check the battery with my mobile operator and they claimed there is no problem...but go tell the guy fixing screws on iphones that the web is full of reports on battery drain with 8.1.1 .
After much research and waste of time...i managed to find the IPSW for downgrading to "8.1" I did succeed to downgrade and i will be testing in the next few days if all is ok. I will report any results
I learned one lesson....don't trust the iOS "upgrades" until a few weeks and month go by to check what effects they have on the phone !! They sell you a phone for over 700-800 bucks and then you have to waste your time figuring out how to solve their software problems.Who is going to pay for my time?
With a market valuation of over $650 Billion and the stock price over $110, you would expect them to check thoroughly before they release a version to fix one device and screw up the others. I guess Apple & Samsung are almost running a duopoly on Smartphones. Yes, there is competition (HTC, LG, Sony, Nokia..) there but if you want the most advanced model, you need to choose between 2 or 3 suppliers. Once all your data is connected to one Operating System, the switching costs to another platform becomes expensive..cause you need to buy a new phone and a new tablet and move all your data, settings..etc
So for the time being i am stuck with iOS with an iPhone and iPad, and hopefully the downgrade will solve the Battery Drain of 8.1.1
So my recommendation if you have an iPhone 5s : DO NOT UPGRADE TO 8.1.1

Battery draining during stand-by time

Recently my phone's battery life hasn't been as good as it was when I first got it. I haven't been using it any more than I used to, and when I am using it the battery life has been about the same, however I have noticed that when I'm not using it (stand-by) the battery drains like crazy. 10%-15% an hour during stand-by!! Any suggestions on why this could be happening? I just tried the suggestions in previous posts to turn off push notifications, email, all apps, and safari pages and then did a hard re-boot. I'm also in the process of letting the battery completely drain and then I will let it charge to 100%. Other than these suggestions, could there be something else that is wrong?

Hi there avk111!
I have some articles here that will provide some information about batteries in our iOS devices. These will help you understand a little more about your battery and the way the operating system reports the battery's status. These articles are mostly referencing the batteries installed in iPods instead of iPads, but the advice and information is still relevant to the iPad. The first article I can provide can be found here, and is an FAQ about batteries:
iPod battery frequently asked questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26689
There is also an article that can help you extend your battery life in your iOS device, and can be found here:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Battery drain/no email

Hello from a newbie,
Since the other day I have not been receiving emails on my BB Curve. Also I keep getting an hourglass symbol and my battery is draining like crazy. I tried closing applications, cleaning memory, removing the battery...and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

I am still a newbie myself with the blackberry but here are a couple of things I have learned. We will have further help from my blackberry friends soon.
This may be a memory issue. Go to your OPTIONS icon< Status < and see how much file free you have.
Read over this and see if it is helpful.

IPhone 5 IOS (6.1.4) battery drain when off wifi, on 3G.

My battery has been draining like crazy, I'd get about 3-4 hours max before it goes flat. This is when I'm out if the house and not on wifi, but when I'm at home for the day lets say on the weekend, I'd get about 6-7 hours usage? What's the culprit of this!? I took it to the Genius Bar to get it checked out and they said it was operating fine, but it overheats and sometimes it turns it's self off before it reaches 1%, and it'd jump from 26% to 15% in one go... I don't have any major things that'll effect the battery majorly so is it a rogue app? It's driving me insane!!!!!

Try this it works System Services, and turned off Diagnostics & Usage, Genius for Apps and Location-Based iAds.

IPhone 4 battery draining + flash not working

I've had my phone since February 2011, and haven't had any problems up until today. The flash no longer works, I've attempted taking pictures and using flashlight apps, but it's not working whatsoever. And yesterday, the battery started draining like crazy out of nowhere. I fully charged it before unplugging for the night, and by the time I woke up it was completely dead. My phone is usually my alarm, so I was lucky to wake on time. I fully charged it tonight after it drained again, and it's already at 78% just a few hours later and no use. My phone has been opened before, but not fiddled around with at all. Any ideas of what could be causing this, I appreciate!

Just an update - this ended up not fixing my problem. The battery is still draining.
On a side note - I actually left my phone charging overnight and the alarm did not go off this morning because the phone was mysteriously shut off during the night. It hasn't done this in 3 years but did the night of the iOS upgrade yesterday.

Those I've highlighted in red are extremely high.
Do you use BBM very much, such as BBM Groups?
Open the BBM app, tap the FEEDS or UPDATES tab and scroll all through that as far as you can.
Close BBM and watch the same Dev Manager in two days, let's see if that reduces the BBM usage.
