Curve 9300 3G Sudden rapid battery drain w upgrade to version 6.0 - solution

Issue : Curve 3G works perfeclty fine running BBOS 5.0 and an upgrade suddenly results in very poor batterylife
Check: use CPU discovery to see if the required Blackberry Phone application reports signficant CPU use (say 5 hours or more) that is obvioiusly more than what you were actually making calls with on your phone
Solution: try doing a fresh re-install using using BBDM, or even downgrading one version of version 6.0 (option is available if using BBDM. (in my case was running 6.0.0.5xx and downgraded to 6.0.0.4xx)
This was an easy fix, given i was highly inclined to otherwise throw the phone under the bus.
Caveats:
- problem may be carrier specific
- corrput install of the phone application may repeat itself due to firewall/hardware of your computer
Worked perfect for me and was easy to do, i.e. if you are comfortable enough using BBDM, and have added/removed any applications (or done backups and restores) you should be able to do this by just upgrading or downgrading the BB Version 6 "core applications" as you cannot just select the Phone application as a standalone install
I posted this separate message in the hopes of saving someone else new to this problem reading scores and scores of threads without anyone CLEARLY pointing the fix.

I noticed the same, the "Phone" app uses a lot of resources causing the battery to drain. I upgraded to 6.0.0.7xx and this seems to have fixed this issue for now.

Battery drains after upgraded to ios5

battery drains after upgraded to ios5 my iphone4

With iOS 5.0 battery life was terriable. Apple quickly fixed it with 5.01. Now with 5.1 battery life is back to terrible. I could go at least two days without a charge. After the update (and all my patterns and behaviors being the same), I don't even get a full day! Apple needs to fix this! Or allow us to go back to iOS 5.01.

Sudden MASSIVE battery drain on 3GS 4.0.1

Never had any issues with battery on 4.0.1 until today. I took the phone off the charger just before 7 a.m. Central this morning. I did not have the phone hooked up to my car stereo on the way to work this morning since my car is in the shop and I'm in a rental.
So I haven't really used the phone much at all today, just a little Facebook viewing earlier. I'd say maybe 20 minutes of use total today so far. Suddenly I noticed a few minutes ago, around 12:30 p.m. Central, that the battery is showing only 33%! The back of the phone feels slightly warm through the case, also.
I checked usage, and somehow both Usage and Standby were in perfect sync at over 5 hours 30 minutes! ***?? I even watched it as the minutes ticked up one on both readings at exactly the same instant.
I checked running processes in SBSettings, and boy there were a lot of them. Only had about 20MB free memory. I got rid of everything in the list.
I also noticed that the phone was in 3G mode, even though it should be on the office wi-fi. I checked wi-fi settings, and it was set to some network SSID I didn't recognize, even though the 3G symbol was still showing at the top. I tapped "Forget this Network" and put it back on our office wi-fi.
So now it seems to be back to normal. The Standby time continues to rack up, while the Usage time isn't going up anymore. But still, what could have caused this? Usage and Standby both reporting the exact same time? I didn't really have anything "running". Several apps were listed in the process list but nothing that I don't normally use every single day. Bejeweled 2 was there, just as I left it when I last played it this morning, but it wasn't running the game or anything.
Why would this just suddenly happen today? Is there any way to see what process is actually using memory and battery? Could it have been somehow caused by that wi-fi network I didn't recognize?

It appears to be Bejeweled 2 causing the battery drain. Game Center is NOT installed on my device, as I'm running 4.0.1. Been on 4.0.1 for a month now, and never had this problem until yesterday. What could the problem be?

Why Does My iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1 Cause Rapid Battery Drain

I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0.1, and now the battery drains very rapidly---needs to be recharged after a few hours---and gets very warm. Before this, iOS 4.0 was fine (although slightly increased battery drain over 3.1.3).
I use Exchange with push and had no issues before iOS 4.0.1. This may be the culprit now because when I turn off "push," the battery drain appears to be normal (although not extensively tested yet). But, I also have MobileMe, Yahoo!, and Google email accounts set up.
Is this a new problem? Anyone else have this problem? How can this be fixed? Anyone have any ideas?

*Reposting this..had done the same thing earlier as well*
This is my observation from past 6 nights;
All 6 nights, charged my iPhone to max and then kept it in sleep/stand by. Not even a single call or mail checked...(11 pm to 6:30 am when my alarm rings)
1st & 2nd Nights, I had flight center, angry birds, twitter, facebook, mail, phone, sms, settings app open in the multi-tasking bar.
Battery drained from 100% to 83%
3rd and 4th nights, i had only twitter, facebook, mail, phone, sms
Battery drained from 100% to 92%
5th and 6th nights, I had nothing open
Battery drained from 100% to 93%
my mail is always in push enable setting to exchange and me account,
location always on, bluetooth always off. 3G off
I thought, the applications on multi tasking bar is actually not draining the battery, but looks like they are...might be a flaw in multi tasking api or may be from developer.
I hope to get an easy way to kill the apps and not let it go to multi tasking bar.

IOS 4.2.1 + 3G data = hot phone & extremely rapid battery drain

Anyone else having this issue?
Since "upgrading" to iOS 4.2.1 on the weekend, it seems anytime I try to use the phone for data over 3G, it'll heat up like crazy and I can watch the battery drain in front of my eyes.
Everything else works fine including data over WiFi aside from some apps quitting abruptly without any transition effects.
I've reset and just finished Restoring. Less than a minute after I turn off WiFi and use any kind of data, the phone heats up and my battery % actually went down while connected to my Mac Pro.

Donovan,
just wanted to share my experience... I too updated to 4.2.1 the other day and running on Rogers network. I noticed that the 3G data seems to be the culprit. Its consistantly downloading data! I can only imagine what Rogers is going through if all iphone 3G's are having this issue :s... I just turned off cellular data and running some tests, later tonight going to try a full restore to see what that will do...
keep you posted.

Rapid battery drain after Mavericks Install

Hey everyone,
I've spent a lot of time reviewing the existing threads and haven't been able to pinpoint a solution to my issue. I upgraded my late 2008 MacBook Aluminum 2.4 GHZ to Mavericks, and noticed considerable battery drain. I made an appointment at the Apple Store to do a clean install of Mavericks, and this seemed to help but as I installed software required to access internet at school (SafeConnect, AnyConnect VPN, Avast) my battery life has gone down again. Also, the battery drains when the computer is supposed to be in sleep mode. I have a new battery on board (127 cycles, my cycle count has increased a lot due to this battery drain issue). Does anyone have an idea of what could be the offending software and provide me potential alternatives?
Some numbers for reference: With Snow Leopard I have 3.5 hrs of battery life, and after my initial clean install I had 3.5 hrs of battery life (so no improvement, but no worse performance either..). Now I am lucky to make 2 hrs with a full charge.

9800 Torch - Rapid Battery Drain

I've searched a bunch of forums and found that this is an old problem, but this has just started happening on my device within the last 2-3 weeks. I have a Torch 9800 with 6.0.0 Bundle 2647. When i look for an upgrade, the desktop software tells me that i have the latest version (ie..no upgrade available).
My Blackberry 6.0.0 System Software is pulling 100% of the CPU time. I have deleted a few of the apps that i thought might be the culprit, and the problem goes away for a day or two, then boom, BSS 6.0.0 is pulling 100% again, and my battery drains quickly, and the phone acts sluggish, to the point it is almost useless. I am at wits end, and although this appears to have been resolved in an older version of the OS, my OS seems to be up to date.
Any ideas out there?
txs
.g.

What OS are you on? On your device, type in a new message MYVER and a space after to see and report back please.
Try a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC. Then try again and see if your problem persists.

Rapid battery drain after turning on iCloud

Is it normal for iCloud to drain my battery so quickly? Since turning on iCloud for Calendars, my battery drained almost completely overnight, and went from 61% down to 36% in about 2 hours doing nothing other than sending one very short (2 words) iMessage. I'd like to use iCloud but keeping my iPhone plugged in constantly is not an option.

IOS 5 rapid battery drain (including in sleep mode), springboard crashes: FIX!

OK folks, I resolved all issues in their entirety with the help of a genius bar tech who recognized that I was very technical. WARNING! Sync or backup your phone prior to performing these steps!
First, do a MANUAL download here of the IOS 5 that matches the model of phone you have and save that image to your desktop or some other place on your computer. PUT THE PHONE IN DFU MODE, not recovery mode (google on how to accomplish if you are not familiar). The raeson why you are going to put in DFU mode is so that you will be able to not only get a good copy of IOS 5 installed but to ensure that your firmware is not corrupt, which appeared to be the case with my battery drains and springboard crash issues.
One you are in DFU mode (your screen should be black the whole time, again google), open itunes and it will give you a warning that says that your phone needs to be restored. If you are on a mac, hold down the option key and press RESTORE in iTunes. This will open up a box that will allow you to "locate and select" a file, which will be the IOS 5 image that you manually downloaded before.
Once you do, the iphone will start to restore. After all of the restore cycles have been completed, you will be prompted in iTunes to either setup as a new phone or restore from backup. I USED RESTORE FROM BACKUP so that I could preserve all of my settings. Everything has been working PERFECTLY ever since completing these steps! I will probably go ahead and make a separate thread related to this fix.
I hope this helps! Scott

Their is another thread in here that mentions turning off reporting of Diagnostics data (Settings --> General --> About --> Scroll to the bottom/Diafnostics --> Select Don't send.
Another item to check are you E-mail accounts. If you only have one account in this section then you should be good. If you have multiple and have every feature turned on (Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc) then your device could be trying to update to all and timing out which would get it to retry over and over again. I have turned off all the other features for my email accounts with the exception of iCloud and my battery life is looking good.

Rapid battery drain repaired - why?

My battery suddenly started draining from fully charged to 20% or less in 4 hours or less. This continued for three days. Finally, I accidentally let the battery go to zero. The phone reset itself in the charger and the battery began to function normally after charging. What happened? Could I have fixed this problem without draining the battery?

You recalibrated the battery. Its a wise move on any modern rechargeable device

High CPU usage - Rapid Battery Drain - Running HOT

Looking for help.. PLEASE!
Z10 - Model STL100-3 Software release 10.2.1.2179
Symptoms;
Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I notice my Z10 getting hot in my pocket. I run the device monitor App and see a very high CPU usage, which consequently drains the batter very quickly.
I've tried all the solutions from every support group thread and blog. And I mean ALL!
Pulling the battery
Replaced the battery
Removed the SIM
Deleted G Mail
Removed all 3rd party Apps (2)
Stopped email sync
Stopped calendar sync
Turned off all radio
Turned Off Wi-Fi
Let it sit for hours, even days to let it finish doing whatever its trying to do
Etc Etc Etc.
Finally, I called BB support, they wanted $50 to talk to someone. I told them the issue, they said the device is bad and must be replaced. I said its software related!! They said.. no, its a hardware issue. Device is under warranty and they want me to just go get a new one. I don't want a new one, I want a fix! Stop the waste of BB $
Temporary solution
Eventually, I decided I would do a restore, back to the factory settings, and here's when I found something
I run BB Link, connect the device, do a back-up... and LOW AND BEHOLD.. this fixes the high CPU usage and the device runs great, very cool, low cpu and extremely long battery life.
Sadly! .. this problem reoccurs, after a few days, sometimes after a couple of weeks and just out of the blue.
I can force this fault to occur, simply by doing a restart of the device. Sure enough, it will run hot, use all the cpu and I will have to do a back-up to get it to settle down again. I've tried to wait for the so called 'indexing' to finish, but it never stops running with high cpu and doesn't help.
Can any one tell me whats happening and how to make this a permanent fix?
There are hundreds if not thousands of people having very similar issues, and many different methods to fix it. Its my belief that there is an underlying bigger problem that relates to all these differing fixes, but as yet.. I cant find it and none of these fixes work for me. For now... I will keep doing the occasional back-up and hope I get a response that can help.
Thanks to all that read this.

The heat may be normal. After a little water damage incident, which I repaired, I disassembled my Z10 the find a small heat sink will thermal compound. This helps dissipate heat efficiently. I found a large number of air bubbles and possibly a large air pocket by the way the paste stuck to both sides. I removed the old paste and replaced it with artic silver paste and the z10 has been much much cooler. It use to run about 105*f and now it is around 85*f.
See this thread I posted for before and after pictures using a thermal imager.

@Curve8530 .....as much a s your discovery is appreciated, I hardly believe that most people will actually dismantle their phone to remove the paste and replace with arctic silver. Besides, what you are doing is not a fix for the actual problem....
In most cases, this heat is associated with apps using the CPU resources beyond the normal limits.
As an easy fix, finding and removing the app(s) in question followed by a reboot, solves the issue. In some cases an OS reload is necessary.... but under no circumstances I would even remotely suggest to any member to dismantle their phone and do what you did...

After updating my 3gs to ios5 nothing works properly the phone is slow, no service, rapid battery drain, excessive heat when in use for longer periods of time, does not connect to vehicle stereo through usb, and screen is on but not responding to control

my 3gs battery dies rapidly and gives off excessive heat when in use no service anywhere, slow reponse time sometimes not at all like lights on but no one home, calls drop can text no 3g can not connect to vehicle usb as a note i restored the phone from my back up

Same problems, unfortunatley I updated to 5.0 1 hour before going on holiday for three weeks and no way to restore my phone to try to remove it.At the same time, drop outs, range problems and the most annoying was my music and apps were corrupted and would not function properly :-(

MacBook Pro 2011 suddenly slow, battery draining etc

My computer crashed end of December 2012 right before vacation. I went to the Genius Bar, diagnosed as a "software issue". Had computer erased and started over. Upgraded to Yosemite while out of town. When I came home, I transferred back data from Time Capsule with Migration Assistant. I have talked to Apple 4 times and given 4 different answers (remount Time Machine, reset PVRAM, etc). Read through this thread but I don't see what to do. Here is my EtreCheck. Seriously I need help because this is my work and school computer and it needs to be fixed. Do I need to get more ram? Battery health says good but it seems as if its draining seriously fast.   And I hear the fan coming on a lot more.
Problem description:
My system is constantly moving slow and programs take a while to open.

Select each of the items shown in RED in Activity Monitor. Click on the Quit icon in AM's toolbar then click on the Force Quit button. You only need to do this if you are unable to quit the programs in the normal way - Make the program the frontmost application, then press COMMAND-Q.
You also have two items in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. They should not be there. You can remove them. HP should have updated software that replaces the older driver. I'm not sure about the TiVo item, but it should not be installed in that location.
You should check the Classroom Enrichment application for compatibility with Yosemite: See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
As for your backup needs I would suggest this:
Repartition the Seagate backup drive. This removes all the Seagate software. If you want more control over your backups than provided by Time Machine see the following options:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. You can download free trial versions of all six so you can try them out and decide on the one you prefer before paying for it. I am a big fan of Carbon Copy Cloner, but that does not mean it's your best choice.
Now given all the above consider that you can always use Time Machine. But until you get your computer straightened out I would refrain from making a backup. There's no point in restoring a malfunctioning backup made of a malfunctioning computer.

Rapid battery drain over EDGE

EDGE seems to just rip through battery on my phone. An hour and ten minutes of browsing over edge completely drains my battery. Hardly the six hours advertised. Anyone have any suggestions?

Read more of what was advertised. The fineprint note below says:
Internet over Wi-Fi: Testing conducted by Apple in May and June 2007 using preproduction iPhone units and software. Internet over Wi-Fi testing conducted using a closed network and dedicated web and mail server, simulating browsing to 20 popular URLs and checking mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Call Forwarding was turned on; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; WPA2 encryption was enabled. Battery life depends on the cellular network, location, signal strength, Wi-Fi connectivity, feature configuration, usage, and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPhone units; actual results may vary. Internet over EDGE: Testing conducted by Apple in May and June 2007 using preproduction iPhone units and software. Internet over EDGE testing conducted over a 1900MHz EDGE, using a dedicated web and mail server, simulating browsing to 20 popular URLs and checking mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Call Forwarding was turned on; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off. Battery life depends on the cellular network, location, signal strength, EDGE connectivity, feature configuration, usage, and many other factors.

But honestly, I get more than what you say you get, but I also don't get many phone calls (0 to 2 a day for just a few mins). Phone calls will kill your battery faster that other activities. Will say Internet over Edge is second fastest. If you get a few calls and browse a lot....well, find a WiFi hotspot.
