Z10 Battery Is very poor

I only upgraded to the Z10 5 days ago and have loaded the latest upgrades via Blackberry Link and transferred data from my previous Blackberry ok, I have had to switch off pretty well everything except the text and phone sounds, all other application are in the off position and I have deleted my email account too, but the battery life compared to my old phone is rubbish and I am very disappointed at this time. I can almost watch the battery life drain away. If I put the email account back on and then use wi-fi for ten minutes, the battery is down to the red within 2 hours. It seems I am going to have to spend again on a new battery and charger, so I can charge 2 batteries at a time. Not a happy bunny!!

Wow, you'd rather declare it poor than ask questions and learn what's going on?
After any OS upgrade on a BB10 device, it will take 48-72 hours for the device data syncing of email, contacts, social apps, etc., to complete and finish. High data transfer after an upgrade cause high processor use, which in turn causes high battery usage. Likewise, high processor use will cause some lag and initial slowness. Ignore and and be patient. It can take the 48 hours for all contacts to sync back to the device. And, the battery will recover after a few days. Just don't drain your battery to 10% or less each time, top off the charge. You'll notice a difference after a couple days.

Hi I have 15" i7 2.4GHz 4GB/750GB Dec 2011. Anyone else finding battery time very poor?

Charging seems to be okay and goes up to 100% with no problems. When running on battery it seems to run down very quickly. Typical was yesterday started at 97%. I only typed 7 pages of word processing, a little bit of surfing and email and by late afternoon battery was down to 6%. In between it was eother on standby or off. But over the few weeks I have had it the battery does seem to be running down quickly. My wife has 13" MacBook and battery seems much better. I see that my MacBook Pro spec is less battery time than the MacBook 13" but this does seem very poor indeed. Is this typical in your experience? Anyone done anything about it? Thanks

Actually my MBP 15" i7 2.2 battery life is very good. And that is with a SSD, original drive in a Optibay, 8GB RAM.
I do turn off bluetooth, set the screen brightness down a little and have it set to only use the intergrated graphics when on battery.
You really don't say how long it was, length of time, from 97% to 6% but even when the system is asleep it uses power.

Lumia 900 battery Lumia 900 Battery life very poor

I was very surprised by this phone Lumia 900, although it has a single-core processor, it moves very quickly. Unfortunately i'm extremely disappointed with the battery life. First battery charge lasted about 4 hours and now after 10 days of use, only 6 hours with all features turned off except wi-fi and the battery saver is on. I would like to know if Nokia can replace the device. It is the first time Nokia disappoints me. I've had so far only Nokia phones and i don't think that i can exchange with other company. I would like Nokia to come up with a quick fix.

Nokia will usually only consider replacement if the fault is not fixable. You should get the ball rolling by getting it checked out at your local Nokia Care Point. They may be able to diiagnose the fault and correct it if possible.

Dead battery and very poor support

Hi,
I encountered the dead battery problem about 5 weeks ago on my MacBook. I tried everything but the battery was definately dead. So I went to my local Mac dealer (35 miles away) and he told me that the battery was really dead and he had to order a new one.
After waiting for nearly 4 weeks with a working battery, which is really annoying if you have to work mobile, I had to go on a business trip. During that trip I got a call, that the battery has arrived. Once I was back I went to the store and want to collect it. There I was told, they had to send it back to Apple because I could not pick it up intime.
I already called Apple here in Germany and sent several emails, but still did not get any answer from them.
Is it really good support if you have to wait for four weeks and then only have a week time to pick up the item?
I previously used Dell notebooks and always got replacements on the next day and never encountered this poor support.
So I switched back to a Dell and will sell the MacBook on Ebay.
@Apple reps: you can delete this posting if you like, like you always do, when someone complains about the support. I will post this on as many Mac forums I can find.
I would really like to know if you encountered similar problems with the support.

@dominiks
I am German too, and I bought my Macbook at Apple's online store (the German one, apparently) as well. Just wanted to remind you that you have a statutory right to give back a faulty Macbook after 2 unsuccessful attempts to fix it. Meaning: If you had 2 unsuccesful repairs, and faults still remain so that you would need to hand it in for a third time, you can refuse this third attempt, and give it back to Apple instead. Don't have a BGB (German civil code) at hand, so I can't tell you the exact statutory provisions, but as much as I can remember it from the top of my head it should be §§ 440, 437 Nr. 2, 323, 326 V (means: "Absatz 5") BGB. But again: check that, as I don't have a BGB nearby.
Thus, no need to sell it on eBay, let them handle that on their own!
@PGESTEP:
Hiya,
I had the same problem, when I handed my Macbook into the Apple store here in Glasgow (am living here currently). Needed to wait 4 weeks, and got a badly repaired Macbook back with a brand new, non working battery. Best thing is: the repair report stated something like 'Everything tested and works fine'. Yeah, sure.,, You better check your Macbook immediately, when they give it back to you! I dunno to much about british consumer protection law (just know that Unfair Terms Act 1977, which isn't really of a help here), but I am pretty sure that you have rights comparable to us Germans.
Am sure that you will find some information about that somewhere in the internet. If not, just ask these city advice bureaus that you can find anywhere in the city, which will advise you for free. At least they do up here in Scotland, albeit I dunno, whether it is the same south the border.
@Apple
Gosh, solve that problem! This is reeeally becoming a big issue. Yeah, you might have won some new customers with the introduction of the Apple platform. But you loose your old ones, and as you can see within this forum, many new customers regret it to have been switched to Apple products. Only the fact that I do own a MacMini which works fine all over holds me back of switching back to Windows.
Have you ever heard of Opel/Vauxhall? They are still struggling because of their fame for rubbish cars in the 90ies, despite the fact that the quality is 10000000 % better nowadays. You DEFINITELY have something to loose here, as you can see!

BlackBerry Z10 - battery drains very quickly even in standby

I have had two Blackberry Z10 phones, and at work the signal is little to none at times and the battery drains and I am not even using the phone. All email accounts and other services have been set to manual update only. A friend of mine had the exact same phone but an AT&T phone mine was Verizon. He had no problem with his in the same office and the same building. Is this a CDMA only problem or a Verizon problem? Love the phones and the way they work but the battery life at work is bad, at home where the signal is 3g and pretty steady I had no probems. I am due for an upgrade in June and am trying to find out if the Z30 for Verizon has the same problem. I have used a windows phone with the same size battery and a bigger screen same location same carrier with more use and no problem.
Thanks

What Android apps do you have installed?
Try this first off, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Watch your device another day and see how it goes.

IPod touch 4 Gen battery on iOS 5 very poor

battery life very poor on iOS 5 then updated to iOS 5.0.1 and it is still verry poor

MY iTouch 4th gen with the latest iOS 5 update has a very short battery life. Even practicing battery saving measures such as turning notifications off and switching to airplane mode unless I want to use the Internet for a short period, the battery lasts barely 2 days. The problem seems to be getting worse. It is sad and disturbing to see how long it is taking Apple to fix this issue. I now feel I need to take my charging cable wherever I go and now perpetually worried the battery is going to run out of energy! Please fix!

BlackBerry z10 battery poor performance

Hey i have a question with regards to how am I supposed to improve my battery on the z10. I bought this phone last year at full price from my carrier. Since then the battery performance has been very poor... even after the number of updates and reducing which apps are running, it still won't last more than 5 hours when using the phone. in fact I would say it drains very quickly. I see the % sign on the battery and it moves from 100% to 87% very quickly like within an hour when i am using my phone. I have done a lot of research over the past year and read forums on how to improve it and have had no results. Can anyone provide me any advice? Perhaps someone from blackberry themselves? I am really disappointed because I could have spent that money on a different phone which has a battery that actually lasts the day. Thank you and I will await for some feedback.

That option is only on newer OS versions.
What OS are you on and do you have many email accounts set up that sync contacts, calendar and more?
I had a corrupt contact that would try to sync over and over again.
Start with this if you sync Over The Air with Outlook
In outlook Make a new folder for contacts called backup
move all contacts to the folder and wait for all to be removed from device
then pull battery on device and put back in
After device boots move contacts from backup to the contacts folder and wait for them all to appear
Make a new contact in outlook and see if it gets to the device.
highlight calendar
goto file import/export
choose export to file
choose Persoanl folder pst, next
make sure calendar is highlighted and choose subfolders if you have them, next
save to desktop with a name you can remember, Finish
Click ok on screen popup
Go to view, arange by events
delete all entries.
close outlook and any word files, open outlook back up after 15 seconds.
Then
goto file import/export
import from another program or file, next
choose Persoanl folder pst, next
find the file and import
Choose highlight calendar and Finish

Yes a lot of people are having this issue it's from the ios 6 update. Some users are reporting battery drains a lot after updating their device
There have always been a lot of battery problems posted about in these forums following each and every iOS update. Personally, I believe that the battery really isn't discharging any faster, it is just that the charging circuit is confused and needs to be reset. I always perform a setup as a new phone for major updates, for example iOS3 to iOS4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, which should be a 'reset' for the charging system, but I do a simple update for point releases--6.0 to 6.0.1, etc. I have never had a problem with battery performance when performing the full update as new, only when I did a 'normal' update for a point release. If I perform an update with a restore from the old backup after a major update the battery problem did appear.
After every iOS point update I always do a full reset--home and on/off buttons held down until the Apple appears--three or four times over the course of a couple of days. I allow the phone to fully charge overnight every night.
This has always resulted in 'normal' battery life after one or a few reset cycles. By 'normal' I mean that a fully charged iPhone, with email and other notifications enabled and set to push, and no particular attention paid to battery conserving techniques, will discharge to about 89% over a 10 hour day. If I make a few phone calls and surf the web a bit then the level has fell to 70% or so, but unless I heavily use my iPhone 5 it doesn't drop below that point.
Prior to performing the resets the charge level would sometimes drop into the 50's or 60's or even lower in a few hours without using the iPhone. This problem 'scenario' has happened with every iPhone I have ever owned and I've owned all but the original iPhone.
As always, YMMV. I make no claims as to its usability for anyone else.

I've just upgraded to the Iphone update and now battery life of the poor is very poor (3 hours). Is there anything I can do to fix this?

MSI GE70 2OE-015NL very poor performance on battery power

Hey guys,
First of all I want to say that I'm really happy with my GE70 notebook. Everything works perfectly fine except for this one thing... When I play games on the notebook while on battery power, the performance is very poor. For example when I normally on AC power get around 250 FPS, it drops down all the way to around 40-60 FPS on battery power. In real demanding games this can be very annoying, since I have to play on AC power constantly for games like Battlefield 4. Although this isn't really a problem for me most of the time, I just don't think that's the concept of a notebook... I monitored some statistics using MSI Afterburner and I noticed that the GPU's core clock is clocked all the way down to a constant 135MHz whilst gaming and the memory is clocked all the way down to around 400MHz. I'm using a GTX 765M. I've already tried changing settings in the Windows power settings, the NVIDIA control panel and I even looked into the BIOS, but I couldn't find a solution to this problem. Apparently the GTX 700M series GPUs support Optimus technology which should give a decent battery life using the full power of your GPU, but for me it doesn't do so. The battery gets drained in around 45 minutes while gaming on very poor performance. I hope you guys can help me out!

Oyo,
All Gamer NB are not done for play in battery mode, battery life are short and the power provide by a battery are far from the power adapter, this mean the NB get less power and your CPU and VGA are working in lower mode = lower result.
This is normal because link to the battery, thepower adapter provide 120W, the battery 49W, you see the gap between them ^^
So for play games, use the power adapter and the battery together, this is the best way.

Z10 battery heating up

Every now and then after prolonged usage by battery gets very warm, I am a battery app which also shows battery temperature, it is normally in the 25 degrees celcius but will spike to the high 30s, is this an issue to be concerned with?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am so angry over this issue. Both my husband and I upgraded to the Z10 at the end of March. He switched to my old BlackBerry Bold 9900 and I am switching to an iPhone very soon when I can muster up the $500+ dollars since I wasted my upgrade on the z10. I have had it and am beyond frustrated with reinstalling the os every 7-10 days. I do this when the battery starts burning up and I am charging it YES sometimes 3 times a day with little to no use. Brutal. Way to many issues with this phone to list. I was a loyal BlackBerry customer that is just now angry.

NB205 - very poor product and service, do not buy Toshiba!! Completely dead in 6 months

I am posting this to warn as many people as possible to avoid buying Toshiba in the future. Not only was the product faulty, which I can understand sometimes happens w mass production. But the service was completely unacceptable, which was the deciding factor for me.
1. My new Netbook NB-205/BL started intermittently shutting down for no reason (complete black screen, not even to blue screen). By the time I returned home from my trip it had stopped working altogether. The power light will come on, and the fan/hard disk will try to spin for a split second and then go silent and stop completely.
2. Upon calling tech support who walked me through a bunch of diagnostic attempts (removing and re-inserting battery, etc.), they concluded it was dead and I needed to send it in.
3. The only thing I really care about is my data as I had stored a bunch of invaluable photos and downloaded about $200 worth of Amazon MP3s since receiving the Toshiba NB205.
4. Tech support assured me they would back up the hard drive for me and ship either a fixed or new computer with all my data still intact. They asked me to register it w their warranty department and call them back so they could send me a shipping box to send it back in. I did all that and it's been >3 weeks and no box.
5. So today I called Tech Support again and the guy goes "Oh yes, you have shipped your computer in for a hard drive failure?". At which point I had to explain how A) it's not a hard drive failure B) I haven't shipped anything anywhere because I never got the box I was promised.
6. Then I proceed to ask him again if my data would be safe, to which he informs me it's Toshiba policy/practice not to back up data for customers. I found this to be unacceptable and then I didn't know who to trust so I asked for a supervisor.
7. This supervisor wasn't able to help me either as he further informed me that they will not back anything up for me AND that I had to pay for shipping AND pay an authorized Toshiba Repair Center to back my hard drive up.
8. I suggested what everyone who I've talked to has said: Toshiba could send me a new computer since they've diagnosed the old one as being dead. I could swap out the hard drives, or they could send me one without a hard drive. And I could send them back the dead NB205.
9. NO was the answer. Toshiba wouldn't do anything for me, because software issues are NOT under warranty. And backing up my hard drive is considered to be a software issue. I repeatedly told him that it's their defective hardware that is causing the need for data backup. But this went ignored and I was told they don't cover anything in this case.
I either had to lose my data or pay probably $100 for a Toshiba dealer to back up my data for me. Oh yeah, and there isn't one of those within 20 miles of me and I live in Silicon Valley!! Oh yes, and they want me to pay to ship them the dead computer.
10. I finally asked him how he would feel if he was the customer, and if he felt this was any way to treat Toshiba customers. He replied by saying they have a process, and this is the process!
Well the next time I and any of you are in our "process" of deciding which brand of technology to buy, I'm certainly not going to consider Toshiba anymore. This is the second chance I'm giving Toshiba after having a very poor laptop AND service experience in 2000. Well, it took me 9 years to give them another shot, and I'm never going to trust them again. I told myself "well, it's a high quality Japanese brand, one that commands a premium in price that people are willing to pay so it should be an excellent product. AND if things do go pooryly, Toshiba will stand behind their name."
I was SO wrong!!! Let this be a message to all people out there, as I did read these forums before buying my product, but the NB205 was so new it didn't have many posts.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! I'm done with you Toshiba, it's really too bad that you will not honor your brand with fair treatment of your customers.
Ming Wu

It isn't that difficult to back up the data from the hard drive. You can easily do it yourself for about $20. http://www.datarecoverytutorial.com/recover-data-from-failed-laptop-notebook/
As for Toshiba backing up your data, ALL of the manufacturer's have that same policy. NONE of them will backup the data for you nor will they guarantee that your system will be returned with the existing data intact. This is spelled out in the Warranty documents and is fairly common knowledge amongst most computer users.
If the data was that important you should have been backing it up to USB flash drives, a usb external hard drive, or some other backup device on a daily basis just for this very reason. The fact that you failed to do so doesn't make it Toshiba's problem.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Just look around the forum posts. Your issue is the number one problem reported by users. There are many suggestions found, some work for some users, others do not.
Some users have reported no battery problems after the upgrade. Others have improved performance after upgrading to 5.0.1 from 5.0. YMMV.
Many of the posts offer suggestions about changing various settings - there are many that affect the battery life.
Once you upgrade the iOS on a device, you cannot go back to a previous version.

My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

My z10 battery still stucked at 95% . Need help ASAP .

Hi everyone, I'm facing a very frustrated moment in my Z10, my battery do stucked at 95% when ever it's charging. I've did the method by Jsanders ( remove battery while charging ) I've did that method roundly 2hours since yesterday, only sometimes it can be charged till 100% , but when I check About> hardware .. It's showing 98% and its not same, hmmm please please please help me out feeling so sad do I need to downgrade my OS maybe? Pleas please help me. Your time is much appreciated

Vincci, there is no need to start an entire new thread on the very same issue.
Your other thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Z10/MY-Z10-BATTERY-WONT-FULLY-CHARGED-STOPPED-AT-8...
Remember what I posted in the other thread:
"Remember, those charge percentages are basically on an estimation of the software's interpretation of the charge level in the battery. That percentage is calculated from a number of items such as charge history, current power level of the battery and other things beyond me. What shows as a 90% charge could actually be 95%, or thereabouts."
The device OS will rememeber the battery ID of the battery and doing the process I outlined can and will reset the on-device battery meter. Just try it again in a day or so, and then again later.
But, the bottom line is that 95-98% is basically 100%. You're talking about battery charge estimations, not concrete amounts. This is not like filling a five gallon water bucket and only getting 4.5 gallons in.
