Looks like hausofbib has another 3rd party battery model for the 9900/9790 - I wonder if this one needs recloning at every reboot/battpull like the sunglobal batt..

You can set the option to keep your messages forever. Should RTFM a bit more..

1. Open your inbox, press the menu button, scroll down to 'Options' and select it.
2. Go to 'Message Display and Actions', then scroll down to see 'Days to Keep Messages'.
3. Choose 'Forever'.

Have you tried pulling out your battery and putting it back in again to force a shutdown/reboot on the phone? Do you have a micro-SD card inside your phone? Maybe try removing that card first (could be corrupted).

Yay.. thanks for sharing the info

As soon as I have time to spare. Today or tomorrow, I think.

No time yet, busy week ahead for me. Perhaps I will check the feedback in the crackberry forum before I decide.

Updated to 7.1.0.402, not noticing anything different from .336 yet.

Less than 24 hours with the new firmware, maybe I need more time to notice improvements..

User feedback on crackberry forum seems to indicate better battery life - http://goo.gl/k1RRe

If your only concern is battery life, you can always consider a spare battery and a batt charger. Carry the fully charged spare as a standby with you. Charge both phone and spare batt at night and you won't have to worry about battery drain during the day.

In my experience, os7.1 is consistently better on battery life compared to os7.0.

Anyway, the basic principle is 'no money no honey'

Btw, I have a paid app named quicklauncher that reboots my phone daily (at 6am) to ensure that I have a 'fresh' phone before I leave home, ie no apps active in the background to drain battery and cause heating issues..

Can you tell me what apps you have on your phone? I notice my phone warming up if I do one of these 2 things:

1. Leave foursquare open and searching for venues to check in
2. Leave one or more browser tabs open instead of holding back button to close tabs and exit the web browser

For OS7.1 there is one official release for the 9790. It's build .336 I think.

Not that I know of. I am not a heavy app user, but so far push mail, FB, Twitter, Whatsapp and Google Talk all seem to work fine for me. Mobile AP (wireless tethering), wifi and BT also work ok.

With batt saving mode enabled all the time, my phone has 60% now at 5:30pm, from 100% at 8am this morning. 40% drained in about 9+ hours, not too bad. My phone should easily cover me till I get home at 10pm.

Phone always panas usually means app active/busy in the background. You have to isolate and troubleshoot, I guess. Or maybe consider a fresh OS reload if battery pulls don't help.

I'm not a good teacher, not a BB expert myself. Some things I would try:

1. Change back to the ori battery and see if the problem is due to the sun global battery or not.
2. Remove/Uninstall unnecessary apps, one by one to every day to check if the issue is due to a particular app or not.
3. Try flashing a newer firmware, this may help.
4. Last resort, wipe the BB and install only required apps and necessary settings.

The latest official OS7.1 for the 9790 that I know of is for Telenor Norway.

Not sure about sunglobal, you may need to check with them. I am using latest leaked OS 7.1.0.402 with ori battery.
