just trying la...this October using bbx maybe...

9900 i have a problem with many thing be4 decide to sell..

9790 so far so good..battery life maybe but now using new os, so far so good

Media server feature was already available in .402, if I remember correctly. As for device analyzer, please goto options-device-advanced then type BBDA, the device analyzer app will appear.

Sorry, I meant type 'alt+BBDA' under options-device-advanced.

haha thanks!

sifus.. any tips to help with the extreme power sucking battery life of this so called bellagio bold 5?
my phone is only 20days old,but im starting to regret it and considering another phone. bcos i hardly use fb/twitter/bbm and so on,but i need to fully charge the phone around 3-4times daily.

anyone with good tips pls do help out, thanks.

I am a reasonably heavy push mail user (3 accounts) with some light activity on fb/twitter/gtalk/msn/whatsapp and my 9790 can last me the whole day (7am to 11pm) with 3g enabled and about 15mins of calls and 5-10 smses per day. What is your phone's os version and do share your actual daily usage pattern?

update the OS~~

this.. still haunted me as my battery can only stand 6 hours on 3G and 12 hours on 2G.. is it because mine is 1st batch??

wow. seriously bro? i thought bold 5 battery more power than bold 4.
me using bold 4, stock OS. moderate email, fb, broswing, bbm, call and texting, with 3G can last around 30hrs.

if your phone is signal hunting all the time, (you can install an app that monitors your signal strength, if it jumps or roams, or hangs on to one, etc)

my friend's 9790 was compounded by Maxis' signal in Terrengganu. Once he switched the signal to manual, since it only locks on that 1 preferred signal, it was much better (although when he moved to another location it was even better)


makes sense why RIM bought a RF-Tuning company for 100M the other day.

ok about my usage,so i have 3email accounts which email comes in daily altogether around 10-40 emails per day,light use of fb,a couple or several tweets (or sometimes a lot),minor use of bbm,and usually a couple to several call/sms per day.
i even put vibrate when there's calls/sms coming in. other notifications,i only put the ringer/sound and no vibrate (to save battery usage).
all in all,i still need to charge the phone at least/minimum of 3times..max is 5/6times.

oh btw,im using stock OS which is 7.0 Bundle 2356 (v7.0.0.557, Platform 9.16.0.67)

please please help me find a way,thank you all!

Update your OS. I am running 7.1 Bundle 1648 (v7.1.0.523), with battery saving mode always enabled (new feature in 7.1).

My usage is not very different than yours, I don't BBM (no BB friends) but I whatsapp quite a bit and perhaps I receive a bit more email than you do, per day. My phone is almost always set to the loudest ringtone/notification setting with vibrate enabled. I only set to vibrate only when in the cinema or in a meeting.

my usage? as usual just 2 email accounts, average 5emails per hour, heavy bbm,whatsapp(group) but using 1 single tone without vibrate.

100% cant even reach 6hours. 830am took off and by 1pm already 5%

now 3days on 7.1.0.523 telkomsel.

tried to switch to different batt,still the same result.

Waaah, heavy chatter ah? You getting less than 6 hour batt life with 3G or 2G?

3g of course...hard to maintain edge on my area here...always getting gprs which is super slow.

now im carrying power bank anywhere

ok so how to update it to 7.1? is it official by blackberry? bcos when i connect my bb to pc,the bb desktop manager doesnt tell me got any updates or so. oh btw,i should do back up first,then update,correct?
sorry,even after almost two years using blackberrys,am still a noob hahaha

Good luck!

i also having same battery life like alieamin.. on 3G can last 6 hours only.. on 2G around 13~14 hours.. and i'm carrying powerbank with me also.. but some user claim their 3G can last 20 hour++

I have a powerbank also, just in case. But usually my 9790 has enough juice to keep me connected and online from 7+ am to 11pm on 3G - I only use 2G when I am outside for longer than an hour (e.g meeting a customer or out hiking). I am guessing our usages are very different.
