Own a 9900...

first 2 days, battery life is as bad as reported, draining 10% every hour..... off charger at 630am..... totally flat out by 12pm.....

went back to the shop and they change a new battery for .... still not satisfied and tempted to give the os7.1 a go...

using LEAKED OS7.1.0.205... from OS installation thread

download and install....

1st day>> same time out from charger as charge overnight..... 12pm 40% left... charge it at 1pm.. unplugged at 230pm... fully charged and it seems battery draining is less.......
2nd day.. is today ...unplugged at 630am.. now 1120am... battery still at 89%... it seemss huge improvement to me..

my usual setting and usage... backlight to min, 2g only, 3 email, lots of bbm, some sms and a few calls a day....

one thing my friend tells me is that ... try pressing alt lg lg.... and clear the log..... did this a couple of times when i am free and it stops the battery draining during first day..... 2nd day only clear once till now and battery seems lasting.. for me at least....
give it a try .....

Hi just press alt then lg lg on the qwerty board

Upgraded to 7.1.0.205.  Batt life is so much better. Standby time has increased and not a heavy user the batt life according to meter berry has lasted so far 1 day 2 hrs from last power up and currently 39% batt.  Avg discharge is 2.3%/hr. On 3G/2G & wifi.

I suggest u follow the alternative method step 1. That is the easiest to understand.

i have recently lost my bb pouch......... any accessories should i be looking for? that will protect my bb instead of that pouch that could cost up to myr200???
i saw "iDefense" in another thread..... but i am not sure how it looks like or feels like, as i dont wanna have those hard plastic ones, I am thinking of silicone type..... any recommendations???

maybe cause it is original BB pouch?
btw, i dont need those..... i need cheap ones that can protect  my bb..... thats all....
any recommendation and usually how much will it cost?

Hey guys, I've flashed my bold 9900 to the .205 firmware but somehow, I'm not enjoying the battery life like what every1 says. My usage is mainly on fb, whatapps, twitter abit here and there, bbm also here and there, but my BIS is on for the whole day.. I plugged out from charging from 7.30.. Heavily use for an hour when travelling to work and heavily using it at lunch. And after lunch, I left bout 60-65%.. Is it consider good or wat? I still have to charge it anyway cos after work I'll be using it heavily for another hour plus so I'm scared I will run it dry before I reach home.

Planning to change my Bold 9790 to Bold 9900 . Any opinion here.

Hi guys i'm really keen to get the 9900. I am using the 9780 now and the best thing about it is the battery sun global which will last me for more than a day. I always use battery saver pro and dim the display to the lowest. i also switch to 2G most of the time. Telephony i use quite often with a BT headset. No games no browsing so far. Do you guys think that the 9900 will last me for a day ?

Which network mode r u all running?

2g only
3g/2g
3g only

I am wondering if 3g only will suck lesser battery as compared to 3g/2g mode.

Hi, i am noob for bb. Just bought 9900 yesterday n problem is i cant connect to the wifi internet. My celcom 3g is ok though. Is it true that if u do not subscribe to bbm service u cannot connect to wifi internet. Any solutions?
