Update 7.1 isn't helpful. The thing is simple. No recall, cannot replace the 1000mah battery (no room) and sorry to let you down but appears that we're stuck with chargers all around. I remember once I've been told, beware of phones that come with an additional battery or a very slim charger (

 Tried the 2G, off GPS, off WIFI, dimm the backlight, close apps, all the package. It becomes a stupid retarded phone with a bit more battery. In conclusion, never buy the "entry level" phones. They are "bleepy". The 8520 was better in battery life but it discomposed from regular usage. Waiting for the next upgrade and going for the more pricy ones (though I've heard about 9900 going brick and the 9790 is defined as a ladies phone). 

Too bad that some companies get this marketing strategies to sell cheap and profit from the services. Got to learn something from Apple. Go with one good product, full support and you can rule the world. I am so into going fanboi, but too addicted to qwerty.

My sister has a 9790 and brother a 9900.these models battery also suck! I'm nt sure hw different these batteries are but they seem the same to me maybe its just these blackberries.if a bold doesn't last a day that's the best they do in terms of the phone model.bolds are the best bb's.I will never buy another bb.waste of time

If only we had facetime I RSA.wouldn't mind an iphone.apparently big in the uk bb's phasing out

I was getting the same problem.. 

Be sure to off your location and in your

mobile network select 2G and whenever you want to use 3G you can switch..

Keep the brightness level to 10%

I wanted to upgrade this to 7.1. My bb came with 7.0 OS if you guys know about it do let me know.. or if you guys know anything related to resolve the battery do reply the msg...

It's not ok to use this phone on 2G networg or brightness at 10%. I paid some money for 9360, and I want to use it on 3G (helps me on internet and I can navigate and talk in the same time, wich can not 2g network). Because BB is considered a business phone, I want to use it at maximum capacity.

I believe that short time until now, I will return to 9700 or 9780.

I know I've complained about this last time but now I feel battery is not that bad.....when I updated it it was much better...it'll work for most of the time.....but I advise that you if u wanna change change to an Iphone

Regarding the os7.1 upgrade,its been more than 2months since I updated to 7.1.

There wasnt much difference in the battery life, only a little improvement ,lasts 2-3 hours longer.

7.1 has a battery saving option which I keep it on at everytime.

So bottom line, a little improvement in battery life.

Moreover, theres an addition of FM radio and a hotspot browser,so thats a plus!

I would say ,go for 7.1,theres nothing to lose!

Got the same problem. Ran a battery test and the file index service was running at 97%. Problem solved with lack of storage!

What do you mean with " Problem solved with lack of storage!".
Did you delete files on the SD to free space?
