What does "standby time" mean?
 

What exactly is "standby time"?

Is it the time your battery will keep its charge if the BB is turned off entirely?

Or is it the time it will keep a charge if the BB is "on" but not being used?

Or what?

Thanks

What is Stand-by Time?

The problem with smartphones is that many are constantly using data, especially a BB which is receiving email every 15 minutes or less, or updating location or whatever. That being the case, it is never in a state of not being used. Plus many devices search for a better signal as you move, using some power.

To be totally in standby and to get close to the advertised standby times, it really should be turned off.
