Hi there, new new member here
I noticed this (or a similar) problem last night, and didn't want to start a new thread, which I have found out is the proper etiquette here - thanks Moderator - (I belong to another online community where both necro-posting and starting new threads are both frowned up --- very confusing!)
Anyway, enough blab from me - here's my issue that I'm hoping the BB community can help with (I'll give as much info as I can in this post)...
I've had my BB Curve 9320 for just one week, upgraded from my 9300, I think
- yesterday I finally got round to transferring everything from the BB software from my old phone over to the new. Before this time, everything on my new phone was working purrfectly - good enough battery life, though not great - all in all, very user-friendly, as you'd expect from a BB *sucking up*
Anyway, after doing all I needed (or knew how) to do, I left the BB plugged in to recharge fully. This took absolutely ages - I'm talking a couple of hours at least, which I hadn't expected at all!
Then, last night, I set my alarm for a 5am start (yeah, I know, who knew there were five o clock's in the day?) - the alarm went off okay, no problems, woke me, but I hit snooze *guilty as charged y'honour* but woke fully at 6.20 - my BB dead as the proverbial dodo!
Still, not to be too flummoxed (I think I'm better with technology than I actually am lol, but I know my limitations!) - I took the phone and plug-in electric charger down the stairs, and while I was fixing a pot of coffee, plugged it in and waited for it to charge...
And waited.
And after that? I waited some more...
Eventually, three hours later, or there about - my phone was once again, fully charged and I checked out a couple of emails on it, sent another and made a phone call (lasting no more than 5 minutes). Put it down and left it while I pottered about doing what I had to do and...two hours later - battery empty
So, going through all the 'extras' I have on my phone - apps, games, etc - in order of those on my phone before the backup of stuff from my old phone...
BB Protect
Caller LED Free
One Touch Flashlight Free
Bubble Birds *ahem*
Droplets Free
Slide It Free
Ringtone Creator
Font Control
Things that appeared after old phone backup
Dictation Blue Free
Kobo
FancyTran
DropBox
DriveSafe.ly
Shazam
One Touch Flashlight V2N
You Tube *this may have been on the new phone before backup stuff was put on
I also have the 'usual' social media guff, that I don't use - Twitter, Facebook, and 'Social Media' (which I've not clicked on because...well, just because).
I also have a 4GB media card (is that the correct name for it?) - on which I store near enough 4 gig of music, which was used before yesterday with no ill-effects on the old trombone!!
Anyway, I'm hoping the boffins here (for there are bound to be some boffins, they're all over the net, helping out people like me all the time!!) - will be able to help - I don't want to have to go through the absolute pain in the rear of sending my phone back and getting a new one - if I've done something wrong, then I'm only going to do it again when if I get a new phone. Similarly if I'm advised to do a phone wipe >correct term?< I need to know if I should or shouldn't be doing something special (or different).
Thanks in advance for all the excellent, helpful responses that are going to come flooding in *bows*
