Lightbulb 9900 Battery fix suggestion

If you are having issues with your battery life you are not alone

I too was having the same where I had to charge the battery twice.

So I started trying every OS out there for 2 days and they were all crap, which made me think that this is just how the phone is, until someone recommended me to try OS 7.0.0.261, and there was the huge difference!

My phone easily lasts 1-5 to 2 days.

I am on day 2 now and my battery life is still 35% and I am an above average user.

261 has been the best in terms of battery life for me and has 0 errors.

I recommend you try it, and you will definitely thank me for it.

MeterBerry screenshot on day 2:




Download 7.0.0.261

Ensure you have no other OS installed on your PC from the control panel / Programs & Features

Install the above OS

Then delete the Vendor.xml file which is usually located in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader


Backup your phone first using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager

Download and install BBSAK

Run BBSAK and wipe your device

Now install the new OS using Loader.exe which is usually located in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader


After the installation is done, restore your backup by launching BlackBerry Desktop Software again

If you have any trouble, contact me and I will be more than happy to help you
