Hi All
Please please help!
I have installed the OS6 (v6.0.0344) onto my blackberry 9700.
It was working wonderfully for 3 weeks and now i am facing a battery problem.
Having left it to charge overnight, it only seems to be charging to a capacity of 40%. This has been happening for over 1 week now.

I have even bought a new battery - but its had no effect whatsoever.

Can anyone advise me on what the issue might be?

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't sound like a power usage problem.....You say after being left to charge all night, the battery is only at 40%?

How are you reading it, from the battery indicator on the screen, or are you looking at the battery level on the screen at options > status?

First question would be if the battery is only getting charged to 40% really, or if the status readout is in error? What have you done to answer that question, and what did you find?

hi there
im sure its somethign related to the os6 i have instlalled.

The bar on the homescreen shows, the battery is not fully charged, and through the options menu, it tells me only 40% is charged after charging all night.

Please advise.

Thanks

you tried using a different charger? use the usb to charge phone see if it charges.

doubt the usb will make a difference.
Ive tried a different socket thought.
Ive found an interesting thread:
9700 OS6 - Who has the 35% battery sudden drop issue? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
