i got the curve 9320 2 months ago, the first phone was over heating and the battery only lasted 4 hours maximum, so vodafone replaced it, then the second one is now doing excatly the same thing, nothing is switched on, on the phone that would cause the battery to do this, fully charged this morning, not one call or text and the phone is red hot and dead 4 hours later, could this be a manufactoring fault?
I've had my BB Curve for about a year and a half now. Last night, I went to charge my BB after the battery had drained to find on the screen a drained battery icon with a red cross/line through it. I had reloaded the set up on my phone and it still does not work and it seems that the white loading bar under the icon still loads after it has appeared and stops at around 75%.Will a new battery fix this?As I have said, I have reloaded and wiped everything on my phone and I have also tried the 'take out the battery while it's charged, put it back in method', nothing happened.
my blackberry 9300 used to last me 2 days with low usage and 1 day with heavy usage. that's the way it has been for about a year and a half and i would always charge it all night anyway regardless of how much i use it. about a month ago, i was watching a video on Internet using the 3g network and suddenly it beeped and said "battery drained, shutting down handheld." there was no battery low warnings or anything, the battery said it was half full at the point. i didn't think much of it, i did a battery pull to get it to turn on again and it was fine for the rest of the day.it kept doing the same thing though, everytime i would watch videos or listen to any type of music. i would literally take it off the charger after a full night of charging and then watch a video on the wifi, 2 minutes into the video or after only one song it would tell my the battery is drained and shuts the phone down even though i apparantly have full battery. the only way to get it to turn on again is if i did a battery pull.well then i thought, ok then, so it only does this with videos and music. it never used, but it does now. but as time progressed, even when i didn't touch vidoes or music and am doing normal non-battery taxing things like texting and phoning people it would do the same. many times i've been in the middle of a call and it would turn off and leave me stranded.sometimes when i reset it, it goes back to normal and it stays on for a while after and sometimes it just turns straight back off again.
My bb curve 8520 is about a year old. 3 days ago i noticed the battery went from 100% to 0% in a span of some minutes. i recharged the battery and noticed it kept doing the same thing. I then replaced the battery thinking it had run its course but the problem persists. I have no open programs running and no new applications installed that might be using up the battery. the phone gets warm and the battery dies rapidly.
I got this phone 10 days ago and getting used to it. The battery charge was ok for the first couple of cycle (every alternate day) and in the last 2 cycle the battery gets charged and drains within a few hours being in standby mode. During this period the phone is quite hot.
Its been just 2 weeks since i purchased curve 9380 and suddenly after using it for 1-2 hrs the battery gets heated up to 40 degrees..is there a problem with battery or this happens with every BB mobile?
am using 9360 curve. My cellfone battery was drained and i was out and couldn't able to charge it. at night when i tried recharging it .. i was not able to do that.... no red light... ... i m charging through USB only.. wat to do
only had the phone a few days but the above message has appeared twice and then the phone just shuts down.Now if the battery indicator was really low when this happen then no problems but the two times it has happened the battery indicator has been showing on or just below 50%!That's a huge drain on the battery, 50% to zero.I have ordered a new battery to see if this makes any diference but am concerned that if you are out and about a battery can die that quick!I do have a few things switched on that run in the background, social media, BBM, WiFi etc which I know causes the battery to run out quicker but I would not expect a big spike and total battery drain?This happened when using facebook on one occasion while out an about and the first time using sky sports soccer centre app connected to my wifi.These are the only times since having the phone that the battery has been on or just below 50%. I do not think it is App related. The battery usually runs down at a steady rate from full charge and at a rate which I would consider to be normal.Furthermore the battery is totally flat after the drain, the device cant be turned back on again even after removing the battery and when plugged into the mains the battery indicator is red and showing zero charge?I would like to understand if this could be associated with a hardware fault or more than likely just a faulty battery?I have not owned the phone from new but purchased it as a refurbished unit last week with new screen and casing. Everything seems to work fine on it
A few days later I noticed the battery was going from 100% to 0% in a few hours only, so I went in the first week to change the battery and did that and it used to work well until a few days ago where the battery goes from 100% to 0% in less than an hour. I do use the browser and twitter alot, but still I think the battery should stay more than that.
i have a curve 3g and recently it has come up with the message ''Battery drained, shutting down handlheld''.
this has only recently started happening. i checked the usage and i dont think it is anything to do with any applications, is it just a chance that the battery is worn, iv had it for about 18 months now.
I have a curve 9300, when I was using it, a message popped up saying that the battery was drained and it was shutting down. It was fully charged at the time and I haven't been able to turn it back on. I've tried taking the battery out many times and I've left it on charge all night.
i recently bought a curve 9360 about 5months ago. recently my battery drained and the phone shut down, when i plugged the charger in the red led stays on for about 10-20 secs then goes off. is my phone still charging but just wont turn on? or could there be a problem with my phone as my charger works in other phones
My BB has started giving issues since a few days. Whenever the phone is in standy, the battery is completely drained off. There are no additional apps running. I don't overcharge the battery either. There has been no change since it was working perfectly well. I also bought a new battery but the same issue.
My bb curve 8530 keeps rebooting until the battery is completly drained. I have already wiped it 3 times Ive only had it for a month. I also put a 16gb mem card and that didnt help.
Yesterday (18-05-2012) my battery drained and I had no chance of charging it back up, till today (19-05-2012). I got home and thought that maybe my charger had packed up, but then tried my brothers blackberry charger - its been on charge for about 3 hours and still hasn't worked.
I recently got a blackberry 9320 about a month ago and my battery tends to heat up after a couple of minutes of using it, I don't know what the problem could be...My brother had the same problem with his BB 8520 but only after a year, it later stopped working. 2 weeks after getting my phone I used his 8520 charger because it was much longer then iy charger, then my battery started heating up I don't know if it is charger but I stopped using it and it still heats up.
I have had this fone since june and have constantly had probs with the battery life. Its now saying battery is too low for radio use even when there is half a white bar. Keeps cutting out during calls. I've constantly got to do a battery pull!
Last night my 8900 turned off at its scheduled time and I went to bed. I woke up this morning a little ahead of my alarm clock and waited for the alarm on my phone. Nothing happened. I picked up the phone and there was nothing. I plugged it in and found the battery drained all the way. This has not happened before but I also need to note that I did have trouble yesterday which I seemed to have resolved. I cant post links yet but the email folders disappeared and I did a wipe and restored from the last known good backup. What is going on with this crazy phone ?
Just got a 9320 3g and it sucks the battery life is pathetic and it continually heats up even when not in use. I have searched everywhere and there seems to be no solution, also there are 100's of users reporting the same issues but blackberry seems to dodge the subject and offer pre designed answers. Surely you can admit if there is a manufacturing issue and offer a proper solution instead of dodging the issue. Deeply dissapointed with this phone, and yes its on the latest os all apps are closed etc etc etc. stop tellling us this resolves the issue AND OWN UP TO THIS **bleep** YOU PRODUCED. Looking forward to a resolution else its off to every website i can find to log complaints and the istore
Need Help/Suggestion from Mobile Gurus right here .I have 1 Year Old N73 ME and I mainly use it for Calling and Texting. Very Occasionally I use it for Music/Gaming and Browsing the Web.The phone is completely in excellent condition
The problem is that: While charging ONLY the Battery gets too much HOT and it never shows Battery is Full (Charged it for Max 1 Hour 45 Minutes) This problem suddenly appeared, so I formatted the Memory Card as well as Hard Format/Reset the Phone, but still the Battery is heating too much
After disconnecting the Phone from Charger, the Battery is FULL and I can use it without any problem and as usual. The Talktime right now is around 2.5 Hours and Standby time is around 2-3 Days
have had this problem for a while now it started a few months back and never got it fixed but its so annoying. i charge my phone everynight and only take it off when im about to leave, its fine and my blackberry works until it gets too two bars and a half and then shuts down saying battery drained shutting down handheld. ive tried buying another battery but its doing the same thing as before it didnt even work for a little bit so is it possible that its a fault with my blackberry or maybe my charger
My iPhone 4 has recently started heating up and draining the battery very quickly, I updated to 5.1.1 when it became available but I can't say that is the definite cause for this problem as it started occurring about 1 week after updating.
I have searched the web/these boards and tried countless things but nothing seems to be working. Basically if I do anything on the phone it will immediately start to heat up and drain the battery. I have recently had the screen replaced, not by apple themselves but by a certified specialist that uses apple equipment, could this be part to blame?
I have tried a 2/3 full restores, resetting network, resetting settings. I did notice that when iCloud was disabled it didn't seem to drain the battery as quick but personally I don't want to settle for having to run my phone with half the functions turned off!
One last thing I am going to try is something I read on cnet which was to do a backup onto my computer (I have been doing all the resets via wireless/cloud at the moment) and then reset the setting, run the battery right down and then full restore the battery to 100%.
i have used this hand set for two days and its chager does not work and if charged by USB cable, it get heated up than its touch screen stop responding and it hangs alot after every incoming call it get hanged... no response, utill reboot.its battery back up is very low only 5 hr of standby...
I am using Xperia Ray and today I forgot to charge so it got shut down when it drained to 0%. I plug it into the usb charge but nothing happen, it won't boot....even the charging icon not showing on the screen. The LED notification is also red.
My Xperia ray phone suddenly not charging fully and phone gets drained within 3hours not even doing anythingI have bought a new battery 2 days back , reset the phone to factory setting. Used all the battery boosting softwares. Charged the phone during switched off. So the problem is clearly a hardware issue. I bought the phone in April 2012 from Amazon UK . I want to know am i coverd under warrenty or not. How to fix this issue. I love this phone so i dont to lose it or buy a new one.
I've had the 3D for a few weeks now and overall think it's a great smartphone. I was expecting poor battery life but on two occasions it went from fully charged to brick dead overnight (6-7 hours). Most apps, bluetooth and GPS off. I haven't experienced such quick drain during the day when I'm using it. I have also noticed an excessive amount of heat while charging.
Yesterday I monitor the Xperia ray mobile to check the battery drainage problem again, at 5.30 PM the battery reached 72% battery level gets low and pop ups the power save mode. And then I put it into Charge in half an hour the battery gets fully charged. I don't understand how it possible. I am really fed up with this newly installed Android OS 4.0 ICS. I want to know when will be available the next update.
