Tips And Tricks To Extend Your Blackberry Battery Life

Looking to maximize your BlackBerry battery life

? Weve got TEN simple tricks you can use that will help to ensure you are getting the most out of your much needed battery power. While BlackBerry Smartphones have historically been known for their awesome battery life, weve seen the natural battery life take a hit on some of the new BlackBerry 7 Smartphones to hit the market. For example, on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 the battery was reduced from the predecessor Bold 9700 from a 1500mAh battery to 1230mAh. With less juice to work with and a bigger display and faster processor to power, if youre a power user you *could* be finding that your old habits put you into the low or dead battery zone before the day is done. So if youre finding yourself low on power sooner than youd like to see and are looking to extend the battery life on your BlackBerry Bold 9900, Bold 9930 or other OS 7 device, there are plenty of settings you can tweak and battery-healthy habits you can form to get the job done. From dimming the backlight to tweaking up some network settings, a little bit goes a long way. These tips work for improving battery life on OS 6 and lower devices as well (although menus may be a bit different) so if youre looking to get the most our of your BlackBerry battery, keep reading for our top ten tricks to improve battery life on your BlackBerry Smartphone

1. Use Wifi when available Turn Off Wifi when not in use

Wifi seems to be the biggest influencer of battery life on newer devices like the Bold 9900/9930. In all of our tests and real world outings, having Wifi on and connected to a Wifi network was amazing for battery life. Using the Wifi network for data instead of the carrier network makes a HUGE difference in battery life (the radios dont have to work as hard). The Bold 9900 can get a full work day of use and still sit at around 80% battery life come quitting time all thanks to Wifi. However when you know you wont be using Wifi if youre out for the day or somewhere where there is no Wifi connection, you can simply turn it off to keep it from eating away at your battery. This keeps the device from searching for networks and draining the battery. Long story short if you have a Wifi network available use it. If you dont turn it off. To Disable Wifi .Click on the Network Settings area on your home screen .Uncheck Wi-Fi (to enable Wifi repeat the process but check the box)

2. Dim the Backlight

When you fire up a new device, more often than not the backlight brightness is set at 70%. This is all well and good to start as you can see the screen clearly and everything looks great. Your natural tendency to want to see things as bright as possible may have you cranking it up to 100%, however this can more quickly drain your battery as the extra juice needed to keep the screen fully lit up eats away at battery life. Turning the brightness down (even just a bit) can help immensely to extend your battery. Personally I always drop my screen brightness to 10% and have never had an issue. It may seem a bit dark at first for some, but trust me, once you adjust to it youll never know the difference and your battery will thank you. To change your backlight brightness: . Go to Options > Display > Screen Display . Scroll to Backlight Brightness and change to 10

3. Change Your Backlight Timeout

Having the backlight timeout set to a low value keeps your screen from staying on unnecessarily when youre done doing whatever youre doing. In most cases there is no need to have the screen stay on for 2 minutes or even 1 minute after youre done using the device. I think that sticking to 20 or even leavng it at the default 30 seconds works just fine, though if youre really in need of more precious seconds of battery life you can put it all the way down to a 10 second timeout. Having a short timeout on your backlight keeps the screen from staying on too long and eating up your battery. To adjust the Backlight Timeout: .Go to Options > Display > Screen Display .Scroll to Backlight Timeout and change to 20 Sec.
