Having complaints about the Z10's battery life? BlackBerry can't do anything about it

This speaks poorly oh their testing processes. How did they not see it coming ?

19. boosook posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:32 10

they could do like others do (Nokia for example...): promise better battery life in the next update and then release an update that changes nothing...

excuse me, i do have a lumia 920 and the pr1.1 update did improve its battery performance.i didn't have lumia 800 but many reports that indeed its first update improved its battery performance.and all nokias i had can manage a day with a single charge(although its not the best but its average so its sufficiently good) .all u want is obviously some trolling and fanboy wars.what brought nokia to the subject in the first place??!
btw lumia 920(as an example for a nokia) has a good to average battery life even b4 pr1.1, just check its gsmarena battery test(which was b4 pr1.1, ) and u will know what i mean.
if u don't know about something ,don't comment about it

my lumia 920 before portico had good battery life, after portico still good life. i can go a whole day of using it at work and get through the day without charging it. my galaxy s3 on the other hand doing the same thing needs to be charged one time during the day. not to 100% but it does need some kind of charge to make it to the night.

Oh please S3 and IPHONE 5 does not have excelllent battery life! My friends keeps telling me how his S3 dies in the middle of the day and he has to charge it 2 times a day

Battery life on the Galaxy S3 is very good that's for sure. Your friend has something else wrong with his devices that's application related or network related.

I get 2 days and sometimes 3 days on standby before the JB update. After the JB update I get 2 days.

Looks like we have different facts....

I can just barely squeeze through a day on my Galaxy S3, but then again I am a fairly heavy user. My sister has the same one, and only charges hers about every 3 days because she barely uses it.

The iPhone 5 has some of the most impressive battery life around when it's screen is on, and It can surf the web a hell of a lot longer than any AMOLED device can. Many sites have backed that up with evidence. The S3 is also one of the best Android handsets out there for battery life.

One friend who has a problem he knows nothing about does not constittute proof. Maybe you should send him over ot the XDA forums to ask about improving his battery life.

we must have sympathy toward them ;)

22. Xtasy posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:35 3

Nothing to rage about cuz this article sounds like a huge pile of s**t ;)

56. slaggyb posted on 07 Feb 2013, 16:30 0

Indeed a huge pile of crap....outright bb bashers. Am so done with iphonearena, Engadget ahem theverge you all the same bunch of so called techies drowning in apple and samsung juices....folks interested in the Z10 please grab a cup of coffee and take time to read the link below ....this is coming from a strictly iphone only site...http://www.todaysiphone.com/2013/02/blackbe​rry-z10-vs-iphone-5-hardware-comparison/

Agreed. And third party batteries will come soon with large capacities.

20. Mittal posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:33 1

Add that cost to the device's cost and it will stop making sense
They should have given a decent battery by default that would last a full day with good 3G use. Above that if someone wants they can buy another battery

29. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:47 2

some how i dont think it would be a problem if the iphones battery "wasnt enough" and apple forced them to buy another one........even though the iphone is sky high in price from the start, some how i dont think apple fans would mind buyin another

49. Mittal posted on 07 Feb 2013, 12:25 1

totally agree
few ppl will fret over additional costs that may have been associated with the iPhone

my Gnex barely lasts a day on 3G. hence why i have brought a battery with double capacity. there probaly isnt a double capacity battery for the Z10 yet but give a few months and there should be. Youve just gotta be patient

BB10 sucks.
If BB using Android this won't happened. BB would be big.
but now.... BB is dead.

23. Xtasy posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:38 1

This article is a fail! Just like iphone 5 and S3 is a fail on battery life haha loser!

27. troutsy posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:44 5

The battery development is way behind because the rockets that propel the mining crews to Pandora to mine Unobtainium are falling short.

Too bad. They should've colonized the blue people...
RIM would've been known as blueberry by now.

not possible without increasing the price a lot. while new battery technology IS on the horizon, its not cost effective for mass market

25. Xtasy posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:41 1

I can say the same for S3

59. Rayvelynn posted on 07 Feb 2013, 19:39 0

Exactly what good is the phone if you are constantly losing power, lol

34. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 07 Feb 2013, 07:55 2

or maybe Heins was a bit caught in the moment of this fast paced game and wasnt able to properly "analyze" the battery situation.......Hence the reason why they made it REMOVABLE?

40. Xtasy posted on 07 Feb 2013, 08:35 1

Your an idot and sound stupid...This is first gen of BB 10
