Wanted to know why your BlackBerry seems to have become more than your fellow ’smart phone users a different device’s battery life? How long the BlackBerry smart phones on a single charge lasts depends on many factors. Your specific device type, battery size, regardless of your Pocket PC to use 3G networks, if we adopt the Wi - Fi and / or Bluetooth, regardless of whether you are using a powerful range of coverage are just a few parts equation .
So how to ensure that you are using the battery as efficiently as possible using the BlackBerry?
The real key to maximize the battery life of your BlackBerry is to obtain what kind of features and functionality of the battery know when and why. Then, you need to reduce unnecessary wastage.
I published the predecessor of this post is almost two years ago, on this piece of my five basic battery BlackBerry user’s life skills. I recommend that you check the following tips presented prior to this initial story as a new, advanced the proposal, you will find the following figures, is to provide me with advice provided in older articles. Come on, I will not go anywhere.
Ready? Cooool.
After digestion, these early tips, you will be able to transfer well to this next generation, more advanced series of recommendations. Your BlackBerry battery without any juice just sitting there, let’s go.
1) Prepare
Scouts really with the whole “ready” things things.
To speed up your BlackBerry to maximize battery life, summed up the whole practice of such sentiments, because if you always prepare the future from a business, you are more likely to live in hell a lot of batteries to accompany your BlackBerry no matter what the task may be.
First of all, on preparations for the list: BlackBerry Travel Charger. I prefer to leave my spare time than my American Express card to my blackberry charger at home. In fact, I have a spare car charger, two in my home, work desk, the other in my computer bag and an even more next to my bed, so my equipment is always “fresh” when I wake up every morning come.
Next: backup battery. I currently have 4 battery is compatible with my Blackberry 9700 - is of course no harm, BlackBerry 9700 with a bold 9000, my last one device in the same cell. I carry two fully charged pack on my notebook computer batteries, one in my car and the other spare parts are sitting at home, office drawer, I write this article. As well as the extension of power these batteries have two packages from the smart phones, accessories manufacturers, Seidio.
I also have my desk all, this is for the sake of convenience means that BlackBerry is responsible for pods, but they have quickly become my favorite BlackBerry additional. The pod is responsible for inserting into a wall outlet or computer USB port, and then drop your device only when it needs to power a simple cradle.
All of this point: I put a spare battery, and in all places, my charger in the most need them, if my current battery runs out. And you should also. BlackBerry batteries are really not that expensive, VGP-BPS8, VGP-BPS8A, ,VGP-BPS8B, , VGP-BPS9especially if you are using an old Pocket PC - not the charger. And 20 yuan, you need to give up to the handle, it seems worth when you really need to replace the battery. I usually go to Amazon.com to my BlackBerry battery needs to be.
It is also a good habit of charging equipment, as long as possible, even if you still have more than 50% battery life left. I am more likely to charge my device at work, one using the above pod, because I have become accustomed to see on a digital clock, once my device is placed on display in the cradle. This helps me remember that the regular charge.
2) Avoid excessive competition or media consumption
BlackBerry’s latest generation of smart phones, impressive multimedia capabilities, allowing you to download, store and listen to and / or view the many types of media, different. You can listen to music on your microSD card; stream live NBA games through the popular NBA basketball game the application of the time, listen to Internet radio through different number of products of your favorite artist, or playing games, you from RIM’s BlackBerry Application Program Download the World Cup both hands.
However, each channel, one of the important activities, BlackBerry’s battery life, and you are wise to minimize the use of most, if you want to save power. This does not mean you can not brush your skills playing the 21 o’clock flight to Las Vegas card game application. Or the use of radio slacker cool song to use the cache feature, you can listen to Internet radio stations at the same time, there is no network connection.
However, you should be aware that this application, especially application software for wireless connectivity constant stream of data, it is likely to eat the battery like a hungry gamblers at the casino buffet of life. Many of these applications also require you to keep your display in your turn to use them, so the screen backlight is also run out of battery or 21-per-click Point.
You should use data-intensive applications, or battery-wise, especially if you do not carry a spare battery, or do not intend to visit in the near future charger.
3) understand and use your wireless connection to use
I mention this in my original Blackberry battery life tips stories, so I will not spend too much time. But there are two or more, I would like to add advanced proposals.
You can easily start or shut down by clicking on the “Manage Connections” icon on your BlackBerry wireless connection, and then select the options you want - Mobile Network “and” Wi - Fi’s “off”, and Bluetooth “, and” for example.
But you can also turn off all of the data connection, but also left a voice-active function. To do this, open the “Manage Connections” option, click on “Service status” item, and then click on your BlackBerry menu key, which is located directly to the left of your trackball / touchpad. Next, select the mobile network from the menu option, and then in the following screen, disable data services.
Note: Turn off your data services, will save battery life, but will disable your device’s core function is to - anyone who needs Internet connection - so beware. The only core functionality, data services will work with people with disabilities to voice calls and SMS. (I also think that during the holidays or off this trick useful, when I still want to call, but do not want to check my e-mail.)
When you want to backup your data, simply reverse the process described above, the data services. Choose to return.
If you are using 3G, GSM devices, like the way blackberry bold, you can shut down your battery faster 3G-intensive 2.5G, or EDGE, to connect the connection. Just click the connection icon in your management again, playing mobile network options, scroll down to the network model. In the network mode menu, select “second generation.” But remember, you will not be able to access their 3G network, until you restart the network model.
4) Close unused applications - even if you and the early resumption of
Again, I gave my first Blackberry at this point the battery life tips post, but I take further here.
Many applications use the respect of RIM’s BlackBerry “push” technology, can bring news, notification and warning equipment, the corresponding service, receive them almost immediately. This is all fine and good - apart from the need to trade battery life initiatives and receive new data. Application, the more you open the use of certain types of auto-update process, the more the battery life of the application procedure, to eat.
Thus, while the relevant skills I first just want to turn off all the “power of high energy-consuming” applications, they do not use, today, I suggest that you close all applications, when you do not employ them. You will not receive updates or notifications, but you can always re-open a specific application if you want to check it.
This is the same as IM applications, such as BeeJive or IM +, which makes many BlackBerry users to run continuously. If you are a heavy IM users, this tip may not play for you. But if you, like me, rarely used, except through the BlackBerry instant quick chat, you would be better to leave your IM program disabled until you need them.
A quick way to determine which applications are running at a particular time open, hold down the Escape key to your BlackBerry BlackBerry Application Switcher Ribbon - directly to your right trackball / touchpad a few seconds -. The core of BlackBerry, browser, mail, BlackBerry Messenger, and the mainVGP-BPS9/B, VGP-BPS9/S ,VGP-BPS9A, VGP-BPS9A/B icons on the screen can not be closed, but any other show in your application, switch off through the application menu.
5) The standby mode is your friend
You can quickly and easily to many BlackBerry devices into the “standby mode” in order to save battery life when not in use, among other things. Standby mode is different from the blackberry screen / keyboard lock, because it not only to freeze your device’s keyboard, and disable your monitor, saving electricity.
You to activate the standby mode in different ways, depending on your BlackBerry device, but some new equipment can enter standby mode simply made the mute button on the upper right corner, or device.
For example, I put my Blackberry 9700 bold Every time I go into standby to my pocket mute button at the upper right corner of the device. (Check your user manual or search Google, if you are not sure how to activate your phone’s standby specific. Note: As far as I know, the storm 2 no standby mode.)
You need to push the mute button again - or re-enter any key combination to activate the standby - turn it off. Therefore, if you find your device, but will not start button, to ensure that their will not standby.
6) Disable the camera’s flash
If you hire your BlackBerry universal digital camera, but to extend battery life, you can turn off or adjust the camera’s flash. The use of flash once or twice, may not have too little impact on battery life. However, repeated use, is bound to pay.
To modify your camera’s flash settings, open the camera icon, click on your main screen of the BlackBerry BlackBerry camera applications. When the camera viewfinder is opened, click on your BlackBerry menu key, hit options, change the default flash is set to “no”
Click on your Escape key to exit out of the Options menu, save your changes, and your memory will be closed the next time you open the camera. To open it, just reverse the process.
7) Add e-mail accounts insoluble
Each e-mail or group messaging to your BlackBerry inbox time, you reduce the overall device battery life. Therefore, in order to maximize battery life BlackBerry, you should only connect to “related” e-mail accounts to your smartphone.
For example, if you have your Microsoft Outlook, two Gmail accounts, a Windows Live Mail and Yahoo! E-mail with your BlackBerry device to provide a simple electronics, you are using your battery life a large number of e-mail - assuming you have received an e-mail to these accounts.
You may need your Outlook e-mail, VGP-BPS10,,VGP-BPS10A,VGP-BPS10A/Bespecially if your BlackBerry is work release. However, you really need a Gmail inbox, which can be connected to your smart phone? You can even receive e-mail, the ancient Windows Live Hotmail account?
This is a good practice, just connect to your most frequently used e-mail to your BlackBerry device, because it reduces the number of mailboxes will not only increase your overall battery life, but also clutter the main BlackBerry e-mail folders.
