10 Tips To Enhance The Battery Life Of Your Blackberry by ozoneprince(m): 10:20am On Dec 28, 2013
[center][center]Here are 10 Tips To Enhance the Battery Life of your BlackBerry,optimise and prolong battery life for your handset. Especially for the new OS7 BlackBerry 9900 which has just been released.
In the history of the BlackBerry, previous Bolds were considered to have the best battery life. In comparison the Bold 9900 has a very low battery life. For example: the BlackBerry Bold 9900 battery capacity has dropped from the Bold 9700’s 1500mAh to 1230mAh. With a larger display, touch screen and faster processor, this will result in quicker battery consumption.
So extending the battery life on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 or the series running OS7 is quite important. This can be achieved from dimming the backlight to tweaking some network settings.

• Scroll to Backlight Brightness and change it to 40 or lower.
