Hi. I have 3(three) problems with my BB 8520. (1). The BB sometimes gets so hot that u think it will explode (2) The battery doesnt last more than 3-4hours. The BB also freezes most of the time. I took it back to the dealer but the sales people gave me a silly excuse.The BB is 5months old.

Look guys There is a simpler solution which many people I know do. They simply buy an extra battery not an extender but another battery for the BB then they buy a battery charger not the BB but only battery so when ever the BB is nearly empty all you have to do is to swap places simply take the battery to the charger and take the full battery and use it. This way you will always use the BB fully charged 24/7.

my battery is the same! try not downloading lots, screen muncher drains battery and try not playin music that much. i know a way that you can make your phone go quicker by holdin in the ‘alt’ and pres ‘lg’ twice and go to home screen press your backberry button and clear all annd then delete and juust press the end call button to exit, do that like every week

I find that when i turn my BB torch off when i charge it, it lasts me for at least 2 days and even half way into the third day, I beleive if you follow the battery saving tips this moderator mentions it WILL indeed save battery life. Most important is remembering When your talking on your Blackberry that that kills the battery extremely quick keep in mind minutes of use = minutes of drainage, also if your using your phone in warmer climates it puts a strain on the battery and not only heats up the phone but also battery i recomend if using in extreme heat to turn off phone and keep out of sun or in shady cool place when not using it, *Remember you have a voicemail for a reason for people to leave messages. Another tip could also be to leave phone off if not talking on or texting and to just turn on phone like once every hour or so.

I did a test and i found that after my phone charges completely and i dont turn it on right after i unplug the charger cable i just let it sit for 15- 30 minutes or sometimes longer when not using it it will last 3 days and still have half battery life left. I hope some of my information helps fellow Black berry users :)

My BB has had 5 new batteries in less than 2 months, it discharges within 4-6 hours, and gets so hot, you can’t keep it in your pocket, the provider said something is wrong. Duh! just don’t know what to do about it, when the phone was new, it would go 3 days without losing hardly any charge, doing nothing different now please help, am i the only one with this problem
