Been switching between 9900 and Z10 for a while, but tired of a small screen so I am back to z10. The more I am using z10 the more I think is flawed. Software10.1.0.2312. STL100-2
Apart from some niggles on inefficiency of the new os10 and lack of trackpad as mentioned many times, I notice that whenever I switch to 3G the phone start to drains battery faster and acessing data network more often. Battery guru shown it often uses around 1-2 watt on 3G (even on standby) and the phone gets warm easily. The battery only last for few hours and need to be recharged twice a day.
I also notice that whenever I put more data on the sd card like photos and documents, the phone start to consume more power and access more data through 3G network. Why? It is unclear.
Some apps especially the ported ones are using more power and data and access internet as default (even on background) and no option to change its permission to local only.
When the wifi on and within a range, the power consumption reduce slowly to around 0.1 watt on standby. The best battery life is when the phone set to 2G, battery guru shows the phone use 0.01 watt on standby, BUT bbm, emails and other messaging don't get updated. It defeats the purpose of being a messaging phone. Often when assessing bbm or messaging no text shown
As much as I want to see BBRY to succeed, I simply cannot recommend this flawed phone to my friends and family. The only remaining reason for me to use BBRY is the BBM.
Will A10 fare better and make me happy with BBRY again?
