Some of the battery saving tips here do not only apply to blackberry PRIV but to other android devices. Whether you are about to set up a new PRIV, you have already set up your PRIV, or have been using a Blackberry PRIV for some time, today I am going so spell out factors that affect the battery of PRIV
While you are setting up PRIV for the first time, lots of activity are going on in the background they are apps getting updated, personal data being transferred from the old device to PRIV. All these trigger maximum use of the device and will make the temperature of your device warm and should not get you scared. You will also notice that the device gets warm while playing a high graphic game. Occasionally while you use the device you will experience an increase in its temperature.
Make use of the official PRIV charger, because other chargers will provide power to charge the device or thing to consider because some older chargers may not provide sufficient charge to the device. The official charger charges it fast with its 1.3a capacity
The number of accounts on your device affects battery usage. If you have multiple accounts and all synchronizes calendar and contacts which make use data thereby increases battery consumption. It is recommended to set what the account synchronizes because all the accounts are not meant to synchronize contact and calendar by default. So be mindful of what your various accounts synchronizes by default.
Review your display settings
The screen is the highest component of a phone that consumes battery. Hence reducing screen brightness and screen display timeout saves battery
Review your Keyboard sound and vibration settings
By default, the keyboard of PRIV vibrates and make a sound whenever you are typing. Turning off these options will reduce battery consumption.
This feature reduces the performance of your device and limits features of your phone such as vibration, location services, and most background data. While this option is available, the status bar of your device will be red, and you will receive a notification indicating Battery Saver is turned on.
Review your connectivity settings
If you are in an area where you can’t make use of network connection or the network connections is not available in your area, turning on Airplane mode is the best thing to do. Always turn off Bluetooth if you are not using it.
Gps is another functionality of mobile phone to consider when you need to maximize battery life. Turning off GPS and Locations services is a good.
Close any app you are not using
