Blackberry Bold fast battery drain

[ccsorenson]

My bold has suddenly started devouring the battery in less than 6 hours.

My wifi & BT are off, and I have not added or changed any apps.

I just did the roaming update on it.

Anyone else have this issue also?

Also, how do I know if I have the current software update, and how do I update it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Welcome to the forums.  I too have a Bold but I am not having the battery issue...yet.  You can look on your device at Options>About and see what version you have...it is the third line down.  Mine is the latest from Verizon which is v.5.0.0.732. 

Hope this helps.

Doc

I have started to have the same issue in the last week.  My battery gets very hot as well, which I assume is a related issue.
