Blackberry battery dying after unlocking network

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move!

    Yesterday I unlocked my Blackberry from the vodafone network, and straight away the battery life deteriorated. It had a full battery last night at 11.30 but when I woke at 6 this morning it had died completely. Again, charged it fully this morning, left for college at 8.30 with a full battery and by 12 it was dead again.

    Anyone know any reasons why this might be happening? I don't know if unlocking it has anything to do with the problem but thought I should include this detail in case. Thanks!

    Did you move to three? And specifically what model blackberry do you have?

    Take the battery out for a couple of minutes and pop it back in then charge it up and see if it stops acting up. Post back if you've still got issues after that

    Tried that, still dying really quickly. I've WiFi turned off and no apps running so shouldn't be dying this quick!

    It's not caused by the unlocking. Have you installed any new apps recently? The only other thing would be that if the network signal was weaker then your previous network then your phone has to work harder to hold that signal and thus drain the battery quicker

    None, it was working fine until I switched it off to put in the new sim and it's been acting up ever since.
