BlackBerry battery life

Hi guys, does anyone who has a BlackBerry know why the heck flashing data arrows keep showing up? I am not subscribed to any social feeds, neither are any of my applications opened but the flashing arrows are killing my battery life. Please help!

Flashing arrows ? i have a blackberry curve.

Yup- at the signal bar at the top right hand corner of my BB, there are sometimes flashing arrows of which I was told that they are incoming and outgoing data information of some kind. Whenever this haapens, it kills my battery.

Btw Grungeprince,in my topic of "firewall on blackberry" didn't u say that u don't use a blackberry?now u saying that u have a blackberry curve. Hmph.. So what's the truth? Do u or don't u?

perhaps it means your key board is set to English, to hide this icon or change the language go to... Options Typing and Input Language select desired languages and at the bottom you can can select to Hide, Show, or Automatic for the icon. Have fun!

Thanks Kriss. Yes it is set to english.. But what does language have to do with data transfer?

lmao the truth is i have access to blackberry, my brother owns it, i surf on it for a while when he leaves it at home. its new..

flashing data arrows show up only while youe browsing or you are getting feeds pushmails etc.

are u sure the the battery is dying quickly??

Haha, okay Grungeprince and btw, the arrows flash even when I am not browsing or receiving msgs... In standby mode! I don't know why but yeah its killing my battery. Within like 30mins after a 100% charge, and without even touching my phone, the battery goes down 10%

Ofcourse yes! I know my phone!!

Then i am sure you have left some app open without closing. There is some kind of data transfer.

That's the thing... As far as I know, all my apps are closed... But thanks for ur help guys! Much appreciated.

Those arrows are showing that your Blackberry phone is receiving or sending informations. There isn`t a singe symbol, there are actually two arrows for two different tasks, one is for receiving information is the other for sending informations. Most of the time they will be up both and this is why you see them together. I don;t know what you can do to stop this, probably should set your phone profile to offline if you aren't using the internet.

Mine shows but it doesn't afect M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ batery! U̶̲̥̅̊Ʀ bartry is sick
