Blackberry Curve Overheating & Battery Drain: Gone For Good

I see that a lot of traffic to this site is driven by search for "blackberry overheating" and "blackberry battery drain". Just to make things clear, let's state that

• This problem seems to be gone for good, never seen since;
• Doubt that it had anything to do with it, but timing was close to OS upgrade from 4.2 to 4.5.0.81.
• The fact that all third party software on the device (mostly Google stuff) was kept up to date may have played a role, too.

If you're still suffering from this problem, try upgrading the software and see if it helps. You're not going to regret it, either - functionality is noticeably better, though the device is now more sluggish than it was before. Alas, this is the price of progress.

BlackBerry Curve Overheating & Battery Drain: Solved?

I've suddenly realized that it's been a while since my phone overheated and tried to drain the battery. There were no statistically significant changes in usage patterns, but there were several BlackBerry updates (couple of them caught me in the middle of the conversation - and why that Instant Messaging folder that I've deleted keeps coming back to life like a zombie?) and possibly some Google application updates (can't really say anymore, since they've hidden update details from the casual eye).

There's a poll on the sidebar, tell me if it's just me or it's gone for good...
