Not sure if that is related to your issue..

I've been mostly charging it by AC and it's getting to 100%, it's just that the screen doesn't say it is and thus doesn't track those stats.

Just wondering if it's a software glitch or something wrong with the battery. The orange charge light will eventually go off on the phone when it's fully (or presumably, fully) charged.

ok, since i posted, ive been on and off playing with various settings etc to set up my phone the way i want. sent a few text, went on internet once, etc. no phone calls. still at 80%.

Just an update... this morning it started happening again, I unplugged it when I woke up and 2 hours later the battery was already down to 70%. I charged it up in my car on the way to school, reset it, and after that the battery was fine, it's down to 90% after the entire day.

This leads me to believe it's definitely something running in the memory... but I really think we shouldn't have to soft reset our phones once a day.

I can never gain any charge through usb, only maintain what charge is there. Somethng else I noticed is I get more out of a charge based on where I lay the phone in my house. I live in a fringe signal area so I wonder if my issue has something to do with signal reception. I have noticed similar issues with other phones.

I think sometimes when we are in places where signals are not strong, the battery uses up more quickly because it's searching for signal. I used up almost 50% of the battery for a one and half hour meeting in the basement of my building. The battery drain could also relate to the data transmission on your phone, as I discover. If you have set up sync with your company's server, and depending how you set it, the phone might uses more power than usual. Currently, I have tried to shut down all unnecessary connections, such as bluetooth, wifi where not used.

That said, I am not quite impressed by the battery either. They should do a better job!

I got same problem with USB charge at 80% MAX. Only AC charge gives 100%. What gives?

I'm really struggling with the battery life to. Its very intermitent, not using it at all one day it loses 10% and hour and another day 10% per 4 hours. Its very frustrating for me I guess I should call Verizon I'm thinking there is something wrong with this phone.

How is your reception? As people have said that makes a big difference.

Activesync, does anyone know how to disable this from running all the time.

i gotta admit, battery life is not bad at all. im at 50% since 2am. its now almost 6pm. about 60 min in phone calls in and out, about 35 SMS, and about 30 min total on web. backlight was also set to auto when sun came up so i can see the friggin screen. i also used google maps once.
