Re: warranty for bad battery life
HOW TO WORKAROUND THE BATTERY ISSUE!!!

I've done some testing on various Verizon based 6.5 ROMs and found a battery drain issue. It is related to bluetooth starting up. After a soft reset, turning on Bluetooth will cause unusually high battery drain until you do one of two things:

Either stop and restart Bluetooth from the communications setting screen, or pair Bluetooth with a device. Once you have done this you can leave Bluetooth on without excess battery drain (even it you don't keep the phone paired). When you soft reset the device you will have to do one of these things again.
This is a firmware based problem, until Verizon or HTC come up with a hotfix or firmware upgrade it won't change

If you follow these instructions you should get 24 hours with moderate use.
