Did I get TWO bad phones?

[Ed Zachary]

Boss Lady and I both got Incredibles last Wednesday night. Hers has had no changes. All she has done is add contacts. She can send and receive texts, cruise the Web, take and send pictures, and her battery life is great. She can charge it once a day or two and she's good to go.

The first one I had, on the other hand, would eat the battery alive. When I first started it up, it went to the Home screen instead of walking through the tutorials, etc, like the Boss Lady's. I did a hard reset and things started up like they should. It also downloaded and installed an update. Put it back on the charger overnight. After about two hours off the charger (and doing nothing) and the battery would be half used. And the phone would be hot. After four hours it would be crying for the charger.

I called VZW the second night I had it and they sent another. It arrived yesterday. I put the battery in, charged it, and put in some contacts. Put it back on the charger overnight. This morning, I took off the charger at about 5:30. It is now 8:30 and it is crying for the charger! Phone isn't hot, but the battery is almost all gone! It is also wanting to install the update.

Odd thing: The Boss Lady's awake and uptime timers are way different, as they should be, but mine (on the old and new phones) are in lockstep. The timers were a bit different on the new one last night, but now, after rebooting last night, they are in lockstep.

The only differences we can see between her phone and my new one is that her software number is 1.22.605.2 and mine is 1.22.605.0. She installed the OTA update when she was going through her initial setup.

Still, could it be possible for me to have gotten two phones that eat batteries?

Edit: May have found something.
I had taken the SD card out of my TP and put it in the Incredible. I moved it to the new Incredible last night. The SD card has a LOT of stuff on it.
The Boss Lady's Incredible has been SD card free all the time she has had it.
Took mine out and did a soft reset to see if that makes any difference.
