battery is goin shoop-dooby
 
had 50% this A.M.
When I got to work I plugged it in for an hour or so.
Showed as chargin.....
took it off for 15 minutes and now its "Battery Low, Tuning off BlueTooth"...showin about 15%

Verified GPS & WIFI off.

Guess I'll let it run out & then recharge from the wall.

Thoughts?

Were you charging from your USB sync cable? If it's the one that came with the phone, it only trickle charges. Basically, it keeps it the battery from going down but doesn't charge hardly at all. I remember reading a thread about some USB sync cable that actually charged, but can't remember where it was.

I was charging from a plugged into the wall charger (which uses the same USB port), so....???

Were you using the OEM charger, or a third party AC to USB charger?

Mine kinda did the same thing last week, consistently geting great battery life then one day got a little funky... I just let it drain as low as I can get it, let it go into airplane mode and give it a solid charge from the wall charger. I try to make sure it's really drained and give it a full charge and don't seem to have many issues with it.

Its prolly that....got it off EBay w/ a car charger & other stuff. How would I know?

I did what gholaleto did ...let it slowly go to sleep, then ran it all the way up at home w/ the OEM charger.

I found running windows locking program was draining my battery in cf03. I went back to s2u2 and my charge is lasting several days again. I hope this helps.

Had not thought about the WM Lock program killing the battery. I turned off Windows Lock and loaded up S2U2 last night to test for myself.

I can already tell a tremendous improvement. My normal experience has been by this time each day to already be down in the 60% battery range... today I am sitting at 95%!!! Same usage, same, same...

Wow, what a difference! :headbang:
