1304490 2012-10-02 01:19:00 My replacement HTC Trophy is draining the battery rather quickly - about 2 hours from 100% to depleted. This issue didn't happen in the previous phone, or the one before that (this phone's been replaced twice now, but the repair company gave me the original battery back). Is it time for a new battery?

(Side note: I won't be buying HTC again :()

1304491 2012-10-02 02:41:00 Looks like its time for a new battery. Nick G (16709)
1304492 2012-10-02 03:47:00 Not specifically.... There are a lot of things that can drain the battery, and it's entirely plausible you've got some kind of app running in the background which is chewing through your CPU and subsequently your battery.

Tried a Factory Reset? Then, run it for a whole day as *just* a phone with no email setup, no apps, no nothing, don't enter in any details whatsoever... Just a dumb phone. See how long the battery lasts. Then, work from there :)

First thing I did when I got the phone. I'm running less apps on my new phone than my old one, and the battery barely lasts two hours without playing music. The last one lasted twice as long when I thrashed it...

1304494 2012-10-02 05:17:00 Does Windows Phone have one of those battery usage analysis thingys like Android? Chilling_Silence (9)
1304495 2012-10-02 05:28:00 No, but the homebrew battery app I have has a graph, which shows the battery dropping really quickly. pcuser42 (130)

But does it show what is using the battery?

How long have you had it? As Batteries generally only have a 6-month warranty on them.

The phone, a day :p The battery, over a year.
