Major Battery Dilemma

[awwpickle]

Okay so I tried poking around in here looking for help with my battery problems but couldnt find what i was looking for. So I bought 2 new batteries at verizon in the past month. So they should be good right? I woke up at 6am today. Texted a little bit. And by 8:30 am I had less than 5% battery. Charged it. Went to work at 9.... by the time I went to lunch at 2 it was turned off cause it had died. Mind you I can not have my phone with me at work so it sat in the office untouched. I have tried new batteries I have tried deleting apps that I had newly downloaded or purchased. I've had my phone for 4 months. It was perfect! Awesome battery, I only had to charge at night unless i was doing major using. Recently I charge it all the time, and it is lagging alot and freezing sometimes. Theres a lot of memory on it so text messages shouldnt slow it down right? Last time I did an sms backup I had about 22,000 texts, should i deltet any? Any help for my battery? Or it being slow? Please help! I'm about ready to scream here! lol

What Droid phone do you have? I had the same problem after I downloaded tikl app battery drained dead in 5 hours! You have something running on your phone that's draining it! Do a factory reset!

OK i'm in there but i dont really know what to look for? Do I just delete the apps that use the most?

 

[wyld]

I agree something is running and yes 22000 messages is alot you might wanna clean those often!

List what's running....

Or you could stop everything and what needs to run should come back on its own.

Alright... I guess I could delete some lol... And how do I know which ones are running the most?

 

[wyld]

Do you have a task manager?

 

[wyld]

Thetes a timer on the right side tells you how long they are pruning

 

[awwpickle]

I have the droid x... sorry just noticed that question. I will try stopping them cause there is about 20 things running. And no I dont have a task manager? I thought I saw a post somewhere saying they dont help as much as people think? But of course i could be wrong on that one lol

 

[awwpickle]

oh and scratch that... theres 62 apps running

 

[jstafford1]

Its true...they don't help much. Task managers = bad

So yeah go ahead and stop everything and see how it goes after that. If still bad battery might need to do a factory rest.
