Do you have Safestrap on your phone?

If so, follow these steps.....

1. Charge the battery to 100%

2. Boot into recovery

3. Wipe the battery stats ( usually under advanced options), then unplug from usb.

4. Reboot as normal, then use device as normal until the battery is completely dead (do NOT charge the device during this time or you'll have to start over)

5. Once battery is dead, plug in to charger, wait minute or two for battery get some charge, then turn on device and boot normally.

6. Charge to 100%.

Done!

it shuts off all data... texts and calls still come in... just no picture messages or internet (email etc) .... this way it saves battery when your not using the phone but can still get calls and texts the stuff u really need... I always leave my 4g on .. so shutting the data off while either i'm sleeping or not using it saves the battery a whole lot

I shut off data when im on wifi too.... wifi with my phone uses less battery and for some reason with this phone the data still stays on... with my last phones (dx d1) the data would turn off when wifi was on and turn itself back on when needed
