i just purchased this phone and have to charge it everyday even if I only use it for under a minute once a day. What's wrong here?

If the phone is new, the only reason I have found is extensive use with loud ring tones (set on max AND continuous ring tone until you answer the phone), large data use, etc. If its a used phone, the most likely issue is a battery near the end of its life. If none of these apply, there must be a power draw somehow-maybe a loose or faulty connection. ONE wAY TO CHECK THIS OUT IS TO CHARGE THE PHONE UP, PULL OUT THE BATTERY AND INSERT BACK IN THE PHONE AFTER A DAY. if THE BATTERY HAS DISCHARGED ITS AN OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERY. IF STILL HOLDS ITS CHARGE AFTER A DAY, ITS THE PHONE.

It sounds as though your battery contacts are not clean, or you have a bad battery. My phone lasts about 3 days on a charge, even with heavy use.

Your question surely indicates that your battery is going out. Perhaps the seller shipped to you an old or defective battery, if it did come with the phone you just purchased. The standard battery should last an average of approximately four to five hours with heavy use and even much longer on standby. I have never experienced less, even with average or above usage. Depending on your level of usage, charging would ordinarily be necessary only every six to nine days, from my experience. I choose to use the extended battery, instead, as an additionally helpful suggestion. Good luck, John.

Your Bat should last longer then that. Mine will go two days no problem with heavy use? Check to see if you have functions turned on that you are not using blue tooth ect. Are you consantly roaming? ect these functions sap your bat. If not you may have a bad bat.

I dont know cuz I go 2 to 3 days before I have to charge mine. I'd suggest sending it back and getting a different one

go to a Verizon store and explain your problem. They can do an update of some sort to cure that issue. Mine was doing that but after Verizon 'tuned' it up I can go nearly a week between charges. I don't use mine a lot though.

I charge mine everynight while I sleep, but if I forget it will last me 2 days(48 hrs) if I don't talk for long periods of time. you may have a bad battery. IMPORTANT= if you utilize the water resistant feature of this phone then get a dock to charge on. the tabs that seal your phone only last soo long before they lose seal or break off. only open them when you have to..

My experience is similar, although I don't usually use it constantly all day. I keep it charging whenever I'm not using it.

Do the same thing a number of times. ... fill up and drain...mine works fine.... something may be switched on in the phone and is draining the battery..check your settings

Hi the phone is a dual sim therefore it uses two sets of normal resources. I do not use a lot of online resources as a result so i charge it once per day .

I only takes a couple of hours for mine to charge. Sounds like your charger or battery is faulty.

Not an answer, just another person who would like to know the same thing- why am I getting this warning for my iPhone 5c and why does it charge intermittently instead of every time I plug it in?

I got mine over a year ago and have not had any charging problems. I am on it quite a lot and charge it once a day just as a habit but it would stay charged for hours.

Try throwing it in the freezer overnight. Then thy re charging. If it still holds no charge. I would return it seller. It probably is defective cell/battery.

Factually, I do not know. You need to ask Arris. My guess is that it is not defective. It is intended to keep your phone active in a power failure. The time would depend on the number of phones it is powering and where it is in its charge/discharge cycle when the failure occurred. Also, initialization is strange. It arrives with no charge, goes through some sort of cycle back to no charge, and then takes several days to charge.

Its probably charging. I believe you have to allow it to charge for quite some time before you can really use it.

i belive, you did everything correctly. It is something worng to the battery. Try to recharge again, just charge it whole night and try again. If problem is not resolved, just send it back, if its possible

Very strange. I have the same exact phone and the battery is fine. Return it and get another one...There must be an oddity.

You need to calibrate the phone's charging sensor. There are instructions for this online. Basically, the battery is charged 100%, but the phone only thinks it's at 80%. When you unplug the charger, the phone looks at the battery and decides it's at 80%, so it drops down to that level almost immediately. It's the same reason why some people report that the last ten percent of the battery's charge seems to last longer. The phone thinks the battery is almost empty, but it is actually 30% or more charged.

It could be your specific battery. I had that phone for years and never had that problem.

I use mine for quick charges during the day. I let my iphone get to 40% and then charge it. I usually can do this twice a day and then I recharge it when I get home.

I think my phone charged a long time when I received it, though I am not completely sure. Give it a full 24 hrs, and if you still have issues, return it. This phone is slightly difficult to work, since it's not instinctive. I love it because if it's size and style, but it's no easy ride.

I have not had that problem. I use my trimmer on average once a week and the charge lasts for about a month. You probably have a defective battery, and should exchange the trimmer for a replacement.
