Call the corporate number for trac phone. You lose service days- as days pass. But not airtime, there is clearly something amiss. Time for an account reset........

Mine did the same thing. It started doing it after I used the phone's internet for the first time. (I had owned the phone for a good 6 months without it eating my minutes - but the first day I used the internet, it forever ate my minutes until my minutes were gone). It has something to do with the internet being active in the background - even when you aren't using the phone. Yes: each time it pings you, it IS using up your airtime. My phone used .12 minutes about every 5 minutes until I ran out of airtime. It is why I trashed this phone and bought a new one. It did not matter what I did, I could not find a way to de-activate the background internet feature. Mine did the same thing. It started doing it after I used the phone's internet for the first time.

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.

I'd say something is definitely wrong if your Pulse only lasts 14 hours. Have you tried upgrading the software? Otherwise, I'd exchange it or get a replacement from Withings as already suggested.

My suggestion would be to close some apps you are not using before going to youtube & check on the energy saving settings, which limits the processor speed to favour longer battery times.

With my Galaxy S4, I find the screen repeatedly going off and on. It used to do it just went it was nearly fully charged, but lately it has been doing it more frequently. I've pretty much stopped using mine because it wakes me up at night. This is a know issue with them and is listed in the FAQs on their website. Customer Support emailed me to say they are working on it and will have a new product in 4-8 weeks.

I have not experienced this problem but this is a second phone so does not get used constantly.

Mine does that when I get out of range or mess with the buttons too quickly on the speaker. Just turn the speaker off and turn it back on I use the s3

Hey man. Well I use my phone allot. Standard battery was at 15 % or less by the end of the day (unplugging the phone from charging cable at 5:30 am getting home from work at 9 pm) the new battery leaves me with 49% in the same time span. So I would say it gives me an extra 5 hours about. Depending on what you have running ( gps, wifi, 4G, blue tooth, auto rotation and the other sensors. ) if you use your phone allot in a day I would recommend buying one. It really does help. Charging time with Samsung 2 amp charger is about 15 min longer than standard battery. Hope this helps make your decision. Grtz Hey man. Well I use my phone allot.

I haven't checked. It's our home phone and we usually use it for a couple of hours each day. Currently it lasts about a week between charges.

If it beeps about once a minute it might be your call timer on your phone. You can go into settings and turn it off.

Sorry, but I have not had that problem. I think it gets the time from my internet connection, Verizon Fios.

I keep my B250-XT on all day and plug it in to charge at night any problems.However My Samsung Galaxy s4 does not work as well. Making calls out is erratic at best. Waiting three months to get an I Phone which I don't like forother reasons think small and with their own problems and high prices.

That is an easy fix. It happened to me when I first got the phone. You need to change the date and time setting on the menu to manual instead of by caller id. I'm pretty sure that will resolve your issue.

It might be defective programming that it was given. If you want to keep it, just adjust the timing.

A good way to test if there is something wrong may be to run it with "normal" use for a few charge cycles. For example: don't watch videos, have just one Gmail account active, limit web browsing, turn off Facebook and Twitter interval sync (huge drains in my experience), and answer calls and SMS messages as normal. If you get 30+ hours doing this, there is likely nothing wrong with the battery, suggesting your particular level of "exteme" use simply may be ill-advised when needing your phone to run for an entire day on one charge.
