Battery failing after two weeks of use?

My battery just drained 50% from half an hour of texting. My screen is on auto brightness and I'm inside. I rebooted and it's still draining rapidly. Should I exchange it?

It sounds to me like you have a rouge app going wild. Download "system tuner" from the play store, open it and click on task manager and view what apps are running and view how much each one is taxing your CPU. Hope you find your answer...

Agreed, I had a phone that would die within hours, deep down I found some odd app and that was swallowing the battery, disabled it and everything was fine.

I killed everything except for Messages in the stock Task Manager and it continued to drain like crazy.

Sorry bud I don't know what to tell you. I agree your battery took a nose dive.

Is it just me or are the battery stats reset on reboot?

Anyone have any ideas on why my phone's awake time is almost an hr more than my screen on time? I keep WiFi on all the time and I get notifications from kik, tapatalk and gmail and occasionally Facebook but I didn't think it was that much. I'm new to this app and don't really know what it all means and how to tell what is doing what on my phone. I just want better battery life.
Thanks!

Did you read the wakelock thread or the better battery stats thread?

Or the battery life help thread that nobody uses for some god forsaken reason.

Follow the advice above for a better answer but looks to me like you have no signal where you are. Try airplane mode with WiFi on..
If its a stupid suggestion, ignore me.

Battery, WTF is going on here?

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to track this battery drain down?
Stock Rom, double tap, flashlight, camera, and music gestures off.

Interesting. I'd like to know as well.

One of your apps is preventing your phone from deep sleeping. As you can see in the screenshots, Keep awake: 3h 39m 13s
Which app is it? Don't know. You'll need to root your phone and then download one of the following apps: Wakelock Detector, BetterBatteryStats, Gsam to find out which app is preventing your phone from deep sleeping.

Cool thanks I do that tonight. A reboot fixes it every time. Seems to happen first thing every morning. I rebooted right after my first post, here is my stats now.

My money is on Google Play Services. Check the fix in my signature.

Man, look at how many times some of this has been used.
I disabled just keep awake function. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if that fixed it or not.

Carrieriq is back?

I removed the general bloat that this phone comes with, as well as the carrieriq ages ago. For the past few weeks I've been experiencing great battery life and struggle to drain it since I primarily am a casual user with no more than 2-3 hours of screen on time. However, today, I looked at my phone and saw that the battery had drained a lot quicker than normal - I had to charge it a few hours ago. According to wakelock detector, carrieriq appears to be draining it.
What gives?

Did you use a carrierIQ checker? Voodoo is often recommended. It will let you know if there is any files left on your phone

Just installed it and got this:
I'm not sure those consists of files I could just blithely delete without getting boot errors and what not. Is there anything I should do? My battery life is draining faster than normal and if this keeps up, I'm just going to sell this phone and get an international version.

Unless you specifically removed CarrierIQ when debloating, it's there. To remove it, check here

Just looks to me like the software hasn't reset the usage for it yet, give it one more full charge and see if it resets.

The reason I say that is mine showed like 1700 hrs for something once I first got it, after a full charge it went away.

I understand but this was yesterday, just hoping it doesn't cause a battery drain. I've also got it set to not scan for WiFi also.
