Is there something wrong with this battery or my phone? With extreme use I am getting less than 9 hours

How many hours did you get with the original battery with same type of usage?I got more than two days with light usage.

If you have your wifi hotspot on for hours at a time, or are watching show/movies for hours at a time (screen on) 9 hours would make sense.

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

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.

Unfortunately, I can't help on this one. After I received the new battery - ahead of schedule, I might add - I determined that it was not a battery failure which caused my cell phone to fail. It was the phone itself. Sorry I cannot help.

I dont know. Mine is working fine. I would suggest that you disconnect the battery from the phone (if you have not done allready. ) and try charging it separaty to varify that the phone is not causing the dis charge. The next thing us to call the manufacturer to get help or to replace.

Suggest that you have the charging port checked. The port will wear out before the battery does.

Too few details in question to try to diagnose. Need to know: How old is it, how often is phone used/charged, have you tried other battery,etc. Maybe it's cable connection.. Did problem start after factory reset, are the contacts clean, too many variables, not enough detail to try to diagnose... Do Google searches for your model... Perhaps others have had same issue(s)...

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..

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

I cannot say what is wrong with yours...but I just tested mine. The extra battery charged fine in the cradle portion of the device. I then attached a USB charging cable from the USB port to my phone and it also showed a charging current. So mine does appear to be working properly. Try a different cable from the USB port, and if it is not providing any power "out", then I suspect your item may be defective.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

I had original battery nearly 2 yrs when I got new one. It was still working but required charging 1hr into active use. This new battery is half power after about 4hrs active internet and games. I should say that my particular phone is notorious for excessive power consumption.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

I've only had my replacement about 4 months and it doesn't hold a charge more than 40mins. Return it!

I had the same problem. I took my phone and battery to Verizon whom tested it they told me the battery was no good. So I am sending mine back.

I have had nothing but trouble with battery life on this "monster". I received it as a Christmas present, charged the battery for at least 3 hours initially, then used it for an hour or so. When I tried to use it again the next day, the battery was so low the device would not boot up. Recharged it to 100% capacity, closed it down to sleep mode, tried to use it again after about 24 hours. The battery was again completely discharged. This has happened 3 times. Who wants a device that you have to charge for 3 hours EVERY 24 hours in order to use it 6 - 8 hours?? I don't recommend anyone buying this item!

Anne, it's probably not usual, but I've only charged it once for 3 hours. Still going strong.
