Battery life on this phone has been absolutely amazing. When my first Turbo got smashed, my replacement was exactly the same but after awhile the camera stopped working. So now I got my 2nd replacement, and third droid Turbo, the battery is horrendous! Reminds me of the first androids that you had to plug in after 6 hours of use. I am not used to this phone dying every night with hardly any use. I looked at the battery stats and "cell standby time" seems to be draining the crap outta the battery. But not all the time. Guess I just got a refurbished phone with a damaged battery?

You only get a "new" phone to replace a defective phone within the first two weeks. After that you get a "certified" replacement....read refurbished. Last year I had a problem with my Turbo and had to return two "certified" replacement phones before they sent me one that worked properly.

You can maybe try clearing your cache partition and/or do a factory reset to see if that helps. If not I'd take it back and make them send you another one.

I do not have much longer before I can upgrade, so to go through the process of being sent another phone and setting up everything for the third time, doesn't seem worth it. A shame that nothing else out there can match the battery or camera of the Turbo, but it's becoming quite obvious I cannot hang on to this thing forever.

Moto Z Play is a battery beast and pretty powerful for a mid range phone. My wife got one about a month ago. She loves it but is not a power user like me. But what I've done on it I like it a lot. I'm eligible for an upgrade in 11 days and I'm probably going to go with the Z Play.
