Oh and speaking of inconsistency this is what I got in the beginning on the phone. Something is seriously up for this battery to be so inconsistent. I'm thinking of replacing it

My battery life goes from this to this from one day to the next and it keeps on doing it. I seriously dont understand this phones battery anymore

In the first pic, you have 1:30 of phone calls. That took 57% of your battery

Just wanting to bump this thread up for new members. I really think this one should be pinned

It might be better if the mods made this thread a stickie instead. In the CB forums, thread bumping wasn't exactly encouraged.

I was referring to this thread to a new member on another post and seeing as it has not been stickied by mods I bumped the thread so they could see it. And I have no regrets whatsoever in doing so

That's your business and I'm sure that your reason is fine. Send a PM to Assassin Droid or Golfdriver or one of the ambassadors and they would be glad to help. I think it makes a lot of sense to increase the visibility of this thread as it would help a lot of folks.

I just edited the OP to add the Report diagnostic Info. It has been reported by some users that turning this off helps preventing wakelocks, so it should helps in Standby, turning it off doesn't seem to affect anything so it will be a good idea to see if this also helps you.

Go to Settings- Privacy and safety.

Verizon? If yes, it seems that they keep removing tons of things in every device they sell. BUT at least in this case seems to be a positive thing not having it, unless it's working and not having the option means that you can't disable it.

On verizon there is a setting under lock screen/other security called send security reports. Not sure if that's verizon's version but I cut it off lol
