Battery Issues?

[stacehamilton]

Hi Everyone, i am a new android user from Blackberry and wondering if anyone has battery troubles (am with Bell). today I unplugged at about 7am and with it being 1:30pm now i am at 12 percent battery left. I have brightness set to auto, and sleep is 30 seconds. the phone is setup with an Active Sync push account. Today i used it casually to check email and some social media feeds. Just wondering if this is normal? I just got the phone 4 days ago, do i need to let it settle in? thank you for any help.

Charge it and let it die completely 3 times.
That should help.
I did that from the start with mine and I am still around 50 percent at night when I get home.
I tested it once just to see how long it would go and it went 30 hours before dying .

This certainly seems to have helped. Thank you very much.

Would seem i am still having some issues. I checked today and my Screen On time was 52 mins but the Keep Awake under Android OS was 5 hours. I had read in some older threads that if you turn off the device by using the power button rather than waiting for the back light to goto sleep the device still thinks it's awake?? Does anyone know if this bug is still in existence? I had G+ also set to sync and have since disabled that but i am at the point where the only thing i have syncing is my email making the phone pretty static with zero notifications which doesnt seem very good. thank you.
