Hi all,

I am hoping someone in the forums can help me. I have received no help from VZW in store techs, the Twitter support person, or via the phone. So here is the short story.

-I purchased my original Note 2 December 2012
-9/17/13 while traveling my phone stopped connecting to wifi
-9/18/13 I went to VZW store in TX. They did some "troubleshooting" and a factory reset. This didn't work so they ordered me a replacement
-9/21/13 I get replacement #1 and set it up and charge it yada yada...well while it is charging the battery life is decreasing. So I stop messing with it and let it charge. I take it off the charger because I am onsite for work and need to get things done. Within one hour I had lost 30% charge.
So I go to the VZW store again and the guy does no troubleshooting and orders me a 2nd replacement.
9/24/13 I receive replacement #2. I charge it up and it is good to go. I unplug the charger and it shuts off. Well that is strange. I turn it back on and the battery has drained which I found strange. I plug the charger back in, unplug and it shuts off. WTH. So by this point I am beyond frustrated. I had to buy an external charging pack because I have super long days while working and can't be without my phone.
What are the odds someone gets two bad phones in a row.

So I decide well maybe it is the battery. I go back to Verizon store and want to get what I think is a defective battery replaced. The tech guy wants to charge me for a replacement battery and I am not having that. I leave the store and call VZW support. The lady is really nice and overnights me a new one.
9/26/13 I get the replacement battery. Swap it out and charge it up! well guess what!? The same thing is still happening. My battery is draining at lightening speed. I can not believe this!

I need help because I am at a lost of what to do. I have the Wakelock Detector app but it doesn't show anything odd and neither does the GSam battery app.
 
Boy, that sounds frustrating! Review this guide, in case there are things you haven't tried yet: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...how-tos/298919-guide-battery-saving-tips.html

Thanks for the tips. Someone else also suggested that. The Note 2 gets excellent battery life but since my original one became defective I've had nothing but issues.
Any chance a defective SIM card coils cause the issues?

Also a recent development of the phone being very hot while turned off and the battery draining while off.
 
Boy, I wish I could help, but your issues are beyond my expertise. I hope you're able to resolve them!
 
Have you tried a new sim card?

Just got a new sim card today and it is not any better. Waiting to get manager approval to get a new phone from in the store.
 
Put up a screen shot of your battery use. Could very well be an app
