Used over 50% battery in 2 hour span while on idle???

[BlackBarryNewb]

So I took a 2 hr nap. The phone was charged 100 percent and when I work up the batter was more than half way used. How could this be? And this was after it took me nearly 2 1/2 hours to recharge from 15 percent to 100 percent. Should I take the phone back to verizon and replace it? I've looked through this website and a lot of the users are doing much much better with the battery. I haven't done anything to the phone besides downloading Angry Birds.

Thanks mister. This was the solution to the problem.

Most other people who suffered the similar issue like yours had some reason consuming the battery at background. A factory resetting will of course wipe this out. However, as you install your daily apps and start using, this issue might come back.

I would recommend you to check battery usage as you slowly reinstall your daily used apps. If any one of those apps were causing the issue, you will be able to find it as you install the apps one by one. If you install all of them altogether, you may not be able to pinpoint what the cause was.
