The problem I'm having, which was the same that I had with the Optimus V and why I decided to upgrade to the slider, is my battery gets sucked dry in a matter of hours -- even on standby. If I use it I am lucky to get 2 hours out of a full charge. If it is just on standby, I'll be lucky to get 4 hours out of a full charge. This just sucks. I don't keep it on the charger other than to charge it. It also charges extremely slow. It will sometimes take the better part of a day just to get it to 100% charge. This really sucks.
