battery dying in about 6 hours...
Ive had my phone for maybe a year or so and its been great. The other day i downloaded a wav for my phone but ever since then its been dying rapidly. It feels somewhat warmer then normal. I figured it was the battery so i went out and bought the extended battery but its still dying really fast. About 6 hours tops. 4 hours on the smaller battery. I dont know why this is happening. Is there a way to reset the phone or upgrade the firmware or soemthing that could potentially fix this issue?

Could you please explain exactly what you downloaded to you phone because maybe that'll tell us what is wrong with it. What do you mean by wav for your phone?

It was this exact sound file here in ".wav" format.

To be completely honest w/you, I'm not sure why it wouldnt' work mostly because I've never actually done it before.!!

I recently had the same problem after downloading some new ringtones. My batter will go dead overnight on standby, as well as overheat on standby. Verizon first gave me a new battery, but the problem persisted. Before returning my phone for exchange, I sent all ringtones and wallpapers to my second phone (family plan). Now the problem exists on both phones. Can there be a phone virus at work? Must I delete all ringtones and wallpapers?
One other side note... The Verizon Logo and time/date info sometimes blink back and forth at a very accelerated rate. It is during these times my battery seems to drain and the phone overheats. Not the battery side, but the key pad. Have you found a solution?
