Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood
Battery Problems
I got my e815 in NYC a week or two after they came on the market. Everyone's been saying how good this battery is (like a week of standby time or something), but I am having two problems with it:
1. Frequently I'll charge the phone in the later afternoon and then by the late afternoon the following day (or worse, the middle of the night the following day), the phone starts beeping at me because the battey is dying.
2. I'll have three bars of batter life and within a half an hour or so, the phone will be beeping at me because the battery is running low.
I took my E815 back to the Verizon store where I got it and got the battery replaced and it didn't help. Then I had them replace the whole phone and that didn't help either.

Something must be wrong. I've had this phone more than a month and never had any battery problems. With normal talk and not using any bells and whistles I consistently get 5 days. Overall this phone has been great in all aspects. Best cellphone I have had.

I would go into a Verizon service center explain your problem and have them test your battery to see if its your battery. If it is your battery they will swap it out for you. The thing is if you are using V-Cast or a lot of extra features on this phone and have changed factory settings such as having the back light stay on longer you wont believe how much quicker it will run down your battery.

I starting having the same problems a few weeks ago with both of my E815's. The other night, I went to sleep at 11:00pm. My phone had 3 battery bars. My battery strength was at 6 meters. When I woke up at 7:00am the next morning, my battery was beeping. I'm taking the phone down to Verizon with the instructions from howardforums to disable EV-DO.
