    Post Battery 100% On, 80% Off

    l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery

    I have the Gold Platinum edition, I got it because of how close it looks to Chrome, and I love the color of Chrome. I feel it gives it a sleek futuristic look. The only drawback is that for safety sake I had to put a case on it so and that hides the sleek look and feel of the device
