That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Did you let the battery completely drain and then charge to 100% after you bought your phone?

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.

Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.

I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

Basically you shouldn't have to worry about battery life if your only using the phone "normally".....

A sales only store is unlikely to have any batteries on hand, we hoard a ton of new and used ones at my store, but we're a repair store...we're always getting folks coming from sales only stores for batteries.

Yeah even when i'm in a crappy service area I still get at least 12 hours of medium use, with at least 2 hours of screen on time. I'm using the stock ROM as well. I have 2 email accounts on push. And don't use wifi

Just tell them you're in a hurry and don't have time. They just gave me a new one and then I was on my way...

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?

Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.
