My office bought me a Droid X for a company phone on 12-21-2010 (actually bought 2 at the same time, one for another employee). I have been having battery issues since it was given to me. I took the phone back to Verizon on 1-6-11, and was told that they needed to do a hard reset on the phone, but that there was nothing wrong with it. The sales rep I was speaking to even told me that it was "normal" for a Droid X to be dead after 7-8 hours depending on use. I asked her what if the phone is sitting on a desk with everything off, and she repeated her answer.
Since 1-6-11, I started keeping a log of the phones performance. I would like to know what you have experienced with this phone. Is what I am seeing "normal"? I have an iPhone for my personal phone, and I can keep WiFi and Bluetooth turned on, be on the phone for 2 hours a day and use push email, and still be at 20-30% battery by midnight after unplugging the phone at 7am.
Here is my log (this will be updated regularly - Also, I will be taking the log to Verizon on my next trip):
Please note – phone is plugged in to a wall outlet every night at approximately midnight.
