battery charge going down a lot - even turned off

[dr4sight]

I've had my HTC One V phone since late December of 2012. For the most part I've been very happy with its performance and the extra memory it has compared to its predecessor, the Optimus V by LG.

But recently the battery has been discharging at an alarming pace. I used to easily get a day's worth of use from it and now by midafternoon the unit is in need of recharging.

Last night I got home from work and the charge was at 17% (I have the app Quick Settings which shows the digital amount of battery charge). So I put it in the charger and checked before I went to sleep five hours later. It was at full 100% charge. I turned the phone off - not just the screen, but the phone.

This morning I turned it on expecting it to show 98-100% charge and it showed as 70%!

If this was a phone with a removable battery it would be easy to buy a replacement and push on. But since that's not an option with this phone I am wondering if anyone has any idea what is causing the phone to lose battery strength so abruptly and even when it's turned off?

Is the only answer buying a new phone?

You have two options

1)Call VM and request a replacement given still under warranty

2)Recalibrate your battery than underclock your phone with SetCpu nothing else otherwise values will not stick

3)Also remove that crap or bloatware known as quicksettings you already have the initial use that instead.Keep in mind for every app download it equates ram use unless you link2sd and forementioned drains batt faster
