I've had my *non-rooted* HTC Incredible for about four months. I have the standard OEM battery that came with the phone. I typically charge my battery overnight (11pm to 7:30am) using standard charging procedure (no bump charge). I work from 8:30a to 5:00p and typically use my phone for a total of ten to fifteen minutes during that time for quick text messages or a visit to the Facebook app. I use the phone more heavily after work until I put it on the charger, putting about an hour of activity checking e-mail, texting, Facebooking, and playing a few games, but I am by no means a heavy user.
Until recently, for at least the past month the batter charge would be as high as 80% and as low as 60% at 5pm, and would hit 30%-20% at 10pm, but since last week (ironically ever since Verizon made their iPhone announcement) my phone has been dying around 7 or 8pm each day. For example, I took my phone off my charger this morning at 7:30a and it is 10:30 and I am already at 70%, where I would normally be at 90%. There have been no changes in my charging habits or use - just changes in battery life.
This is not the first period of time where my battery seems to be conking out earlier than it typically does. I'd say there are a few days each month where the phone does this, but this is the first time it has done it for a prolonged period of time and it's frustrating that the battery is so inconsistent, especially when there have been days I can coax twenty hours out of the battery, and others where I can barely get through the workday.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, or can point me to some diagnostic apps I can use to figure out what may be creating a difference in my battery life?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
