    So the classic I'm using, the battery goes down pretty quick, not sure if this is normal.

    It went from 64% to 52% in 30 minutes of not using the phone but just letting it sit on my counter..
    I started using the phone from 7am this morning at 100% and it's now at 40% and it's only 10am... this is with light internet usage no videos no phone calls...????

    This normal or I have a damaged phone battery?

    I think it has more to do with the initial 10.3.1 bugginess. My Z30 does the same thing sometimes, like it switches off charging at some point overnight but thinks the battery is still 100% in the morning. Then an hour or two in the day I suddenly lose 20%. The battery analyzer also seems confused, so I think it's a software issue. I'm interested to see if the new 10.3.1 leak solves these bugs.

    Ya, I saw similar things happening on the Z30 with 10.3.1.1154 leak, and other people reporting charging issues on their Classics. I'd give the new leak a try.

    One possibility, check the Device Monitor and see what's draining it. I have found an app that if left in Active Frame, sucks ridiculous amounts of battery.

    Check your device monitor.
    Have you tried simply rebooting the phone?

    You didn't damage the battery but the software is acting a bit strange.

    How do you do the reboot again?

    Press and hold the power button.


    I have had serious drain issues on my z10 and the Batt monitoring led me straight to BBM. I did a reboot and it's been good since

    After your reset, go to your decide monitor and capture a snap shot and post it here so we can all help diagnose what the heck is going on. Good luck

    I experienced the same battery drain issues. Decided to return the classic and grab the passport. Battery life is very important to me. I hope a simple OS update will resolve the issue with the classic

    So I fully charged it to 100% and got 3.5-4 hours until it went to 10%...

    Is this normal, ppl with classics what are you experiencing with battery life?

    Post your device monitor numbers. This is not normal behaviour for this phone's battery capacity. Two Classics in the household and both have respectable battery life. At least for our usage here.

    Actually I have same problem, slightly use about 2 hours and lose about 30% battery power. Some time even do nothing, still lose power quickly.

    I would say some android app might be doing this.

    Never install any android apps. For me, I find out the power goes quickly if without WiFi and under 4GLTE circumstance.

    Same thing happened to mine when it was first shipped. But now I have great battery life.

    The key was to let it drain right down to nothing. This took many hours at 0% before it died. I then charged it up fully. Now the battery is a champ! Works well and I can almost get 2 full days with regular use.

    I'd second this. It seemed like mine wasn't reading the battery level correctly with 10.3.1
