    Just got a new curve about 5 days ago but noticed the battery is only lasting for about 8 hours with very little use.. am I doing something causing it to drain?

    That battery life doesn't seem typical for the Curve based on my experience. After 8 hours, I still have 85% with light use (only 15% drained).

    Do you have any processes running in the background?

    I would say either return the battery or buy an extended battery.

    Get another battery see if it will do the same to you, if it does return the fone right away.

    Do you have Bluetooth constantly enabled as a matter of curiosity?

    What OS are you running? What apps do you have installed?

    Things that kill the battery:
    - Bluetooth. Turn off when not in use.
    -Media Player, for obvious reasons
    -Vibrating alerts. Set to off or 1 wherever you can, disable vibe for out-of-holster or whatever works for you.
    -"Always-on" Apps like Viigo and JiveTalk.
