    Over the last few weeks I have noticed a significant change in the battery life on my 9930. A few months ago I started using it as a mobile hotspot at my new house. That zapped it for obvious reasons and I only leave hotspot on when I'm using my tablet or computer.

    The last few weeks it has started jumping from 70% to 5% or below. Last night specifically I had it charged to 100, was sitting at happy hour for 2 hours and had ubersocial open, the browser a little and texting. It jumped to almost gone. As soon as I plugged it in, it went to 65%.

    Do you think this is a battery issue or a phone issue?

    To answer the "did I get it wet" question...yes, the white box is red now, but that happened several months ago.

    Thanks!

    I have not. Frankly, wasn't sure where to find one or how much they cost.

    you can get one here for $15.. if you got to a retail store most likely your going to pay from $40-$50 for one.

    Mine went from about 80 to 1% in about 5 minutes with hotspot on, but read correctly after a battery pull. Only time I have experienced that.
