Samsung Continuum Battery dies in 3 hours with no use

So the last month or so my Continuum has been dying in 3 hours with zero use while in my pocket with the screen turned off. Yesterday I pulled the battery out (fully charged) and let it sit over night. I put it back in my phone and it had no charge. So it looks like the battery leaks power and is defective.
Does Verizon give free battery replacements or do I need to buy one from Samsung?

@Triplescrew That is definitely regrettable that you are having issues with your battery. I have had similar issues with my phone. Does your battery get hot when you are using the phone? Have you tried calibrating the battery? Which is to say you have let the battery charge up fully, and diminish to the point in which the phone powers off and then repeat this process 3 times? If you have calibrated the battery and are still having issues then you can get the battery replaced. You can give us a call at 800.922.0204 or visit your local Verizon Wireless store. I hope this helps. Thanks.

    Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.

    My iPhone 5 with 6.1.2 is draining the battery in 4 hours with little use. It has just started. Any suggestions? Any apps that are known to cause a problem? I recently loaded Fantastical and Cobook (since deleted).

  • Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade?  It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE!

    Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade?  It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE!  I've had worse luck with the i5 than the i4.  This is the first time I regret being in a two year contract.  I might add that this is my 3rd i5

    So now 12 days later and another replacement I'm still having issues and apple still isn't helping. My phone has started shutting off unexpectedly again today. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?

  • When i Using 3G internet The battery is reducing very fast. maximum I can Use 2.30 Hours with internet using. Is this possible ?

    When i Using 3G internet The battery is reducing very fast. maximum I can Use 2.30 Hours with internet using. Is this possible ?

    How long are you using internet for? Are you using WiFi or mobile data? Are you watching video on websites? There are many variables that could explain a perfectly natural battery drain. As I said previously you should try recalibrating the battery. My phone used to drain by mid-afternoon with little to no use until I found out about recalibrating. Since then its been fine and its something I do at least once a month.

  • My battery dies quicker than before, even without using the phone .aslo it shuts down unxpectedly (sometimes shuts down at 30% then i cant restart it until i blog it to the charger) and sometimes jumps from 40% to 20% or from 20% to 3%

    hi!
    my battery dies quicker than before, even without using the phone
    aslo it shuts down unxpectedly (sometimes shuts down at 30% then i cant restart it until i blog it to the charger)
    and sometimes jumps from 40% to 20% or from 20% to 3%
    i have done many things people recommanded it for me like :
    restore : i've done two restores and it gets better for the first 1-2 weeks then it gets worse than before.
    also deleted my music list (19gb) in order to make this better (as recommended) but it still the same
    my screen brightness is always ALWAYS low , almost the lowest.
    i close the apps when i finish using them ALL OF THEM
    i dont use the camera and flash , almost rarely. just to save battery.
    i dont use the location service always.
    i dont charge my phone until it shuts down and i dont unblog it until it reachs 100%
    basically i have tried eveything.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Battery died in 2 hours with 50% power ... HELP HE...

      Am traveling out of country... been trying to keep nokia lumia 900 charged up at all times...last night went to bed with little over 50% power in battery and in about 2 hours, battery was totally dead... ????  don't know why...
       I try not to let battery go totally dead before putting on the charger.. what caused the battery to suddenly lose all the power it had in a couple of hours...  I can't afford this battery to do this when traveling.. I need the phone.. and where I am .. I have no idea how to get a battery changed in this phone... since I cannot buy a new battery and install myself...   Don't know why Nokia made a phone that the consumer cannot change the battery in it by himself... this is not good...  I can't have the battery reaching 50% power and then suddenly have it go dead in short time... I had hard time getting it to respond to the electricity charger this morning when I plugged it in...
       WHY WOULD THE BATTERY DRAIN THIS FAST WHEN NOT IN USE... IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE...THIS IS FIRST TIME IT HAS GONE DEAD..   
      Please advise...  I need to make sure I have battery life when out of the country and I do the best I can to keep it charged up all the times... 
    thank you
    Barbara

    Really dont know the answer, but it is better not to discharge the battery cmpletely. In the long run it is better to charge more frequenrly, At least for modern phones as i have found out from battery experts.

  • IOS 5 fix not working battery Life not any better about 80% loss in 8 hours with no use

    I updated my iPad with the 5.0.1 update, to fix my battery issues. This hasn't fixed anything, what to do. 80% battery life loss in 8 hours with nothing being used?

    Have you checked all your settings to see if anything is running in the background e.g. location services, frequent email fetching, notifications etc - there are some tips on this page which might help, including doing a charge cycle (charging to 100%, running it down so that it powers off, and then charging back to 100%) : http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    Also are then any apps on the taskbar that might still be active ? To close apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of an app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a reset and see if that makes any difference : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My battery dies when I'm not even using my phone.  3rd 4s since aug '12.  Everythings turned off, blah blah.  SO OVER APPLE.  Can anyone help.  Was @ Apple Sat

    3rd 4s since Aug '12.  My battery dies by the second.  Just unlocking it, brings the % down.  Was @ Apple Sat & going back today.  Haven't upgraded to the ios7.  Apps are all closed, light is turned down...I've done & do it all.  This is the "new" (refurbished) phone from Sat & I can't even use it because the battery dies simply by unlockng.  SO OVER Apple.  Make a flippin product that works...that's what we pay for !!  Can anyone help ?

    Hello,
    If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
    I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
    Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
    - close all apps by multitasking....
    - do NOT keep the brightness to the max
    Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
    Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)

  • In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least.  Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

    Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more.  I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery.  I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls. 

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • Battery dies so fast even when not using it

    My battery could be at 100% and when I take it off the charger after one minute it drops to 93% and I wasn't even on it. I've only had it for three weeks.

    That is a pretty sudden drop in charge level, mine has on occassion dropped 1% if the battery had just reached 100% and was then unplugged...if it does this consistently, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test the battery to be sure it is ok.
    You can also do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears...that clears things and may help.

  • My iphone 4s battery dies after a few hours after upgrading the software

    My iphone battery dies after approximately 4 hours (with no use) after I upgraded to ios6 and, the phone heats up. This has been going on for about a month now and I've tried everything. Unfortunately, employees at the Apple store flat out refused to help noting, 'oh, just try restarting it, ios 6 doesn't have any flaws' (I've tried multiple times). Needless to say, 4 hours is not enough to warrant keeping a phone so if anyone has any (free) ideas, I would appreciate them greately. Thank you.

    Any ideas on what I can do?

  • Iphone 4 battery runs completely down with no use in an hour or two.

    My Iphone 4 battery, out of the blue, started running completely down in a couple hours with no use.  I would take it off the charger reading 100% and not do a thing, but the unit will get pretty warm and the battery drains.  The phone is only 3 months old and two days ago I was getting a full day to a day and a half with my ususal usage.  Anyone know what is causing this or a fix? I've tried shutting down and rebooting and for software updates?  Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks, Josh

    One thing to try is cleaning iPhone Dock Port with a clean dry toothbrush.
    If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
    Another is to clean the dock port again with the toothbrush and a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, especially clean the pins which are on top of the Dock Mid Rib.
    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the 'slide to power off' slider.
    Restore Firmware, at end when iTunes asks, Restore as New, not from backup.

  • My battery dies sooner than ususal

    Since installing io5, my battery has been consistently been dead half way through my day with minimal use. I have had days in the past, before updating io5, that my battery would be well over 40% even with moderate use. It would be nice to have my battery last 15-18 hours like it used to.

    This is exactly the same problem I'm having with my iPod Mini, only difference mine was purchased back in May '05
    Could it be problems with the battery or internal hardware damage?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

  • My iPhone5 battery dies when I'm not using it

    My iPhone5 battery dies even when I'm not using it its like I put my phone down and it's a 10% then when I look at the battery later when I look at the battery it's like at 1% please help me thank you

    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
