I finally just had to get a new phone. When I walked in and started talking, the lady said that the not charging was one of the hugest problems with these phones. I charged mine after I left and I have left it sitting. It stays charged. Only loosing a small percent each day. But if I ever pic it up and open pics or play a game the battery is nearly dead. On top of getting a stock android error. (Something of that nature) stock something. Anyway, she said they've had many returns and bsd reports on these phones. I am terribly upset. I really love that phone. The size and all. It takes great photos. I am really upset over the whole thing.
