It then took 4 hrs and 15 mins to charge. After 30 mins I had went from 100% battery to 85% and I had only made 5 calls. So I came back here and did all the tips and I will do the complet dead and then full charge for then next 3 days to see if that helps. I keep reading about an update for the Eris in December. What will this update do, how will it help/fix and will I have to get a new phone or will my phone just update by itself? Thanks so much for the help and I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

just a heads up, it seems to be pretty universal that the battery drains really quickly from 100%-85% for some reason, but then like normal the rest of the way, and sometimes runs really strong for the last 15%. I've used my phone minimally the past 2 days, and i'm going on about 32 hrs and its at 20% which i think is pretty good. I have the mobile network on all the time, but have the "enable always on mobile" unchecked.
