Help battery life just got worse?

[newjacksm]

About 2 days ago I noticed my battery would drain down to about 40 percent after about 2 hours of just texting through google voice app. this is really unacceptable.

I also started using a samsung charger that fit this phone, the samsung charger was for a cheaper phone that wasn't a smart phone I figured it was ok to use, but I dont think that is the problem.

Anyone have an idea what it could be? I have installed any apps other than updating apps.

Have you power-cycled and pulled the battery?

On at least two occasions my Incredible has gone a bit crazy and drained a full battery in about 4 hours of non-use. In each case, once I realized there was a problem I pulled the battery. After restarting it's always been OK.

It hasn't happened since I started using SystemPanel so I'm not sure what caused it, but I suspect it was a runaway app that was continuously refreshing even when my phone should have been in standby.

People are saying that since they updated the facebook app it has been causing very fast battery drainage. It might be due to that.
