Can I please get some real help and or answers?

Not too familiar with ZTE phones but there are a lot of people here who are. In the meantime, until they get around to commenting with more substantive solutions, try restarting your phone into its Recovery Mode and select the 'wipe cache partition' option. More details here:

Regarding your battery not holding a charge too well, has this problem been going on for while now or did it just start recently? Your phone isn't that old so it's too soon for the battery to start failing already. While it could just be a faulty one, odds are it's still OK. Have you repeatedly ran the battery down to single digits? That generally should be avoided as it shortens the battery's overall life, causing it to fail prematurely.
If you look in your Settings >> Battery menu, are there any apps listed as drawing a significant amount? If something is running continuously in the background that should be looked into. Also, how much do you use your phone and what kind of things do you do with it? If you're a frequent heavy user than 3 hours between charges isn't good but it isn't out of the ordinary.

If that is RAM usage then I don't think that's anything to do with your problem. Android is designed to keep the RAM pretty full: it stores recent and frequently-used apps in RAM in order to save time and power (reloading them from storage uses more of both), so a high RAM usage is the way it should be if it's working normally.

Do you reboot your phone? That helps some issues that you are experiencing. The 10125 may be an app that you uninstalled but haven't rebooted the phone yet.

For the Zmax Pro, you may need to factory reset. That cleared out alot of junk in my phone. It's a PITA but my phone felt like new when I Factory Reset.

This phone is almost 2 years old so the battery may not last as much as the day you got it.

I'd have to agree that if clearing the cache from recovery , didn't help... my next step to save the device would be full factory reset.

that only sux, if you have lots of pictures and stuff on there u want to save... but u can hook it to a pc and pull your files off first...
that's what I'd do. and if it still happens after fresh reset,NOT INSTALLING THE APPS BACK, I'd say take it in to the shop...
