Help phone wont start from power off without bpull

[mrfranswa]

Hey everyone. First post with new droid x. Man this thing does everything! Neways here's my issue: I got a certified refurbished for 100 less than a new one. As you can prob guess it has the battery pull and overnight battery drain problems. I took it to Verizon earlier today. And they are sending me a brand new one!

Here's the thing. I would REALLY like to have TWO droid x phones so I want to try and fix this sucker myself. Anyone who can helpp will get major kudos points from me. So here's the situation:

A: I can reliably duplicate the battery pull issue EVERY time the phone iscompletely shut off. If you don't know it is where you can't turn the phone on without yanking out the battery. It doesn't matter what the charge level is. Other posters specify they only need to do this a few times. On my phone it is EVERY time.

- it ia repeatable
- hard and soft resets have not fixed this.
- the men card is not corrupt. I switched it and no change.
- the phone is up to date.

B: this morning I foundthe battery completely drained. Last night before bed ithad over 90% charge.

C: the phone sometimes randomly resets for no reason. Duoring calls, or in the middle of f posting here (hinthint).

Any help fixing this is greatly appreciated.

No ideas? I have determined it is a problem with shut down. At first I did an overnight charge that fixed it for a few hours however its back to its old self. If I could find an app that prevents shutdown I believe I could fix the problem.
