I turn my phone off last night with 50% battery left. This morning I turn the phone on and it tells me to charge the battery and then shuts off.
Here is where it gets weird; the exact same thing happened to my wife's phone except she had almost a full charge before turning it off.
What is going on?
I don't know I have gone 26 hours in mostly standby and I still have about 65-70 % of battery left. Check all your settings. I only have sync and back light to Auto turned on.
This is not normal and has never happened to me. Have you installed any apps from the market?
Little more info, please. Are your phones pre-OTA or have they been updated? Are they rooted? Did you just buy the phones? Have you trained the battery (fully charged then fully drained)? Have you done a factory reset?
Both phones are post update. Both were turned off by holding the power button then selecting "power off". Both have exactly the same apps that we had on our previous Androids (Vibrant and N1). Both bone stock. Have not factory reset, really don't want to go through the work of setup again.
I have never powered mine down completely overnight so I guess mine is not the same comparison. I might try it though just to see.
Ya they hold a great charge all day when on nut lost all their charge when powered off.
Is fastboot checked in settings or not?

Is this a feature known to eat up battery? I mean if I left the phone on all night it would have still had a charge.

Idk, shooting in the dark here, never heard of a problem like what you have. Wouldn't hurt to try. I know the fastboot has something to do with the way the phone shuts down.
That battery behavior is just strange unless you have apps syncing frequently.
I unplugged last night at 1am, went to bed, and got up this morning at 8am, it went from down fully charged to 93%. I have autobrightness on, wifi on, gmail and exchange syncing, every other app that syncs I have it to sync at least every 6 hrs or once a day.
I've had this phone for 3 days now, and I'm consistently able to get 12-14 hrs of battery time, and that includes heavy internet use, radio, tv, etc.
Are you in an area where it's constantly trying to pull a signal? Maybe that's what's eating the battery?
Are you doing the steps to condition the battery? Charge until fully charged, turn it off and keep it charged another hour, then take it off charge and use it until it completely dies on its own, charge it back up again and then use as normal?
Yeah, but he saying he powered the phone down, not left it on and just idle. Now that's strange

Yes but he is powering completely down not just in standby mode so nothing would be syncing. I will try this tonight and see if I have the same thing.
My wife had about 75% charge, I had about 50% charge. We both held the power button until the menu came up, we hit "power off". Both of our phones had dead batteries this morning.
I would download spare parts and see what apps are using ur battery

None of this would matter cause the phones are powered off.
If you have fastboot checked, the phone is not actually turning off. It goes into a quasi-sleep state and some low level processes may be running. That said, your problem may be related to the following thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839935
the fix: enable USB debugging mode.
Another possibility, and this is someting that's happened to me in the past: the phones may be plugged into an outlet that loses power when you turn off the lights at night
Fast boot is similar to a Windows computer going into hibernation or standby mode.
Mine has been acting weird since Friday. I woke up and it totally discharged overnight... it was 100% charged when I went to bed. Yesterday it was laggy constantly and the battery has been draining at least twice as fast. Today phone locks up constantly.. apps are force closing.
... have rebooted, pulled the battery, etc... phone has gone from a dream to a nightmare in that respect.
Gonna double check my debug settings and see what happens.
EDIT: debug was turned off. I turned it on... will report back if there is a change.
UPDATE: Turning on USB debugging and a reboot seems to have fixed it. Battery drain `back to normal.
Is it normal for my alarm to NOT go off when the phone is turned off but rings as normal when it's on?
I ask this because I sleep at night with my phone turned off. The alarm is set for 6:35 as normal for the morning.
For the past 2 days it failed to go off. The phone was however switched off, I take it the alarm does not ring unless the phone is on?
Should this be true it is strange as the older phones, the ancient Nokia's and Ericsson's used to ring while the phone was off.
My previous HTC Desire HD had the same issue, the alarm would ONLY ring when the phone was on.
Should it be turned off it would not go off.
Why is this? Any way to fix it?
Anyone?
Simple enough,just put your phone to flight mode and turn off the screen,dont power it off and dont mute it.
cuz automatically waking up is not supported by wm/android device.

Excellent idea, flight mode! This way will get undisturbed plus no more than 1 or 2% loss of battery in standby mode...
Also no one can call & disturb me. I though auto wake up wasn't supported, just wansn't 100% sure.
Cheers valest.
Valest, this morning at 6:35 my alarm rang for the FIRST time!!!
You are right about not turning the phone off...
I forgot to put in on airplane mode but thank god it didn't go off and I hardly lost any power...
Over a 7-8 hour period battery dropped from 100% to 98%
What excellent battery the Streak has... Screen brightness is ALWAYS set to 80% too.
I'm half way through the day and battery is still 94%
Lol your battery must be special or you really don't use your phone much. The battery is certainly better than most but not that great.

PS welcome to the streak. Even though its a year old its pretty good

becuz he was sleeping and the phone isn't really in use*^o^*
cpu and screen backlight are battery draining,so turn off your screen and let cpu go idle(set itself to 245mhz) helps a lot.
still,it could be crazier,my streak survived a 3 hours trip with less than 10% battery: turn down brightness,go to flight mode,shutdown unnecessary background app,set cpu to 245mhz.I was reading an e-book back then.

Yeah that's one thing I miss about Symbian. I could set the alarm on my Nokia then shut it off.
I currently use Tasker with a "night saver" profile I created. From 10pm to 6am:
Shuts down cellular data
Shuts down wifi
Shuts down bluetooth
Shuts down GPS
Turns off auto-sync
Drops the volume to "1"
As an alternative: you could buy a dock (i use the slacker dock) and plug it in on your nightstand.
It charges so you dont have to turn anything off and it's upright so it even looks like a clock

Haha, clever idea! But after testing it & only loosing 2% battery it doesn't bother me keeping it on.
I thought it would have taken more power as my old HTC Desire HD had a crappy battery and needed to be charged almost every day with LITTLE use...
Standby overnight would take around 8-10% This is based on a 6-7 hour period, which I think is bad as it's doing nothing...
I think its bln, I had it on at night and it would stay blinking the whole night while I was sleeping from texts. Happened every night until I turned off bln at night and my android os usage went back to normal. Just my thoughts

If you have it set to blink, it will use a ton of battery. If it just turns on and stays on it uses less.
Since our lights don't actually blink, they had to tell it to turn on, then to turn off, then to turn on, then to turn off....etc. The phone can't sleep if it is always trying to do something (like turn the lights off and on).

Well on my epic its high because I believe AOSP has the problem in accurately getting stats with percentage. Because on my epic when it used to ran TW it was more accurate.

So for users with Android os being high, it could be cuz of the bln?
I am running PA 3.5. Today I woke up with my battery being at 20% maybe 45 minutes later I got a notification of the battery being 14% and about two minutes after that the phone just completely died, it would not turn on. Luckily I immediately plugged my phone and got the blinking red light. I was afraid more than ever, and was turning on my PC to find the solution for this problem. In the mean time my phone went to its normal state and was charging. I turned it on and the battery was charging at 2%.
Should I be worried about this issue or has anyone had it happen to them?

Try searching the Q&A, lots of others have experienced this type of thing..
Anyone else noticing their tab screen randomly staying on?
It's always the same, screen randomly turns on and stays at the locked screen. It does this until I interact with it, or until it runs the battery dry.
It's sporadic, sometimes when charging or not even touched.
I haven't been able to isolate what triggers the screen to turn on.
One night it was charging face up and it just turned on and stayed on.
The other day, I left it in a drawer fully charged and came back to it completely drained.
Most other times it just happens when it's laying around.
Sometimes it stays on with notifications, sometimes no notifications.
But during the nights, I have it on blocking mode, so notifications wouldn't trigger the screen.
I also made sure daydream mode and stay awake are both off.
At a total loss here.
Anyone else have this issue?

I was having this issue when I had the brightness turned all the way up. The phone would randomly wake itself up. Try switching your time off to five minutes and turn off the smart stay. Worked for me and fixed my battery issue

My brightness is never all the way off, most of the time it's actually all the way down.
Time off has been switched between all the times, and smart stay has never been on.
Can't seem to figure it out.

Weird... Mine only did it with bright all the way up. Have you tried factory reset?
Yep, no luck.
