My battery drains very fast if I have it in the belt clip. Any body has similar issues?

My battery drains very quickly period. I have never had a phone with such lousy battery life.

It doesn't happen to me, but i have all of the power saver items checked. The games are the only things that run my battery down.

I use it just the way in the pictures and mine doesn't drain fast. There are a lot of ways under the settings to keep that from happening. I just had to play with mine. When I first got the phone the battery would last for at least 3 days before recharging, but now I charge it daily, I did the wrong thing and let it drain all the way down one time and ruined the battery and since then I have had problems.

My usage pattern is similar, and I have had no battery life issues. I've had it a month and am still on the original set of batteries, and I will look into rechargeables after that as is my custom. I would strongly suspect that you have a defective unit. Personally, my big complaint is the lack of accessories; especially since it lacks a lanyard, some form of belt holster would be nice, and a rubber grip would be a very sensible addition.

I haven't had that problem myself but i have noticed that the battery sits inside the phone a little loose. I can hear it slide around when i shake it. Maybe yours is loose enough to cause that problem.

Hey, Christina. The belt clip is utterly useless. The case with phone will not fit into the slots designed to hold it on belt clip. So, even if you could fit it on your belt in the horizontal position, the phone does not fit in the belt holder. I wouldn't buy it.

I never use the belt clip. That's how phones get lost. Fits fine in my pocket and since there's no rubber on the exterior of the case it's not difficult to get my phone in and out.

I have the same problem too. I also noticed that the battery drains faster due to cold weather. Maybe try using the outdoor covers they offer.

I didn't experience the high battery drain mentioned in the other answer but, the connection does wiggle some, enough to cause dismay. I found this device satisfactory ONLY when it sits still on a nearby table. When in a pocket, it's range is severely limited. I moved on to a different device with no regrets.

Steve,Sorry, I do not use a belt clip. I keep my phone in my front pocket. My belt clip broke after 2 weeks of use with my original Otter case.

I will not use the belt clip. Because of the size of the thing, when you sit, the pedometer jabs me at the waist. I have a bit of a gut, but I think this wouldn't be comfortable for a slim person. Even if getting jabbed with it when sitting wasn't an issue, I think just getting up and down or bending over may cause the clip to slip/move. I keep mine in my pocket, attached to a pedometer leash. However, with it being so inaccurate in counting steps and freezing up -- I hardly care if I lose it now. I'm much happier with my Fitbit. I'm not easy to please, but I wouldn't recommend this product. Too frustrating. Sticker on pedometer says "Made in China."

Yes, I walk for hours some days, and leave it clipped to my belt. I haven't had any trouble with it.

Yes, i did have a problem when i broke my belt clip but otter box sent me a free one since it is lifetime warranty. The case itself is very durable and i have dropped my phone a ton but it has had no faults. I also sit with my b phone in my backpocket a lot and not a single problem

The belt clip is sturdy, but in my experiences with it, the holster tends to come off the belt during somewhat strenuous movement, I do not think it will stay clipped. In fact I have added a small chain to the side stylus band and attached it to a small carabiner that I attach to a belt loop to avoid loss.

I really don't use the metal clip at all, and the plastic belt clip just seemed to bulky in either configuration. A coworker of mine owns Strongside Holsters, and made a vacuum formed belt holster that holds them in a horizontal position in the small of my back. If you would like more info contact me & I will get it to you.

No. I had to remove my Crimson Tracer before being able to use the belt clip!

I have used mine a couple of times with no issues. I know the generic batteries seemed to run down more quickly when stored in the grip. I just checked it again and saw that the grip also has an ON/OFF slide switch that much be turned on. It's below the camera LCD screen. Hope this helps!

I have had it since its release day and havent seen a problem. Have you checked to see which application is consuming the most battery? Also, like all my android products I install 'advanced task killer' which terminates selected apps from running in the background consuming battery.
