Battery dies in 20 minutes or less

My HTC Droid Incredible used to have battery life of 2 days. Now I am lucky to get 20 minutes. Bought new battery, no help. Not sure if it's connected, but Pandora will not open, just gives force close message. Thanks for any advice.

uninstall pandora....and any other app that you are having issues with (particularly any app that you recently downloaded, right before the battery problem). you may also want to try a factory reset, since it seems like it used to work fine.

Hi ttgach,

 

If a new battery did not fix the issue, I would move on to the factory data reset that  AZSALUKI recommended.

 

Go to Menu>Settings>SD Card & Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset and follow the steps on the screen.  After this, you will need to reprogram the phone and sign back into gmail. Please ensure your info is backed up to gmail or the SD card before completing the master reset.

 

Thank you!

My battery was getting extremely hot and dying every three hours.  In one year, I had 2 phones and 4 batteries.  Come to find out, it was the charger cable that came with it.  Verizon replaced it and everything is fine now.
