You've got 1 of  3

1. a bad battery

2.A charger that is'nt charging like it should.   And dont charge you phone Via your Computer

3. Or there's something in the phone thats causing a Discharge  If it's not passed the 14 Day return.  Return it an get another D inc. 2 or at least try another Battery.

How are you turning it off?  Holding down the power button for several seconds?  If you just press it briefly it will not turn off just blank the screen. 

You may also want to download "Advanced Task Killer" from the market.  It allows you to shut off any app or process that is running that may be discharging your battery.

I have to respectfully disagree with you about the Advanced Task Killer. Everytime you are killing an application, it will just cause the application to respawn themselves.

Try this application instead.

Ann i think i asked an you might have been busy at the time but wich Version of system pannel did you choose to go with. An your Right that advance Task Killer is nothing but a pain in the neck.  the OP ^ above must have had it installed at the Store.

I use the free version which is what it linked above. I have been thinking about getting the paid version, but haven't done so yet.
