I am going through 2 batteries a day now before it was 1 a day. Not sure what they did but if you are having the issue post here.
I too have found my droid is slower, lags and uses more battery...I know have banner ads that I can't get rid of....I also can't seem to keep app's from running all the time even though I keep "killing" them...they just come back right away....please help!!!!
Same here, battery lasts 5 hours. And a bunch of other issues also.
Absolutely. Just got the update a few days ago. got up this morning, took phone off charger went to work at 7:30am, got a text at 1pm and had not used my phone at all. Battery was in the orange. Have 2 of these phones in the household and some with both.
This update has been a pain. Before the update I only had to charge my phone every other night, since the update every 6 - 8 hours. I had a full charge last night at 10:30. This morning @ 6:00 am my battery was drained. What is running during the night while I sleep that drain a battery?
Is there anyway (I'm not rooted) that I can remove the update?
4 of us have Fascinates.
3 of us have now updated.
Guess which ONE phone has no problems??
Lousy battery life (not even a full day with virtually no use), calls & texts that don't arrive at all or arrive days after the fact, and way slower performance overall.
Boooooooooo and Hiss!
Echoing an earlier post -- is there a way to uninstall the update? If not, what's the timetable for a real fix?
I am having the same issue. Have tried everything. Verizon sent me a new battery which did not help. Display using 86%...this is nuts.Hope a fix or replacement phone is offered soon! Ashame since I love the phone
Same here
I am having a big problem with the battery draining too fast.

As mcneilly510 suggested, a master reset is a great option to correct this issue.
Go to the Menu>Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset>Reset Phone>Erase Everything.
Please ensure the contacts/SMS/memos are backed up in Google, SD card or Backup Assistant before the reset. The SD card will not be erased during reset.
Serious battery life issue is making my phone almost useless for me. Also since the update, aplications are VERY slow, the camera freezes when I delete photos, the number pad dissapears when I am trying to check messages (sorry voice mail lady, I just can't enter my password if I can't SEE the numbers!), Callers are telling me I have wierd music instead of a ring (UNACCEPTABLE FOR MY BUSINESS PHONE), I miss almost all of my calls now because they go immediately to the elevator music and voice mail. The list goes on. Pre update I loved my phone. Now it is garbage.
When I go to the task manager, RAM manager and clear memory to try and get things to run better I get a message saying 13 applications closed. Things run faster for about 2 minutes and then tank again. No idea what is running other than the usual 4 or 5 background applications that I expect.
As I am typing this I can watch my battery drain. What's up Verizon? You took a good thing and ruined it.
Message to the frustrated person who got no love from the Verizon stores, I intentionally waited a couple of weeks to research this issue because I expected to get the exact reaction you did. I wanted to make sure enough people had complained that Verizon might listen and you are extreamly lucky if you get a knowledgable person in the Verizon stores.
I've been having battery issues since the beginning. But more so recently with this update. I'm plugging in by noon each day and I don't use it as often as some people. I check my email/facebook and make phone calls, but not enough to need to put it on the charger by noon. I'm also having issues with vibrating strength. I can have it in my pocket and not feel it. I've read on other posts this being an issue too. It's horrible! I'm on my refurbished phone after having a number of issues on my original. I've had this for less than a month.
Add me to this list! I too am having this problem. It is AWFUL!!!! And the phone freezes A LOT!!! It was a cool phone and now it is just a dead piece of crap! I'm so upset.. been waiting for 2.2 (umm.. the latest is Gingerbread already!!) for almost a year and when I install it.. it turns my phone into an useless piece of plastic. PLEASE FIX THIS!! I used to only use 30% battery in 12 hrs. Now I go through about 100% in 6!! this is ridiculous!! I didn't change my usage habits or added more apps. And why are all the **bleep** apps keep auto-starting themselves?! I keep killing them!! FIX THIS PLEASE!!! And don't tell me to do a hard reset or turn features/services off.. that's not an acceptable solution!! It is a cop-out!
I have to charge 2-3 times in a 16 hour day with little use. Couple text messages and looking at Facebook
Everyone,
We are aware of this issue and understand it is frustrating. Our product team is currently working with Samsung investigating this battery issue. As soon as we have a resolution we will make sure to communicate that to all of you.
i'm having terrible problems too, so pls inform when solution is available. battery lasts 4 hours max now. really unusable to me with this issue.
Why does it say this issue has been resolved? I've been waiting a month for a resolution.
Hiya!
I'm new here and just updated my phone. I have two batteries. One is the original and the other is an extended battery which I have had for the past 4 days.
the extended batter has been showing a life span of 16-28 hours after an overnight charge. This morning it had a full charge. Now after a few hours of using the original battery (which is now depleted), I installed the extended battery which is now reading eight hours. this is both before and after the new update.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix the extended battery issue? I'm going to try letting it run down completely and recharge it tonight to see what happens.
