    Has anyone had any problems with this phone not holding the charge, with minimal usage I get 7 hours, with heavy use I get 3 hours, when its charging it gets soooo hot too.

    I'm still in my 28 days, should I get a replacement or what

    Just heads up but your minimal usage is probably a lot more than minimal. It's a big screen and a quad core processor + add 3G BT WIFI and it dies in 7 hours.

    Make sure it's no apps like Viber or anything else drain it down either. I've seen one too many phones that had their battery life halved cause of Viber.

    my htc sensation uses about 10% every hour with moderate usage and auto syncing on. turn auto syncing off and itll last for ages but this sorta defeats the point of the smart phone i think. the battery could lose about 60+% in 2 or 3 hours of constant usage with screen on (even if screen is on dim).

    i know its not the same phone but its a comparison for you maybe.

    then again, if your within the swap out period and you truly feel its awful then try another one and see.
