Alright I got a new razr last monday because my other one was dropping calls alot. Anyway this is my 4th razr since feburary. Anyway It came pretty much fully charged with a new battery so i did all i could to kill the battery i think it took until tuesday morning. Anyway so after the battery was completly dead i charged it for almost 2 days straight the battery bar was full at 3. Then last night i plugged the usb cord into my laptop and phone and copied a few wallpapers and tones over then used p2k tools and deleted the hellomoto video. unplugged the phone plugged it into my charger and went to bed. atleast 12hours later the phone which was fully charged the night before plus 12 hours of charge now only shows 2 bars. It didnt have this problem until i plugged it into my pc. Anyone know how to fix this or why its not showing 3 bars

not to offer a lame solution, but my e815 sometimes shows inaccurate readings of the battery life. After I power cycle the phone (turn off/on) it corrects itself...maybe worth a shot

yeah i tried that and it will show 3bars for a few seconds then goto 2 bars.

you might have damaged the battery. I was told never to charge it overnight even with chargers that will trickle charge. Usually you can fully charge the battery in 4 hours. I always have to not charge it overnight. When you do this, it'll make you charge your phone every night instead of every few days.

I agree. But i suggest you drain ur battery fully till it turns off by itself and then charge it again ONLY for 4 hours.

Yeah keep that in mind for basically any phone.
