Feb 20, 2013 at 18:01 comment added mellis481 I'll try a factory reset and update this thread after I do. Thanks for your continued input.
Feb 20, 2013 at 16:43 comment added Izzy To decide whether it is a soft- or hardware issue, you might try a factory reset (this will also be the first thing Motorola service will ask you to do). Keep in mind, however, that this will wipe away all your data and all the apps you've installed, so make a good backup first.

Feb 20, 2013 at 16:25 comment added mellis481 Not sure how I failed to include this, but replacing the battery with a new one was the first thing I tried. No difference. And I'm sure I've tried that, Izzy. I usually fully charge my battery. Another phenomenon that started before this inaccurately fast draining indicator issue was that when I would "fully" charge the battery, the indicator would never read 100%. It would always be 90-something.
Feb 20, 2013 at 16:14 comment added Izzy Well, that exactly sounds like the reason given for battery calibration -- controversial as that topic might be... I know the following should not be done too frequently, but have you tried to let the battery drain once until the device switches off, and then (in one run!) re-charge it to 100% without disconnecting the charging cable?
