After my post yesterday, I am attempting a test of a complete reboot process. I factory reset the device (it clears all data) and removed the app from my phone and any other devices. I fully charged it up and then set up the device as new with a different email address. I once again put all settings as low as possible (dim screen, no notifications, manual wake). In 19 hours I have used less than 2 percent of a charge. However, my hopes are not great. It was the second charge after the initial setup that it started to rapidly lose power. That would make it seem like a software error but I believe the problem is internal to the battery. I am sad to read here that many people are experiencing a problem with returning the device to the original seller. I feel a little embarrassed to bring back an used item (only three weeks old) to Costco, but they said no problem. Costco's return policy is 90 days despite the fact I have none of the original packaging.
