Do Flashed Phones Have trouble with Battery life?

I have my Moto Q (Cricket) and the phone won't charge the battery. I bought a new battery just to see if it was the battery, but after an all night charge, It was dead after 6 hours. Maybe I just have a bunk phone?
 
:^/ You may be correct that you have a bad phone. Flashing a phone usually consists of writing to it a PRL file from a carrier other than the carrier for which it was created. Think of it as changing ISP's; it won't make your laptop's batteries drain more quickly nor more slowly.

;^) On the other hand, if your flash includes EVDO and you are thus spending more time online, that may drain your batteries more quickly, but that's a behavioral issue and not a configuration one....
 
Are you doing anything battery-intensive? If so, low battery life would make sense.

After charging all night, does your phone show a full charge? If not, it sounRAB like you've either got a bad charger or a bad charging port.
 
I am not doing anything other than talking on it and not very much at that. I haven't used the internet really yet because of the battery situation. It shows a full charge and says charge complete in the morning. Thanks for your responses, at least I won't be afraid to purchase another flashed phone for fear of a battery problem.
 
also if your running blue tooth that will drain a battery real fast, also try disabling your beam also, other then that, check to see if the battery drains more quickly while your using the phone or when the radio is transmitting and receiving, if it dies faster with the radio on, you prob got a short in the phone,..
