s it ok to leave my 925 on the charger all day or will it damage the battery
Our phones are designed to not over charge a battery. It will stop drawing power once it realizes it is full. There would have to be something faulty with the phone for it to damage the battery.
Not entirely true.
While it won't "damage" the battery, these batteries have a finite amount of charges. When the battery reaches 100%, it will discharge 2-3%, then recharge. Doing this over and over adds up and contributes to the deterioration of the battery's life.
It's healthiest to unplug a device as soon as it reaches 100%. That said, OP you've definitely got a defect on your hands.

Everything but NFC what is it
This is why it quick charges to 80%, then trickle charges the last 20%. Battery longevity is no joke to the manufacturers. And the charging circuits both in the charger (phone) and battery pack itself are rather advanced.Now, if the phone was defective and it was straining the battery by over charging it, that is different. Also any time you charge to 100% there is going to be a short amount of time before the phone realizes it is full...that extra strain could potentially hurt the battery but I do not think it would be enough to ever notice...but would lead to the understanding it is best to unplug it if you can.
Well I got the replacement phone now I have 68 % left in the morning as opposed to 10% with the other phone
the only app running is battery peformance
What do you mean by 68% left in the morning? How long does it take to go from 100% to 68%
If it is doing that just over night then there is something wrong with it because if I charge mine and plug it out at say 10pm and just leave it it would be the next afternoon by the time it would drop to 99%
I now have 14 apps running in the background and I use between 1-1.5% per hour if in standby and that is with 3g WiFi Bluetooth and NFC on all the time. The most I see the battery using is 19% per hour and that is when I'm using the internet on photo heavy websites and not using mobile version of the site.
I think the 3.3% is pretty legit. I think you were completely right to get the warranty claim.
I think you have a Super Hero phone, haha. If you get 1% drop over 12 hours you have a straight up Jesus Christ phone, and need to put this Nokia Messiah on the news! hahaha
1% an HOUR would be pretty nice. [I have a 920 but...] When I am sleeping at night I might get 2%. A daily average, walking around and checking every 30 minutes I get ~4-5% an hour on average.
The worst is 40% an hour. There are multiple games that will do that.
