I noticed this happens to me too.. I wake up at 6am, leave the house by 7:30 and by 8am i'm down to 90%... HOWEVER, the rest of the day I don't lose power as fast...

Almost like the time just after charge drains rapidly, then slows down.. :/

If your using the 1% battery driver, which it seems like you are... That is normal for it to happen.

The driver has an issue calculating the top half of the battery (90%>100%) hence why when u unplug, it drops extremely fast to about 92-94ish%

Normal.

also, when you leave the phone plugged in, once the LED does from amber to green, it basically stops charging at that point, and if the phone is on, it will obviously keep draining the battery...I think once the led turns to green, it cycles charges to keep the battery above 90%.

You can demonstrate this by unplugging the phone a little while after the LED turns green, and then immediately plugging it back in, and see that the LED goes back to amber.
