Something is draining my battery and i cant figure out what it is...

Last night my phone was at 85% and when i woke up it was at 17%.
I made sure that opera was closed- beam, bluetooth off, i applied pretty all the tweaks (polling, the tweak from the mogul, backlight off)
What could it possibly be because this is ridiculous.

Also, what type of signal are you getting during the night? It could be searching for a signal at times, which will kill you battery FAST.

How many bars tho? A BIG battery drainer is when the phone has no signal and is searching for something. It could be losing signal on and off during the night and thus killing your battery.

If it switches to 1X, that may be it. I travelled to Northern Wisconsin a few weeks back and it was only 1X everywhere. i had to keep my phone on the car charger the whole time otherwise the battery would drain super fast.
