Oh, I agree entirely...it sucks to turn it off. But, it's not a big deal for me as I'm a student and only work in this basement during the summer. Come August it'll be back on full time. I guess my point is if you can find out what's causing the drain (e.g. constantly trying to connect to the internet) you might have better luck figuring out how to fix it. Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, just wanted to tell you what was happening to mine to give you some data points on a phone with similar programs.

One thought that did just occur to me...could it be the GPS as the problem? Maybe it's trying to find a satellite too often. You might try turning off the GPS for a day and see what happens. *shrug*

Edit: Just read your post about GPS...you are right that it shouldn't be trying to run except for when a program is accessing it, but something is obviously causing a problem.
