I think my issues is Google maps (doh shoulda thought about that), even though I'm using my phone less I'm using google maps a lot more the last couple days. Right now phone is running at 230 mA with wifi disabled and 297 mA with it enabled now which is about right, if I turn on google maps it jumps and holds steady to 510 mA because of GPS / Data Connection . I don't believe stealth tethering can be removed easily without a hard reset but I'm not sure. But I do doubt this is the problem, as so many people have this enabled on this forum I'm sure, but you never know? Good luck
