Thanks for the pointers guys
turned down the wifi thing to better battery. Seems once it got below 60% it started settling down a bit. stayed at 52% for about an hour. Now its holding steady at 51. Odd, but hey this is my first week having the phone so thanks for the info on the somewhat immediate 100-90% drop.
Also cant wait for the new rom root!
I lurked here for about 3 weeks prior to getting my phone and always noticed you were the most active of cooks and ive gone thru and tried most of the top other roms on this forum and nothing compares to a Root rom
