So even though you just took it off the charger it doesn't mean it just started using the battery and dropped 5%. It just refreshed the display showing what it used since full charge. The 2% additional in 5mins, means it was already gonna drop another 1% and by you watching and turning on the screen, you used up another 1%..

Also another theory would be the same thing that happens when you are watching your clock, time slows down... As you watch your battery usage, the more gets used..

Now, when I go to work the phone has a full charge. I hope this makes sense.

I have heard this so many times before but I don't know what to believe. I mean my evo stays on the charger every night and I have never had this issue when I take it off the charger(I have two evos). I put my phone on the charger last night at around 230am and its still on the charger now at 1130am, so you are saying that if my phone was fully charged by 4am that it hasn't charged at all in the last 7hrs?
