Also if you have a custom ROM you may find that some are better on battery life than others. I had one custom ROM and I was getting horrible battery life and my phone was getting really hot really fast. I switched to a different ROM and it was far better and the phone does not get hot, even after a 2hr phone conversation. The phone gets incredible talk time. This is funny that people rarely complain about the battery lasting for conversations....because we do so much else with the phones. Realistically, internet and games and all the other things we do with the phones drain the battery. I like the advice about the recharge before going with your day because I wasn't aware it stopped charging once it had a full charge. This will explain the drop w/just turning on the screen.
