Each day I'm (re)adding a widget to see which one might have been bleeding me dry. Thus far I can rule out Beauftiful Widgets and the Facebook widget....
Thanks for the idea!

I also tried this... and it appears that it is better... and I 'think' that I am getting a bit faster charging as well.
I admit, I went a little app crazy last week and maybe I got an app or two that decided that run Google ads when the phone was even off! I don't know... Coming from a TP2, this whole Google ad thing (while I understand the concept of "free" apps, they are annoying) is pretty weird.
I'm wondering if there are particular apps that are battery eaters and in addition to eating battery quickly when NOT plugged in... actually eat juice so fast that they are also the cause of very slow charging...
Anyway... I to am being somewhat more cautious with the apps as well and trying to see who/what the culprit may have been.
I'm cautiously pleased with some improvement but still disappointed in even this improved battery life.... Can't wait until my two additional batteries and the extra charger get here this week! Then all I have to do is figure out how to carry around two extra batteries in my pocket without them blowing up!
