This morning I was surprised to hear the low battery beep. Usually I only lose ~10% overnight. I looked at the Battery usage and it was 50% Phone Idle and 50% Cell Phone Standby. Always good reception in my room. I have 2 batteries that I swap and this did happen on the battery that drains a little more quickly, but never that fast on idle.
Any tips? I'll see how the better battery does tonight and hope I don't need another spare.
Edit: on the 12/21 version

I had the same thing last night, my phone died around 6am, should have had about 50% left.
I poked around in my SystemPanel history, and found that during the exact hours where my charge was plummeting, the 'akmd' system process was running hard, and 'device usage' was maxed.
A quick google around found a few people who have seen this issue. The 'akmd' process is the accelerometer. But I wasn't running any apps which might poll this, so except for having 'orientation' enabled in the basic system settings, nothing untoward should have been going on. And of course the phone was motionless.
The only wild guess I have is that the phone was sitting right next to my laptop on a wooden surface. The "event" started at exactly 3am, which happens to coincide with when Microsoft decided to reboot my laptop for security update.
So perhaps there is a high frequency vibration issue at work here.
Don't know if this is at all related to your issue.
BTW, if you don't run SystemPanel for trouble shooting battery drain issues ... the freebie is great, and the $3 version is priceless.
