Re: Battery draining while phone is off
It would depend on what it is doing...

Do you have it doing weather updates? Are you getting text messages? Do you have it checking email? Is Bluetooth left on? Are you in a location that the phone roams? Are you running GPS on it? All of these will kill the battery faster.

If your answer is no to all of these, then the answer would be simple battery drain. It is still polling cellular towers, which will in and of itself use bttery. Either way, if it is only dropping 30% over 6-8 hours, that is not bad at all, IMHO.
