So assuming that you are reading from NuePower and that your backlight setting is 3 instead of 1, here is my guess at your adjusted reading.
175mA - 100mA(NuePower) - 18mA (backlight-each level adds 9mA) = 57mA - same as the others in the thread
To take this a step further, with the device in standby (screen off), 57mA becomes 13mA. So with your settings you should expect 1340mA/13mA=103 hours in standby.
Note: I always have the light sensor on and have found that it has no measurable effect upon the discharge rate.

Thanks - I'm glad you were able to make sense of my post even though I misspoke and said "when" when I meant "without." Yes, I was using NuePower. Didn't realize it was inaccurate. My phone is also one of the ones that gets really hot. Not sure if that's also normal or just some folks are having it.
Oh, and I tried just putting the light sensor back on for a day (because I wasn't able to see the screen outside on a sunny day) and it drained much faster than normal, so it does seem to be a factor for mine. I then changed it back to level 3.
