Re: i know why battery life sucks so much!
I noticed the same just this morning. I have been using a 6700 charger and like others, 100% never held for more than a few seconds. I used a Blackberry charger last night and the charge held at 100% for about 20 minutes. The reading still went down faster than it should have for the first hour or so (about 4%) and then stabilized at 1% to 1.5% per hour.

Edit: Update. I used the Blackberry charger for a second day. The results were not the same. Battery reading within a few seconds went to 98%. I plugged it back in for another hour and the battery reading within a few seconds went to 97%, then to 94%. There is no consistency here.

Neilson, I sure would like to know if the heat issue is related to the CPU running high. My device does not heat up and the CPU always hovers around 1% at idle. Have you installed a CPU monitor? You may find something.
