Something is draining my battery overnight

All,

Something is draining my battery really bad overnight. I charge my phone to 100%, then unplug it before I got to sleep. I wake up the next morning (7 hours later) and my battery life is at 45-50%. I check the battery usage app and all it shows is Cell Standby and Phone Idle both at around 25-30%.

I have tried turning GPS off, lowering the screen brightness all the way down, but it still drops to the same battery level.

The only thing I can think of would be Gmail app. I sometimes do get emails during the night that get pushed to my phone, but I dont think thats a big deal.

Any ideas?

Hows your cell signal? Poor signal drains the battery faster.

Re: Something is draining my battery overnight

Why the hell would you charge your phone and then unplug it when you go to sleep?? Do you sleep walk and need directions from your phone to get back?? Keep it plugged in and when you wake up it will be fully charged!!!!!!!
