I have about the same experience. Fully charged it at 11PM, turned it off, made a call at 8am and my battery was at about 50%. I used no2chem's utility on the Diamond and it worked great. This one I don't know about. I uninstalled it this afternoon, will have to study this more. I am not sure if it was just an illusion because I was using the 1% view of the battery or not. Still not sure.
