OK we MUST all have something in common.. I know it's not the phone because this is my second one.. Are we all on Sprint? Can anyone else confirm that turning on WiFi doesn't affect the drainage? (this seems most strange to me... could wifi be on while showing that it's off?) I have Never seen my mA under 200 and it DEFINITELY shouldn't be completely drained over night while nothing is on. We must have something in common.. I installed pimp package and clean tweaks.. you guys?

I installed clean tweaks but not the pimp package and am staying steady at 210. And I'm on Sprint. If I put the light on the lowest setting it goes to 200mA and that is immediately after a soft reset.

I have Verizon and without wifi enabled just idling I am having 294mA discharge. I enabled WIFI and connected to my home network and nothing changed for a few minutes and now it is jumping anywhere between 164mA-582mA discharge. I dont use wifi , NEVER. Also I have weather and Stocks set to manual download and My Live mail ' as items arrive' my YahooMail checked every 2 hours and my Gmail checked once a day.

Also I fully charged to 100% a little after 5pm this evening and it is now sitting at 59% after just sitting idle for the past 3 hours. I recieved 1 email and 1 30 second call other than that it has been in standby. In the morning when I wake by battery usually drops from 100% to 80% in the time it takes me to drink one cup of coffee and thumb through my emails from the previous night usually 8-10 emails.

Wow u guys with these problems might wanna try Memmaid and go to the processes tab & see wats running when u guys close out some of these programs. i usually use it b4 bed 2 close whatever might be running and sometimes find things in the background that i dont even recall activating. i also use it 2 close out programs that get stuck, avoiding a soft reset.

I'm in the same boat here. Brand new out of the box I had almost 48 hours standby time with 6-8 hours of use (2 or 3 of those was just playing music thru headphones)

The problem has really become bad in the past 2 days...

Today for example I took it off the charger this morning and it was at 6% at 9PM with only:
14 hours standby
2 hours usage
~15mins of phone calls

Over the last couple days all that I have installed is:
g-alarm
SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab
NoPushInternet_v2.CAB
QuickMenu

Soooo I wonder how hard it would be to get a replacement from Verizon right now... or how hard it would be to flat out return it with the dyed black battery cover and stylus? And covered with a full body Phantom Skin to boot!
