Power Drain

Good day all.
Need to ask a question, I am in a training camp this week, and today was the first day.
Phone had normal use, had some missed calls and txt messages that I could not answer/reply to.
In the afternoon, power level was at 70-ish/80-ish. When they ended the session, power level was at 30%, there was no usage from last I checked and it was probably 2 hours or so that it had gone from 70-ish/80-ish down to 30.
Any ideas of why that power drain could have occured?
Where I was was, the phone has strong signal. Oh and speaking of strong signal, it's great being in a city that the fast web data is actualy useable.

Did you 'test' your GPS while you were there and leave it running?

Nope, I don't use the GPS in anyways with the Touch.

I have the same problem as the OP. I think mine is due to checking my four email boxes that the phone dies try to connect every 5 minutes on each.

You could be in an area with weak signal. If your in an area where the phone is constantly looking for signal that will drain your battery, it does it to mine a lot.
