Any chance you could tell me what this bump charging is? I think my battery is draining too quick while I'm not even using my phone as well. I can't open the link because for some reason here at work they block it...

Well, here is an excerpt from that link:

Bump It. Or Should You?

One technique that has gained popularity in the user community is "bump charging." To bump charge a device, turn it off completely, and plug it into a charger. Wait until the indicator light shows a full charge (on the ADR6300, for example, the charging LED changes from amber to green) but do not yet turn the device back on. Instead, disconnect and immediately reconnect the power cord. The device will now accept more charge before saying it is full. This disconnect/reconnect process can be repeated multiple times, each time squeezing just a little bit more into the battery. Does it work?

As far as your battery drain, bump charging will not cure that. It could be something else. You would need a battery monitor app such as GSam battery monitor or Better Battery Stats to check out what is using the battery.
 
U gota remember its a percentage, not an actual amount mate. You could reset batt' stats and instantly, screen would be in the 70s
 
Thanks man, understood.
I ran cpu spy to make sure my phone wasnt being kept from deep sleep by Light Flow or Flip Case Control.
The FCC dev actualy gave me the apk for free to test as he didnt have JB yet :)
