Help Battery issues

First of all, sorry for this thread as you're probably annoyed by all the questions about battery life on X10, but my problem is strange as the battery has been behaving erratically this last week or two.

I have an X10i for almost a year now, and battery life was always an issue at some degree but it improved over the time, especially with Android updates. I'm not a guy that uses phone multimedia almost at all, only wifi from time to time when I'm out for a coffee and want to check emails and stuff. And even that is done in minutes.

Week before this one, I charged it on Sunday after 6 DAYS AND 17 HOURS being unplugged!!! I couldn't believe it myself. It's normal for me that it lasts about two days comfortably with standard use. This whole last week it can't last a whole day...

Last night I've charged it up to 100%, it was unplugged during the and now it is 40 % after some 15 hours, but there was no usage at all during that time... mind you, everything is switched off, bluetooth, wifi, 3g, gps, etc.

So the question: Is the battery gone? (I've done that *#*#4636#*#* thing and it says that battery health is good)

p.s. Sometimes when I plug it, it won't charge... it shows as it is charging, but percentage still goes down
 
I have exactly the same issue. Even with all 3G/Wireless/GPS etc turned off and while plugged in the battery looses power. I have to turn the phone off to get it to charge up.

I had thought it was a HW issue but as you have the same thing at almost the same time.....

I use ADW with Advanced Task Killer killing non-re-spawning apps (HATE THEM, Why do I need Moxier Mail and TMobile Top Apps running 24/7?) I have the screen brightness right down and it still loses power while plunged into the charger.

X10i - 2.1-update1 (Installed just weeks before this issue)

Edit: Did the 4636 thing...

It's almost 24 hours since I last time charged it fully, and now the battery is 73%. Baffled!

It may be the a consequence of a new OS that I flashed... I flashed my phone with CyanogenMod 7.0.3 ROM that runs on Android 2.3.3 on Saturday. Though it was still leaking like crazy these past two days, maybe it needed for OS to settle in properly so it more optimized now? Dunno.

I guess... I'll just ignore it from now on... it is somewhat tiresome to think about that :)

Always takes several hours (like 8 hrs) for the phone to settle after a OS reload....to get itself organised.
