Used to get 8-12 hours depending on usage. Took the OTA 2.3.4 update and haven't installed any other apps or made any changes. Now lasts 3-4 hours IDLE.

Any ideas as to why?
 
It came stock with 2.3.4, just saying.

But, most users are reporting better battery life after update... Including myself, not sure what your problem is.
 
i also have better battery life with the update only problem i have is icon for battery in status bar giving wrong info , fixed it with puttin a bat widget so i dunno as well your problem. most i can tell you is make sure your bt and wifi and global functions are off an see if it helps. also *228 option 2 make sure your connected to the towers closes to you. if that dnt help ,root at own risk ! again at own risk im not telling you its a option you can void warranty or brick your phone. hope it fixes it or factory reset an see what happens
 
Battery life is only improved if your phone was mostly on sleep/standby. It no longer wastes a lot of battery while it's doing crap like "phone idle and cell standby". However, the firmware update, at least from my experience, doesn't improve battery life while the phone is in use, such as browsing, playing games, making phone calls, etc.
