Can you post the screenshots showing the battery now?

Photobucket app and Quadrant wouldn't stop running so I removed them. Yahoo mail keeps running, too. Voicemail and Maps are running and I have the GPS off and haven't even used the voicemail yet. S-Voice likes to continuously run as well....
Do I need to return the phone for the EVO LTE? Or am I missing something?

LOL... Are you being serious? New batteries need to be "broken in"? That doesn't sound right.

I'll post this again since maybe you missed it. I think it would solve your dilemma. You seem to be on the wrong page with most of your assumptions. You keep talking about what is running. Yeah, if the phone is working properly there SHOULD be a ton of stuff running. That info is meaningless, as I said earlier. You need something to tell you how much cpu time those running apps are taking up. They can be running and taking up 0 seconds of cpu time, you know. My Nexus currently has well over twenty apps running, over forty if you want to count system processes. That info alone? Useless.

You still didn't tell us your screen on time
If your screen was on for like 3 hours+ then what you showed is typical.Cell standby is bugged on this phone and reports high battery usage for everyone.
I have the same problem. Just started last week with my nexus s.
My phone is down to 50% in 4 hours with no usage at all.
I think it is the exchange which is keeping my phone awake all the time.
The android os and exchange are each using 25% og the battery and I have not received a single email the whole day.
Last two weeks exchange has used 400mb in data usage but I have only received like 10 emails and I'm only syncing emails.
My phone was actually constantly warm, even with the screen off, until I installed juice defender which made it a litle bit better, but not good.
I guess there was some update that I got last week that messed things up.

So I was supposed to get my new phone today but Three messed up the delivery and have to wait until Wednesday.
In terms of the battery, charged it full last night and then in the morning turned the phone off as I had to pack it to hand to the delivery driver. As my phone was not being delivered until Wednesday I thought id use it until then. Went to turn it on and the battery was completley dead, despite the phone being turned off all day. Was shocked!!!
Must have a dud battery yea??

Probably it's a faulty battery, I can't see how a battery can drain so quickly when the phone is turned off.

I used to have alot of battery issues but it seems to be fixed. Currently on 44% after 9hours and 19min.
What I did was look at the Advanced Task Killer and I saw that S-voice opened itself up every time I killed selected apps. Since I don't use it I disabled the app altogether.
Also there appears to be a diffrence in between batteries. (I got a preorder package with an extra battery, charger etc.) After I drained the first one I went on to the second one and noticed the second one lasted longer than the original. So there might be something in that.
I also disabled the NFC android beam, S beam (why is this all on by default?) and other stuff I wasn't using.
And now the phone seems to be running for alot longer than before.
Hope there is some actual truth in this as opposed to simple coincidence.

Damn, my friend had his phone on for over a day (27 hrs I think) and he was only down to 61% (granted he didn't use it very much, but still outstanding). He's using it on the US AT&T network right now. Hoping for similar performance.

Lets give it a whirl....
I've found the battery life pretty good so far.. will know more after a couple of days though.

Yeah battery life is good. The cell standby issue, I think the cause is reporting.
Basically a guy on XDA says the battery profile for the SGS2 was the radio uses 2mA. On the SGS3 its set as 34mA. He pretty much stated this was an error on Samsung's part.
I decompiled my framework and removed the 4, now it looks more like this:

Could be you know. Battery seems decent even with the alleged high cell standby %.
