I know there are 100000+ threads in here so far about poor battery performance, but i am seeing some really really poor battery performance... and i want to know if im the only one.

charged my battery to full all night.. unplugged it at 7:40am this morning when i went to work. Streamed some music for 20 min during my car ride. Since then, i occasionally turn the screen on to check battery, NOTHING ELSE... 3hours since unplug, im down <40% battery power left... My 4G radio is on, and I know it sucks more power... but I feel like this is a little bit too much power.. i mean, literally idling for 3 hours has my battery below 50%.

anyone else seeing performance similar to this? im wondering if i have a bad battery or something, cause, this just seems silly.

on another note, i love the phone.. turning off my 4g and just using 3g makes my battery last all day, which is nice, but damnit i want my 4g!!

again, anyone else seeing poor performance comparable to mine?
 
Sounds like you have something syncing excessively. Check your Settings -> Accounts & Sync. If you have something like Facebook syncing every 5 minutes, that would definitely hurt the battery.

Also check that the GPS is not coming on. I had the SpeedTest program running my GPS excessively, draining a lot of battery. I just check for the icon on the top taskbar.
 
My battery life has been phenomenal so far. However, yesterday after a full charge I unplugged it and took a quick nap. 20 minutes later I turn it on and battery dropped to 70%! I rebooted and re charged and battery life returned to normal. No idea what caused it. I'm guessing something didn't close properly though I'm not sure what app would drain the battery that quick. So...if you notice this problem, try a reboot!
 
My horrible draining, sometimes 100% to 10% in 4-5 hours I think was caused by the app Tickle...check some of the apps you have installed. I also know Tango drains battery quick.
Tango killed mine in about 2 hours, and still was only getting 4-6hours and realized Tickle was installed from my D1 and all my apps backed up to the TB. Check some of your apps and see if any would constantly be "listening" for incoming connections like Tango and Tickle, etc.
 
so the reboot helped, but again, this morning i saw the same behavior.. the only thing that i didnt do after a reboot yesterday was start up AudioGalaxy app.. maybe that has something to do with it.
