alright, so I have this issue too. and I think I know why. I use pandora and have never had an issue with it draining my battery. I removed facebook a long time ago. I have had system panel since june and this problem just started occurring on me last week.
so my phone was out for a bestbuy repair - new lcd. it took a long 3 1/2 weeks to get my phone. during this time 4G finally came on in my area. so when I got my phone back I started playing with 4g. I didn't even realize what was going on. but I started monitoring with system panel.
I found this suspend process to be my issue. I thought it might have been 4g as it was the only thing I have done differently with my phone. But I was thinking I might be crazy as I saw a process called wimax something at like 0%.
anyway I started a thread on it yesterday and mentioned I started using 4G.

see this thread section 1

so now that I know 4g kicks on suspend I can make suspend start and stop at will.
Biofall suggests not to use a 4g toggle and after using 4g you need to reboot your phone. he also says if you do use a 4g toggle. you may need to remove it from your home screen, then switch off 4g through settings - wireless networks and then reboot your phone.
I have been using a 4g toggle from switch pro widget. I turn off 4g through the widgets and reboot my phone. suspend will still be running. I then go into settings -wireless networks - mobile networks(set options for roaming) - enable mobile data always on(i normally keep this unchecked) checking it and then unchecking it again will stop suspend from running. I tried checking and unchecking mobile data always on without a reboot and no luck suspend still runs, this only works after a reboot.
I will be removing my 4g toggle and do some experiments with 4g using settings to turn it on and off.
I am also rooted and use switch pro widget for a quick reboot toggle on my home screen to make things easier.
so we are wondering if this 4g and suspend has been everyones battery problem all along? my phone has never had a battery problem like this since june. even with leaving pandora on.
I may quit using 4g all together if this is really the issue.
so how many of you guys turn on 4g every now and then?
