I conditioned the battery yesterday "I let it drain all the way down 2x followed by 2x Full charges"

And check out my LTE Speed! OMG I'm so glad I left Sprint.
The two wifi test were not from my house, but a car dealership. PWND by LTE.

After a couple of weeks, I'm getting nearly two full days of having the phone off the charger, with moderate usage..
 
I'm at 84% with 1hr 8 minutes with display on at 30% brightness and 40 minutes of words with friends taking up 74% and 14% respectively.

I get outstanding battery life when not using it. Like last night I charged it to 100% and took it off the charger right before 12am. I let the phone sit over night with wifi running and it dropped to 97% when I woke up at 8:35.
I hear people all the time complain of shotty battery life, but mine seems to be doing just fine. Obviously the SLCD is going to suck more juice than a SAMOLED and I have seen that first hand with my brothers Samsung GSII but I'm more than fine with the battery life of my phone.

One odd thing I did find about this phone and it's battery reader is my phone may be at 100% for an hour. I'll be listening to music on it for 25 minutes and then it'll just drop to 99%, but from then on it drops 2 or so percent. It just seems that the battery drain reader is really disproportionate. I've only had this phone for 6 days so hopefully it'll break in even a little more!

Also sorry to bring up a somewhat dead thread I just had to share my experience first hand.
 
My battery was great in the beginning. I have been using GO Launcher Pro EX for a while now and added several more widgets. My battery will drain at least 30-40% overnight. I have to charge it at least twice per day. I can't say for sure when the battery drainage started, so I was hoping for some advice. Right now my battery shows Display 33%, Cell Standby 20%, Phone Idle 18%, Android OS 8%, Android System 2%, etc. I'm not sure how the phone being "Idle" can use 18% and Standby 20%. Any ideas on if it is the Launcher, Widgets, or some other setting I need to tweak??
