Battery drains fast!

Wow... Such varied results... What are you all doing differently? I'll post some shots and run tests as soon as soon I pick mine up! (hopefully, tomorrow!)

Anyone use Llama yet? Like tasker, but free! :) I'm thinking some automated settings would help! :)

Forgot to mention in my previous post, I'm using Android Revolution. Yes I am noticing an increase in battery with light usage.
 
Yesterday was my first day back it work with mine. So I could use it under my normal circumstances.

-11 hours off charge
-1 hour and 30 minutes of total use (lunch and breaks) for one call, SMS, web browsing and Tapatalk
-The rest of the day was spent in airplane mode
-Set ot CDMA only. No 4G or GPS
-Screen set at less than 50%

This same use on my Bionic and Droid X would still leave me with 70%+ by the time I got off work.

All I can say is give it time. I think we can all agree that just about every new phone gets better battery life after it's been out awhile and had an update or two. I have no doubt this will be any different.
 
Wow I love how everyone's b*tchin bout the battery life when most of the time I'd be lucky to get 10 hours on my phone!

I really hate you guys with your ridiculous battery life. I get half of that if I'm lucky, WITH the extended battery :(

All those screenshots show that those folks phones are sitting idle. Wouldn't worry about those for comparing usage statistics.

OK this is a screen from a coworkers new nexus... this is his first smart phone. I have no clue how this happened.

Pretty simple. He's charging it often but never charging it fully. Also if his phone idle is higher than his screen usage then he's not using it much at all. He should have bought a cheaper phone. :)
 
He did plug in USB to computer one time to test at work... I asked if he trickle charged and he said no. How he chooses to spend his money is on him. While I agree he isn't on his phone nearly as much as I am, I find it interesting that someone can get that kind of life out of a smartphone battery that is actively connected to a network.
