I gave in and carried mine into the Ver store today and told them about the battery issues, he takes the phone in back, comes back in about 5 minutes and hands it back to me and says try it now.
All he told me was something was installed that shouldn't be....? I asked but he just said some apps were running that don't need to be on all the time.
Now, I don't know if he actually did a damned thing or not but, wouldn't Watchdog have told me if something like this was up? The only other thing he screwed with was the display timeout setting which seems pointless if the battery is dying when I'm not even turning the display on.
Whatever the guy did, my Wifi has started working again now so maybe it wasn't a total lost cause.
He actually told me that 8 hours was all I could expect from it so apparently all of you getting better are outright liars..... either that or he's full of s---.
When I told him my Og Droid lasted 2 days he said it had a much bigger battery in it, he claims they've downsized battery life to save space..... I said BS and left.
I guess time will tell if whatever he did helps, funny why it had to be such a secret.

HAHA Please don't call the people here liars when you have a Verizon rep telling you they downsized the battery.
Droid3 battery = 1540 mAh, Droid battery = 1420 mAh
That guy is full of crap.
80% tonight. I take this as proof that the problem is the low signal I get at work. I did switch back to CDMA only. I think I'll try tomorrow with global just to see.
90% tonight with one phone call and one short video (stored locally). So the Global setting is not chewing through my battery when I have good signal either. Tomorrow back to testing other settings. Back to CDMA for now.
Back on blur and as expected, 60%. I am removing the calendar widget for today's test.
