Heavy use

Battery calibration app deletes your battery stats file. Wouldn't that be redundant or am I missing something?

Oh, I didn't read the post. It may, but I choose to do things like that manually anyways, for a couple different reasons.

Yeah charge to 100, run the calibration, let it ride until it dies and charge without a break until 100 again. Done

the one I downloaded asks me to turn it on while charging first then let it run down

I think it may be 4g actually cause I remember running the phone on 3g for fun too, and this doesn't really happen. I wonder if toggling 4g on and off may help

It is possible that your battery percentage is lying to you, or at least is inaccurate.

Since I see that you are rooted, I would recommend that after doing the battery calibration you delete your batterystats.bin

To do this:

1) Download a terminal emulator, if you already haven't (or your ORM doesn't have a built-in one).

2) Once downloaded or opened, type:

1. su
2. rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

Combining this method with a battery calibration will help you at least a little bit.

This only happens if I have the large battery. With the small battery, the phone just dies within less than half a day

task killer?

I was thinking of just doing that. But I'm thinking the problem isn't related to a running task.

I think it may be a 4g problem.

I might try atk but everyone says they're useless

Thumbs up on the calibration. It worked well today. Used it all day so heavily at some points phone temperature reached 48.7 fahrenheit...and after about nearly 18 hours still on 45%. Big battery but still good. Didn't notice any unexpected drains.
Another factor was switching to 3g for the beginning.

That happens to me every day when I am at work and in a 4G area. Doesn't happen at all when I am home in a 3G-only area. Luckily for me, it "fixes" itself when I walk further into my building at work and lose signal altogether and then I walk back to my desk and it picks up the cell signal again.
