Is anyone NOT having battery trouble?

For anybody wondering. My Droid 2 is at almost 2 days with no charge. I haven't heavily been using it cause of work, but I've used the browser for at least 2-3 hours, sent a decent amount of text, and talked on a couple different occasions. I've light to moderately used it.
 
i dont know why everyone complains about the battery problem all the time !? wing it! go get two more stock batterys!. charge all of them win u get home everynight ... that is if you use all three in one day! pop one out reboot the phone!!!! bammmm all day action on the, phone, web and, overclocked whatever . its not like you are booting up a junkberry. all droids boot fast ... i ran three with the D1 and running three with the DX n never run out ... there small one in each fr pocket . there you go battery prob fixed dancedroiddancedroid
 
how do you get multiple days on one charge? i still barely goto the end of the day and i have extremely light usage, i visited 1 page, sent a bunch of texts (30 in and 30 out) read like 15 emails and sent 1 and it was down to like 70 percent after 10 hours (most of the time was down time, not being used)
 
i know iheartradio eats batteries alive. i just got the extended battery, and last night after a full charge, i played last.fm radio for almost 4 hours, and was still at 70%, today i used iheartradio for about 4 hours, and it was down to 10%. usually my battery usage is about 55-60% display and random misc. things but with iheartradio, it was 77% radio, and about 10% display, which says alot
 
Power seems to be alright on my phone. i just got it this week. it died quick at first, but then I charged it overnight and today between 8am and 6pm, it was down to 70% remaining with a typical day of usage.

Mine is mostly still stock, checking gmail and using Touchdown for corporate email. I have the screen brightness turned down and I leave the WiFi on as I use it both at work and at home.

I charge mine in the multimedia dock at home. I just checked it and it's been about 13 hours and I'm at 50%
 
um so a little off topic. but its still a battery concern.
my battery tends to get real warm when like navigation is going or i think lots of screen action. anyone have this problem or is this normal?
Rather concerned.

yeah thats normal if you are using hte phone a lot or charging
 
I have also found that to add to rebooting my phone in the morning after taking it off the charger, Beautiful Widgets seems to really drain this battery. I have installed Weather Widget Donate and have them both to update every 2 hrs and not to use my location, just zip code. I have noticed increased battery life this way. Took mine off the charger this morning at 630 with bluetooth, 2 exchange accts, 2 gmail accts, and about 2 hrs of phone calls and I am still at 80% after 6 hrs. That's not too bad.
 
my $0.02:

I got my droid last week and was having HORRIBLE battery life, i.e. charging it before bed and waking up to it being 70%, or being down to 30% after about 5 hours on battery.

last night, fed up, i ordered a spare battery from amazon (very cheap, btw) and then decided to do a system wipe to see if that would help..seems to have worked, according to the battery manager, I am currently at 60% after 14 hrs 46 min unplugged, with moderate use

we'll see if this lasts

EDIT

and on a *possibly* related note, my reception used to be spotty while sitting at my computer desk, switching from 3g to 1x randomly, it seems to have stabilized, reporting a strong consistent 3g signal in the same spot i used to have problems.
 
I was having a serious battery problem until I did the factory reset for the 5th time and didn't install Twitter. Then I'd be able to go all day w/o a problem. That is until yesterday when com.motorola.providers.contacts started sucking the battery dry. I've turned it off/on, pulled the battery, etc. and nothing. I have no idea how to address this.
 
My problem:

at 10% battery left after 8 hrs 30 mins...

display 46%
voice calls 8%
android system 8%
phone idle 7%
cell standby 7%
browser 6%
com.motorola.contacts.data 6%
android OS 4%
text messaging 3%
com.motorola.home 2%
wifi 2%


i leave the brightness on the lowest (off) and all i do is txt fb and some web browsing

my friend who has a droid 1 says she gets around 16 hrs before it dies doing the same stuff i do...

wtf
