Do you have screen brightness on auto or set to a percentage.... auto will drain your battery faster. What programs do you have running in the background? If wifi is on and your not near wifi then your device will constantly look for wifi and that too will drain your. battery.

Anything unusual showing under battery use (Menu, Settings, Battery)? Did you happen to install any new apps around the time the increased battery drain started? Any noticeable change in signal strength (poor signal can cause increased battery drain)? Are you using the stock Samsung 3100mAh battery or a third party one (trying to rule out bad battery)? Also, below are a few apps that help troubleshoot what's going on with battery drain:
