25% drain in 1 hour?!

One question though. I see your phone was not awake for most of the time. Why is that? Mine is awake 100% of the time.

I have no idea, I don't know what it considers "Awake," because it shouldn't be awake when I put it to sleep...? Right? My nexus was just sitting on my nightstand most of the time, I dont know why it was awake or not awake at times.

I think you nailed it - it was trying to find a 4G or 3G tower, and was likely switching between the two. The Juice Defender app will automatically disable your data upon connection to WiFi - that should solve your issue. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with plugging it in everynight, and I definitely would.

I looked at a couple different apps, and I settled with Llama, works great for me now. I just wish I didn't have to resort to that.

If your screen was on for almost two hours you shouldn't be at all surprised your battery drained that quickly. Seriously. Common sense.

So you think that 3-4 hours is an acceptable battery life with the screen on at its lowest setting??? My playbook could rock hd video for 8+ hours at over 50% screen brightness, granted a much bigger battery. But still, I'm not enjoying this constant threat of killing my battery every time I "use" the phone. As I said before, there are many things I love about this phone but if I were to jump back in time a few weeks I might be sticking with Blackberry and get myself a Bold 9900. 50/50 toss up for me at this point. I still love it, but it's not entirely what I expected, and coming from Blackberry there are many aspects that the Android OS can't compare.

I think that signal loss is a large part of the battery drain. The other major problem with this phone is the low signal strength. I am always around 35% wihout a signal and I think that during that time it is stressing trying to re-connect.

Call me crazy, but it doesn't take that much effort to rack up 2 hours of screen on time. I accumulated 2 hours and 9 minutes of screen on time today from a 20 minute call over Bluetooth, answering 2 text messages, checking some trip details on TripIt, and some sporadic perusing of the Android Market.

I've noticed since I put the new leaked radios on my phone, the Android OS has been eating 30-50 percent of my battery. And signal is no different then with the old radios.

Could you suggest an alternative Clock/Weather widget? I enjoy having it on my home screen, but not at the cost of the battery. Just uninstalled...

HD Widgets is a lot better if you like to have a flip clock. Have you noticed how ugly the flip clocks are on "beautiful" widgets? there's 2 issues with it. The numbers don't look like they bend in at the seam with the background, and, the background takes up too much space.
