Alright, here is the facts:

I've had this model phone for 2 weeks.
Yesterday I got a replacement phone because my old one had a dead pixel.
I kept (and I am using) my old battery, charger, SIM card and SD card from the old phone.
My GPS is off.
My wi-fi is off.
My mobile data is off.
My screen brightness is the lowest.
All syncing is off.
Background syncing is off.
I deleted all of my apps except CurrentWidget.
I have rebooted several times.
My battery is stuck at 35% (if that matters), it wont go down.
Battery info in settings>power doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.
I downloaded some $3 app to track CPU usage and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
On my old phone, I never had any of these issues.
On my old phone, I had ~30mA power when idle (meaning screen off).
I am consistently using ~125mA power when idle (meaning screen off).

WTF. Anything else I can do?
I'll try a full system reset but I doubt thats going to do anything.
 
Install System Panel and see if you can find something using alot of CPU.

Edit: nm.. that's probably what you referenced.

Yep thats the app I used, nothing unusual there. It idled at about 15%-20% CPU, is that normal? I'm going to do a battery pull right now.

Battery pulls sometimes help. Are you on 3G or 4G? And is your upload arrow going crazy?

I'm in a 3G area only, but I turned mobile data off, there is no network connection at all.

Battery pull didn't help, drawing 122mA idle.
 
How do I reset the SIM? And the battery cover is on all the way.

Pop the battery out. There's a little metal drawer at the bottom (I think there's an arrow that says "SIM" or something). Use your nail to slide it out, pull the SIM out, pop it back in and close the drawer. The drawer is prety fragile, so be careful. Make sure it's snug, pop the battery back in and close the cover.

Did it right now, booting.

I performed a factory reset.

I am currently drawing 128mA idle after a factory reset. What a load of crap.
 
Dang... I've just let mine settle sometimes and it seems to calm down on its own. :(

I'll give it over night. its been like this for 24 hours+ though already, I guess I'm going to verizon tomorrow again. for them to ship me another one... ffs
