Battery life getting worse?

[Vacuus Dilectio]

I was on the preview build for 4.1 for a few weeks and it was giving me issues to the point where I just went back to stock (4.0.2) and then took the OTA to 4.0.4. I can't say for certain but I feel like my battery life has been shortened. I don't know if my head is just playing tricks on me or if there is something wrong here. I have the extended battery (2150mah? don't remeber and don't feel like taking it out lol) I get maybe around 2 hours of screen on time with auto brightness and gps on. I would say I'm not heavy user but I feel like I used to get more out of it. Sadly I never kept track of it before hand but I felt like I didn't have to keep an eye on it threw out the work day. Now I'm usually grabbing a charger for the last hour of work. Should I be concerned? Or is this just in my head?

Extend the battery life of your device with app called 'Easy Battery Saver'.

Are you in a weak 4G area or in and out of 4G? If so, the phone is constantly looking for that 4G signal and will drain the battery doing so.

I leave 4G off because I work in just a 3G area. I mean if this is typical battery life it is what it is but I felt with the extended battery I used to be able to squeeze a little more out of it.
