Can anyone explain my GNex battery issues?

[TimboSliceSliceBaby]

I use the extended battery, which used to get me through the day easily. But lately, this is what my battery looks like after only 6:45 of use: Photo Album - Imgur

Can anyone explain why my battery is dying so rapidly? The screen wasn't on all that much, and when it was, I have my background and many of my apps set to use a black background so as to use as little pixel power as possible. Still, the screen claims to be the main culprit.

Is it possible that I have a defective battery, (or worse) a defective device altogether? Is anyone else having battery issues that are THIS bad?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Depending on your brightness your screen could very well use that much. I would say check your apps running in the background set them to longer update interval (facebook,twitter weather apps). If your using Verizon turn off the 4g when not downing a app. You can drop alot of battery just from the 4g or hspa+ dropping in and out if you have bad reception. And if you just switched to the extended battery give it a few cycles to settle in.

Hope i helped

Did you update your phone to latest version of android? Which is the version?

Did you read through the Galaxy Nexus section to see if anyone else is having similar battery issues? You would probably get a lot more views by owners of your phone in that section. If you want me to move this thread, let me know (I might do it anyway JSYK).
