From 100 to 0 in 7 hours

Very strange, maybe. NEVER had a problem with battery drain on the V20. But last night into am, it went from 100 percent to 0. Picture my surprise when I woke went to check time and said couldn't turn phone on because of low battery and it showed 0 percent!!! Only thing different is I installed Firefox Mozilla browser 2 days ago. It did show Android System @ 26%; Phone idle 8%; Android OS 6%; Wifi 2%; Screen 2%;
Home 2%; App Shortcuts 1% (don't know what App shortcuts is, as it never appeared before). Same with Home, that never showed battery usage. Anyone have ideas? Thanks ahead of time.

Problem solved; Talked to Verizon and this is what they told me: "Henry: I checked the system, seems there was a network update on the phone that got stuck. Since it was trying to communicate with our towers and couldn't, since it was a constant connection it drained your battery. A simple restart of the phone will correct your problem which it already did by draining the battery." The thing though is, my phone always has good connection/coverage with Verizon. -89dBm typical. (4-5 bars)

OMG, this EXACT thing happened to me last night!!!!! I can't remember what I did when I laid down in bed. I remember laying down and then nothing. But when I woke up late and found my phone, ZERO power!!!

Oh and for me, it was within five or six hours!

Happened to a lesser extent on my Verizon one last night. 55% to 37% overnight. I thought something was hung on my phone, so I did a system cache wipe this morning. Hopefully whatever it was is fixed.

One of the fastest ways to run down your battery is having it searching for signal. (that may make the phone hot as well) I have had this on Vzn branded phones.

Turn off automatic updates, gonna keep on checking for updates and kill the battery. Just check for updates manually.

This wasn't a regular ota update. It was a "network" update, where the phone got stuck trying to communicate with their towers. I always keep auto update off.

Was your phone plugged in?

No, never keep my phone or tablets plugged in overnight. I charge them before retiring for the night.
