This is awfully strange but my phone is not off the charger 10 minutes and it starts draining.. Is there a fix for this?.. I tried flashing the cell standby fix and it didn't seem to do much of anything.. I'm on Verizon any sort of feedback is appreciated thank you..

I believe it's because the phone doesn't have a trickle charge feature. So once it hits 100 percent charge, it actually stops charging. It doesn't maintain the 100 percent charge even though it shows it. I've found that if you remove the charger once it reaches full charge, it maintain the 100 percent for much longer. Hopefully this will help you out some.

I find that power save mode helps a bit but it drains awfully quick and it's irritating

I've had some weird battery drain on 4G recently. It's usually around 3% per hour, but it's around 6% without any use! Can someone help me?

The one thing I can see from your pics is that it looks like your phone is awake on a constant basis. That is what is probably causing your problem. Something on your phone won't let it sleep? This is what mine looks like.

This phone has amazing battery life! Better than my iPhone 4S, and I'm still using 4g! It just comes down to how you use it. I'm a heavy user. I use the Internet play games, text, etc etc and this phone lasts me all day.

I am getting very good battery life as well. Coming from a 4s I was a little nervous, but I go all day.

Here is my thread on what I do to start the day off right:

As long as I do this my battery goes all day. If yours is not, you must have a rogue app chewing up your battery. Do you have this issue on a fresh reboot by chance?
