idle battery usage

[d1ez3]

When I wake up in the morning and unplug I notice a lot of idle battery usage. Looking at the battery monitor widget my phone is using 460Ma just sitting there doing nothing at all. Last night my idle usage was around 70. After I reboot the phone is goes to normal and there is no drain. Anyone know why this is?
I recommend everyone get battery monitor widget it really tells you everything about the battery

Batt life hasn't been the greatest for me either. But you never get something for nothin. 4G does like that electrojuice. I just got my TBolt yesterday and I'm already thinking about an extended battery

I've noticed restarting sucks up the juice as well. I lose 15-20% on a restart!

Or try current widget.

It can be toggled back and forth to show either battery percentage or charge/discharge rate. It can even create a log in a text file to your SD card for you that can log your discharge rate however often you want. I have mine set to log the rate every 60 seconds when testing certain things and all that polling doesn't seem to affect battery life at all
