So I was getting about four hours of 'awake time' before hitting 15%.
I did a factory reset to clear out the crap I installed as a first time Android user, then only installed the stuff I really liked and that was 'known' stuff.
I did the turn off the widgets and Blockbuster stuff that has been documented.
Then did the bump charge six times. With the phone on I charged it til green, unplugged and turned it off. Plugged it back in til charged til green. Turned on the phone til it was ready to use. Unplugged and turned it off again. Charged til green. Repeated that for a total of six times. Never did get the 'plug it back in and it's immediately green' thing.
Used it normally last night (not paying attention to the battery numbers) then charged it with it on last night. No bumping at all today.
And now today, with app usage and all web surfing and typing this post, my awake time is 1:24:05 and my battery is at 91%. Before it would be in the 70's. My iPhone 3GS would be at about 90% too after this much activity.
So for those that are having battery problems, try a full factory reset, turning off all the stuff as documented and several times at bump charging. It just might help you out.
