Full bars with LTE off. Where can I change the iCloud backup? And how?
----------
Well it doesn't seem to be a problem on my iPad 3 because i'm getting 22h use and 2 day stand by... But thanks for the tip
AFAIK, icloud backup doesn't happen unless you are connected to power or execute it manually.
what services/apps do you have running? what are being sync'd to iCloud? i had read for some people Notes for some reason constituted a perpetual drain.
Photostream?
are you doing fetch/push mail?
Dropbox?
Evernote?
News apps like NYTimes that automatically download data? (i just realized that may be something going on that explains part of my 15minutes of usage overnight, last night)
10% is a lot over 2 hours (obviously) so i feel your pain. you very well may have a hardware issue.
for me, in airplane mode overnight, i get very little drain, so i know it is likely software and not hardware. hence, i'm trying a bunch of things to see what is going on in terms of consumption when idle overnight.
another thing to try is turn off wifi overnight. that might keep certain things from accessing the net if they are set to only work over wifi.

just a random question here, I saw a few post up talking about disabling LTE when going to an interior part of a building. I live in an area with no LTE service, should I just keep LTE turned off? Would it help in any way with the battery life?
maybe...
i don't know if the phone is always "looking out" for LTE when it's not available. i would say there is no harm in turning it off, and i could only help.
but someone more qualified might have a better insight into this.

If I put my iPad 2/3 in airplane mode I don't have that issue. And this doesn't apply to my iPad's. It also applies to my other android devices as well.
I'm running iOS 6.1 and before that 6.01 and my iPad 2 gave me over 5 days in standby and run time was close to 36 hours. Not too shabby.
wow! 36 hours! i get about 18 hrs regularly on my ipad 2, and i thought was doing well.
but yeah, the ipad battery life is amazing.
