In my post #25, I stated that I thought that something was running in the background or did not shut down properly and was causing the battery to drain. Well, through trial and error since I posted, I think I have found the nasty culprit. It is email.
While doing an email check on edge, I had a rather large email that had attachments seem to get stuck and would not fully download. I skipped that one because it was taking to long and opened up the next one which had completely downloaded and went about my business reading all of the other downloaded messages. When I went back to the large one it still had not completed. I clicked on the home button, then put it to sleep. What was happening is that the large email was still attempting to download thus, kept running even while in sleep and on a freshly charged battery...took it down 25% in 2 hours. The only way to get it to stop was to (as I stated before) power off for about 30 sec and then turn it back on and my battery life returned to normal.
I am not saying that everyone with a rapidly draining battery has this exact same problem but I have seen a few of you do the power off thing and find that it has fixed your drain issue. This was my troubleshooting efforts to discover why at random times my battery would all of a sudden start draining. If it does, power down for 30 sec and then turn it back on.
Hope this helps some of you. Good Luck
