What's an average standby by battery drain per hour?

It all depends on what you device is doing while on standby. It can vary depending on how opten it polls for email or social networking, etc.
 
As an example, I have an iPhone 4, which is now perpetually in Airplane mode with Wifi turned on. It's at 66% or so after 12 days. I've used it for 1.5 hours to surf.


Edit: some moron down-voted me for this post. WTF?

In my experience, anywhere from 0.5% to 1% per hour is normal. I would say 10% overnight (assuming 8 hours) is a little on the high side.

Anything from 0 upwards. Depends what you have running.
 
1% for every hour?

My phone is on WIFI/3G with no background app running...just lying on the pillow next to me waiting to ring that alarm in my face when morning comes, and I would still wake up with 98%-100%

Thank you.
 
I usually charge it over night so I'm not sure.

It's ridiculous people seem to down vote anything these days.
