Wow, is 4.2.1 this bad?

[iluvifone]

I've been using my iPhone 4 on 4.0.1 since I got it in the summer, and I updated to 4.2.1 yesterday. When I went to go sleep last night, I noticed my phone had 97% battery charge, so I decided not to charge it overnight.

When I woke up this morning (slept for 8 hours), the battery was down to 47%!!!!!!!!!!! W T F is all that came out of my mouth. How?!?!

I haven't jailbroken it yet or installed anything crazy, and the only app i had open (according to the multitasking window at the bottom) was Photos.

What do i do?!?!?

reset all your settings because that is NOT normal.

did you restore from a backup? or did you set up as new phone and then sync all your data?

I haven't synced anything yet!! I set it up fresh because I was using my brothers laptop last night, but wow.. I charged it up to 100% since i woke up, and its been sitting on my desk for ~20 mins, and it's already down to 93% lol.. wow

Yeah, this isn't normal by any means. I'd reset everything, make sure you have bluetooth, location services, etc. all turned off.
I can leave mine up with bluetooth running all day and not lose 7%.

Maybe try to restore it again.

That is by no means normal, I lose about 3-4% overnight.

Some kind of background process is all I can think of. Did you recently install a new app that uses location services, background audio, or VOIP? For navigation apps, you get that little icon in the upper right corner to let you know something's running in the background. I wish that would also be present for VOIP, too, but it doesn't seem to work that way yet.

Yes, it's that bad.
