Battery problems? Don't think so ;)

I used to decent battery life but over the last week I've experienced problems. While at work last week, twice my reception cut out and my battery drained because my phone was searching for a signal. Now, today at work my reception was fine and battery life was normal. Then, I downloaded a game (didn't open it) and my battery drained from 91 to 25% in like 2.5 hrs. Isn't that odd?

I call BS. Unless you don't use the phone at all it wont last 2 days.

On Thanksgiving day I did not use the phone at all. It just sat there for 5-6 hours. When I checked the battery was down to 63%.

Even my old BB Storm wasn't that bad

Not bs...I've been using the crap out of mine since about 7am this morning (about 8 hours) and I'm still at 59%...that's with watching several videos on YouTube too. On a normal day, I'll have around 75% left by bedtime. In order to use one complete charge in a day, I'd pretty much have to use the phone non-stop. 2 days with average usage is definitely not bs.

Oddly enough, I feel like my battery has gotten better lately. With a jb'ed phone running IntelliScreenX, push mail, and more, I got home from work today (seven hour shift with some mail checking/game playing/twittering) with 98% on my phone. I was so sure it was a bug that I did a respring, but it was correct.

Loving my battery life, though usually it does use more than that.

I've heard of this happening with the google + app also
