Well, after 3 days of great battery life, I decided to install 3 new apps:

I downloaded the update for LockBot Pro (LBP had been working fine on my phone, no significant battery drain), MotoxMayhem (game) and House MD (game).

Well, played around with the phone a bit, didn't notice unusual battery drain last night, put it on the charger and went to bed. I woke up and went through my usual routine in the morning. Finished brushing my teeth and it was down to 99%. Ok, not that unusual. Took a shower and checked it (less than 10 minutes later). It was down to 96%. Very odd. It had been unplugged less than 20 minutes and was down 4%?!

I got in the car to drive to work and along the way I got an e-mail, so I checked the phone when I got to a stop light. To my surprise, the phone was down to 93%! That is down 7% in 30 minutes or so! When I got to the office I immediately checked Spare Parts to see if anything was keeping the phone from sleeping, and nothing was showing besides Android System and home, and those numbers seemed normal.

I immediately uninstalled the "HOUSE MD" game (the last thing I installed) and rebooted the phone. It's been about 45 minutes since I did and my phone hasn't dropped a single percent. How frigging odd is that? I exited the game when I was done playing and had no noticeable problem with my battery last night.

I'm going to re-install it later on and see if I can replicate the problem.

Just thought I'd share this strange occurence.
