The battery loses more power on standby than stock, although it seems to get a little better use while running. I have trouble noting the differences because the battery drops in large chunks instead of small, steady bits like with the stock battery.
I did accidentally let my battery die the first time I discharged it because the battery level readings can be off by as much as 20% (mine died showing 13%). Since there are so many good reviews on the battery, I bought another one to see what kind of results I get. I will be much more careful with the second one and get back to you all with the results. For now, I would advise you to keep the battery from dying at all costs.
Some of your issues may have more to do with the reporting of the data, vs the actual facts. The phone is probably reporting the % battery based on the expected capacity of the stock battery, rather than the larger capacity of the new battery. And I doubt that the battery has anything to do with the temperature report.
