Basically when you go to the battery use information and select cell standby there should be a Time on reading (mine is 31m 33s right now). If that is all you have then you don't have an issue. However, if you see anything that says time without signal (typically 50% when shown) then this may be helping to drain your battery. Doing the whole plug in phone, put phone in airplane mode, let sleep for a minute, take out of airplane mode and unplug seems to get rid of the 50% time with out signal. This also seems to have a positive effect on battery life and the number of bars you are showing.
