I love my Nexus One, but the battery life is horrible. From a full charge, hours later, I'll be at 75% having barely used the phone at all. If I leave it for a day, it's almost dead entirely. I've gone through settings, turned off the automatic syncs, don't have push turned on, brightness is down, location is off, wifi is off... can't figure out what's going on.

Sometimes when I pick the phone up after leaving it for a while, it feels warm, as if it's doing something. I've re-started many times, I have a task manager, and I kill every task often.. still, awful battery.

For what it's worth, the phone takes forever to charge as well. It charges about 10% every hour. Seems like something is wrong, no?
I feel your pain. Same story here. I had all the versions of the phone and was very happy with my iphone 3gs. The battery used to by around 65% before I call it a day with about 1 hour web usage , 2 hours music and about 30 mins of phone calls everyday.

But the tech nerd inside me made me switch to the nexus one.

The point however is that for the first 2 weeks I did not take a data connection and was using it only on a wifi and had a horrible battery life.

For some reason when i got the data plan with tmobile and starting using that the battery improved significantly.

Somehow makes me think something is wrong with the wifi module.

Try to turn of wifi and see if it has a positive impact.
