sean76....I could not have said this better myself. I don't want to screw with my "developer settings"...I'm not a developer. I am a techie, but i dont want to spend all day trying to find a way to stop my phone from dying within 3 hours of being unplugged. I have went through so many threads here and on xda, i've killed everything I possibly can. I have a flippin black background, my mobile data is off, no widgets running, basically nothing running at all....and yet, i can unplug it at 100% and 2 hours later its half dead. I've owned an iphone, so it's not like i have unrealistic expectations of an awesome smartphone that will last for days without a charge. I just want to get through an entire day without a dead phone or being chained to the wall charger.
This is with no email syncing, no browsing, screen off, all tasks/apps closed, excellent coverage. The phone also gets very VERY warm. I've tried disabling wifi, mobile data, but there is no difference in the rate of battery depletion.
Please no flames....just looking to vent really as I have tried so many different things at this point I just want it to be done....I am either going to smash it and use my insurance to get something else or just be a seriously unhappy samsung user. also like sean said....really does suck. when the phone isn't dead, it really is awesome.

@ OP....Yup same problem here all over again with my phone dropping upwards of 50-60% while just sitting on my night stand overnight. This happen on my 1st unit a few weeks ago, and then out of nowhere 4 nights ago started with my replacement unit. I went through that BS with Better Battery Stats and dealing with all this nonsense with wakelocks, and codes, etc. I've honestly had it! I've had countless countless phones over the last several years between Blackberry, iPhones, l and Android phones and honestly have never ever had to deal with something like this. And if I hear one more person saying its just a false reporting thing I'm going to loose it....its real, its not a reporting issue, its a real life bug and Samsung ain't doing jack about it. I'm not rooted, nor am I rooting, I just want my phone back to normal and not have to wake up to a completely dead phone. Does anyone have a fix for this??
If there is no fix in sight, then I guess the best fix is a hard reset and to stick this thing on eBay and get rid of it. Shame because other then this issue, the phone is awesome.
