Help Battery: 30%, 9h 48m 14s Normal?

Is there something wrong with my phone or is this normal? I used it for around 3 hours just texting, calling, browsing a li'l, and 35 minutes making a phone call. Could this have also dealt with the loss of 1x/3g/4g and radios turning gray then to blue constantly?

This is what was being used during that time:
Voice calls 30%
Display 23%
Android OS 18%
Android System 6%
Cell Standby 5%
Facebook 5%
Phone Idle 5%
Browser 3%
Mediaserver 2%
com.android 2%
Youtube 2%
 
My first test day I was in a building with 1 bar of signal from 8am to 3pm (yes, it was a school and NYC Public Schools are almost all bomb shelters). I went from 75-40% life in that building. Mind you, the phone didn't die until 11PM that night. You might want to monitor the signal during the day to see if that is bouncing around thus draining your battery dry. I remember a dumb phone of mine at a work Site in 2003 that drained my extended battery from full to 1/4 in 8 hours with 0 phone use.
