Battery went from normalbad to worse

Suddenly my battery suddenly only lasts 2-3 hours of doing nothing. That's not making calls, GPS disabled, screen off, full bars with tower visible through my picture window (well, in the winter anyway; now that the trees are leafy it's not quite visible, but still full bars).

Battery usage is reported as follows:
Cell standby: 50%
Phone idle: 49%
Wi-Fi: 2%
(Yes, that adds up to 101%. Rounding errors, I assume.)

Cell standby shows "Time without a signal: 0%"

Any guesses or troubleshooting tool recommendations? Only thing I can think of is I disabled a bunch of services a few days ago, but none of them should have that affect.
 
r u overclocked with my kernel? that could drain battery quicker. also, if u havent done it already (assuming u can live without it ;-) ), turn off the options in the sync settings. u will get significantly more battery life. also, u could save some juice by using a cpu manager to turn down the clock speed, if u r willing to sacrifice some performance.
