"Android OS" sucking up all my battery?!?!

I rarely see the category "Android OS" under battery usage, if I do it is at around 3% at the most (usually). The other day I noticed that after 2 hours my battery was half drained (normally lasts me the day) without me using the phone at all.

I checked battery usage and "Android OS" was at the top with 80%. I have NEVER seen anything get up at the top other than "Display" and "Voice Calls".

This went away after a reboot then showed up a couple days later. My battery was less than 50% after 2 hours.

This is happening again today, and I rebooted yet it seems as though it is charging very slowly.


Any one have this happen to them, or know what it is, or how to fix it?
