II think it has to do mainly with wifi. When I switch wifi off, there's much less battery drainage. I know there was a change in handling of the wifi, because of the many connection problems. I think that's causing processes to be very active (eating a lot of CPU). 3G is better, but also experiencing problems in my case.

I have used an App called Crest. There I can see that some android features are working without me having started them. That's usually Skype-raider and org.Mozzila.firefox. Sometimes it's others like skydrive or soundcloud. I changed some settings there in those apps so they won't be always on, or continuously running. Then disconnect from data and/or WiFi. Restart Dalvik and open Crest again. Voila! They are away. You can now reconnect to wherever you want. I often use Dalvik restart when checking in Crest that something is running that I do not want it to. Sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes it comes back whenever I open any Android App. This usually helps me from battery drain, but yesterday there was something else that drained my battery and I couldn't find what it was. If it happens again, I will search more thoroughly.

I write about my observations. 3G and android application. some applications cause heating of the upper part of the smartphone. what it is and what has caused it is not clear, but probably poor optimization android demon. probably something in the android applications there is still something very devours battery causing heating of the upper part of the smartphone. to test the 4G has not yet succeeded, but 4G should devour charge faster by 15 percent than 3G. before the last update basked smartphone, but the charge did not disappear so quickly. charge dropped in three hours from 100% to 20%. use the Internet and android applications without downloading anything. only social networks and news feeds. not all android application heated smartphone.

the next step is to check the GPS HERE, android GPS Osmand and android app 2GIS using 3G or 4G.

For me I haven't experienced any heat problems lately, but the past days I have seen the battery empty itself very quickly. Just now I watched the battery drop from over 30% to less than 10% in about half an hour. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be going on with processes using up a lot of CPU or anything. This has happened on both 1.0.7.16 and 1.0.7.18. I have noticed that the Wi-Fi connection always seems to die after a while - it's still 'connected', but it shows no signal strength (the Wi-Fi symbol is completely transparent) and it's impossible to use any web services at all. Maybe the connection problems in the answers here and the battery problems here are related.

I had same issues after the update. Yesterday battery level went from 100% to 4% in 10 hours (without 4G).

I made a backup and restored factory settings. Installed every update. so far battery level has dropped 20% in 6h with same ammount of usage than yesterday.

edit. I installed new update for android-support and battery-level has dropped 4% in last 3h.

I just voke up and after 8 hours off doing nothing on the phone, the battery was drained. Red light was blinking. It was 75% when I went to sleep.

No wlan on Prefered 3G on

I had trouble turning it on, as even after keeping it on the charger for awhile 1%, it didn't want to start. Another attempt 2% i got it to work, I then started hunger meter/crest/lighthouse and the drain was +200mAh my computer usb power supply normally keeps it around -1000mAh even if something is on.

There was a proses running called "rild" that was using cpu, now I can't be 100% sure it was draining power. But that is the one I saw. After Awhile it settled back to -1000mAh even with HM/Crest/LH on..

Since the update I've noticed that the battery life is a little less than before: at the end of the day, the difference is maybe 20-30%.

Not really noticed the phone getting really hot yet.

But I do notice all kind of lag in using the phone. Sometimes the browser takes a really long time to load a page (on good connection), or it will freeze. I've also had the browser crash completely. The camera is also very slow, and zooming in and out in the gallery photos seems to be too much to handle at times. The user interface is also slow at times, not responding well to my input. And sometimes a whole bunch of active apps will suddenly disappear from the task switcher view.

Not sure it's related. Maybe I should start a new thread.
