I have had my phone since mid- October. Today, unplugged at 4:30 a.m. it was at 100%. Not using any apps, no apps running, wifi on ( as I usually have it) battery is now at 53% ( 8:00 a.m.) Never had it go down that far that fast. Any ideas? Usually, with the way I use it, the battery goes for most of the day. Went down 1% just in this posting.

Sorry Iphone 4S, on Sprint network, bone stock, usually charge overnight. I unplug it at about 4:15 a.m and the battery usually goes till about 6-7 p.m. until 20% warning comes up. I make about 4-5 calls a day, use it to check email at work ( on wifi) and have it on wifi at home. Today was just weird in a sense that it was at 100% when I unplugged, didn't really notice battery use, didn't do anything different, all apps had been closed, and it went to 86% by 7:00 a.m, and 53% by 8:00 a.m.. I turned the phone off, turned off bluetooth and location services and now (10:30 a.m.) its at 43%. Any ideas?

Just to clarify, when you say you have no apps running are you including those which show up in the recently used apps list? I know from experience, for example, that a GPS navigation app that's left on when you switch to another app will continue to run in the background. That will eat up battery quick. I'd just make a point of closing any apps in that recently used apps list to be sure.
