I bought a T-Mobile LG Leon about 6 weeks ago. For most of that time, I was getting 3-4 days of battery life with fairly light use, WIFI on, Bluetooth on some of the time. In the last couple of weeks the battery life has decreased significantly, so I decided to keep a log of the charge status. For this test, I turned off WIFI, Bluetooth, Location and Sync. Screen brightness is set to 48%, and screen timeout is 30 seconds. As you can see from the log below (sorry about the formatting, copied from an Excel spreadsheet), I am now getting just over a day's worth of battery life. During this test, I had no applications running.

Wi-fi off, Location off, Bluetooth off, Sync off, No calls, No texts.
Why it shows WIfi, YouTube usage percentages I don't know. During this test, Wifi was definitely off and I did not view any YouTube videos.
As you can see from the data, during the first 12 hours or so of standby the battery status went from 100% to 80%, which is not too bad, but during the next 12 hours after being turned off overnight it went from 80% to 10%.
If I recall, the specs for this phone specify that the battery life on standby is something like 9 days, so I am getting just over 1 day. Is my battery going bad after only 6 weeks or so? Or could it be something else running in the background eating up the battery?
I started a new test this morning with Wi-Fi turned on, Location turned on, and I will visit several web pages, listen to iheart radio for a while and do some other real world activities to see how the battery life holds up.
