Android OS Drains Battery !!!?

[Joe Blu]

I have a Nexus one and i updated to gingerbread about a week ago, since around then ive been noticing that the battery life has has been drastically drained,
Ill leave a fully charged and happy phone by the bed when i go to sleep, and when i wake up its chewed half way through the battery.

And heres the weird part, when i look at the "Battery Usage" stats in the settings, its always the 'Android OS' thats taking up all the life, ranging anywhere from 50% to 80% sometimes it calms down on its own but, this really is'nt acceptable !!!

apparently this isnt isolated either, >Google Forum (from lasy year)

Should i be downgrading to Froyo?
Is that possible?
Is there a . . . Cure?
Why is this happening?
Please Help!

I have noticed the same thing, about a week or two before the GB upgrade.
I am hoping someone can help us out with understanding what is going on.

Did you guys check apps running?

Yup, all the usual stuff, nothing more or unusual other than the OS itself. I thought it might have something to do with the Gingerbread update but apparently Davids been having the same problem, Before the update. . .
I was really starting to love this phone. . .

I've checked the apps and the only ones listed are LauncherPro, Antivirus, and the Folder Organizer program. I rarely see the Handcent app listed there. I am beginning to wonder if some app(s) is hiding somehow in the Android Operating System. I don't know if that is possible though.

My Nexus One had 100% battery life at 9pm. I woke up at 6:30am to a battery with 38%; and under what has been using battery:

Android OS 63%
Cell Standby 10%
Phone Idle 9%
Anti Virus 5%
Maps 4%
akmd 3%
Display 2%
Wi-Fi 2%

I had done a wipe and start new before the GB update, I think I am going to do it again today. This just doesn't seem right.

Just for check I will do the same check usually I charge mine overnigt, unplug it at 7 AM and I'm usually ran out of batt around 6 .. depends on the usage .. but I would do the test and let you know ..

After this posting, I plugged my Nexus One in to charge. I checked these stats again and it has not registered being plugged in to charge.
10h 22m 39s on battery.
Shouldn't this have reset since it was plugged in to charge?
