Anyone got any idea what is draining my battery sooooo fast? I've had strong signal all day, for the most part minimal brightness..turned wifi of when not in use, didn't even play any games today... I left the house at 8:30 and it was dead at 6:45, before I even got home. Also, only made one short official today.

The built in LG apps are known to eat up the battery. If you are rooted, you can use NoBloat to disable these applications.

Here is a website that has a list of the applications that are safe to disable: http://androidadvices.com/optimize-l...ing-bloatware/

I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared to root it. This is my first Android phone.and if I screw it up I won't have a phone for quite some time.

I understand your fear, but if you read the directions closely and go slowly the likelihood of bricking the phone is small. Rooting by itself isn't too dangerous - the dangerous part is loading CWM and ROMs, and the risk will be greatly reduced when (if) we get CyanogenMod for our phones...

After CM9 came over to our Phone still Wifi takes a huge percentage of battery drain and usage. I have seen my frens Galaxy nexus and his wifi was on for 10 hrs still it was taking 3% of battery . in our case it would take more than 20% if its on for 10 hrs

I am on CM10 now and WiFi is still the biggest battery drainer by far..

on other phones typically the screen was using the most battery. WiFi is typically battery efficient.

My phone went from 95% - 68% with WiFi on (but not using it) AND while on airplane mode.

There is some issue with wifi drivers
