I had the same problem and I found an interesting oddity. When I had WiFi Locker on a WiFi model with all the power options turned off, there was no power loss. When I had the same app on a 3G model, it sucked th epower totally in 16 hours. I have since uninstalled WiFi Locker and, so far, the 3G model seems to be holding the charge.

I think Locker is the problem. I had a power loss, I removed Trook and Locker, no power problem. I reinstalled Locker, problem returns. Remove Locker, problem gone.

I would guess it is overriding airplane mode and trying to active WiFi even when it is not active.
