It sounds like this will not apply to everyone... but I had something happen recently that drained my 950 - it took me a while to figure it out.

I have a subscription to the Financial Times. Since I am in the USA, I usually get it delivered in the morning. On two occasions the issue was corrupt - and would not download. But my 950 kept trying for the whole night - and drained an almost full charge. The first time I didn't figure it out - the second time I was reading and noticed the 3g icon not going off for hours and the battery level dropping by almost one bar per hour.
