So perhaps that could be causing an issue, the locking of the pp?? Just a thought (I have many, most are completely useless but the occasional thought is solid gold )
That's my general consensus now that you guys seem to confirm that the battery drains during lockscreen. So, something is running during lockscreen right? Else, why would the battery drain?

I can't live without lockscreen on my PP so I'd rather loose a few minor updates for better battery life and use of lockscreen with the older Dec '09 firmware.
