Ok so I have figured out my battery drain issues, now I have to figure out what the cause is.

My screen brightness changes to maximum whether I have it all the way down or on auto brightness. Every time my battery starts draining fast this is the main cause.

My auto screen shut off also goes to never (this on is not as frequent)

Anyone have any ideas if an app is causing this? I am running gingerbread and the phone is not hacked....please help
