I can't explain this. I kill all processes and anything that is running.
All day, my Droid 2 sits on my desk in its great looking desk and shows charging and is almost always at 90% or above (depends on how much I use it during the day).
However, when I go to be at night, and turn off the lights. The Droid elves must come out and call china all night long.
Because in the morning, my battery charge shows 20% or under. and that should NOT be possible. Not only is it docked to the WALL Charger and not USB, so its got constant charging power regardless of the computer status..
And NOTHING is running on it. Nothing outside the normal. Email, etc. No extra apps. Nothing.
but it stays charged all day in the docking station, even with me picking it up and using it from time to time, but then pretty much drains the battery overnight when NOTHING is happening on it.
Any thoughts?
Any help?
Thanks
Gerry

This may sound stupid but is it plugged into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch? And you are turning this switch off when you go to bed?
I accidentally did this once with my laptop, thought it was charging all night but actually discharged because switch was in the off position.

Alas, yes. I have tried 2 seperate wall chargers, the USB port on my PC and another battery.
If I leave the Droid in the Multimedia Docking station, all day it will say Charging %100... then somewhere in the middle of the night it starts draining and by morning the battery is dead.
I also tried different wall sockets in case I was overloading a circuit.
But its still the same
Going to see if it happens tonight, just plugged directly to the wall with no Docking Station
