Okay, I've been getting about 21+ hours of battery life with regular usage (about 14 or so when I stream iHeartRadio for my long drives twice a week) - no problem there. After snagging a screenshot of my battery life last night (shortly before it hit 22 hours), I put the phone on the charger.
I woke up this morning, unplugged the phone, and went to the gym. I came back an hour and a half later and I had 66% battery life!!!
I had done only ONE thing different: I left the phone on the charger all night instead of unplugging it after it being fully charged. With my battery life now having the same issues many of the 920 owners are experiencing, this leads me to believe that either Windows Phone 8, or Nokia's battery, does NOT actually shut off the charge when it is fully charged. It is my understanding that most devices these days have a safeguard in place and stop charging once it is at 100%. What if Nokia and/or the WP software doesn't have this safeguard?
I'll give it a few more days, ensuring to unplug the phone after it's fully charged (and never charging overnight again), and see what happens. If battery life continues to suck, I will exchange it where I bought it (Microsoft Store). If they won't let me exchange it, I'll just return it, come back later, and buy it again. I bought if full price so I have 30 days
