The battery started barely lasting one day

I do not use it as an iPod, I check email but mostly it is my phone and used for when i am on on call to receive txt(I use maybe 70 txts a month)

So I started to charge via wall socket overnight...and my battery would last basically ~2.5-3d on standby with my normal use

Well this week, I am getting maybe 30hrs of use before needing a charge again....I maybe use the phone 30min talk, check email some..

FYI..in 3mo my total call time is 19.5 hrs with 17mg sent and 195mg received on EDGE(most of the 195mg occured in block as 100mg about 4 days ago and not sure why, it had been to that point at 96mg received)

I long along turned off push yahoo email, I have screen brightness very low

The last 2 charges my standby and usage times are equal(used to be like 2-3hrs on usage and standby would be 2-3days from last charge)

It seems something is running the battery down and i am at a loss

any help would be great

TIA
Check Settings> General> Auto-lock, and verify the setting. I usually set mine at 1 minute.
