What could cause that? Also, how do you turn off data?
To figure out what is happening we will need a lot more info. What is your normal usage patterns: talk time, app usage (streaming etc and how long), SMS/MMS usage, IMs on or off, email types and settings, signal quality, etc typical to your routine. How long do you go between charges and at what percent do you charge back to full? Do you do any partial charging like take it off the charger before it is full or top it off at all? Do you or have you ever let the battery run down so that it auto powers off? If so how often? We will start here and then try and pin point anything that has changed in your routine or new to your pre that may be increasing your drain. I'm told shoutcast and one or two other streaming apps cause a lot more drain than would be expected. Twice as much power being drawn during use compared to pandora. Also one expects nothing to draw more power than talk time and talk time is 4 hours (25% per hour). In fact just about everything you do with it shouldn't even come close to drawing as much power as talk time. Unless perhaps there is some sort of unusual circumstances or something else going on that isn't normal.
