From the screenshot, my signal is spotty, but with no 3G and nothing really constantly updating, what else could it be?

Thx for any tips.
Did you just finish charging the phone before reboot? Or did you check the battery level at the time of the reboot? Just 8 bars out of 8 doesn't say much. The bars aren't fully linear and go in big steps.

If your Wi-Fi is off and you haven't been to Wi-Fi at all since last reboot, then the problem must be something else.

But if you have been very actively browsing on 2G, that may cause something like that amount of battery drop. Not sure. But you can experiment with the device on idle to see if there is any excessive battery usage there.
