Hi Pablo, Thanks for your directions on what has helped with the battery issue. I was hoping that I didn't have to go to that exreme. Between the iPhone 4, the Dell freezing, and the Win 8 not installing in Bootcamp properly, I am tech dumb for now. I have fully charged the phone this morning, lowered brightness to 10'%, turned off stuff in location services that I don't need, looked at all the different options under privacy that could be turned off, and I will see if any of this will make a difference. I am running iOS 7.0.6 and I didn't have problems at first with the battery, but I have been slowly going through all of the numerous app updates and may be there was one that triggered the battery hog.
Thanks again for your suggestion and I may need to resort to it.
