My i5 battery lasts one to two days. My i5 has better reception than my 3GS and my 4s.
I use phone, email and web surfing.

You're right. I guess that drive by post was about anyone not having so many posts on here. I've learned a lot on sites and forums like this. Most of the time I just read cause there is nothing I could offer that someone with more experience hasn't already stated. Anyway I apologize if anything I said offended anyone.
The big issue is that the battery life is no good, i cannot get 5 hours out of my iPhone 5, make it hard when you are on the road all day.
the other issue is that the reception is not as good as the 4s.
in short if you have the 4s do not upgrade
Private, with all do respect, i uderstand your point here. But, heres mine: Since the i5 has been released there have been countless amounts of thread started by trolls and drive by posters with negative titles causing a "ruckess" that the i5 is a terrible device. Now, we all know that no phone is perfect - each will have it little flaws here and there. I also do realize that there are members here that truly have issues with either wifi, signal, accessing the app store etc. Those members usually post in an on-going thread seeking help, or at that point if there isnt one, they will create one. Now if this OP was truly seeking help/assistance, first i would tend to think they would've searched out one of the on-going threads in regards to battery life and posted there, OR if they really wanted to create their own thread, they would've chosen a better title - not something to bash the i5 right off the bat. To top it all off, the OP never returned.You know you don't have to read every thread let alone comment on it!
Actually, I tend to agree with Pink's observation... and we seem to get a lot of these "drive by" posts... folks who come in and take pot shots at Apple, or their latest device... but never bother to stick around and try to find answers... or even ever post here again... OP is pretty typical - nothing specific or quantifiable, and no follow up to explain or seek help...
My comment about the "drive by" was not directed at you... there have been several similar threads started by people for whom that was their first and only post... in this case, it was the OP's ONLY post on the entire site... he didn't even stick around to see if anyone offered any help at all.
That said, there are many here who, like Pink (and others) who do try to help... and sometimes our annoyance with the "drive by" behavior comes out in a comment.
And please don't take any offense, as it was not intended... we all started with our first post... stick around, read a lot and post when you do have something to offer... it's how you learn and how you become a part of the community.
Yes, just configure your device with your iCloud credentials and you're back in business.Question, When setting up as new can I still use the cloud to sync my contacts and calendar?
do you have apps that constantly update your location (Foursquare, Twitter, Passbook, etc.)? Do you have push notifications setup for Twitter, Facebook and other non-email related apps? Do you stream audio or video a lot? If no to the above then I suggest you plug your device into iTunes and restore as new.I am one of the few that after unplugging in the morning, only get five hours of use and 8 hours of standby on my battery. My service indicator does not show LTE it only shows 4G With at least three bars anywhere I go, I am on AT&T.
Seeing this was really helpful. Also, the 4s is half the price in the market now. So it really is smarter to buy the 4s.

I actually like them because then you see the real answers when 1 person says it's bad and 20 others say it's fine. Hmmmmmmm which one would I believe? lol
