iOS 5.1.1 battery on 4s thoughts

so if I restore as new but then restore from a back up immediately after, does that negate what i had done when i "restored as new"?

Exactly. Just defeats the objective.

figured. thanks! So then how would I get my contacts back on? Everything else I don't mind doing on my own. Outlook?

Back up with gmail account then sync back after restore or back up with iCloud.

If your contacts are on iCloud then all you would do is turn iCloud on, on your phone once you restore.
If you don't use iCloud then backup your contacts on Outlook and sync them back when done restoring
on iTunes.

Good signal is definitely a friend of good battery life. Came home to visit my parents this weekend and have only had my 4S plugged in while driving places listening to music (which hasn't been long trips) and I'm sitting at 52% this morning!!

I notice virtually no difference in upgrading from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. I have however noticed a pretty significant difference between the z4 and 4S. I guess there's more horsepower under my 4S's hood so I'll live with it.

Definitely a HUGE improvement since I restored and set up as new last week...

Finally hit a day. There is some sleep time in there but it has held up well. On wifi for most of it.

Been hitting one day almost consistently no matter if I was on Wifi or 3G...I am fully convinced the new update did fix the battery issues.

My usage seems to be higher during my work day and I haven't been at work since last Tuesday. I go back tomorrow and I'm gonna shoot for a day of standby.

After finally being able to upgrade and jailbreak iOS 5.1.1. I must say that apple has finally fixed the battery standby drainage. With this version of ios, my standby have greatly increased. I'm not sure if usage have improved much but having a great standby time will results in slight increase in usage time. Before the update, I would be lucky if my phone lasted more than 12 hours without having to charge with my normal heavy usage.

Are you guys experiencing the same results? Keep in mind my phone is heavily loaded with jailbreak apps/themes and this stats is a result of heavy normal usage not iPod playback. Screen brightness at 60%.

May I ask what font are you using in this screenshot?

I also have to agree with the standby battery issue sometimes seeing that my usage time and standby time always said the same even though the phone was not being used. But since then it has been fixed.....

Is it the same with pictures?

 

[precon22]

Yeah !!

 

[taylorz_412]

has anyone noticed an almost immediate drain of 2-3% once removed from the charger? my phone tends to go to 98% within ten minutes of just a few texts, sometimes when not doing anything at all. if i reboot the phone, it goes back to 100% and then the drain seems normal. it appears the battery indicator isnt showing correct levels unless rebooted once removed from the charger at 100%. anyone else??

It happens to me every once and awhile but other times it stays at 100% for 30 mins even with checking news and twitter

yes, this is more common than people think. which really makes me question the accuracy all together

i have noticed after i have cycled my battery it improves but eventually starts again. we just notice it because we are staring at our phones all day/night but to the average user they're not going to care or notice, which happens to be the majority of iPhone users i am sure
