sucks for me... i was hopeful this would correct the battery issue... guess i'm going to have to take a ride down to the genius bar
You'll have to wait till after the release of 5.0.1 otherwise they will likely turn you away saying "it's a software issue that will be addressed in an upcoming release ).
Ok. 1.5 hours of music streaming from 8 to 9:30 am. About 10 messages back and forth. About 30 emails. 45 minutes worth of calls. Checked Facebook a few times, ran gas buddy and used maps to locate gas station. Ran speedtest a couple of times. Some time of random Internet browsing. Checked the app store for updates a couple of times. Took one picture. Typing this out...now down to 13% battery. 4.5 hours of usage and 7.5 hours of standby.

I started my work day at 100% charge.
Some questions that come up:
- 1) What was your usage and battery remaining at the end of the day before 5.0.1 b2?
- 2) Is cellular reception spotty currently, are you traveling more than usual? etc etc.
A single snapshot is only so telling unfortunately.
Have you tried the 5.0.1 release? There is a difference - 5.0.1.b2 is build 9A404; the version released today (5.0.1, released) is 9A405.
I didn't have much of a battery issue before, but this update is pretty good...
Standby: 3:51
Usage: 1:02
Battery: 96%
Yeah I just installed it. I'll have to see what happens. I still believe 5.0 beta 5 was the best for me. I'd get nearly 7 hours of usage time, as opposed to 4.5 at most on the final version. It was a 4 compared to the 4S I have now, but we'll see.
