navI, i have to say, at first seeing your batt stats on 5.1 i was skeptical on your usage/sb you were getting--but i see you have improved a good bit Good for you !!
(although i'm still skeptical about upgrading myself lol)
Thanks. A few people are still saying they are getting terrible battery life on their iPhone 4S (5.1 iOS). But, even my Missus is rather impressed with her battery life now. Before she charged daily, and now it is every other day...

yeah and i switch to wifi when its availableAre you on 3G (well AT&T's 4G) all day long? That usage looks pretty low with only 3 hours of usage and 8 hours of standby.
People really need to take these battery times with a MASSIVE grain of salt. They say nothing about what the user was using the phone for. Sure if you're barely using the phone for anything other than a few texts here and there you're gonna get a bigger number of usage hours, and probably a longer standby time.
These numbers don't take into account things like wifi, brightness level, reception quality, etc. If I spend all my usage hours playing Infinity Blade 2 at max brightness with bad reception then of course my usage time is going to be low! All these people who are supposedly getting huge numbers in the standby time or usage time are probably people whose "normal usage" is much less taxing than what someone else would consider normal, and on top of this they probably use their phone for much less battery-taxing tasks.
Don't be fooled by the numbers. Everyone uses their phone for different things and as long as it lasts "long enough" for you (this is completely subjective) then don't worry about the "better" battery life that someone else is getting. They probably aren't using their phone for the same things as you.
Now, now, let's not turn this into a depressing thread. This thread is merely a means of conversation, and seeing 'general' stats from the average joe user of an iPhone...
Don't read too much into it, i.e. their device is better than mine, or I'm doing something wrong with my device. This is just a nice outlet if you will, from the day-to-day issues that people have to deal with, i.e. life.
Let's not make it more than it is; honestly...
