iPhone4 Battery Life: Post A Usage Screenshot
- we have to see a screen of that, because that would mean your getting double what the rest of us are getting. And some more info on settings, brightness, sound on/off ect. I would like to do it your way if thats what your getting.07-09-2010 04:45 AMLike 0
- Duvi - come fix my i4!!!! hehe Not going to repeat my setting again, I think they're in my last post on this thread. The one thing I have not done, is let it run completely out and then recharge from there. Thats my next step. I'm trying so hard to get my battery life up!!07-09-2010 12:05 PMLike 0

Brightness is default, no vibrate, several push notifications, no push email, sound is on and in fact I stream music several hours a day as evident by my usage. I send lots of text messages and run IM+ or Trillian IM constantly. I am running on 3G network, but mainly use Wifi because I have access at home, work and many other places I go. I also use email via Google Sync, along with my calendar and contacts syncing. Again I use fetch for email one time an hour, and I don't use push email. I stream Pandora or Slacker almost constantly. I also don't use Bluetooth, so it is off. Location Service is off and I only turn it on when needed. I also have my Wifi set not to search out new connections.

My screen shot is at twitgoo.com/17rg3q
I'm going to pay a visit to my local Apple Store to see if they can add any insight to my situation or give me a new phone. After two weeks of scouring the interwebs for similar stories, I can say that although there are others experiencing poor battery life, the overwhelming consensus on the battery in the iPhone 4 is positive. Hopefully, I can get in on some of that Apple magic soon. (-:07-09-2010 10:32 PMLike 0 - Okay here is my latest screen capture that I did in the wee hours of the AM when I got home.

Because his example of the car shows what it thinks your gonna get, the odometer whould show what you got. The info he gave was great i just think he was under the impression that the screenshot were guesses not actual usage.07-10-2010 10:07 PMLike 0
- I think the only real variance to all this is probably our talk times. Lets face it using these phones on 3G uses up battery pretty good. I guess the only other thing folks could compare is their talk time from day to day. I probably talk in total less than an hour a day on my phone. The rest is email, texting, sending IM's etc. So it my estimation those that aren't getting the life I am are probably talking a lot more than I am.07-10-2010 11:18 PMLike 0

- The battery life depends mostly on your apply of apps, I leave it quite for the most part of time, the result is that 3 days passed, the battery record indicates 90% of the total.07-19-2010 03:58 AMLike 0

- I don't know if this was said or not, but could how much free space you have on ur hard drive affect battery life? I have a ton of music and only have about 4gb left on my 32 gb i4. I average about 5-6 hours usage with heavy usage ( i think 7 hours was my max).08-03-2010 03:17 PMLike 0
- I'm convinced about one thing. Let me explain. I jailbroke my ip4 then decided against it, after my battery life immediately started to exhibit increased drain. So I restored from backup. Since restoring from backup my battery life has continued to drain faster then anytime prior to jb/restore. Only time it seemed to operate better, was when my ip4 was setup as a new phone. There is some connection between restoring backups and reduced battery life. I had the same weird connection on my 3GS.08-05-2010 03:08 AMLike 0
- maybe but i roll with like 5g left on my 32g and i just pulled 9.2h yesterday. i was podcasting, trueshuffling, gaming, and arranging my apps only thing was i was on wifi all day so i think it was adding two hours. i would have made 10h but at 9.2h i forgot and sat it on my ihome to blast some music forgetting that it charges lol i had 12% left. but with 5-6 h i think its just that your brightness is like 60% or higher. lets us know.08-05-2010 05:58 AMLike 0
