Battery life issues?

[RichardC300]

I've had the stock widget off since I got the phone, so I can't comment on that one, but I turned off the weather widget yesterday, and I'd say it has helped quite a bit. Nothing major. I probably have 20% more at most at the end of the day.

Sometimes I remember I have a dual core iPhone 4s and not a single core iPhone 4.

Also, Facebook notifications are a battery killer right with gps.

iPhone Battery Life Flaw Confirmed By Apple; iOS 5 Update To Solve It

Don't know if this has been posted yet.

I have now seen mention of this today in a few newspaper article. Looks like Apple is on top of things and we will be getting an update sooner, rather than later. Since it looks like a bug has been found in the OS, I guess we can quit tweaking our phones and wait for the update!!

Many have suggested to turn off the GPS location for Time Zone setting. I did find that that helped for me.

That "Raise to Turn on Siri" thing.. after turning off, my battery is actually pretty good.

Lol I'm sick of all these little "methods" of improving the battery. I tried all of them and didn't help at all. So I turned everything back on and same battery life. Plus I bought an iPhone not an htc thunderbolt. All I ask is that the end of the day with moderate use I have at least 20-30% left of battery.

Anyways, I've been tempted to buy an app that smart charges the battery like battery doctor or battery boost magic. Im just skeptical about it. Anyone have some feedback regarding the apps?

Be patient. I just installed 5.0.1 and it seems to solve the issues. Battery is much better now

If you're that desperate why don't you load the beta?

for me.. battery life on a single charge has been averaging at least 12 to 14 hrs. I noticed it improved after I let it cycle down to where it powered off.. And then fully charged it. So if apple is working on a fix and it improves it more than what I have I will be even happier.

how many hours on a single charge?

The fix is available now? I just heard on Fox News that Apple said it will not be available for another two weeks. Where did you find it? Thanks!

It's been released to developers for beta testing. Become a developer and you can have it direct from Apple.

PM me for the link.

Scratch that you DO need a Dev Lic to load 5.0.1

What's a good or bad battery life for the iPhone? I've had it off the charged for almost 24 hours now and have surfed the web most of the time, sent emails, etc. so I feel I'm getting pretty good time out of it.

I usually get 24 hours with 7 to 8 hours of usage. I feel that is pretty good. When I let my phone die completely it'll go about 28 to 30 hours.

Yes, you do. Although there are some that got around this with iOS 5.0.

So last night, at around 3am, I unplugged my 4S and plugged in my iPad. When I woke up, my iPhone was down to 85%. Is anyone else experiencing this type of battery usage? My old iPhone would only be down to 98% when I did this before.

I can understand that during the day I a,using it a lot, but not when I'm asleep. Thoughts?

Apple is comming out with a fix for this problem. But in the mean time, go to Settings, Location Services, System Services and turn off Setting Time Zone. You only need this if you travel through different time zones. If it stayes on, it keeps getting your location to make sure it stays in the correct time zone. If you dont travel, you dont need it on and it will stay at the time zone you are in. This will help.

While you're at it, turn off all items in that menu. It will make a huge difference in batt life.

I did just that. It sure helped. Turned FB notifications off. icloud is on. notification center on sans weather and stocks. Drained it till dead. Charged with phone turned OFF. Turned on in airplane mode and charged until battery doctor told me to stop. Turned off airplane mode and slept at 12:30. Woke up at 7:30 still at 100%. PERFECT. Right now i am at 77% with 13 hours and 42 minutes since unplugged. I have been texting, playing words, and answered a call. 2 hours 33 min of use time.

Does taking the weather out of the notification center help that much with battery? I need explanation
