Hey guys, I am new here and also new to iPhones, coming from Android. I searched up this thread because well, I am one of those who had battery issues.
I bought the phone around the end of November (Apple admitted battery defects around late October so I reckon they already sort it out with the manufacturer).
But still I am having bad battery life.
I am always on 3G, my area doesn't have LTE yet, so I switched off LTE and I also switch off anything I don't need like some background apps, and most of the location services. I never get beyond 5 hours of browsing with 3G. Maximum I've got was 3-4 hours of usage when using Facebook, Safari, a few calls, texts, iMessages and whatsapp. I get around 1 - 3 bars of 3G here, bad coverage area. Is it normal?
I've restored 3 times to 7.0.4 but its still the same.
Playing games (Real Racing, PVZ 2) with everything turned off gets me about 4.30 hours.
I never get the promised 8 hours on 3G browsing as promised by Apple. Curses!
Also, sometimes the phone heats up all of a sudden. I tried turning off all iCloud syncing and push emails and the heat issue is gone. I'll still have to monitor though.
Sorry for the long post, it's my first post, btw.
PS, I'll post screenshots once this charge is drained.
