iOS 7 battery life iPhone 5

[Bro-row]

Are you talking on the phone or using internet?

Mostly Internet, games, email and talking on speaker phone.

When you are using your internet are you on cellular or wifi?

I have noticed on mine that certain games I play use more of my battery than others. Especially the ones that connect to the internet.

Mostly wi-if, and a little bit of cellular.

When you set up your phone did you set up as new or did you restore from a backup?

Set up as new.

My battery life was pretty bad at first and now it's not any different than it was with iOS6.

I am consistently getting less than 5 hours of usage time. This isn't the 6-8 hours advertised. I have also tweaked many of my options to save battery life. Could I have a bad battery?

Can bring in and check. Before battery change. Phone was powering itself off at 20% 10% 5%. Would say if it staying on at those points it's ok. Mine now will go right to 1% before it turns itself off.

Haven't really been watching my usage stats. But after some good time now with iOS 7 I feel like my battery life is at least the same or maybe slightly better. No complaints. It easily makes it through the day and until bed time.

I have location services on (including Google Now), wifi on 24/7, 3 email accounts that push, and at least a dozen apps sending push notifications.

Mine continues to improve...

Mine has gotten better as well. I completed a few power cycles, turned off parallax, and limited the apps that background refresh or use location services. I keep screen brightness at around 50%.

Has anyone noticed that using the messaging application the battery drains quite drastically? My battery is not bad if I use it normally, but on those random moments I sit down and use the messaging application consistently, for 10-20 minutes at a time, the battery percentage drops like a stone.

Haven't yet gotten the 20% notification but powering down for the night...

Brightness at minimal (below 30%) and I have full bars @ -69 signal strength. I crossed that possibility out ages ago. It's odd...

This is mine today with mostly network usage. To be fair, it's going to last me the rest of the day I'm sure. Still, it's lower than what is like.

This was after I charged it up and put it on airplane mode and fell bac to sleep woke up at 7 and saw that it was at 92%. I thought that was strange for the phone to drop that much in that time with airplane mode. Now I turn that off and start my day... It's 9:02 now and I'm still
At 92%...

I have about 2.5 hours of usage time in between charges. I'm a heavy user but still, it was never like this on ios6
