Q: iPhone 4S 5.0.1 Update Improves Battery w/ Settings Reset

sfiomenb,

that is probably a good idea. tell them the steps you have gone through. sorry it didn't work out. i am hearing that the are working extremely hard on this and should have annother update shortly that would not require my process. i am not sure that it would fix you issue which maybe the actual battery.  good luck

i replied to your other thread also, but seems to look fairly normal to me.  enjoy your iPhone!

I really wish it worked, and what is even more upsetting is that your method worked for basically everyone else except me.

 

Thank you, and everyone else who tried to help me, for your aid.

 

I hope the people at the Apple Store will know what's wrong with my phone. Do you know what would happen if it is a defective battery? Would they just replace the battery on MY phone? Or would I get a whole new phone? Would they be able to do this in the time I am at the store, or would it take a few days?

it hard to say what they will do for sure if it is a defective battery.  the battery is farily easily replaceable with the right tools, but they may just replace the whole phone for you.  good luck and let me know how it works out.

Thanks Davidch.  My battery life seems to have improved alot.  For you, here are my stats after my reset and full recharge after a full drain.

 

Usage: 3 hrs, 24 minutes

Standby: 2 days, 10 hrs

Current battery level: 17%

 

After thoughts:

Much improved after Davidch's fix, but I am still not impressed by my first iPhone's battery life.  Apple people, if you are reading this, my 4th Generation iPod Touch battery life and my old, first-generation iPod Shuffle battery life (and still going) are stellar and is what I am comparing my new iPhone's battery life to.  It would be AWESOME if iPhones were designed to have the same great lifespan between charges.  I know that this is still better than a lot of other branded smartphones, but still, I expect (and usually get) a lot from Apple.  Thanks for not releasing a 4G phone prematurely until battery life improves.  

 

Steve Jobs is the man.

your battery results look good to me.  it is very difficult to get a iPhone battery to perform like an iPod primarily because of the phone capabilities.  the phone portion has to continually communicate with the carrrier network (i.e. waiting for call, etc to come in).  the 3G protocal makes it even worse due to the data demands etc and currently 4G is much worse.  glad it worked out for you and to your last comment... yes he was something else

The update won't even load on iTunes for me it gets all the way to the end and ten says I lost the network connection. Do you or anyone know how to fix this? Please help! It took all te music of my iPod touch 4g and also says that I dont have any room available on my iPod touch whe I barely have anything on it, please help!!!

Are you running Windows with an Anti-Virus program running?  Sometimes this can cause that problem.  Disable the Anti-Virus or firewall program temporarily and try again. If successfull, be sure to turn it back on afterwards.  good luck!

I am going to take it back to apple and have them run more diagnostic test.  Thanks Davidch.  The help is appreciated.

that is probably a good idea.  be sure to tell them your have tried resetting all settings and recalibrated the battery.
