I really appreciate your helpful instruction to all of the iPhone users here. But it is different from the way we should solve this problem.

I have not seen anyone post what app was causing it, or which of Lawrence's steps were causing it. Just jumping right to a "restore as new" may help some, but not not others. What I'd like to see is more "I reset network settings and it fixed it". Or "I restored as new and only installed my apps a few at a time. I found it was the 'I love twitter app that caused it'"... The only commonality I've picked up on is Exchange 2010 activesync.

I agree that Apple should have a solution. My best guesses as to why they don't are first, that it doesn't affect millions of the 70 million, it affects a few hundred or a few thousand at best. When a problem affects millions of users (as the baseband problem in 2.0 did) the boards have tens of thousands of posts, not hundreds. If anything there have been far fewer complaints of this problem with 4.2.1 than there were with earlier releases.
The other reason is that it isn't one problem, it is many different problems. The SYMPTOM is consistent (unusually heavy battery drain), but the fact that different solutions work for different people means that there are many causes.
Between these two it is likely that Apple cannot reproduce the problems, and if they can't see them in the lab they can't fix them.
