iOS 4.3.1 - Has the battery problem been solved?

After a dozen or so attempts, eventually managed to upgrade to 4.3.1 though now experiencing terrible battery drain.

Will consider some if the options here and on the other posts.

It is frustrating that Apple don't fully test their products before unleashing them on their loyal customers!

try to restore it again .. it worked for me that way
another restore won't take much time but it can solve the problem
but i wonder why you took dozen attempts to upgrade .. ?!

We definitely need a statement from apple regarding this issue

No solution yet. I'm just very frustrated about this issue. I wasted too much time trying to find one...

Hey Apple, mind your customers or they'll find other companies products!

You're right, same thing happened to me. Fixed it, will report the effect on battery life.
Thank you anyway.

I have the same issue. My phone has died the last few nights and lasts about 8 hours. Frustrating when you use it as an alarm. A local news station should do a story, nothing gets a companies attention more than if a story comes out " iPhone users complaining of battery drain" that'll press the release time of 4.3.1. Apple, you need to get 4.3.2 out quickly

I'm very disappointed with Apple. The same issue here.
Iphone 3GS, before 4.3.1 battery was ok. Now with this version it only takes about 7-8 hours to discharge completely.

Please it needs a patch urgently!

4.3.1 didn't solve the buggy push connections, but they can be remedied by the user, this is annoying, try this -

Go into settings>store, tap your email and sign out
Open up the phone app, click home button, then kill the phone app in multi-task tray

If you use NetStat, doing that should leave you with No TCP Connections active or idle, if you have Push turned off for your other apps.

The problem with these buggy connections is they keep transmitting data to your phone every 10 minutes or so, which drains battery, increases usage in standby and makes your data usage go up.

Apple can fix this, hopefully they do... eventually.
