IOS 4.3.3 battery life has been significantly reduced

After installing the update IOS 4.3.3 the battery life has been significantly reduced. I currently own and iPhone 4. This was not an issue prior to the update; battery life was great. Have any solutions been found? Has anyone else found this to be an issue?

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2

Do a hard reset on your phone - hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. Let go and let the phone restart.

My iPhone has been having this issue depending on the software version. Some versions either have bad code for the battery usage, or they don't 'save power' in the same way for the same functions. In the course of 4 hours or talking for 1 minute, and the rest of the time not doing anything- it went down from 100% to 45%. I am going to try this when I get home, but you can give it a try too; do a RESTORE form iTunes. It is possible that the error isn't the coding, but the install going bad. However, if the problem remains after a restore; then I would lean in the direction of Apple rushing through the patch to address panicky people on the 'location issue' and not fully testing the patch.

iPhone 4... Updated to 4.3.3 and today my Phone lasted 6 hours and I only made 1, 3 minute call ..


My phone is only 3 weeks old and I already want my blackberry back as these hardware issues stink.


Apple may sell a lot of these, but their iOS is not the best thing I've seen.


How do I fix this? FRUSTRATING !!!!
