iPhone 4s Battery Life?

Ok it seems that there is a bug with the location daemon, it doesn't shut off any location services automatically. Follow this tutorial and it should help you a bit, although we still will have to wait for an official update of Apple.

I have the issue on my iPhone 4s as well but haven't seen any problems at all on my iPad 2 since updating to ios5.

in these cases about the i phone battery problems, i found a very good accessory that is very helpful the name is case power ,, this accessory really increase your battery life this is the link http://case-power.com/

Sometimes, you only want a phone with maximum battery life. I managed to squeeze a lot more out of the older iPhones by disabling 3G and other services. Now, disabling 3G seems no longer possible on the iPhone 4S.

Suggestion to Apple: please bring back the possibility to disable 3G?!

I lost 75% in half a day with maybe 10 min of phone calls and 5 texts. BT off...

Need to charge it twice a day without doing a lot with it. Apple that's really bad!

Hey Kr4....I am not saying YOU should have to buy a battery case. It was just a suggestion. I plan to use my iphone 4S as a camera and video recorder alot instead of lugging around my dslr, so i thought about buying one anyway.

The beauty of having an all in one device, is that you don't have to carry alot of other stuff with you...but i realize heavy use as a camera will take a toll on battery life.

Regardless, i think Apple is working on a fix. And besides, not EVERYONE seems to be having battery issues. Which tells me, it is a solvable problem.

The dual core chip and iOS5 are probably responsible for the 300 to 200 hr standby drop. But 200hrs is still 8 days of standby. Factoring in usage, one would assume up to 2 days of battery life? To be honest, for an all in one mobile device, if i got a full days use out of one charge and had to charge every night that wouldnt be horrible IMHO.

My ipad first gen gets used alot, and i pretty much charge it every night to full. Which brings me to a question. Anyone have an ipad first gen and update to iOS5 yet? I plan on getting the ipad 3 when it comes out...but was wondering if anyone had significant battery issues after updating their ipad to iOS 5?

Thanks!

My battery life (iPhone 4S) ***** big time! I was down to 19% in one day and I made 3-4 phone calls with a few direction searches (on Google maps). My previous iPhone 3GS would go down to about 60% (40% loss of charge). This is not good at all - when I observe the battery percentage, it goes down pretty quickly without using it (some serious software issue).

Wait....you can't disable 3G with the iphone4s? I have a wifi/3g first gen ipad, and always turn off the 3g unless i need it in an emergency.

To not have this option in the iphone 4s seems odd.

Although to be honest, i plan to get the unlocked iphone 4s and put it on a prepaid ATT go phone plan since i travel alot. I may or may not get a data plan. But if i do, i would like the option of being able to turn it off.

Does anyone know how the ATT gophone data plans work? The 500MB of data on the gophone prepaid plan is $25 for 30 days. If you go over, since its a prepaid plan and month to month....does it just shut off if u reach your limit? Or does it keep charging you over use fees?

If so, I definiteky would want the ability to turn off 3 G and use only when i needed it. :-)

OK THIS IS THE NEWEST & WORST so far

My alarm which is not even set to go off went off @ 6:30 am I thought it weird b/c positive never

Set it...checked not set to go off couldn't turn off. Went to do complete off with top button

Did it turned on FONE again few min later same thing. This time I checked to see if it could

Be signed off in the menu bar..I did that..restarted and the exact same thing!!

now this is a FONE that is ready to get thrown out the window

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

Something is whacky BIG time!

I have also done the few often praised turn offs...calendar out of notif. Left on lock screen

Location serv auto time off

One other issue I find Siri often says whilst out and about "having problem connecting to network

well where is the G service for that? Never have I experienced so many issues in one new iPhone

As a normally very pleased and evangelical user BESIDES a most happy shareholder

I am very concerned about the plethora of problems, lack of apple solutions..(I might add with

Lion also) and the general nonsense about work around fixes

These operations should work all the time we should not have to modify and adjust as we go

On there new magical phone that at this point, which is very hard for me to say is a DUD

No matter how charming Siri is!!

The solution for now seems to be manually switching off the automatic time zone updates located at Settings -> Location Services -> scroll to bottom to System Services -> Setting Time Zone.

This is abysmal. I thought my Blackberry Torch ate through batter like crazy. My iphone is hardly making it through to the evening before its drained. I basically have to have it plugged into the charger at all times when I am at my desk to make sure that when I do try to take it mobile that I actually have battery life to use it.

Not only does the battery suck, but one of the volume buttons is loose and when I lightly shake the phone, or set it down, etc. it makes a rattling noise. After 1 week!

This is my first iphone, coming from several blackberries and I am quite disappointed. I have 7 more days to return it to the store. Going to look closely at the Samsung Galaxy 2 S today.

Unimpressed.

I have started a separated a discussion for those interested in sharing console logs or more technical debug diagnostics regarding reduced runtime issues:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread/3451594

If you don't already have the ability to look at your iphone console logs, there are several free tools in the app store as well as the iphone config tool.

Have the same problem with my iPhone 4S. Turned off iCloud and locations and seems to be better. But this is not really a long term resolution. Hopefully Apple will fix this battery problem with a software update!

I tested all tips for improving batery life, but the battery life of my iPhone 4s (t-mobile Germany) is still extremly poor. I am not a beginner in using the iPhone, had two devices (3G/ 3GS) before the 4s and as an iOS developer I know iOS quite well. But in the moment I am pretty helpless.

From today morning 6am to now 12.pm (only 6 hours!) only 22% batery life is left over and I had no phone calls and also didn't used the browser, the only activity were two text messages. With such a phone i cannot work with. I am pretty sure that the build in battery is not working properly.

I need help from Apple.

I have let mine die 3 times now and I am having genuine battery drain 😟
