iPhone 4s Battery Life?

> You cannot turn off the 3G radio on that device - ever

How about enabling airplane mode?

Yeah . I would get rid of it if I were you and move on. Its clearly way to stressful for you to have this device and heaven forbid if you "forget to plug it in". I would complain to Apple again if that happens and tell them you should not have to remember to plug it in. I mean what were they thinking right?

Ok not that i really care, but curious. How are you taking the results xenocea is currently getting with a new iPhone that is completely up to the posted specs, and turning it into he STILL has a bad iPhone because 2 years from now it may not be the same. Really!?!?!? Clearly you are just looking to complain about at this point. You really should sell or return your device because i am 1000% sure no matter what Apple does with a software patch or hardware replacement, it will not work for you and you will then say "well what if in two years I forget to plug it in and it only runs for 1.5 days, what am i supposed to do then?" Get rid of it now! You are way to stressed about a telephone and what it may or may not do for you 2 years from now. I dont think its worth all that. Just sayin. I promise, if I were that dissatisfied with anything, i would not have it in my possession. There are too many choices available in cars, phones, TV, or whatever else to own one that bring you that much misery.

Oh and i noted up to because apparently you choose to read into the posted specs what you want and fail to acknowledge that every single post you make.

Well if you do the math his phone is almost at max spec. Will it be the same in a year, probably not. I think Apple states 80% after 400 cycles is what to expect.

Do you mean up to 80% after 400 cycles? Right? Please, note the up to?

Also one should note that these numbers are from Apple so they are super optimistic and one should take them with a ton of salt!

Rember the spec is up to xxx for each feature.

So, this means that in a year from now his iPhone 4S will last in exactly the same conditions up to 24h (i.e. 80% from 30 h) according to your estimations/post. Will Xenocea be happy with this? I know that I would not be!

This is incredible bad engineering (i.e. it would not last even one full day [i.e. 24 hours] after one year of use) for such and super expensive phone like iPhone 4S!!!! One should realise that if iPhone 4s battery life lasts less than 24 hours then it means that if one forgets to charge the iPhone 4s on one evening then next morning the iPhone 4s will be dead and the alarm clock of the iPhone 4s will not even ring to wake up the person! All it is needed is to forget to charge it one night!

One does not have pay a premium price for a phone in order to get such a miserable battery life! There are cheaper iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4) which have much better battery life!

Shortly, the iPhone 4S battery life is miserable and it will be even more miserable after a year of use! I guess that after two years one could could use the iPhone 4S as a fix iPod!

@sbailey4

Look, this forum is for complains regarding iPhone 4s!!! Right? So, yes I am complaining about iPhone 4s! If one has problems reading complains about iPhone 4s then he or she should read something else and not tell people here not to omplain!!!

I cannot get a refund from Apple because I didn't return the iPhone 4s in 14 days! I didn't return it in 14days because at that time I thought that in few weeks Apple will release some software updates which will fix the battery issue and thecstatic noise issue. I was so wrong about believing this! Also I cannot sell either my iPhone 4s because it is a phone with a lot of faults (static noise, battery issues, audio issues, ...). Who wants to buy an iPhone 4s with static noise? You? I would be more than happy to sell it to you for the full price Apple sold it to me! Also why should I sell at a loss my iPhone 4s because Apple sold me a faulty phone? It is not my fault that Apple sold me a iPhone 4s with a lot of issues and I think that I should not loose money because of Apple's mistakes!!!

So, until I get a full refund for iPhone 4s I will be here complaining about iPhone 4s!!!!

Yes, that is true. I was actually talking about selectively shutting off the 3G radio, and even trying to differentiate between turning off access to it and turning it off completely (yet there may be no difference between those in practice). Furthermore, I read now it's possible to reenable wifi while on airplane mode - I didn't know that - so that would shut off cellular data and the 3G radio for calls/sms completely from what I understand. Mind you this is not the same thing as using the 2G network for data and calls, which is what the 3G toggle in 5.1b3 allows you to do - which gives you mobility outside of wifi while using a less power consuming paradigm. Anyways. Good point.

@sbailey4

As it is the situation now with iPhone 4s and its battery life one had to charge it every single night, every single day, 365 nights a year!!!

If one forgets to charge iPhone 4s one night then one is screwed badly because most likely iPhone 4s will die on him next day when he or she expects less!!! After a year when the battery worn down the things will be even worse because if one forgets to charge the iPhone 4s one night then iPhone 4s will die during that very night and it cannot be used as alarm clock!!!!

I understand you are here to complain (its obvioius). Others here are here to find solutions and still others to provide solutions. So take your iPhone back over and over until you get one with no static. Then sell it on ebay as soon as you get one that works!

Your last complaint was for another user whose phone is operating as spec. So you threw in "well what about two years from now?" So clearly that is an absurd complaint (even coming from you enx). I am sorry all you can do at this point is write foolish posts and you feel like you cannot get Apple to replace the iPhone or sell it and move on. As stated all over the place they are working on software updates to address more of the battery issues and until its released all anyone can do is wait or keep writing the same complaints over and over and over and over and keep stating "no fix in sight". That is just plain false information.

What fighter game could you guys play over 3G? enx23 vs. sbailey4 - would love to see a video of that on youtube! Then it could be posted here! With the respective battery drain!

OK so dont forget! BTW, are you now stating that any other phone out there will not have the battery degrade after 1 or 2 years? ONLY iPhone 4s battery will not last forever but all other phones the battery will last as long as you have the phone? Once again, not anyones elses fault if YOU forget to charge your dang phone. Especially if you are fully aware there are some issues with battery life currently for SOME users. I would think you would carry your charger in your pocket with your phone since its as bad as you say it is. Not sure how you would forget since all you talk about is how bad you got it with iPhone 4s.

I have managed to let you pull me into the pit with you. I am climbing back out and going back to the task which I monitor these forums, to help and offer help to folks not debate stupid what ifs. What if you forget to fill your car with gas, is that Volkswagons fault too then? I mean they said you could drive up to a week on a tank of gas, so...................

I think you are worrying needlessly. Both my wife and I have made a habit of charging our iPhones every single night. We have never experienced battery problems as a result, beginning from the original iPhone.

If the battery were serviceable, it would be even less of a concern though.

I mean, if the teardown revealed a complex multi unit setup like in the iPad, I'd understand, but with the iPhone, it just begs to be serviceable...

@Jameson!

You an your wife are charging your iPhone 4 every night. Right? The battery life of iPhone 4 is around 3.5 days. Why are charging every night?

@sbailey4

The battery life of my iPhone 4s is miserable compared to iPhone 4! One can get iPhone 4 which is cheaper and has a much better battery life.

The battery life of my iPhone 4s will be even more miserable in a year from now just because it has been short to begin with!!! Even the year after iPhone 4s had been launched there is no oficial fix for the battery life issue of iPhone 4s!!!

How much time does Apple need to fix the battery life issue of iPhone 4s? How long will it take Apple to fix the static noise issue in iPhone 4s?

You talk as if you are away from any way to charge a phone all day, every day. It is possible to charge the phone from a vehicle, or at work, at least for most of us. I get good enough battery life for two days, with normal usage. It is also possible to get a pretty good quick charge from any computer with USB, by turning off the phone (not just the 'sleep' switch, but a real power off). That way the phone gets the maximum charge in the minimum time.

As for the normal degredation of the battery with age... How long do you plan to keep your phone? Normally, a properly used Li-Ion battery is good for at least 3 years before the charge level deteriorates to the point where you will notice it.

This may be an issue for you, depending on your lifestyle, but it isn't for most people, and it is pretty much a normal situation for any smartphone (save maybe the new Motorola Razr Maxx).
