iPhone 4s Battery Life?

My iPhone 4s battery seems terrible! Almost equivalent to my 3GS and it's terrible battery life. When I got my iPhone yesterday and restored from backup I noticed nothing really changed with minimal usage and standby! Is this normal or should I consider setting it up as a new phone because maybe something is running in the background that's causing it to drop a percentage every few minutes under light usage? Input would be great!

There is no need to connect your phone to do a screen capture. Simply email the capture to yourself. If you plug the phone in and then do the screen capture, it will show "Phone has been plugged in since last full charge" This will make your experiment USELESS, as you'll be unable to prove how long it was plugged in. Many won't believe your numbers, including me............

yep for u its useless for some it is not..lol.. i said it before everyone's opinions are diff. so believe it or not this is the fact. if you want to explore more and know more about it just do research and experiment on your own. my conclusion is correct for some specially for ME bcuz i already tested it and try it alot of tyms. dif usage of the phones results.see other threads.. not only dis thread. i already posted some experiments. if ur not satisfied for the result and u dont beleive to this one i dont care.. but i beleave to my experiment couse i already try it.. so i know it..hahaha.. AND BTW even if you plug ur phone it will not revert the stat. it will revert if it is reaches 90% of your charge.. u dont know that? lol.. still continues for the stat.. but not accurate at all so i said it will not be accurate.. read again! hahaha

like i said again.. READ it.. u make ur self ignorant at all.. haha.. even if you plug ur phone it will not revert the stat. it will revert if it is reaches 90% of your charge.. u dont know that? lol.. still continues for the stat.. but not accurate at all so i said it will not be accurate.. read again! hahaha qoute.. " it is not accurate at all for 1% battery cuz i plug it for 20seconds just to upload ur screenshot demands!

Can you prove it was only plugged in for 20sec? Can you PROVE your phone wasn't down to 5% battery remaining and you plugged it in until it reached 44%? There is NO need to plug your phone in to post a screenshot. hahahah! I don't believe you can prove anything at this point.

u need common sense..lol.. we dont need proofs here even your claim has not having evidence yet to call ace and me a lyier. b4 u said screen shot i mention it was on 46% w/ 6hrs usage and 3Days.. i got my screenshot @ 7hrs usage and 3Days and 1hr standby already. @44% when i posted it there is already 3% diff. do you think your claim for 5% charge up for 44% is a valid for less than 1hr of charge in a PC connection only. the charger has a fast charge in a DOCK for 2hrs after that your battery has 70-80% full then it will be gaining energy normaly and adding 2hrs to be full. so even you has no proof that i plug it for an hour b4 i post may screenshot that in the first place u only demanding it less than an hour ago.NICE POST =P

800+ pages and probably over 16,000 posts....... Only a few posts claiming a week or more between charges, and every one of them I've seen so far shows the phone being plugged in since the last charge.


To me, that is evidence of lying, misleading, whatever you want to call it. You can post anything you want, but you have proven nothing with your screenshot.

nice try but that last one i screenshot was not the first,.. like i said again and again if u still having problem w/ my post i dont care.. and again READ first. 800+ page and u dont have the ability to understand what others explaining.. lol.. shaime on you back to grade1! hahaha.. read first b4 complaining. like i said again im on experiment on dis.. these one is not my first one posted here.. infact i expirence also that my battery performance is low like others i post screens and solution as for my expirence.. not on your expirence.. i will stop my claims and reply for u cuz i knw u got no common sence at all.. u cant see others point of view.. u only replying for your nonsence claim..haha.. i said again B4 i dont blieve in ace claim but now i know why ace claimed he can do 8days in his battery. if you want to knw the truth TRY it for your self. not only posting some Trolls. u need to expirence it b4 you believe in it. and that's what i discovered. i dont care in ur believe and claims cuz i got my own OPINION. and u got yours. so better to other to decide what they believe.. no dictations. as for me @my usage:7hrs 28mins &3days& 3hrs standby for 43% now.. (less) 1% for not being accurated. btw as for my claims why i need to lie in my self when i knw im not cheating w/ may battery stat. just posting here for others to help. thats all.. peace- =D
