Q: iPhone 4s Battery Life?

mulitasking on a phone is for dorks.

Really? What a peculiar idea. If you don't like phone that multi-tasks, why would you buy one that does? Very odd behaviour.

And as for multi-tasking not working well on any platform, it works brilliantly on Symbian, and has for a long time, so you are completely wrong on that front...

4S/64GB/White/AT&T/SER C39GLxxxxxx

I returned the black one I bought Wednesday yesterday hoping for a better chance...oops.

The new one has the same problem.

So far, here is what I did:

I watched it drain while I stood there in the Apple store and waited for the phone to hit zero and turn off before plugging it into the wall charger.

I have a battery app called Battery Doctor and it shows some difference between the iphone's report of the battery percentage it's own report of the battery percentage.

After bricking the phone, I charged it to 100%, took it off the charger at 8:04AM and barely made any calls.

The phone is now at 63% and it's 12:54 PM.

Here is what I really think happened (and granted, I have not opened up the phone to see what is what yet):

-Apple decides to put in TWO different cell technologies into a phone to save manufacturing costs that only had one or the other in the past: CDMA and GSM.

-This is the major difference other than the main chip from the 4 and the 4 is not half as bad as the 4S in battery problems...my old 4 is still doing quite well not being on a charger for three days.

-The battery is now powering TWO different cell antennas.

-If the battery was exactly the same as the 4, then this is our drainage issue and Apple's only solution will be to find a software switch to turn one of the antennas OFF.

-Even if they incorporated a new battery with a somewhat higher capacity, it was not strong enough to handle the draw for two antenna aseemblies.

               I am on AT&T, why do I need the other antenna on at all, ever? Verizon's customers may need it for travel.

-The other options are worse

      -they have a defective antenna assembly that is quickly draining batteries on most phones around the world

     -they have a massive set of batteries that are defective

     -or both

Now some more illogic from Apple: If it was software, why are they instantly replacing so many phones? Is this just to appease us and/or to end with the perfect excuse to remanufacture phones for Applecare replacement as this looks like its going to be replaced, a lot.

READ THIS POST AND CHECK IF YOU HAVE YOR INFRARED ON !!!

that drains the battery + phantom usage!!!

Serial NO: 4s Make sure not to share your number here, only when you go to the offical apple site.

Good luck and thanks.

Part numbers are better public identifiers if you want to solve the problem.

You may want to consider review you post in other fourms,  great that this is  your 5th iphone, since you are a telecommunication Engineer.

Who do you work with? Cosmote?

Tell us which ipohone is better than the 4s?????

Nokia N9, Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Samsung Nexus (Android 4), Nokia Lumia 800 (WinMobile Mango), HTC Amaze or even BB. Any of those may be better than the IP4S depending on what you look for... i.e. tweakability, MS Office integration, new OS features, design, camera, google apps integration, battery life, physical KB and secured mail infrastructure etc...

You are a simplistic fella. You should maybe take a look at this article http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/16/2565102/smartphone-buyers-guide - a brillant article that details many of the things someone should take into consideration before jumping on a smartphone. It may elevate your thinking - from fanboism to adulthood and intellectual maturity... so maybe next time you may choose differently.

Wow, your SN is interesting....

You may want to check other fourms which may help you.

Good luck and thanks.

dude I bought what I wanted to buy. Am I a fanboy sure I have had apple products since 1984. Do I love getting off a plan in europe, china (sadly not Japan) and turning on my phone and having everything I do there transfer to my desktop and server? Yes Those other phones are toys I could care. My needs of this phone are simple. I am not.

Just to add my story here:

I have purchased my iphone 4 last year from an offical reatiler and at the same type REPLACED MY SIM with a micro SIM (3FF I think is their code-name) and had no prblems with my iphone 4 for over a year.

" and decided to get the 4S to solve this problems. I installed my micro SIM but the reasult is not as described above, my battery is drainded faster than eye can see, so I do not believe that the whole issue is a matter of SIM. Except of course if there are new micro SIM ......

Please tell me, are you still using

your old sim or you have installed the new

supplied with the 4S ipnone ?

I am using my old micro SIM. Don't know if I have to get a new, improved one. Nobody told me so...

WHy are you interested on where I work? Do you intend to hire me?

Anyway, if something I responded to others topics confused you, I am more than happy to help you.

Forget about that 5.0.2 story. Apple will as always release updates but that story is most likely based on bad sources.

Thanks and best of luck.

I supose you could get a new one if you ask your ISP

If necessary tell them you lost yours

and check your problem is solved or not.

I will ask for a SIM replacement first think Monday morning and check that also, thanks.
