TROLL HATER!

 

Folks do not feed the 1AppleADayNoWay troll just don't

So you still think about me? Sometimes you know, one must admit he doesn't have what it takes. It may hurt your childish ego, but you'll feel better after and you can move on and go play with you little toys. So stop repeating the same sentence over and over and grow up.

A good day.

Update to wifes 4S with last nights contacts sync issue. The fix worked  

Today the phone isn't continuosly syncing. YES.  But now this morning MY No ISSUE 4S has started to drain.

My Issue : WIFI network searching and resetting OVER AND OVER none stop !..

Tried network reset on the phone, hard reboot. Nothing STOPPED It. So I shut the Hub down and restarted. Relinked the phone with fresh wifi setting, and all looks good again.

Need to keep notice of any network accessing going on repeatedly !  This should not be happening, unless something has gotten corrupted..

I have the same problem, 4S with 5.01 battery life is about 8 hours standby and less than 1 if you actually do anything with it like, er use it as a phone, play a game, surf the web. Advise to save battery life seems to be turn everything off, in which case I may as well take a photograph of my iphone 4S and carry that around with me! it will be just as useless but have better battery life!

Frustration aside, I've tried everything and only turning it into airplane mode sets the phone up to last like my 3GS did. I've tried a full restore and that doesn't help either. There is something seriously wrong here and turning off timezones, Siri, iCloud, WiFi, Bluetooth and push notification does not help.

i updated to 5.0.1  a few days ago. (thru itunes) , rebooted (pushing home and lock buttons) .  then let phone discharge completely.  after full recharge, 25 mnts talk, a few textx, and a few apps, still at 94% after 17-18 hours.

""Why do people continue to drive themselves nuts over this, my god, go outside, enjoy life and wait for a fix!""

Nice post SHADYZZ. I stopped posting here a while ago due to a few 'trolls' continuously high-jacking this thread. Incredibly boring stuff! It's amazing how a couple of kids still living in mommy and daddy's basement, only coming upstairs when mommy says "dinners ready honey", and having no other life than to post here incessantly without even owning an iphone, can just degrade a thread into pointless dribble. To bad there are no moderators here.

Anyway, thought I'd share something, if anyone other than the trolls are still looking here. I downloaded an app called 'system status' which monitors your iphone's cpu usage, among other things. Many other apps out there that will do the same. What I noticed was in my phone logs running overnight (off the charger}, that my phone's cpu was only turning on once every 30 minutes, and then only to look for auto-time set (which I had turned off), and a few other things, then went back to sleep for another 30 minutes. I loose around 1-2 % overnight, and my 4s has always had great battery life. Seems to me that someone with problems could look at their logs to determine what cpu is doing (trying to ping towers, continually trying to sync something, etc.) Looking at the time displayed along with any actions, is very telling. If its running (logging) more than 1 minute every 1/2 hour, then you probably are having problems, and logs can show you where. These apps cost only 1 or 2 dollars, and may well be worth it for you. Just a suggestion!

To any newcomers here: Go to area's around page 350. Most useful stuff lays there. Explains why is software issue etc., and was a time when some useful info.was posted before the troll's took over. Like SHADYZZ says.... Apple will release a fix, so just relax, and understand all first adapters of any new versions of software are going to always experience glitches. Looking at your logs will also show you how incredibly complicated these little computers actually are. Just turn off all features you are not actively using, and hang in there. Deep in your heart, you know Apple is working feverently on a fix, just like any other company would.

ok I have had no Battery problems at all....till this A.M.....My battery was going down way too fast...I shut down all my apps...but before this happened I got a push from trapster saying I was near a traffic light that was 25 miles away from me....strange.....in the settings>location services>system services> page my compass calibration was running....and if I shut it off it still showed the icon lit up like it was still running....tried to shut off all location stuff and still icon is on and battery going down....restart the iphone 4s ...and all is back to normal....

My guess is some Apps are making that compass calibration to run and not shut off. This may be why some people are having problems and others are not.....Just a guess....

Jay this is exactlly what I'm starting to see happening, since both mine and my wifes have been purfect till the last few days ! 

Back ground system or APP processes are for some reason  not closing properly OR getting corrupted and going a rye !

what????relax??????they promise the same thing 2-3weeks ago!!!a fix!!!!!!and what they did???ios 5.0.1 and my battery last 6 hours with 3 hours small usage and you want me to trust them???? shut up!!!!

If you can't handle it, others can. The fact of the matter is you'd like everyone to just be and think like you and it doesn't work like that, so the best you can do when it doesn't happen is to brush off people as trolls with no life. You're a prejudiced, arrogant bigot, which is why you support condescending posts like shaddyz's and you'd make a good pal for spyder2004. I mean I fully grasp that for someone like you, someone who doesn't blindly worship Apple is offensive, and you can't stand someone to rattle the cage and ask for value. People don't have to submit to your passive-aggressiveness or "relax" brainwash nor behave like sheeps. They can love Apple and still behave like demanding customers and see what's right from wrong. They certainly don't need a sheep herder like you to think for them as they can make their own opinion... Futhermore there are moderators here and I've seen them act and swiftly at that - they're just not about censorship and they seem to value freedom of speech. It just seems people at Apple are much much more intelligent than you can ever hope to be, *****. Finally, people are "early adopters" not "adapters"... people are more than a piece of hardware.

And a good day to you

Encouraging people to spend even more money and to look at their logs in clueless fascination like you do won't help them solve any of their issues. Talk about pointless "drivel" - maybe you should go back to school and stop making fun of kids who like to "dribble". Just a suggestion!

Troll Hater

1) he does not have an iphone he does not even have a computer that is from the 21st century

2) he complains and pontificates on things that he a) has not experienced himself b) cannot afford

3) more than one poster seems to realize this although the anti-apple username is pretty obvious

4) goes of on random lengthy paragraphs stalking about his philosphy and the way of the universe the benefits of oatmeal bla bla bla

5) must get the last word (which he will not )

conclusion?

Troll & apple Hater

Yeah, life is unfair. You have the bling and bells and whistles, the plane lifestyle, and Siri for company, and I have the brains, the language, the straight back and the girlfriend. You can't buy those. How I envy you.

You see, using that verb "pontificate", I've realized who you are, so when you talk about "more than one poster", well, multiple personalities is not one of my forte... I think you're the one who's about action figures.

I don't need the last word. I've undone you a long time ago, with the proper words, friend

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5. When it was on iOS 4 it never made it throughout the when day. When I upgraded to iOS 5 the battery life was just ridiculous. I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 it saved a lot battery and could adult make it throughout the whole day without charging with 10-20%. But I don't understand how originally when the iPhone 4 came out, people said that it lasted up to 4 days at a time. Am I doing something wrong? I would love my battery life to last that long. :)

no... your experience is common.  i have seen very few iPhones (and I go back to the original bought on day 2) last much beyond 2 days with any real amount usage

See what I mean folks....lol! 

I'm outta here! Good luck with your problem.
