Please, point the sentence there where it says the opposite of what I have said! I do not see anywhere written that it is charging "better" (efficient charging = doing more in less time and the quality is not mentioned here)!

Then please point tell me how did you come to the conclusion of using an iPad charger for charging the iPhone 4S will wear its battery faster than using the original iPhone charger?

And yes, it would be wonderful if APPLE had already put a real fix in place.   It's easy for us to sit back and claim they should have had a fix already,

I could say too that it is very easy for Apple to do nothing about the issue and ignore it and in the same time Apple can enjoye nice bonuses and holidays on my money!!! It is not easy to sit back and complain that there is a battery issue. I have better things to do with my time than complaing about Apple and iPhone 4S!

  Would you prefer that the battery issue be fixed and 5 - 10 new problems created?

For the expensive iPhone 4S I expect the issue to be fixed immediately and everybody at Apple to work on it full-time and acknowledge the issues officially immediately! Do you mean that one should expect that Apple for every issue which they fix create another 5-10 new problems? If it is then Apple is not what they claim that they are!

This is not as simple as you may wish ot were.....

These are just excuses!!! I I paid a lot of money for iPhone 4s and its issues should be acknowleged and fixed immediately. I didn't buy a iPhone 4S to be told this is "a complicated" issue to be fixed and get a fix a year later after I bought the iPhone 4S. I worked for my money and I expect that a product which I buy with my money to work well and if it does not work well the issue to be acknowledged and fixed immediately without any delay!

In general, most of the eletric batteries like to be charged at low currrents because this give better better lifetime (i.e. lasts more charging-discharging cycles). Charging a battery with lower current takes longer time! Charging a battery with higher current takes a shorter time but the battery will last less charging-discharging cycles! This can be found in any serious book about battery manufacturing!!!

the   iPhone will be charge faster since it will draw more current , due the fact that charger can provide up to 2 AMP ,

just like you can charge with 85w  a 13" macbook pro that originaly has 60W charger

the battery is much more sufisticated , it has its own ROM that  measure temperature ,voltage , count the total  charge cycles and so on , and stop charging when it reach it full capacity

Hilarious!   Who do you think you are?   You can ask me anything you want, but I'm not going to go doing your legwork for you.   If you haven't seen the people in this thread who are freaking out over this issue, you are blind or very forgetful.   You can moan and groan and make all the demands you want, but the fix won't be out until it's fully ready, I'm hoping.  

Lastly, from your number of posts, it appears that you indeed have NOTHING better to do than to complain in here..........   Have a nice life.........

Ok, maybe it help somebody. It has been posted few times, but if someone new didnt saw.

Simple like this:

Delete iPhone (erese all)

Synch with iTunes (not restore)

Discharge-charge overnight.

Everything but siri and timezone is on,

data trafic is on 3g, unless im at work, like posted photo, (8-10) hours per day,

Usage: Call, texts, mailing, safari.

4 accounts on fetch 30 minits.

With full usage, all day 3g, heavy data transfer, other ****, it last 24 h. Which is good compare to Android.

I can live with it, BUT I hate companies that lies their own customers, that's why I migrate from Android to Apple, and that's why I'll move my money to MS with Nokia after a while. Apple ***** with this. If they give an excuse I may consider it, and stay.

Otherwise, my 700 euros a year for a phone go to MS.

If 3000 mtf engineers don't get it, I'll teach you.

3g switch

I don't need 3g all the time, make **** synch all option, and let phone switch 3g on, check all, switch off. **** Symbian have that.

IC is NOT WORKING! if I switch off I DO Want it of!!

TC Apple, and fix it.

I dont see the point in kicking off with people on here everyone is doin there little bit to help if you need to kick off with anyone book urself an appointment at the apple store and give them the S H I T......

@Jameson!

You can ask me anything you want, but I'm not going to go doing your legwork for you.

You wrote that people are crazy and suicidal over a phone and not me. I am just asking you who are those crazy people to whom you are referring to.

Thats great news! Its been a known issue restoring old device backups to the new iPhone causing the hot battery and drain as well as wifi network issues. If you need your apps and contacts etc just sync like you would if you never had an iPhone before and you should be good. Interesting that it already has 9A406, so its factory fresh huh. Hope you can enjoy your iPhone now.

Hey Guys,

 

so, my new (black instead of white) 4S arrived yesterday. It was a completely new one and not a refurbished one and it came preinstalled with 5.01 (the latest 9A406 version). And guess what.

 

This phone is working without any problems.

 

The static noise issue is gone

 

The battery life is ok again (it only shows actual usage)

 

It doesent gets as warm as the previous devices used to

 

The vibration is now silent again

 

I set it up as a new phone and did not restore from an old backup, but I didnt do this with the other refurbished phones I had before either.

 

So maybe Apple changed something in the manufacturing process? Who knows. I'm happy to have a working phone for now.

I think that it is a little bit early to say that this is truly good news! Tombor got the phone yesterday. Usually a reset of iPhone 4S can give a good battery life for few days and afterwards it comes back!

Of course I am.

Yes.

3G

 

>>  Are you on CDMA or GSM network?

 

I'm in the UK, we only have GSM.

Congrats! You are lucky!

I have one more question! How many coverage bars do you have ussually thru the day?

For example home I have 5 bars but at workplace I have 3 bars and my iPhone 4S still connects to the 3G network even that the 2G gives 5 bars. At workplave my iPhone 4S drains much faster than when I am home.

hey guys why is it some iphone 4s users or other iphone users charge their iphones 4 hours or even overnight? where i only charge my iphone 4s in just 2hours, because it gets full at 100% with plug sign. isn't that dangerous to let your iphone charge overnight?

Why in the world would you think it might be DANGEROUS?   Amazing.........

relax dude, i'm just being careful with my iphone, we all know it's expensive, and i'm thinking it might decrease the efficiency of the battery.

Hi apple people, just a quick update.

I have confirmed that connected to my strong signal wifi home network, my 4S performs very well, drops <.8%/hr in standby and can watch up to 7hrs of internet video. This is with most location services on including all system services on and cellular data on, BT off.

BUT, turn off wifi at home where there poor 3G signal, the performance is shocking! >5%/hr drop in standby and the usage time drops badly as well. I am starting to believe the theory about the problem with the 3G antennas and chipset, a software update may not help much with this problem.

I also deleted icloud account, perhaps this helped abit, although I had observed the same good performance on a strong signal wifi.

PS. It is sad that Apple has kept quiet about such an issue. Unfortunate customers who spend $£€ for the handsets are forced to spend their precious time troubleshooting and getting angry on online forums.

As I type this my iPhone 4S has had 1 day 15 hours since last full charge, and just under 3 hours of 'use'.  Charge is at 49%.  My 3G signal strength varies a home from 2 to 4 bars, and sometimes less.  It is NORMAL for the radio to use more power when it has poor signal quality numbers as they ramp up the transmit power to compensate.  Maybe I am just lucky....
