[!] iPhone iOS 5 Battery Life - Quick Toggle Feature

Doesn't Airplane Mode on/off accomplish this?

Sorry, but I'm not having the battery issues you speak of and I use push mail so this really would be of no benefit.

But you need to send it here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html does no good to post it in the threads.

Then you are in the wrong place for this approach. I never said people didn't have issues with battery life, they have since the iPhone 2G. But your post made it sound as if everyone had the battery issue.

I think a simpler switch would be in order: buy a simple phone that does not use data at all. The charge on them lasts far longer. Battery life on a smartphone is going to be less than that on a simpler phone, that is a given.

My point was on a smartphone there is not much point in turning of all connection to the internet which is why engineers would probably not include such a function. My other point is that this is not the place to discuss this as discussions on policy, speculation, and polls are not permitted. The idea has been mentioned many times before, since 2007 in fact, so Apple is well aware of it and you aren't near the first to suggest it.

Just got my unlocked white 4S 64GB, series starts with C if that really matters. Running 5.0.1. Battery drains at about 5-6% per hour with the screen locked. Normal setup...exchange, gmail, iCloud, whatsapp, Dropbox. When I use the phone, it looses it's charge at an unacceptable rate. I'm not getting paid to and nor do i have the time to trouble shoot this for Apple. If this isn't resolved in a few weeks, I'm going to get a Galaxy or go back to the Blackberry... I'm a business user with no time for beta testing. I had the first two versions of the iPhone and went back to the blackberry waiting for Apple to get serious about their phone..I guess they still don't get it. With that said, I love the rest of my apple products ... Just very disappointed in this phone right now.
