iPhone battery dying after few hours from 100% charge

Since I upgraded to the iOS 5.1 my battery life on the iPhone 4S has been ridiculous.

For example, I left my house at 740am with my phone on 100%, I have browsed a little (safari and facebook) for no more than 20-30 mins in total. No apps are not running in the background as I ensure to close apps once i have finished with them. And now at 1400 I am left with 28% battery. i am not due to be at home until 1900.

Have I been unlucky with getting a dodgy iPhone from Orange?? the model is MD242B if that helps.

Also, notifications and banners are all turned off except for phone, messages, whatsapp, remainders, calendar.

I am careful not to over charge my phone, I do use an app called BatteryDoc to monitor my charging.

I always let my battery go flat before charging to 100% (with no trickle change), i believe this is a normal charge and what BatteryDoc advises i perform a full charge..

I am slowly regretting this phone after 6 months now.......

any input is welcome.

Thanks,

This was driving me insane too. I love my iphone but this is the one flaw. I tried all the "maximizing battery life" suggestions, and it helped slightly.

I have one suggestions: buy an iphone battery case. I bought one off ebay for $29.99 and it is amazing. Nearly doubles the battery and is way nicer than the one at Apple (not to mention 1/4 of the price). The item number is 200795419418 on eBay in case you are interested.

Hope That Helped!!
