My iPhone 4 is using up the battery in one day. I had 100% at 6:30 AM; I made 1 call for +/- 4 minutes, sent a few text messages and checked a couple of alerts from TV stations. It is 8:20 PM and I have 17% left. I have always had 40% + and 11:00 PM before. I have had the phone about 1.5 years. Any ideas why this is happening?
Most likely there is a background app running that is sending or receiving data, or trying to send or receive and failing.

Ok, this has been talked about a lot. My solution is: settings>>>mail, contacts, calendars>>>fetch new data. Then turn OFF "push" and set fetch to "hourly" or "manually." I think the push feature with the iOS6 is the killer. Perhaps this has been fixed with iOS6.0.1 but I haven't installed it yet. I now have no less than 70% at the end of the day under normal use.
Try this and let us know if it works!
As the battery gets older, IT'S NOT going to last as long. Most nickel Hydride batteries only last a year and a half before they start to degrade. Just keep your charge handy or have the battery changed out.
Interesting. The Nickel Hydride traction battery in my 2003 Prius is 9 years old and still has its original capacity, and is warranteed for 10 years.
Also irrelevant, as the iPhone has a Lithium Polymer battery
Why is my battery not lasting all day?
