Re: Battery problems

Agreed, the update has not caused any improvement in my battery life and i would suspect it has not helped with anyone else other than perhaps those that saw the most extreme of battery drains.

 

I took my phone off charge at 11:30 last night and it was at 90% by 7:30 this morning and there was nothing active and it was not used in that time.

 

I also upgraded my Iphone 4 16gb and although it was not charged fully, it also drained from 30 to 20% in the same time period.

Re: Battery problems

Apple have released iOS 5.0.1  (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1472) which should resolve the issue around battery life.  Just doing mine now.

Re: Battery problems

Soupladel, 10% battery in 8 hours makes it 80 hours standby time.

Now that's some way off of the purported "up to 200 hours standby time" but it's not bad.

I guess if you put your phone into airplane mode and didn't touch it, that's how you'd reach the 200 hours, but yeah, 80 hours standby isn't bad.

Re: Battery problems

How has it been over a full day of usage?

I wasn't even experiencing problems and I've seen an improvement!

If you have an Apple store close by, I would take it there. They will swap it and transfer data. Better than waiting for Vodafone (if they have any in stock of course).

Re: Battery problems

upgrade 5.0.1 has actually worsened my battery life..

I got white 32g 4s since 14 oct with poor battery life, complained, received a new one 1 week later, no difference.

Could be from the same batch...

its poor to say the least  80 hours stand by is not acceptable.... charging twice a day is not acceptable with moderate use...

(I dont play games or use the videoplay back, but mainly as a communication tool.. messaging, email and phone calls.)

 

Should I be better of going into Apple Store and try another exchange??

 

Has some have some succesfull experiences and actually received a better battery in return??
