I don't see how this point is relevant.
Of course I understand that signal strength affects battery life as the device will continue to poll to search for a better signal.
Aren't we over complicating this whole battery thing, however?
Surely it should be more simple. For example, running the latest release of iOS 6, I was able to get through a full day without charging 90% of the time anyway.
Now, with the same usage patterns, I need to charge twice a day.
So I need to investigate whether there are any user settings I can change to improve this, ideally without losing the functionality I've always enjoyed to date.
Other external factors such as signal strength were a slight issue for me before the beta and continue to be now, so are not relevant for the comparison as nothing has changed.
The thing is, its not that simple. Maybe for you the signal strength hasnt changed your battery life. And yes, you for example, may need to charge twice a day but another person may have to charge 3 or maybe just once. The thing is it depends on variable factors. Ive noticed from many threads, especially ones with people that have battery issues, their outcomes are all over the place.
Some people will have great battery life with high usage, and others will have bad battery life with low usage! So I do once again..understand that this is a beta and there are many factors that come into play here..but thats what the survey is for.
It may mean s*** really, but it was just something I wanted to try out and give insight to others wondering about it. It started when I noticed my battery was drained by me doing practically nothing. Ive tried other betas, but they never had this many inconsistencies when comparing a wide variety of people!
Funny thing is, my battery life is way better today than it was earlier...maybe its because I changed my diagnostics and usage to NOT send. My signal strength has been "low-medium" this whole time.. I have 85% battery, 4 hours standby and 1.5 hours light usage! That can also change by tomorrow, given the same circumstances. Who knows.

I will report back here tomorrow on the findings. Right now there are 29 people who have taken the survey!
