I've been trying different settings to get the best battery life from my iPhone 5. So I'd like to ask everyone to take screen shots of their best battery life between full charges. Please include screen brightness settings. Here's mine:

Screen brightness: 50%

Thru a single charge... still going...

not as bad as i thought. 50/50 wifi and 4G, mostly FB, texts, twitter and emails. some calls and browsing but not much. this was after a full restore as new and modifying settings for optimal performance (some mailboxes as push, others as fetch or manual, brightness all the way down and on auto).

i couldve went alot longer. i was on 15% and needed to drain the battery before bed so i could do a full charge so i let youtube play for half hour to drain it down on purpose.

This is my best so far

I listen to music alot. Itunes seems to use little battery. It's surfing that drains mine fast.

Here's mine.

Backlight is on around 45%.

Music played through Music but not that much today.

That's from one charge.

Dunno how good it is.

I do have to say I listened to music for about two hours with the screen off.
