My battery is awesome!
My battery is awesome!
From browsing using 3G and using the twitter app.
Why is my battery life so bad? I have tried all the tips to save battery life, wi-fi off, Bluetooth off etc.

I charged by battery fully overnight. Unplugged it at 8 am. It is now 2:29 pm and I only have 38% left. To me, that's not good.
How did u post a screen shot on MR from ur phone? Or did u send the screenshot to ur computer and then post it? Can u post pics fr mobile devices? If so, how?
Have you been on Wi-Fi most of the time? And what are your settings? Like Bluetooth, Auto Brightness, LTE, etc.
Sorry but anytime I see "this iPhone has been plugged in since last full charge"
It completely discredits any results that is shown.
Yeah wifi the whole time. LTE on. Auto brightness on. Bluetooth off and that's pretty much it.
Ok, because mine seems to drain at almost double the speed when I'm on cellular. Turn Wi-Fi off and see if there's any difference, I'd be interested.
I believe draining the battery 100% helps calibrate the software so it has a more accurate reading of your battery %. (Not an expert, so not certain.)
Definitely a common misconception.
Ok. So can everyone on here who is complaining about battery life do one thing:
1. Time how long it takes for the battery to run down 10% while connected to a wifi network.
2. Do the same with wifi turned off and connected to a cellular network.
Post the results here. I'm certain this is to do with the cellular connection.
Here are my results:
Cellular - 59 minutes
Wifi - 2:15 minutes.
NB: try and not alter the variables too much; i.e try to use the iPhone similarly in both tests.

Restore from backup?
Good idea. According to Apple's battery life claims, LTE/3G usage should provide 8 hours of browsing. Wi-Fi is 10. However, I'm finding my battery to drain at least twice as fast over cellular.
