Not talking up the phone but with cellular reception like that its no wonder why your battery is taking a hit....
Not too happy with mine either 5.5 hrs usage, 12 hrs standby from 100%->1% but then again my reception is not the best but not as bad as your screen shot either
That's incredible, actually. It seems that low service areas really sap the battery life.
Same battery issues here.
It seems obvious there's an issue.
I thought it was because I was using spotify, but my iPhone 4 never lost power like this.
So it's either a bad batch or an iOS6 issue.
I'm sure it'll work itself out soon with and update or an exchange
Great phone otherwise

I definitely would if I needed it because I love iCloud, but I haven't had to!
I'm not happy with the battery life either. While texting a friend of mine, the batter indicator was literally dropping at a rate of about 1% ever minute or two. I DID restore my phone from iCloud and I just "reset all settings" I did this while it was a 98% when it booted back up it was showing 100%
Interesting. I hope this helps, or i'll have to make an appointment with the genius bar.

I just pulled the trigger and decided to restore my iPhone to factory. I have nothing to lose (besides all my old text messages). I can't really judge battery until my phone dies completely. Since I restored it, the battery has gone down quite a bit, but I've been using it a lot (installing apps, changing settings, etc). We'll see what happens though.
Pretty impressed... Setup as new.
41 minutes on calls
Mostly on wifi
A lot of text messages/iMessages
Web browsing on safari
Streaming pandora for about an hour
A couple YouTube videos
Took 2 pictures to test out cameras
Siri = disabled
Auto-brightness
Ran about 10 speedtests at various places I frequent
This basically simulates my normal use for the phone, so pretty happy with battery life thus far.

thats amazing...i wish it was possible to manually backup app data in iOS6. and texts call history ect. if that was possible i'd do a setup as new iphone.
My iPhone dropped from 94% to 76% while I was sleeping (7hours)..
It also said 1+ hour of usage. I did get a bunch of text when I woke up. Does that count as usage?
