So I have been hearing all this stuff about the battery problem, but I haven't felt that it has been terrible. I have a bunch of notifications set, push email, location services, iCloud account plus another gmail account, and use mainly wifi. I have 2.5 hours of usage and about 12 hours of standby with 59% battery left, with usage mainly reading emails, playing the occasional game, and web surfing. What have you guys been doing in the settings to help battery life and what is your usage/standby for around 60%?
Got a tip for us?

My battery life is pathetic. Worse then the 3GS I am coming from.
I don't have the exact stats but I unplugged it at 7AM (95% charge even though it was done charging) It then was completely dead around 4pm with very very light usage. I charged to 40% it was at 20% when I plugged it in around 6:30. Charged it back to 40% and unplugged around 720 it was down to 8% by 9:30 with no usage.

I worked all day and used my phone normally as I did my iP4. After work, I was at 60% very light usage (8 hours). Got home and checked email, did some moderate web surfing, and was down to 10% by 9:00 pm. This was 12 hours off the charger.
In comparison, my iP4 would typically be at 85% by the time I leave work and be at about 50% by bedtime (14 to 16 hours off the charger).
What I have noticed is the back glass of my iP4S is very warm. The iP4 never got warm. I know this has to be eating at the battery. I just don't know what's causing it.

I'm starting to think that Siri may have a memory leak which is causing battery drain.
I was checking my times and I noticed that standby and usage were locked together.
So I started killing a few apps at a time, waiting a few minutes and then checking, even when I killed every single app, still doing it, then I toggled Siri off and an, and then the timers separated.

Using a few different system CPU viewing apps I am seeing very high CPU usage when I am doing nothing on the device and no applications are open.
The trick is finding out what is using the CPU.
