Battery Life on 4S with iOS 7

[chambone]

No such problems on my 4S. I got 7 hours of screen time on iOS 6 and I get 7 hours of screen time on iOS 7. Parallax effect off, bluetooth off, auto update apps off and all other stuff off that was off before.

I got a brand new 4S and started using it a few days ago, I've been using an iPhone 4 before then, and I must say that the battery seems to be so much worse on the 4S. (Might be due to the os)

I don't remember myself charging that much (And I had tons of things on the iPhone 4 I had, it was jailbroken with a lot of tweaks.)

Just really disappointed.
I heard about some chinese "gold battery" that holds more charge, have anyone here tried to use it by any chance?

My 4S battery is great on 7.0.

I can get about 8 hours of use and 24 hours standby.

Battery seems to stay at %100 longer too for some reason. Phone only drops 3% overnight (8 hours).

Battery life is great for a 2 yr old 4S!

I'm having the same issue.

I had a real bad battery problem after updating OTA to iOS 7. I restored and restored my backup and it got better. I then disabled most of the location services, background app refresh, and it got much better. Just recently I disabled siri after seeing it in a article on how to save your battery life. Disabling Siri (which I rarely used in the first place) has made my iPhone 5 perfect. Im still working on my first charge but I have been on it all morning and it has only dropped 1%. Ill update later today.

But Safari seems snappier.

I've been getting amazing battery life on my 4S. No complaints whatsoever from me. I'm loving iOS 7.

Follow up of the day:
This is with browsing the internet on the bus, playing some Clash of Clans on Wifi, Streaming youtube to Apple TV, and a bit of internet surfing for my English class.

iPhone 5: Most Location Services off, Siri off, Background App Refresh off, and Bluetooth off.

If I hadnt played Clash of Clans it would be a lot better.

This was the main reason for my upgrade from the 4S.

This is horrible! I may have to upgrade. Took my phone off the charger (where it had been charging all night to 100%) and used it for 13 min., down 7%. All I did was use Twitter and very light safari use. I'm usually down to 40% by 1pm and have to charge it midday. It sucks.

Hating it. It's far from getting better. I have EVERYTHING turned off. Heck, I turned siri off a couple days ago and it still stinks. Here is my phone at 10:30 this morning ...

 

[AAPLinc]

It's crazy to see some of you getting such bad life on your 4S, my battery is still giving great life.

I restored, installed iOS7 from iTunes and set up as new, no issues.

sorry for OT

Now it seems the battery life improved so much that it's actually now better than iOS6....
Now it lasts more than 24 hours with moderate usage. My Skype is always opened as well.

Sorry for the off-topic post. Just've found @zjazz's post in " Pleae help: Lion recovery erased my hd!!!!! " (Aug 9, 2011, 05:45 PM). Wondering if u find the solution ? I've got the the *very* same frustrated issue and am trying to fix it.

I tried to send a private message but I failed. I'm a doc filmmaker and I'm afraid to lose 2TB location footage. Pls help, thank you.

Sorry again for the OT post. I'll try to post in the original 2011 thread.
