In the middle of several books.
6hrs 13 minutes of usage

20hrs 28 minutes standby

Actually Im noticing since I clean installed iOS 6 then clean installed iOS 7 that my battery in standby is wayyyy better, as for usage its not as good as my standby but its a definite improvement!!! Ill know better once I charge my phone again to get my stats.

Im at 40% battery and I charged it 18 hours ago! With light-moderate usage. Phone call lasting 48 minutes, music play for 40 minutes and light "usage" social apps, messing around with contact photos, and light texting!

Well I forgot to leave this here. I wrote on my blog what I did and notice from my research with battery drain on iOS 7. Read it here: http://bit.ly/ZYRbr1 Hopefully it helps someone out.

Also I went back to 6 cause not being able to see my data usage in the Verizon app was annoying me.:eek: What a difference this made, it's so much faster. You really don't notice it until you have iOS 6 install for more than 2 days. Forgot how smooth it was and how it followed my finger swiping on my homescreen. :D

Anyway I'll upgrade again around beta 2 or 3 depending on results. Hope the tips on the blog help you.
