I read this three times, hit my head against the wall, and still have no idea what you are saying. I gotta quit drinking....
I went to bed with 100% and woke up with 97%. This is with dead everything upset on. That's not so bad IMO as I'm the forgiving of mortal who plugs in their gadgets to bidding when I'm not using them. And with iOS5/Wifi Sync, it's alter much hortatory to do so.
When I'm statesman bothered active protection fire, patently I present take any preventive measures to achieve reliable it doesn't die on me parcel in the cutting of abstraction. So far, I'm impressed with my iPhone 4S's shelling animation. Liken that to my old phone which lasted roughly an minute and a half using the incredibly laggard internet, and it's sure an status.

He posted using Siri.
If you turn phone on.off or do a hard reset without the phone being on the charger, it wipes the slate clean with --- and will start up again at a full charge....happened to me other day as well.
Some of these stats are hard to believe. Like are y'all turning off 3G and working with 2G? Or crippling your phone and turning off everything? Like I actually use y phone, so I'm curious to know if people are just not touching their phone barely for a day, long enough to take a screenshot?
It appears you may not have gone through a full discharge/charge cycle yet?
Yeah, we wanna know if your BS'ing us just to get the screen shot and post it up. I have a feeling we'll never get a honest answer, and it's not as if we can verify. Some measure from the gooch, some from the base.
Thank you for answering - I've seen it on my other iPhones and didn't know why.
You are right it is a conspriacy.
Wouldn't be the first time someone screws with people on the internet.
I own a 4S for 4 days now. I went to bed at 10pm with >80% battery, set the alarm for 8am next day....
...next day, phone dead, no alarm. great start. the replacement phone has a different serial number range (DNP...). The battery life to me is really disappointing:
Light usage only. Surfing the web and mail via WiFi mostly. ALL location services switched off.
Is there any good tool available that will show you the cpu usage PER PROCESS? I only found apps for overal cpu load.
No idea how apple picks the users to help them analyse the issue, but i volunteer.

This is my usage over the last 4 days. Mainly consisting of texting, emailing or twitter. It went a day and a night in both cases and today it died at 920pm or so. I took the screen shot after I plugged it in to charge right after. Must have used it more heavily today. Either way last night I went to sleep at 11 with it at 72% and woke up with it at 62% at 830. Left is Friday morning to Saturday night and right is Sunday morning to (nearly) the end of Monday.
Everything was switched on (wifi/data) and I have some location settings turned off. (like the timezone thing).

iPhone 4S battery drain could be result of time zone bug

The majority of us spotted this long time ago, I switched it off, yes I have seen battery get better, but only in stand by mode. I still loose about 1% every 2 mins if just read twitter or type txts.
It would be nice for apple to somewhat publicly acknowledge the battery issue. I mean people have 30 days to decide to keep your product, give them some reassurance that you are aware and working to resolve. I asked the store rep yesterday if he has been seeing alot of people with battery issues with the 4s. He said yes, they've been telling people to shut off apps that use location services that don't really need to be using them.
Here's some of my usage recently. I guess that I got lucky with the battery on this 4S (black, AT&T, 64gb)
I have location services (except for the System Services, but Traffic is on) and push notifications on, bluetooth off, Set Date & Time Automatically is on. The Stock and Weather widgets are on in Notifications. I set up my iPhone as new from the start. I stream internet radio and podcasts a lot throughout the day. I also check email frequently, do some light browsing, Facebook, and twitter. I usually don't charge my phone at night unless I'm below 40%. On idle, my phone doesn't drop more than 2% over the course of a few hours.
With my iPhone 4, I could only get this kind of battery life with Location Services and Push Notifications off.
I hate that so many people are having such terrible battery issues.

My battery life has improved markedly. This is my usage today (usage primarily being calls, FB, checking Twitter, some browsing, email, and a few texts. I finally turned push email off and set it to fetch every 15 minutes, which is about as long as my OCD will let it go. Ha.)
The first screenshot is from maybe a week-ish ago, and I just took the other one. No clue why the massive difference, as my usage pretty much stays the same and I haven't altered any settings (that I remember, anyway) and did not restore.

Right now I have 1hr more usage and 4.5hrs less standby than what you posted and I'm 30% less than you. lol
Yup. I'm still seeing that kind of behavior. But it seems to be worse on the cell connection, not wifi. I'm wondering if the radio isn't dropping back to idle when not transmitting.
plugged in indicator
Has anyone else noticed that when they unplug their 4s and it is 100% charged that the battery indicator still says the phone is plugged in? On mine after a full charge I can unplug and plug the phone back in and it does not recognize that it is being disconnected and connected to power. The battery icon stays showing the plug icon for at least through the battery draining to 95%. I haven't watched below that but somewhere between 95 and 81% it switches to the battery icon.
If I plug it into my computer when it is at 100% it recognizes being plugged and unplugged, but not with the AC adapter. I am curious if anyone else has seen this.
