Do I need to enable restrictions? It says restrictions are off does this need to be enabled for ping to matter? I had to put in a passcode
you should calibrate the battery at least once a month. by that i mean completely draining the battery to 0% and then giving it a full recharge.

Yes go to restrictions and turn them on, I think it then asks you for a passcode. Leave everything else alone but turn Ping off.
Done and hopefully you'll see a big battery increase like I did.
really? didn't know about it all till i saw this thread
it makes that big a difference?
It could be because it tries to do a lot of intensive searching locally and on the net, especially if you have large music library ... (just a hunch)
Anyways, I did some experiments on iOS5 Beta 5 and it seems (atleast for me) that iCloud with PUSH is the culprit ... as soon as I put it to Fetch 15 mins and then a hard reset ... i am now at 1% per hr usage only ..of course I still have done other things like disabled specific Location services and turned off itunes/ping
