I currently have had iOS installed on my computer since day one it came out and the past few days I have noticed a dramatic decrease in battery life in only short amounts of time. For example I was playing Words With Friends App for a mere Ten minutes and within these ten minutes my battery life had gone down about a total of ten percent, I have never experienced this issue with 4.3.3. I would think it normally would only go down about 1 or 2% for ten minutes of game playing? Not only is it with Words with friends, I tested it with standby mode the other day too, I mad sure all apps were closed, location services were off and no apps were using a constant 3G internet stream for any reason and let my iPhone sit for 2 hours and I would get an occasional Words with friends notification or MLB 2010 App notification and a few texts, and my battery had drained 15-20%. "What the heck I say?" I am not a developer but my UDID is registered and obviously I can't go to apple and ask them what the battery drainage would be caused by, because I assume they have no idea about the inner workings of iOS 5 because they are not developers.
Any Suggestions? Does anyone think I should just downgrade to 4.3.3.?
Thanks!
