Bought iPhone 3GS in white, obviously 16GB, 3 days after the launch. I have it on O2 UK PAYASYOUGO. One of the things i was glad about getting the 3GS was a better battery life. what was i thinking? It's worse than my old 3G!
before you ask:
- Wi/Fi is turned off. hardly used.
- notifications OFF.
- vibrate when on silent. ring only (no vibrate) when volume is on at 50-75%
- brightness is between 15-20% with auto-brightness ON.
- 1422 songs, 17 videos, 149 photos, 18 apps.
- listen to music on long journeys or in bed before sleeping. occasionally watch videos and view pictures. use apps regularly.
- gprs/edge always on, use 3g when needed.
- bluetooth ALWAYS OFF.
- location services only ON when needed.
- auto-lock: 1 minute.
- no push/fetch used or activated.
- send about 100 texts a day.
that is my settings for general use. the thing is i have my phone fully charged for when i wake up 7-8am and phone is at 10-20% by 10-11pm that night.
is this normal? or should i take it back ?
always my reception is terrible. well i get 3G on full bars, but sometimes for no reason, all of a sudden my reception will disappear! it will cut off for hours, i have tried restarting iphone, ejecting sim card, restoring phone and changing cellular data settings, but none of this works and i just need to wait hours for it to come back on! its a real pain in the back side when i have payed £428 for this phone!
should i take it back for a replacement?
