so, both my and my girlfriend phone started having battery issues this week. it lasts for 5/6 hours on standby... he are both on 4.2.1 and not jailbreaked. they have been working well for last 2 months but started doing this last week i think. they were purchased independently and in total diff dates. i saw someone having this problem too... is this a software bug ?
Got a tip for us?

it gets hot in the back. there is no apple store here in portugal so i must get the phone back to vodafone so they can solve my problem... i also noticed there's a lot more people having this issue with their iphone 4 and 3gs so it may be software related. i guess i will way a few more days to see how it develops
Hmm.. This is a tricky one...
Have you changed any settings on the iPhone or anything for the lighting on it? Do you have the ringer up on full all the time? Or on vibrate? are you texting more than usual? are you leaving for iPhone on 3G Internet or on Wi-Fi...?? That may be why.
You might also have a faulty iPhone battery. You can call Apple about it, you are covered because you get support for 1 year I think, or at least you get phone support. You also get 90 days of full warranty.

i put my phone in airplane mode when go to sleep. still have the issues. i restored the phone and stopped doing that, however after 1 week it came back again. i have no idea, i haven't changed the settings, as far as i know... i guess i will wait to see what happens in the next few days since there's more people having this problem in my college...
I can last 21 hours idol + 5 hours use with all wireless settings on (BT, 3G, WiFi). Open the multitask bar and make the icons jiggle. Press the red button that pops up to close all backgrond apps that hog your battery.
Charge it every night. This way you don't waste your battery by keeping your battery drained. Also, if you can help it, keep your battery from going into 0%. This will help the battery stay at its best performance.

unfortunately i already do that. i have both BT and 3G off, still having problems though =/
Turn Push off and do a hard reboot. Hold power button and home button for 10 seconds.
Which iPhone do you have?
How long did you use it per day before this?
Which apps do you use most frequently?
If it's 3GS and below it just might be a plain EoL battery.

Put the phone in airplane mode while in standby, if this solves the problem, then that would prove that it is an app that is trying to access the internet. Once you know that, it should be a simple process of elimination.
