I curious to see what kind of discharge rates you guys are running.

I'm getting 4.4% on CDMA 3G only, 4S.

Would be nice to what LTE does to a discharge rate.

Percentage of battery used / hours off the charger from full = discharge rate per hour.

there are millions of these threads, where people post up their screen shots....then you can do the math.
 
Oh I see. Oops, something left over from my blackberry days. :)

i miss using Meterberry for this exact reason. with my BB, i used to see rates between 2.0-5.0% per hour. my iphone is similar, but sometime higher or lower depending on use. i consider anything above 5%/hour a much more unacceptable drain.
 
Have you found a battery app that actually shows the discharge rate? All I can find is apps that tell me how much I have left if I perform certain tasks.

When I had my 9930 I would run 3% DRH. I also had meter berry. I don't miss the battery pulls.
 
found an app called battery doctor that will give u that in addition to analyzing the phone clearing up the cache on the phone giving u tips on the battery etc its pretty cool And actually free I included some screenshots... Check them out
