What gives? My usage is showing 30 hours as well as my stand by time, theyre exactly the same.

I restarted the phone and now while they are different , they are still proportional with each other. After one minute of usage, both the usage and standby time increase..

Should I go to the Apple Store?
 
I had this happen to me as well the other day. I've had it happen on my 3GS once or twice. My assumption is that a rogue process is running somewhere on your phone. I just had it happen the other day and a simple power cycle fixed it. Do you notice battery life drain quickly as well? That's how I was alerted to the issue.

I would restore before taking it to the Apple Store. Most likely that will be the first question they'll ask since it's software related. I would try restoring as a new phone though, as much of a pain that can be... :rolleyes:
 
well after doing a hard rest on my phone, the usage times and standby times are different..

However, whenever I use the phone for 5 minutes playing a game, the standby time jumps up 5 minutes as well.. Is this normal?
