Be sure to let the battery drain all the way to 0% (power off) then charge it fully to 100%. This will help calibrate the battery meter. Hope it helps

Done that already.
After ~30 min safari use I'm down to 70% battery already. Just not right.
Ive restored mine and it still lost 10% last night, although Ive still to drain the battery and charge . I drain the battery 9 times out of 10 anyway, iphone and macbook.
Will post back results when ive managed to drain & charge

my ip4 battery drained 20% while i was sleeping for 9 hours, it was doing nothing, just in standby, will a restore will fix this?
Are we saying that if we restore as a new phone (which would wipe out all of our data and info from the phone) and then restore from backup to place our info back on the phone would work?
If no, then are people restoring as new and manually adding everything back on to their phone (contacts, notes, photos, etc)?

Don't restore from backup - start afresh. If you've got your contacts, photos etc. backed up on you Mac then it should be pretty easy to get them back on your iPhone. At least it was for me

That's what I did.
After 2 hours of moderate use, 43% battery left.
LMFAO
Appointment to return is at 5:30 this evening. Getting a new one with HOPEFULLY a good battery.
hey
Anyway we can get a BEFORE (With Backup)
and After (Setup as new)
so we can see improvments if any?

Same problem here, lost 20% overnight including 3g turned off. This was after i had restored and set phone as new. Have returned back to Apple and now have a replacement.
Will check battery life tomorrow morning

Those are the easy things to restore, but what about SMS messages? How do I deal with that?
well, since my restore and battery drain & charge. Ive dropped 2% with standby of 4 hours 23 minutes & 33 min usage.
Seems to be an improvement, will use it a bit more today and see how it goes
Ive got mobile me running push, 3g, and location services all on.

From the discussions on these forums, and my own personal experience.. if you leave WiFi on at night when you are sleeping you will see roughly 20% battery drop during standby of 8 hours. Apparently WiFi is persistent even when in standby.. always on. Turn if off before you go to sleep or are not using it and you should see a huge increase in battery life.
I don't think that's true. I tested last night. I left WiFi on and I lost 2% in around 8 hours. This puts me on track to do a bit better than Apple's claimed 300 hours of standby, and that's with WiFi on.
