I thought I had escaped the battery/bugs that seemed to plague other people's handsets. When I bought a brand new 4S, I set it up as a new phone over the cloud. I have never sync'd it with iTunes or a PC.
I had already made a thread on a recent issue I had making a phone call.
Unfortunatly while trying to (purposly) drain the battery yesterday so I could fresh charge from 0% I discovered something a bit shocking. All I had to do to get my phone down from 22% to 0% is play a game for about 10-15 mins...... now I know 3D games are demanding but...... DAMN
. That equates to 1hr 15 mins of battery life from a full charge. Just because I played Infinity Blade????
Also while checking my standby/usage times I noticed an interesting bug. My standby time is now increasing at the same rate as my usage time........... (Check the 3 screen caps). I have also noted that the battery can stay on something like 100% for ages. Then suddenly it will eat through the % pretty quickly just browsing the web.
Another new issue poped up today, randomly. I took my phone out of standby and noticed the location arrow. Looking for an app in the Location Services, nothing seemed to be using it. So I looked at System Services and saw that Compass Calibration was. So I toggled it off. Arrow vanished. Turned it back on.... came back. Its been stuck ON for an hour now, I thought id just leave it and see if it went off on its own but seems to be stuck just like Setting Time Zone is (if u turn that on the arrow pops up and never goes away). See the other pic I attached. [Edit] I just restarted my phone and it seems to have fixed it.
My biggest nag though is that my apps keep bloody crashing. Everything. At first I thought "Oh it must just not be iOS 5 ready yet" but its not only downloaded apps that crash. The built in mail app has crashed on me. By crash I mean they suddenly blink back to the home screen, and switching to the app in the task manager just restarts it and you lose everything u were doing at the time.
Ok now thats all vented I feel a little better.
