Battery was unpluged when i left the house at 6am and is now at 31% very worry, i used to use the 4 a lot more then i have been with the 4s and that would only be around 50-60% by now

Do you think if I was to fit an aftermarket uprated battery Apple would know? There is a contact near the battery connector that touches the back cover, I wonder if this will let the phone detect that it's been opened, or am I just paranoid?
Seriously considering either an uprated battery or a case with a battery built in.

Mines still on 1% after being unplugged from a full charge on Sunday morning....
Just died at 2.30pm.
Two and a half days from a full charge.

Jesus, how bloomin' long does it take a number to port. Gave Voda my PAC code on Friday and was told it would port by today but still no sign. Have been rebooting both old and new phones regularly to check and have tried leaving both off for a couple of hours but no joy yet.
When I've ported in the past, I've just left both phones and, at some point, the old one has lost service, then I just reboot the new one and voila. Should this still be the case?

Battery life isnt great.
100% charge this morning when i left for work around 6.00am. Been using it for some emails and some texts and now that battery is at 66%. Seeing as i send loads of texts on an evening i bet it will go flat by 10.00pm....

Yes, my IP4 got better and better over a few weeks of useage.
I'm hoping this 4S will be the same.

3rd Charge
tbh for only a 3rd charge i wouldnt really be worrying unless you were a few weeks into owning it and was depleting so quickly, as Rilot says the ip4 took a few weeks to get to full capacity and i reckon its the same deal with the 4S, plus factor in the 'new gadget play mode' and once you get to speed with all the new features and start to use the phone as you intend too will you see real world battery life
Mine came with about 90% charge, it's charged itself up to 100% now after being plugged in while I set it up etc.
Whats the best way to maximise the battery? Just keep letting it run down to around 5% and then plug it in for a full 100% charge each time?

^ pretty sure that's the worst thing you can do. Frequent top ups with the occasional deep charge (once a month) I think is the best for iPhone batteries.
Actually, there is no confirmed best way to optimise modern batteries, however, I would go along with what Apple say -

Just checked the Apple site and my order has went to "Preparing for Shipment"
And I can no longer cancel! Not long now! How long does it take them to Prepare it
?
Associate
Mine still says Processing items . When was the delivery estimate for before it changed to preparing for shipment?

My Delivery estimate is still the same which is 18th to 25th.
It was 21st to the 28th a few days ago.
