Kind of renders the phone useless though..

Whilst you're asleep?

Disable unwated Notifications & apps: Settings > Notifications > Turn OFF for anything you don’t need
Disable Location Service: Settings > Location Services > Disable selectively for services you don’t use
Disable Location Service: Settings > Location Services > System Services > Disable selectively for services you don’t use (e.g. Location based iAds)
Disable Timezone Adjustment: Tap on “Settings” > “Location Services” > ‘System Services’ > Setting Time Zone to OFF
Disable Ping: Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Ping > OFF
Disable Diagnostic & Usage Reports: Tap on “Settings” > General > About > Diagnostic & Usage > Don’t Send

If restrictions arent enabled anyway, is there any point making the ping setting change?

If restrictions arent enabled then everything is set to on

Really impressed with the camera in low light i tell you.

Overall, loving the iPhone 4S

Nice Cerwins and pics in general. Here's a couple from me in low light. Camera is 10 times better than the 3GS

So i've been away for a few days, is there any new news on a Jailbreak for the iP4S? Preferable untethered, thought i'd take either right now!

Really missing my Lockinfo, Infinifolders, Springtomize, SBSettings etc...

My battery level actually went up today! Was reporting 80% then, a short while later, 84%!

Something's definitely borked.

My battery has been fine so far, about the same as the 3GS as far as I can tell.

I would try running the phone until the battery dies and then charging right up until full to make sure everything is calibrated right.

Compared to the 3GS the camera is on another level, very happy with the upgrade.

Only thing disappointing is the battery life, go to bed with my alarms on with 100%, wake up six hours later with 75%... 3GS was always at least 95%!

I tested battery last night.
Unplugged it at 11:15pm when at 100%
by 6:30am it was down to 92% (so 7 hours 15 mins) by 7:15am it was 90%

by 7.15 that was with 3 alarms going off, wireless on, mobile data on, cloud on. Didnt get any notifications and guessing screen brightness, vibration etc doesnt matter because they were not used

sorry if this has been answered here before but is it better to drain the phone every time then charge or top up before it gets low

 

[Feek]

I never do, it gets a full charge every night and then goes in my car charger for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening.

 

[Marff]

Still processing but its due to be delivered by the 25th so cant be long till they (apple) dispatch it.. I hope.

My battery, for the most part has been ok, but i think Whatsapp eats quite a lot of it....

I started using it the same time i got the 4S so cant be sure which is to blame... May try a day or so without it and see if it makes a difference.....

I pretty much do the same thing, got a dock by the side of the bed, it's great for alarm clock or knowing the time ect. also use the torch app to use as a beside light lol.

Done that twice now in an attempt to 'bed' the battery in, will just top-up charge it from now on and see how it goes. TBH it'll be on charge each night and in the car anyway most of the time so battery life is unlikely to be an issue.

There seems to be a lot of concern generally about the battery life on the 4S, specifically how much it runs down when not being used due to background processes and updates etc. Last night I charged it right up to 100% and then unplugged it before I went to bed. This morning, nine hours later, it was at 84%. I did receive 4 emails and 19 facebook notifications during the night but, other than that, it was unused. Does that sound reasonable battery usage?

It's probably being delivered by UK Mail. Put your tracking number and the additional order number into their system.

ok, just tried but coming up with nothing

Edit: ah on the syncreon site

Hinckley is 71mile away from me

not long now

Remember standby time has gone down to 200 hours so even though you're not doing anything with the phone during the night, it's not as efficient as those prior.

I only get ~80 with no use. See above post

 

[fieldy]

got mine on Monday night ran the battery flat then gave it a full charge, it was at 100% on tuesday night (was still that by wednesday morning) and its only just got down to 20% left pretty happy with that nearly 2 days on one charge!
