********** The all new "Official" iPhone 4S thread - Keep all the iPhone 4S stuff in here **********

Is there a test we can do that would show the 200 hour standby. Personally I dont think it will last even 100 hours on standby with no use at all

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.

200 hours my ****, I've done all the tricks mentioned and mine's still averaging about 2% an hour whilst not in use.

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

Cheers for that.

Mine went to 80% last night but that was with wifi and location services off!

Just surprised it goes down so much when idle. I've been using it a lot today, music, YouTube and at 60%, so lost the same amount of battery in same space of time... Strange.
 
I've noticed something odd.

I use Wifi in the office and at home but, when I pick the phone up and hit the button to wake it, I notice it says 3G at the top for a second or so, then switches to Wifi again.

This suggests that the Wifi is being disabled when it goes into standby, which presumably means any network communication whilst in standby mode will go over 3G and thus contribute to my contract data usage.

If it's doing this to save power then I'd have assumed it'd save a lot more by leaving Wifi enabled and switching off the 3G but, if what has been suggested is true and the new chipset doesn't allow this, maybe Apple are forced to do it this way round. Does the 4 or older handsets do this too?
 
One thing I have noticed from looking into these tweeks is that in system services, "compass calibration" and "setting time zone" are constantly "using your location". Except you dont know this because the status notification is set to off by default.

I have now disabled the following in system services (and enabled the notification):

Compass Calibration
Location-based iAds
Settings Time Zone
Traffic

I would've disabled Diagnostics & Usage, but this hasnt accessed anything within the last 24 hours, so dont think it does much.
 
I've noticed a pattern with my Battery life. I dock it on a night and wake up around 6.00am. It then gets undocked and is at 100%. By midday it is generally at 65-60% and now its 1.45pm and its showing 59%

Thats with me texting and checking my emails. Wouldnt say it was heavy usage.

I deffo have to dock mine every night. I just about manage 18hrs out of it

Keep us updated with what you find out.

I don't know what half of all those settings mean for me and if I'd use them or not. :D

I noticed this too, so i have disabled....

Compass Calibration
Location-based iAds
Settings Time Zone

The others i've left for now...

Just let my phone die for the first time since having it, will see what happens.....

I've read people sorting/improving it by doing a reset back to factory settings, and starting from scratch without restoring from a backup. May try that but i've just got it all how i like it...
 
Crowd-sourced? Sorry what do you mean by that? :)

EDIT: So it wont for example affect the maps app displaying traffic levels?
