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

So i have my iphone 4S arriving tomorrow, can i just plug this straight into itunes and authorise it, even though i have my iphone 4 authorised with it too?
 
Ye that's fine :) as long as your phones unlocked or on 3 it will be fine :)

If you want the sim card to fit perfect, buy a micro sim cutter otherwise just use a microsim as a template when cutting :)
The phone came direct from Vodafone and i want to use a 3 sim. I guess i will have to get it unlocked!

Thanks.
 
Got my replacement today, hoping for the best. Nice experience getting it.

Book appointment on phone (booked it this morning), got to Apple store, asked the woman by the door, she checked me in on her iPad, went and sat at the empty genius bar, few minute wait, few minutes of diagnostics, few minutes of the 'genius' dealing with the exchange.
 
After getting rid of my 4S and going to a 4 instead one thing I did notice gaming is the back of the 4S got very hot where as I get no heat at all from the 4. I know its a better chip but it was like a pocket warmer!
 
Think my gf needs to return hers, 9am it was at 100%, it has sat on the table not being used and when I just checked it a minute ago it was at 80%, no apps in the background, spotlight search off, push off etc

Especially annoying for her since this is the first phone she has bought in years and was pretty excited about it in the beginning ut feeling pretty let down now when she see's my ip4 still on 96% with use.
 
Sorry to change topic, but what's spotlight search? I'm trying to help my gf's battery too.
As far as I can remember its when you go to the springboard and swipe all the way left or press the home button again. Just the search thing, though I don't see why this would help battery at all.

Spotlight won't make a difference with battery life. Have you tried turning off Setting Time Zone (and everything else apart from Compass Calibration and Traffic) in the Location Services menu?
 
Finally got fed up with android and its abysmal market and programs that are just poor,
So I sold my sensation and bought a 32gb iphone 4s, and omg I love it, so much more polished and refined than android.

But like most others here, the battery life sucks, I'm getting about 32 hrs with very little or no use or about 18 - 20hrs with heavier use. regardless of my real usage the phone always reports 50 - 85% use in comparison to standby times even though its not me using it.
Looking through these posts I see an ios beta 3 looking like it fixes the usage part so kills whatever is draining everyone battery, but anyone know how long before it gets released?.
 
After my replacement, can't say its any better. Hardly done anything on it today.
Time Battery Usage: Standby:
8.30: 94% 43 mins - 2 hours 57
9:01 92% 45 mins - 3hours 30
9:40 82% -- for some reason my usage from now on showed "--"
11:01 80%
13:25 68%
14:37 64%
15:12 59% - apps loaded: Spotify, whatsapp, app store, safari, FB, Photos
16:12 54%
16:25 52% - apps loaded: BBC, Flipboard, Facebook, App store
17:42 48%
18:31 43% - cydia browsing
18:38 41% cydia browsing
19:41 38%
21:00 31%
21:44 22% - 35 min phone call
23:00 12%

Nothing has really been in the MT bar as I've hardly used the phone today (not like browsed the internet or played games on it)
Uninstalled loads of applications, everything which should be disabled is... This is getting stupid now.
EDIT: I let the phone die out of battery and turn off, when it turned back on it was at 5% and within 20 minutes (probably less) it was like 25% battery, that can't be right surely.
