Good.
I really can't see it getting improved, if there was a big gremlin causing a drain i would have been fixed by now.
Depends on what "little to no use" means. If no use means the occasional text, but nothing much beyond that, 32 hours is quite poor. I guess I'd get around 32 hours with my normal use, on 3G (waking up at 8 at around 100%, getting back home after an hour of phone calls and some surfing/texting with around 65% or so left. Okay, after typing that, I'd actually say longer. I'd get home in time to put the thing on charge on the second day.
oli356, sounds like a battery meter calibration problem...a full discharge then charge back up might help, then normal use afterwards.

So I'm up to 8 hours use, 22% battery and standby time 1 day 21 hours
seems really good to me. Only had mine a few days but currently i'm showing 36% with 3.34 usage and 13hrs standby. Doesn't seem too great. I think i've turned quite a few of the obvious things off to be honest.

Is there any way to unlock the network on these if the network provider refuses to do it? My understanding is that its done via apple so I assume its a no go?

Quick question. I retrieved my gmail contacts by setting up gmail as an exchange account. Are new contacts added automatically synced with gmail or will I have to sync them manually and if so, how?
There is a definite bug with the current IOS that I think affects most people.
If your Usage and Standby in General > Usage tracks really close to each other then you have the bug, if it's more like 30 minutes usage to a day when your not using it much your phone is fine.
Annoyingly my phone seemed to fix itself while I was in Scotland over xmas, it stayed fixed for about 3 weeks until I needed to restart the phone where the bug came straight back.
Without the bug the battery was using maybe 20% per day, with the bug it's about 80% per day.
I really can't believe they haven't fixed this yet, it's a complete **** take and really make them look like they simply don't give a ****. Any other phone would have been slated if it did this for so many months.
Oh and I've tried everything so far to fix this bug, nothing has worked for me. It seems like pure luck if you get it or not every time you start the phone.

Which was made 42 years agoYou must have got a prototype battery from the iPhone 5.
Has anyone installed the Beta 5.1 os?
I did over a week ago and the battery amazing at the moment, I have the ability to turn of just 3G and I no longer suffer from that annoying signal drop where the phone gets stuck with No service on in Searching...
At the moment I run with 3G off all the time, and my phone with good usage lasts over two days easily now.
If, they improve on the Beta even more we could end up with the phone being vastly improved compared to its state at release.

See my post from a couple pages back
Ah, good stuff.
I agree, the current beta is a good step in the right direction.
It boggles the mind that simple things like the 3G switch were omitted in the first place.
I read so many posts with people claiming it was impossible and that the chip set used in the phone couldn't allow it.
They all promptly disappeared after Beta 3 came around
I suspect it's related to Apple controlling the user experience.
Siri needs 3G and people toggling it off might be confused when it doesn't work and get a bad impression.
The 3G switch is still there on the 4.
