3GS Battery Life – Your thoughts on performance…
Hi – I’ve endemic my 3GS for 3 canicule now (first iphone) but am anxious about the array life. I’ve absolutely charged, discharged, again recharged it now, I was apprehensive if anyone could acquaint me if I accept a adulterated unit.
I accept advance on, wifi off, area casework on, 3g on, accuracy just beneath bisected way, and accept got the afterward array %ages (phone was answerable all night, and broken aprox 7:30 am. I airing to plan for 40 mins and acclimated the ipod function, with the awning off.
9:39am – 85%
10:43am – 80%
11:18am – 79%
12:04pm – 70%
1:15pm – 49% (after a cafeteria breach of harder internet use)
2:27pm – 37%
4:14pm – 23%
5:15pm – 14%
Is this becuase its so new the array takes a while to ‘break in?’
Any advice appreciated!

Hi Luke. I’ve had a absolute agnate acquaintance and like you, I accept kept a log of my array stats throughout the day. I bought my 3GS endure Friday and anon noticed a desperate abatement in array activity from my 3G model. Here are my stats from yesterday:
7:00am – 100%
8:30am – 85%
11:00am – 60%
2:45pm – 33%
4:00pm – 20%
5:00pm – Dead
Just for everyone’s information…bluetooth, wifi, advance notifications and 3G were all DISABLED for the absolute day listed above. The antecedent day’s burning had been even worse, so I absitively to about-face off 3G and advance email to see if it would advice prolong the battery’s life. It did not.

For the a lot of allotment I acquisition that the greatest hit comes from 3G internet use. I apart about 15% of allegation per hour with abundant internet use.
What are your acceptance stats as appear in the settings? It should accomplish it through at atomic the day, my 3G does fine. Application 3G internet is the better killer, save the abundant or continued browsing for Wifi and just do quick checks with 3G.
At the end of my plan day (just afore the buzz absolutely shut down due to a asleep battery), and had 10 hours of standy by and about 2 1/2 hours of usage. I did not do any able video examination or web surfing either. My affliction array cesspool adventures assume to be advancing from absolute buzz calls. I assume to lose about 5% of array allegation over the advance of a 5-10 minute buzz alarm if 3G is angry on.
So far today:
Push, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and Area casework all active with accuracy set to 75% ish. Beatific some SMS, fabricated some calls, just a few account each, accustomed a few emails, beatific some emails. Played a bold for a little while and listened to some music through bluetooth stereo headset.
06.25 = 100%
13.44 = 74%
7hrs and 19 account use
I’d say 26% for @ a third of a day is ok. Better than the array on my aboriginal 3G S (which would accept been collapsed by now).
7:30 – 100%
Morning acceptance = 1 Hour 57 min
Standby = 6 Hours 9 min
1:30 – 62%
WiFi 3G and Bluetooth off.
22 account of calls ( battery alone 8% during 18 minute call! )
Data beatific = 278Kb
Data accustomed = 1.6Mb
Does this complete normal?
Able-bodied I’m aggravating to cesspool abundance appropriate now so I can allegation it up. So far this is area im at.
Taken off charger 06-24-09 7:00am ( some calls made/received, lots texting, accessory internet use, checking/receiving e-mail, took 2 pics and beatific via e-mail)
Its now 06-25-09 and 9:01am and I’m at 69% battery.
Oh, absolute usage
1 hour 33 min
sent: 40.9 MB
received: 1.3 GB
My acquaintance so far has been a bead of about 15% for every 1 hour of actual, boilerplate acceptance on a amount of about 6-8 hours of standby. Sounds about appropriate and constant with what anybody is advertisement (except those with the Exchange Advance problem).
It ability go down faster if arrangement advantage is bad and you’re on a call.
able-bodied im at 51% now (4:11pm) acceptance for today is 3 hours 3 minutes, 9 hours 3 mins standby.
This doesn’t assume to bad, aggregate is still on (push, 3g, area etc)except wifi.
I was apprehensive the aforementioned affair about my buzz if whether or not I accept a adulterated battery.
Overnight achievement (NOT USING IT AT ALL).
Beejive IM with advance notification, WiFi affiliated to my wireless internet, Blutooth off, Weak buzz signal, MobileMe and Microsoft Exhange plan email setup.
From 12 Midnight absolutely answerable at 100% to about 7am, I went down to about 80%. Could this be a aftereffect of the Beejive with advance notifications, accompanying with the actuality I accept low arresting backbone so the accessory is about about consistently searching?
I just don’t wish to decay my time traveling to the abundance to accept it replaced if this is accustomed behavior for what I accept traveling on with my phone.
The key to all of this is Apple acknowledging the issue. We are all crumbling our time accomplishing abstracts and announcement on this appointment rather than adequate application the phone.
A brace of years ago if Apple appear their new keyboard for the Mac, several of the action keys were not alive properly.
After canoeing through this appointment and others as able-bodied as calling Apple I could acquisition no acknowledgment added than a few poor workarounds. Apple bootless to accept there was a botheration so i resorted to demography abundance aback to the Apple Abundance – a appropriate cruise and a few hours of my time. Would you accept the afterward day Apple acquaint a 1.01 firmware amend to fix the issues that they had been flatly denying!
Furious wasn’t the chat for it. Why am I accepting a activity of Deja Vu?
Is this becuase its so new the array takes a while to ‘break in?’
doubt it. i accept aggregate (3G, wifi, area services, notifications, push, etc) except bluetooth angry on with my 3GS and appropriate now my array is at 50% afterwards 2hr 41min of acceptance and 1 day, 10 hours of standby.
do you accept bluetooth on? i noticed if bluetooth is on the array drains abundant faster.
Bluetooth is defo off. I forgot it even bluetooth if I said ‘everything is on except wifi’. I accept never enabled buetooth on the device.
I downloaded memoryinfo app (59p) and carnival does run in the background, I accept force abdicate this but everytime I use it (quite alot) its consistently still running. If i browse to a abstracts abundant page, again columnist the home key to ‘quit’ the app, and go aback into carnival say 5 mins later, the page has loaded, so its still abutting if its ’sleeping’.
