Title: 4S Battery Advice
Post by: JulesS3 on 25 October 2011, 08:47

For those of you with the 4S who are concerned about the battery i have some tips

I am on 17% battery with plenty of use at this moment in time, no that impressive but then i took it off charge on sunday at 9am  :cool:

Go to
settings>Location Services>System Services
and do this

Also turn down brightness a bit and switch off data other than wifi while at home

Enjoy  :wink:

Siri is perfect for me. I take it you have an accent? Its in beta and wasnt designed for anything other than english spoken clearly (i.e. no northen tones, dodgy vowel sounds etc)  :wink:

It uses none of my battery unless i use it either. These 3 days i have had it on the whole time  :cool:

Although i had a little bit of sarcasm in that post, it is true. Its in Beta and if you dont speak similar to the voice spoken back to you it will struggle to understand you.

Could try changing the language and going for american or australian, the american gives you the female voice too  :cool:

Turn your 3g off when not using the web will greatly improve also

the same applies to most phones, turn off the sh!t you dont need when its in your pocket and your not using it. i could get the galaxy S to around 3 days just doing the normal calling/texting.

i know people who have everything on all of the time (wifi, GPS, bluetooth, ect ect) and complain about battery life  :tongue:

I have done the settings that Jules posted and with constant heavy use (playing 3D games on the train to and from work, wifi on ALL day and being used, phone and texts) my battery easily lasts a day.

I think some people find it far to easy to just complain rather than trying to resolve an problem. No issues with me.

Amen!

When they make an iphone that lasts more than a day with heavy usage then i'll be impressed, until then, as long as it does last the day, I don't care :smiley: Charge every night and its not a problem.

I suspected it was a bug because I have owned a 3G, 4 and now a 4S and the 4S is by far the worst battery life of the 3 and it is supposed to have a better battery!

And I don't use it any differently than my 4 really, so something's wrong.

iSO 5 5.0.1 released now, so hopefully the problem has been solved!
