I use my 4S the exact same way I used my 3GS (I also had a 3G before that) and I get BETTER battery life from my 4S than either of the previous two, while using it the exact, same way!
I am not a stranger to critizing Apple (I bought an iPhone 4 and had to return it due to dropped calls/crappy reception......I've knocked Apple and the iPhone 4 here), but I am pleasantly surprised by my iPhone 4S battery life...
Additionally, I really love the whole/entire iPhone 4S experience, much improved over my short iPhone 4 taste.....
The only thing I disabled was iTunes syncing over WiFi. Before after 12 hours my phone would be dead. Today after that change I'm still sitting on 73% battery life and it's been 12 hours.
Yeah, okay. I wouldn't want to make a suggestion that would help anyone. As soon as I figure out how to do it, consider it one. And please don't offer any helpful suggestions.

Yeah, yeah, blah blah, spammer covering up his ad campaign that was shot down the second it left the hangar.
I have problems with my iPhone 4 ever since i upgrade to iOS 5. All my colleagues and friends have similar issues as well with iOS5 draining battery much faster then iOS 4.3
Uh… you can only sync to iTunes over Wi-Fi if you're PLUGGED INTO POWER.
That's true, but I experimented over a few nights last week. Turning Wi-Fi sync off resulted in no battery drain over 7 hours on my 4S. Turning Wi-Fi sync on resulted in a 7% battery drop in the same time frame with all other settings the same. I suspect that maintaining the connection to the router (staying ready to sync, possibly?) is one possible battery drain.
Even when not connected to power, my iPhone shows up in my iTunes when I am in a Wi-Fi coverage area. It must take some kind of power to maintain the connection, shouldn't it?
Battery issues isn't anything new from Apple. After I updated my good old iPhone 3GS to some latest of version (can't remember the exact number) i got the same issue, the problem was resolved via software update in mater of few weeks.
Hopefully this will be the same thing as I have ordered iPhone 4S and looking to received it next week and don't want to experience this issue

Your first post here was to lay down some fake story and shamlessly plug something?
Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up here.
Sorry, dude. Not plugging anything. Just a frustrated iPhone user who solved a battery issue even if Apple does not. Cynical?

Then go remove the plug URL from your post.

Your trolling is weak. Please, try harder.
Not trolling at all,- there's a reason the Morphie pack is such a big seller.

But have since sorted it out and the
battery life is NOW GREAT!!
Go to settings > location services >
System services > and switch off
'setting time zone' and this will stop
Your betters draining, as for some
reason it was constantly on.,, I guess Apple
Will fix in an update soon.
Also don't have all of your email accounts
On ,push' have your main one on push
And any others on fetch or manual.
And lastly do not have LED Flash for alerts
Switched on in accessibility as this also
Drains the battery
Do as above and your battery will be
Spot on, GIVE IT A TRY!!
Based on what I've read in other iPhone threads, I would guess to:
- Turn off Location Services
- Turn off Wifi
- Lower screen brightness
Just basic stuff. LCD's have always been battery drainers, as has Wifi.
You gotta turn off the WiFi. That conserves a lot of battery. If you're not surfin', turn OFF the WiFi.
Other than that, battery is okay compared to iPhone 4. Push mail is flaky though.
I had terrible battery life on my 4S

No - you don't need to have your phone plugged into power to sync with iTunes over wifi. I'm syncing my iPhone right now...
Unless you mean auto-sync?

The Hell's wrong with you? Mine won't let me sync WITHOUT being plugged into mah computer.
I wish they had 3G sync. Oh, and does your computer HAVE to be on for this?

Okay, maybe it's just the iPad.
