iPhone 5 Battery Life

[654321]

mine went down 5%. what are your charging habits?

i charge it to 100% most of the time and occasionally do a full discharge/charge cycle. 5% is too much. Sometimes mine drops to 99% but I believe this could be due to inaccurate battery meter because after reboot it goes back to 100%.

maybe you can try to do a reset all settings and try again.

Mine used to be good. Dunno why yesterday suddenly like battery drain a lot. Not sure if stinktel is to be blamed, but I read somewhere weak signal causes battery drain. Was at a place where my phone was struggling between the O and 3G and then it started to drain 10% every hour, without me doing anything much.

Overnight drain used to be 3-4% but last night is 8% for just ~7 hours.

simple to test this. just turn off mobile data and watch how difficult it is to drain the batt.

Totally agree on this, biggest battery killer on ip5 is the mobile data

Please keep such comment to urself.

we are discussing a batt life far less than the advertised 8 hrs on LTE/3G.

不是不让马儿吃草，是吃得太快！

它吃得太快，就把它送走吧。Go back to old phone, can last 3 days.
I'm correct la. 又要马儿跑，又要马儿不吃草。

After weeks of monitoring, I think my best usage as a heavy user, with lots of whatsapp, and surfing game as well as games.. is around 4 hours plus..

How about you guys?

 

[DQUEK123]

My usage is also WA, web surfing and phone calls. Quite heavy on the WA...

My Standby is 10 hr. usage 6.5hr (left 30% and LTE on 24 hours)

Consider good already...

I re-charge it every time I leave office or driving in the car.

Yesterday I was at home so I used wifi to surf net. Play games and Sent some SMS, got about 5 hours with 20% left

Suggest that if u went into a place with weak signal, off the data to prevent battery drain.

my refub set battery normally last ard 5-6 hrs while connected to wifi and 3-5 hrs while on LTE, 1hr+ better than my original.

i agree that mobile data connection is the battery killer. even though ur connection strength may be showing full bar, that does not mean that there's strong signals at the area, it may also mean the phone is doing its max at working at the connection which will drain alot of battery

Actually for a lot of phones, mobile data sucks a lot of batt.

My GS2 battery 22% left after ~4 hours of data use.

My phone batt life plunges when 3G is turned on, even when all apps are shut down and phone is idle.

I wish apple can address if there is a prob or not. 5hour seems like the max this phone can produce on medium 3G usage. Dun know want to go thru the trouble to change. And in the mean while bros. your black edges got peel le ma?

how? when u receive it perfectly outta the box, then its not their issue alrdy. The coating is what it is right from the start of the anodizing process. even they change one for u. eventually will also be like this.

I think juz wait when warranty ending then change a refur set lo. LOL

My wife complains her iPhone 4S batt life too short. I always tell her 又要马儿跑，又要马儿不吃草。As long as you like the phone, why you care about the batt life. Like my friends, carry extra battery pack. Now they don't have complain anymore. I had iPhone 3G and 3GS. I know the pain......Accept the fact unless your phone really got hardware fault.
