- Accidental PostSlayer of MisinformationUpdate:
Just got back from my Apple store. Seems Exchange PUSH maybe the culprit. Turned my account to fetch every15 mins will let you all know. The "genius" showed me his phone standby was at 1 day 14 hours and had 40% battery left. I told him set mine up like yours......Last edited by Accidental Post; 11-02-11 at 01:25 PM.

I'm going to turn my Push off and set my Fetch to hourly. I don't use email for work so it's not a big deal to have it update on it's own once an hour. I'm just curious if the Push really effects the battery that much, even though I haven't had a real issue with my battery.11-02-11 02:14 PMLike 0
- Accidental PostSlayer of MisinformationIt seems that there is an issue with PUSH mail. Push means when it hits the server you get it. Fetch means just that I will fetch my email at this interval...15 30 60 mins and so on.
Although my battery still sucks with all accounts fetching.11-02-11 02:15 PMLike 0 - ok remember. back up on icloud first. then connect to itunes and restore. itunes will download ios5 which took about 30 minutes. then once done...disconnect from itunes and start from ur iphone and back up from icloud option. 2 things ive noticed since finishing up at 1:30 or so. my battery at 97% in which before would be in the 80's. and phone doesnt feel warm anymore...crossing my fingersAccidental Post likes this.11-02-11 02:19 PMLike 1

Tomorrow I might play around with emails and see how it goes if I turn Push off and use Fetch. Can't really complain about my battery, but am curious to see if it does even better.11-02-11 07:45 PMLike 0 - Thanks for the Facebook tip sj !

Have someone post on your your Facebook wall and you will notice you will get an alert instantly on your Facebook icon on ur iPhone. Try it and post your finding....

11-02-11 08:13 PMLike 0 - Ok so what is the push for then? And with email I have
One set to fetch every 15 min. With push still on. Should I slide push to off ?11-02-11 08:23 PMLike 0 - You have both push on and fetch on because you must have an email that only does fetch. FYI your iCloud email does push. You can leave push ON. Just make sure all emails on fetch instead of push. Though tommorrow I might just turn push OFF completely. I have my fetch at 30 min and emails coming in at a good pace with no significant delays11-02-11 08:32 PMLike 0
- Ok. So i went to the Facebook deal in settings and there were a dozen or so icons to turn off. All should be set to off correct ?11-02-11 08:37 PMLike 0

- i can say im very satisfied after i restored my iphone with fresh install from itunes. at 1pm i was at 100%...driving home stuck in traffic i updated 2-3 apps...wifi on at office and home...11pm...ten hours later battery at 35%...do the math...65% lost battery charge divided into 10 hrs...thats a total of 6.5% of battery lost p/hour. this is awesome considering prior to this afternoon i was frustrated and losing 12%-15% p/hour battery charge. and my iphone is not getting hot anymoreperiwinklemoon likes this.11-02-11 10:13 PMLike 1
