When I first got my 4S I had no problems with battery life until I updated as well but after researching the issue I found that a factory restore after update helped a little but not much. Finally I realized that my Skype was set to always be on-line and once i turned that off man did I start getting amazing results!! Now I can go a whole day and a half with moderate usage without having to charge.
The only issue I've had with my 4S is it seems to get very hot sometimes. And I don't mean just warm, I mean HOT like the processor is overheating hot. And when this happens the phone has just been sitting in my pocket. Its happened twice now and I'm trying to find something online to see if thats an issue with others as well.
well anyway Apple soon gonna release iPhone 5 but the battery issue still not solve again, i might just get iPAD 3 n the phone i would like to get WP8 ermmm did anyone know Sony Ericsson gonna release Xperia NOZOMi aka Xperia CLoud 1.5GHZ Dual-Core with 12MP ^_^
did you get any of the issues fixed? Thats too crazy not to complain to apple or tMobile about it because I have not had any of those problems, I think sometimes some people just get a bad device. I have had to have some things replaced here and there, but then they are fine.
go 2 settings>general>reset & click "reset location warnings". this will allow all apps previously running on older software 2 adjust 2 ios 5. u may also want 2 disable sending diagnostic automatically. settings>general> about> diagnotics & usage> check "dont send".
Hi Dave! Well I would suggest just getting a iPhone 4 and updating it to ios5. My white iPhone 4 on os5 is great and I am on the same networks as you(orange and tmobile). I have had no problems at all. Interesting video!
calibrate the battery. t-mobile is rubbish. i'm on o2. was with t-mob and no reception. weak. run the battery all the way down. then recharge up 8 hours even when it says its full. yes it gets hot. but mine is at the top near the camera.
You battery problem could be because you have been charging it when it is no completely flat, if you partially charge it or top it up half way through all rechargeable batteries develop a memory & will then not hold a full charge, try completely running down the battery & recharging it again, you will need to do this several times,
I think that it may be a faulty handset or it is the iPhone 4S in the UK as I am having a iPhone 4S in Singapore and my signal strength is just on 3G all the time, battery life good from start till now ( before and after the update ) and heat issues only if I am playing intensive games.
Dave... for goodness sake.... The iPhone 4S is still a new product. Give it time, Apple will post more software updates which will help to address these issues. When the iPhone 4 came out, people criticised it for bad signal strength.... over time apple released software updates to fix the issue and we all found out that it wash;t just the iPhone 4 which suffered from this kind of problem. Give it time and Apple will help to improve the experience. Also my iPhone 4S has no signal issues...
it was a minor update, the next update will major battery fix. Atleast thats what the rumor is.never had problems with service or wifi, i live in us though
what would be a better buy among the following two phones ,Samsung Galaxy y S5360 vs ZTE blade , they are priced the same in india.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
Everytime they release an Iphone there are major flaws, yet people still go crazy for them. I dont understand it. Sure they look nice but if they fail like this in one way or another why bother with them? My friends wildfire S that cost £140 can actually do more than the Iphone.
My problems started with the latest update, my battery life isnt as bad as yours but i do see a difference, my wifi is often connecting but not displaying the wifi icon at the top, the handset is warming up exactly as you decribed, id b happy if they got it fixed, no need for a new phone, couldnt really compare to the phone this is ment to be...
Hardware wise it's always seemed a bit of a turkey to me, just not enough innovation when the wider market has moved on. The only real game-changer is Siri, which is software, which would probably work ok on the iPhone 4, but they cant do that, they need it to drive 4S sales.
That said, i'll still get it, i'm due an upgrade and i've got too much invested in apps to go to Android. Hopefully the 5 will be better.
It pains me to hear these words coming from you but it's a problem, there's no ignoring it. I can't really comment on my phone since it's not a 4S but I hope the problem gets fixed! Sorry Dave
No overheating issues so far although I did an experiment today and with the 4S battery charged to 100% I switched WIFI and 3G off from 08.00 this morning. This remained the status all day but I did receive and send a couple of texts ; when I checked it again at 18.30 it was reading 95% - so that is interesting !
Have you restored your phone and set it up as new? Restoring the phone as new might fix the issue that you are experiencing. Try and do that and see the results. If it doesn't fix the problem, then there is a serious issue with 5.0.1
Hi Dave, One of the underlying issue's i have with the iPhone is Bluetooth,Battery,Expansion,Signal,Wifi. Even though i have not got an iphone 4s, I'm sick off Apple and it's lack of feature's that i need,Don't get me wrong, The IP4 is a fab hanset, I just feel that with SJ not there anymore, That thing's have slackened at Apple HQ,No body there cracking the whip. So i have ditched the handset and gone back to a SGS2,Waiting for the iP5 next year, Then i shall make my mind up weather to return:(
i just got my white iphone 4s today and i totally love it. But I did not update to 5.0.1 because i noticed on my 3gs that this updates drains the battery quicker. So i'll keep it on ios5 as long as possible :)
THE BATTERY IS GREAT BUT THERE IS A BUG THAT IF YOU ENABLE SOMETHING IT STARTS A SERVICE THAT DARIN ALL BATTERY, (TRY TO TO TURN OFF, IF IT TAKE LONG THIS SERVICE IS RUNNING END DRAINING -20% HOURS).
-ONLY SOME USERS HAVE THIS BUG.
-IF YOU SARE INFECTED TRY A HARD RESTART, IF IS STILL DOING THIS, REISTALL IOS END D O N T RESTORE THE BACKUP BECAUSE THIS WILL RESTORE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!
hi dave I think if you get rid of the 4s you will probably regret it after a few weeks. By the next update the battery issues should be completely fixed. Its weird yours has got worse since 5.0.1 as mine has got just a little bit better although have read a lot of people saying theirs has got worse since the update. from past experience if you sell an iPhone you always end up getting another a few months down the line.
Never had the battery issue. And have NOT downloaded the patch that's supposed to fix the battery issue. I like to leave it a couple of weeks before before downloading updates - that way people like you can find out the problems of the latest updates so I don't have to :) Shocking to hear it may have made the battery issue worse ! Thanks for the video Dave.
Dave iv got the iphone4 and with ios5 my battery was dreadful and I was getting the heat issue but I must admit with the 5.0.1 update I can go 2days without charge and no heat problem think it must be a 4s issue.
Dave I bought the iphone 4s from Apple, And if you ask Siri a question based around England, Then your screwed it only answers for USA and recently did Australia as well. When will apple be doing update for English speaking version so i can ask for chinese resturants or takeaways were i live, Thn get lame excuse American English bla bla .. Are you having same problem being from England too ...
@GeekVloggz Apparently many others have this problem with lion, The apple forums are full of people with this problem. but they will bring out an update.
I'm one of the lucky ones and have never had a any batteries issues with the 4S but i have experienced the no service issue many times and yes it does get hot at the bottom end of the phone.
@GeekVloggz Sell the 4S, £429 unlocked from Apple..... Spose it's an option if your battery is that bad.. Got to be better than WP7 and Android hasn't it!
@MrThomaswBryan Wi-Fi is a problem - it just doesn't want to connect to Wi-Fi networks sometimes - ridiculous. Also, if you've paid £500 on a phone and it has Bluetooth, you expect it to work. My old phone from 2006 handles Bluetooth better than that shit. Also good one for Dave - he has sense, but that doesn't mean the problem is fixed 100%, and should be forgotten about. It's Apple - I mean come on, every says how good they are, yet they can't design a phone correctly. Well done Apple!
I said this to you on twitter also, but why do you not just get it replaced by apple and see if it gets any better. You should try at least 1 replacement before ditching it :).
Dave if you ditch the 4s will you go back to your iPhone 4? If not which OS would you go for? Windows phone 7, Android out Nokia etc? Also when did you start experiencing these problems? Was it after you updated the iPhone 4s to 5.0.1?
Told you I would not judge, and I guess we (iPhone users) have been lucky with little issues in the recent past.. I'd say give Apple a chance to respond & react, but obviously that's up to you.
Battery Issue: There is an app on the Market with huge amounts of positive ratings of about 4 and a half / five star ratings and it's called Battery Doctor. It allows you to keep your battery in the best health by doing some tests on it, and it also gives you tips on how to prolong the battery life on your device. -Good little app!
Signal issue: You need to make sure that T-mobile have enable you to connect to Oranges signal where available. Just give them a call and they will sort you out.
:O im glad im not the only one doubting apple now. I am genuinely considering the S2 or the Bold 9900. Would be good to see some comparisons of the high end range of alternatives
Thats really bad Dave, I got my Galaxy S2 last weel so if I was you i'd get one of those, or maybe the Lumia 800 or Galaxy Nexus. But that's really bad and Apple really need to get their act together!
@GeekVloggz I absolutely love it! got a fantastic upgrade deal as well!! i was gonna go for the galaxy nexus but got the S2 cos it has a microSD slot, so it has 16GB internal plus my 16GB card, saves spending more money on a 32GB Nexus. but yeah brilliant phone! :)
Another top video, and points I can relate to having seen the 4S in action on a daily basis. Personally I'm wanting to change from my 3GS now, definitely want to go back to Android but not sure whether to sell the 3GS and get a similar price Android, or wait for an upgrade to a top-spec one.
Bloody hell. The iPhone 4s's battery is worse than HTC handsets and people complain about the battery life on the desire series but by midday I get about 90% battery life if I am not using the phone for much except checking e-mail and little things like that. Battery life is the next thing Apple should work on.

Some people have experienced your problems. The problems were fixed by them swapping the phone or changing the network provider.

Let me make a suggestion. iPhone 4.

@MrThomaswBryan I would, but no longer have one.

@GeekVloggz Sell the 4S, £429 unlocked from Apple..... Spose it's an option if your battery is that bad.. Got to be better than WP7 and Android hasn't it!

@MrThomaswBryan That's useless - Wi-Fi is still as bad, Bluetooth is shit and then there's the "deathgrip"...

@DylRicho Wi-Fi isn't a problem, Who uses Bluetooth on the iPhone and Dave uses a case!
MrThomaswBryan 3 months ago
@MrThomaswBryan Wi-Fi is a problem - it just doesn't want to connect to Wi-Fi networks sometimes - ridiculous. Also, if you've paid £500 on a phone and it has Bluetooth, you expect it to work. My old phone from 2006 handles Bluetooth better than that shit. Also good one for Dave - he has sense, but that doesn't mean the problem is fixed 100%, and should be forgotten about. It's Apple - I mean come on, every says how good they are, yet they can't design a phone correctly. Well done Apple!

Just go back to using your iPhone 4 Dave. You raved about it when it came out.

I said this to you on twitter also, but why do you not just get it replaced by apple and see if it gets any better. You should try at least 1 replacement before ditching it :).

@Steven1164318 I will give them a chance, but might just try something new.

@GeekVloggz True but last time you did that with the desire HD you went back to the iPhone :P

Dave if you ditch the 4s will you go back to your iPhone 4? If not which OS would you go for? Windows phone 7, Android out Nokia etc? Also when did you start experiencing these problems? Was it after you updated the iPhone 4s to 5.0.1?

@ecartman12 prob Win Phone 7 for a while. Depends if I get a Lumia to test that would be a good indicator. I have no iPhone 4 to go back to.

Told you I would not judge, and I guess we (iPhone users) have been lucky with little issues in the recent past.. I'd say give Apple a chance to respond & react, but obviously that's up to you.
Good luck Dave!

Battery Issue: There is an app on the Market with huge amounts of positive ratings of about 4 and a half / five star ratings and it's called Battery Doctor. It allows you to keep your battery in the best health by doing some tests on it, and it also gives you tips on how to prolong the battery life on your device. -Good little app!
Signal issue: You need to make sure that T-mobile have enable you to connect to Oranges signal where available. Just give them a call and they will sort you out.

:O im glad im not the only one doubting apple now. I am genuinely considering the S2 or the Bold 9900. Would be good to see some comparisons of the high end range of alternatives
blt90 3 months ago
@blt90 There are plenty of alternatives. I am liking the look of the Lumia 800 in sexy black.
GeekVloggz 3 months ago
Thats really bad Dave, I got my Galaxy S2 last weel so if I was you i'd get one of those, or maybe the Lumia 800 or Galaxy Nexus. But that's really bad and Apple really need to get their act together!

@XclusiveAaron How you finding the SGS2?
GeekVloggz 3 months ago
@GeekVloggz I absolutely love it! got a fantastic upgrade deal as well!! i was gonna go for the galaxy nexus but got the S2 cos it has a microSD slot, so it has 16GB internal plus my 16GB card, saves spending more money on a 32GB Nexus. but yeah brilliant phone! :)

@JSantana319 pretty good, much better than my HTC Desire was

Another top video, and points I can relate to having seen the 4S in action on a daily basis. Personally I'm wanting to change from my 3GS now, definitely want to go back to Android but not sure whether to sell the 3GS and get a similar price Android, or wait for an upgrade to a top-spec one.

Bloody hell. The iPhone 4s's battery is worse than HTC handsets and people complain about the battery life on the desire series but by midday I get about 90% battery life if I am not using the phone for much except checking e-mail and little things like that. Battery life is the next thing Apple should work on.
