My device is: Sprint iPhone 4S 32GB I understand that the iPhone automatically switches back to 3G from Wi-Fi in standby to conserve battery. The problem with that is that I have bad coverage inside my house and it drains my battery because my iPhone is always trying to get a 3G signal. Simple fix to that is to go to settings > General > Network and turn off Cellular Data which in terms turns off 3G and forces all data via Wi-FI (If you have a Wi-Fi network set up)?
When I do this my iPhone sends and receives iMessage quickly because it is sending them over Wi-Fi, but as I press the power button and lock my screen approximately after 15 seconds my iPhone turns off the Wi-Fi and it is left with no connection thus my iMessage and emails no longer get pushed, including face time calls and any other app that uses push. Is this an issue for everyone? Because I read the forums and users say their iPhone remains with Wi-Fi on during standby. It would be nice if you could test this theory and state what carrier you are on and so on.
I have "Show WLAN availability" set to on. The question is - does it scan for WLAN when the display is on or all the time, even when the phone is in standby and the display is off?
My WiFi settings are checked for WiFi to never sleep; however, when my screen is off and the phone is on Standby, after a short while the WiFi disconnects. When the screen is turned on, the WiFi again connects. I assumed that the Advanced WiFi setting of "Never Sleep" would prevent this allowing me to remain connected on Skype etc. while on Standby. Does this indicate a problem with the phone or am I missing something?I have done a factory reset but the problem still persists.
I've noticed that when sitting at home, one of my biggest idle battery drains is cell standby. Normally that would make sense, but I've been on WiFi the entire time my phone has been off the charger. As the screenshots show, both the WiFi and cell standby are sucking juice at the same time.
add another issue to the pile already building.. i have my iphone to set to autolock after 1 minute, its now been 5 minutes and the screen is still fully lit, sitting on the text message i sent 5 minutes ago. It will not dim the screen or go into standby at all. have a feeling im not the only one with this issue. i remember my 3gs went into standby VERY quickly once you stopped using it.
My iphone 4 battery seems to be draining way too quickly. I just charged it up to 100%. Disconnected it and made sure that the following things were turned off: wifi, location services, notifications, mail. I double clicked the home button and closed all applications.
I am using 1% battery per hour. Usage reads 2 hours 5 minutes. Stand By reads 2 hours 5 minutes. Does this make sense? How can usage and stand by be the same when I have done nothing except hit the home button twice and looked at the battery strength?
my usage has been the same as my standby. which I assume means that ever since my iPhone has begun it's new "cycle" since the full charge. it's been "working". Normally I'd go through a charge cycle as almost 2 days of standby and 8-ish hours of usage; however last night my battery drained nearly 15%, and I noticed my usage increased to 17 hours. indicating that it had been active overnight. That I guess has continued today, since my usage and standby are both near 3 hours. what is going on all of a sudden? What apps may be running in the background and why?
My 4s is having serious battery issues. I do not have the option of taking it to an apple store. Nearest is 4 hours away. Done a hard reset. Did a restore as new. The phone loses 5-10% per hour in standby. The phone dies in 6-8 hours being mostly in standby. Standby and usage times are the same. I have everything on the phone turned off, no apps installed, I haven't activated my mail client, etc. Nothing is on the phone since restoring it as new. With wifi off, cellular data/roaming off, and location services off I still lose the same amount. Version 5.1.1(9B206) The phone used to work fine. I would have to charge it every other day.
also when i press the sleep button the same problem occours, the only temporary solution i have found is to twist the phone gently at the top when the problem arises, it may be a hardware problem given that twisting it fixes it, yet i want to know if there is anything worth trying before taking it to get repaired?
My Iphone 4s is 8 months old and has always worked flawlessly. Since two weeks, however, I am experiencing a serious drop in battery life. I found out that the reason seems to be that the Iphone is working while in standby: my usage and standby stats are very close: for example, I wake up having charged the Iphone to 100% just before getting to bed, to find the usage stats say "7 hours of standby and 6 hours and 30 minutes of usage, and the battery percentage at 65%!! While I would literally not have touched the Iphone at all! Before the battery percentage would after 7 hours of not touching it be at 94 or 96%. In fact, the Iphone now lasts less than a day, I have to recharge every 18 or so hours on the basis of a usage of maybe 2 hours!
I have
- rebooted
- reset all settings
- deleted some, but not all, recently installed apps
- deleted e-mail accounts and re-installed them
- turned off 3g and wifi and notifications and location services and 'find my iphone' and, well, many other things.
- thought hard about what I did just before this change in battery life occurred which might have caused it, but can't think of anything significant. None of these bring back my iphone to anything close to its previous battery usage.
I work in a place where there is zero AT&T reception, but WiFi coverage in 100% of the area. I just read that iOS4 will allow WiFi to stay connected even when the device is in standby,, IS THIS TRUE?!And if so, could I just get a skype landline number, stay connected to WiFi, and use my iPhone 4 at work through Skype?
I've set up my iP4 as a New phone and did NOT restore from a previous backup. I did a full charge to 100%, reset the data usage and made sure all apps were closed. I put it the phone to sleep (clicked power button) and I went to sleep. I woke up this morning and woke the phone up; 4% was used after 6hrs and 50min of standby time, there was no other usage.
Doing some quick math this would equate to 170.83 hours of standby time assuming a linear relationship; 56.94% of the 300hrs on the spec sheet.
410min/4% = 102.50min/% of standby use 102.5min*100/60 = 170.83 hours
This seems pretty light given the standby time rating. I'm hoping I can get others to perform the same test to get a decent sample of performance, please post your findings.
I have noticed that the standby and usage times on my iPhone 4 are exactly the same. This isn't a coincidence. It has been like this since the first day I got it. Why is this?
From what I can remember from my first gem iPhone, the times were different. Why's it the same on the iPhone 4?
What gives? My usage is showing 30 hours as well as my stand by time, theyre exactly the same.I restarted the phone and now while they are different , they are still proportional with each other. After one minute of usage, both the usage and standby time increase.
A few days ago, all of a sudden, without any changes made to the settings or operating system (5.0.1), my 4S' Usage and Standby time has been identical. Even when the phone sits for hours or overnight in Airplane Mode, with all apps fully closed, Usage time continues to be identical to Standby time, and the battery is draining at the rate of Usage rather than Standby. I've also let the battery drain completly and then fully charged the phone.
I've done several hard resets, shut off Location Services, Bluetooth, Siri, Cellular Data, etc, and this issue continues.

I have an iPhone 4S and I charged my phone last night and unplugged it once it got to 100% then left it overnight for standby, it was around 98% and when I woke up, it dropped 20% down to 78%. when i checked my usage, my usage and standby times were exactly the same at 7 hours and 23 minutes. I powered off my phone and turned it back on, and it resumed as normally with the standby time usually being higher than usage.
I have problems with my iphone 3gs running on ios5.0.1, the battery usage and standby time are always equal. And it drains my battery way too fast, I disabled all the settings on my device, I also removed tweaks from cydia that for me causes the problem. The tweaks I have left are: SBrotator 5, zyphere, killbackground, nowplaying, activator, gravi board. But all of the tweaks that I mentioned are all disabled!
I have an iPhone 4 and have iOS 5.1.1 and the battery seems to be draining pretty quickly for me. I lose 1% battery on standby about every 20 minutes or so, I don't play many games at all, and have hourly fetch email, and don't have very many notifications
I fully charge my iphone 4s last night after update it to ios 7.1.1. I didn't use it till 1 hour after disconect it and when i check the Use setting it have 29 mins. of use and like 55 mins of standby. The problem is I didn't use it for nothing, so what happen with that 29 minutes? the background update is setting of, so the push email notification. What could be the problem? the battery only last like 5 hours and half in this update.
iv been experiencing a problem with my 5s. i had issues when i put my phone to sleep/ standby, the battery drain really fast. i don't know why. i thought it was the battery so i replaced it and nothing happen and i even restored it and still nothing
i realized the battery of my iPhone 5 was really bad...I choose Setting - General - Usage and I saw Usage and Standby always equal. I don't know why I have restored my iPhone but everything isn't change...I always charge full battery ( 100%) before I go to bed but when I wake up , the battery is decrease from 100% to 70%. This problem just appeared few days ago
I really try many ways what I find on the Internet such as turn off background app refersh , remove some applications , no jailbreak.I think software is good and hardware have some problems ( battery or main )
I have proplem with my usage counter (settings>General>Usage ) Time since last full charge. it works for like half a day then the usage and standby times just disapear and then where there should be the usage/standby time there is only symbol. Today it worked only few hours i havent connected my phone to anything that would charge or anything so thats not it ,i have reseted statistics and it dosent help the proplem.So can anyone help me? does anyone else have this proplem? and im using iPhone 4.
So recently I have notice that my iphone 4's battery isn't so great. It is jailbroken but I have jailbroken since the first day the hack was released and only a couple of days ago the battery started to drain really fast.I do have winterboard and activator on my iphone.A couple of days ago my iphone would be around 97% or 96% of over night stand by. This is not right at all. Help is fully appreciated.
For last 2 days now my iPhone hasn't been holding its charge, even in standby mode.
I took screen shots of it earlier and at 5:54am whilst in work the battery was at 82% then it stayed in standby in my pocket until the next screenshot I took and the percentage was falling fast, by 9:28 the percent was at 1.
Does anyone here know if there is anything I can do? I have restored the iPhone and also let the battery charge up to 100% from no charge in it and to no avail!
The phone is only a month and a half old and nothing has changed since the last 2 days so hard to understand why it has started doing this, brightness has always been at 100% so that's not affecting it.
I noticed that after I installed the latest IOS 5.1.1 the battery life seems to deteriorated over the course of 1 week use.
The strangest thing happened yesterday. My phone was on %9 battery life and I decided to keep it as I was out and I put it in my pocket. In less than 10 minutes I pulled it out and it was dead, no responce. It actually chewed %9 percent while being on standby. No extras were turned on, bluetooth was off and wifi was off too.
Last night I went to bed and my phone was %53 percent charged and I left it locked next to my bed. I woke up this morning finding my phone completelly dead?
I will monitor it closelly over the next week but I had it for a year and this had never happened. The only common denominator is installing the new IOS.
In Settings/Usage the battery usage for Useage and standby are the same. This means the phone never goes into standby mode and reduces the battery time. I tried a resore in iTunes.
I have a problem with my iPhone 4s:Â Usage and Standby are almost the same, they only difference is about 3 minutes.The battery last about 6 hours and half even I don't use it!I restore iOS 7.1.1 already three times and nothing changes. There is only 3 apps installed: whatsapp, twitter and instagram . Location services are off, parallax too, email are set on manual. Sometimes I have no audio, system wide and music app...
I have a 32gb 3gs that's under warranty til july 30th 2010. i was wondering if i'm covered under warranty. after a full charge, my phone eats up 50% of the battery while on standby in 5hrs without using it once. i don't have anything running on the phone and since i'm not on a data plan i don't have anything using data updating
