Battery life on firmware 3.0 for iphone 3g horrible?

[redspade04]

normally my iphone 3g would last 3days or at least 2days for average use. as of 2days ago, my phone has died 3 times. i had my phone fully charged last night and was died when i woke up.

here is what i got for my settings;
wifi is on-
brightness is mid and display turns off in 1min-
bluetooth is off-
3g is turned on-
push is off-
fetch is set to manual-

is anyone else having this problem? and does anyone know how to fix this? remember i am running 3.0 beta and this is a new phone so the battery is good.

no, there's something wrong, try going to general>usage and check out the time whenever you see something wrong with the battery, you probably have some apps crashing on you, like iPod,youtube or safari..

I was having the same problems.

It went away after I removed all 3rd party apps. Some of them may seem like they are working fine but are not compatible with 3.0.

I am now testing battery .vs apps and settings. Each session is 12 hours overnight so that I get an accurate test instead of when I am using the iPhone during the day doing different things.

I am posting results and reviews here. The results are all in the first entry so you do not need to read the whole thread.

that actually worked for me. i deleted myspace, facebook, and aim, along with a few i never use. before trying this i went from 100% battery to 56% in only 30mins, then i deleted 10mins later where i had 49% and now about 5 or 6hrs later, im at 47%.

i got the actual percent from free memory. free memory seemed to always say low on memory too (3mb+/-) even when id tell it to free memory. i deleted and then checked and it said 45mb, so i restarted and now wants to say 25-30mb all the time.

so i have my battery back to normal and a fast system again

Uhm, hmmm, (scratch's head)...(rub's chin)...I just can't seem to recall every single one of my posts but I am pretty sure that I have never, never, ever stated that I was a developer although I could be wrong

However, I have and continue to be a beta for 5 different developers and testing apps with 3.0 and some that I test for use my PC to validate their desktop software that works with their apps. Also the words "Apple Seed" may mean something to you and if not, i am sorry to say that I can't say more.

Sooooo, not that its any of your business in the first place, but I decided to answer your post so that you didn't wander through life with this terrible cancer that a terrible PC owner could invade your precious tunnel visioned, one track mind, fanboy attitude that a PC user is helping develop and test Apple product and Apps Get over yourself and you will be OK.

i was just kidding around. i could careless.

KK, understand and accept. I was just trying to answer your question and I sometimes get tired of the PC comments when I do not criticize other OS users. I feel we all like what we use and use what we like. Each has its faults and plus's and I have always helped ALL computer users in MR.

I am glad you have your battery life back. I have found one app that is a complete battery drainer and sadly it is the Google Mobile App. Once logged into your account it is running in the background and drained my battery 3 times in one day. Since removal i am using only 15% of my battery in a 10-12 hour period. I can not inform Google of this because they do not have an email for their app and everything just points to their forum. I do not want to post on another forum about being a 3.0 beta because the questions will be non stop. I guess Google will have to figure it out on their own.

Again, I accept your response and still willing to help out if needed.
