hey, this is my first post, hopefully not last=)
so heres the issue, i believe i've been having a problem with my iPhone 3gs' battery, about 3 weeks ago it felt very hot while i was publishing to youtube, and i also had it plugged in to the wall adapter and it said it was charging, but the battery percentage was going down, i made an appointment at the genius bar and was told since i was publishing over the EDGE network that it was just simpley taking alot more juice from the battery, i havn't had a problem like that since... now onto the current dilemma...
it seems as of late my battery has been running low too quickly... for example...
last night i went to bed with 95% left on my battery, 10 hours later (at 1:00pm) it was at 88% percent, so then i over the next few hours i sent and receiving about 4 texts total, other than that i was listening to the iPod quite consistently, within the first hour i noticed it had dropped a good 20%... by 5:10pm i had 15% left, standyby read: 16hours 32min. usage read 4hours 32min...
i forget exacly what time i had taken it off the charger, but it is presently 2am and right now i have 79% left and standby is at 6h 51m and usage at 1h 35min... and for this cycle i barely used the phone, i took one phonecall that lasted no longer than 2minutes, listened to my ipod for about 5min and used safari for about 10min.
i'd like to also add that i did a restore to my phone through itunes just the other day to try and see if that would improve anything, at first i thought the phone seemed to last a bit longer when i had it on sleep mode, but while using it, it just seems to drain... and these aren't problems i noticed when i first got the phone, which was close to a month ago...
any response is appreciated, and i do apologize for the long spiel..=)
thanks
