Hallo to everybody!

I think it would be a good thing for everyone to do a survey about our iPhone 4 battery life.

In my case: with all enabled (ultrasn0w, lockinfo, mail push, multitasking) my battery life is about 2 days (48h).
In the two nights i go in airplane mode so 32 - 34 h iPhone works and 16 - 14 h it sleeps.

I'm very satisfied. 2 days for a smartphone is not so bad.

And you?
 
You have reason aggie, thank you for your reply!
Thanks to all who help me to make this post more useful.

i do or receive calls for about 2-4 hours.
then everyday i go in Cydia to verify if there are changes or news.
i navigate in safari for about 1-2 hour.
 
I really appreciate if someone help me to make this survey more useful.

Thanks.
 
I posted on the basis of the average day of use. Internet surfing, texting, calling, gaming (angry birds/fruit ninja/tony hawk/doodle jump). It really depends on how much you think your battery life is when you factor in standby. I can have it asleep for the entire night and lose a percent or 2. In the end, I've noticed that I can go 2 days worth without having it charged. I have it fully charged at 8AM and don't decide to charge it until late the next day (I want it charged the night before because I have class all day the next day). I have to say I am very pleased with the battery life of the iPhone 4. I played spider man and mirror's edge all day, beating all both the games which totaled about 6 hours of gaming and my phone had about 4% battery life. So as a portable game player, 6 hours of intense gaming is enough for me. Most of the other smart phones can't come close to that so I am very happy.
 
My battery last me 4-4.5 hours of non stop playing games. Not sure if that is good but whatever. But if I use it normally, it'd last about 2 days.
 
I have to charge my phone every night or I won't make it through the next day but I do get a full day's use out of it.

That being said, I'm also a power user of sorts-- well, I guess dork is a better word. I use it constantly to look up things, check twitter, receive and respond to emails and texts on the fly (thousands per month), watch democracy now, play games. I do web work and when I have meetings with people I'll often tether through the whole meeting.

All in all I'd have to say I spend at least 4.5 hours a day glued to my iPhone. The fact that it can get me through all of that without a charge is pretty awesome.

I wonder if power consumption will become so efficient in mobile devices that in a few years we'll get the kind of battery time that we used to on dumbphones. That would be pretty awesome.
 
i have MOG running from 9am (start work) till 7pm (end work) and break for 2 hours lunch time...

in between there will be mails, macrumors forum, sms, meebo, with about 2 hours total of facetime and skype/yahoo video calls, ..,..

and the phone would still be ~20% by work end, and last for another hour for the gym with MOG...

so basically, not too shabby i think...
