My iOS 6 wishes

[Dangerous Theory]

Yeah, its time without a signal that drains the battery. I also found that I had a nasty kernel wake lock that was keeping my phone awake for about 4 hours while the screen is off. This meant battery used by Android OS was like 12%. Apparently using a static IP solves the type of wake lock I had, so I've tried that. Hope it works!

Another feature I'd like is Androids multitasking switcher. You get to scroll vertically between previews of apps and simply swipe to close them. Its quicker than using wiggle mode!

Im almost never without signal. Its the actual radio on standby thats using loads of battery.

You're right actually.

8h 43m 27s on battery.
1h 34m 26s screen on.

53% battery remaining.
28% of battery has been used by screen and 25% has been used by cell standby!

Time without a signal is only 7% this time so can't be that. I'll look into it and report back if I find anything that helps.

21 hours cell standby has used a total of 32% of my battery (63% of 51% used). Only 3% w/o signal.

Well that would equate to 63 hours of complete standby. My iPhone 4 would have lasted like a week I'm sure. I wonder....I wonder if the radios in these things are way inefficient, or there's a way of toning down the power draw :/
