Updated 3G to 3.1 2 days ago, now 2 hour battery life.

[JRoDDz]

I update my wifes 4 month old 3G to 3.1 2 days ago, and this morning it drained the battery in a matter of 30 minutes. I recharged it fully and 2 hours later, dead as a doornail. I took it to the apple store and they gave me a brand new one. I don't know if it's a fluke or if the 3.1 did something? I'm restoring from backup as I type.

Kudos to Apple for excellent customer support

Well, you should restore as new and then sync everything that you should have synced (Contacts, Notes, Calendar, etc.). If you do it right you'll just lose game saves, SMS, and have to reset wifi settings and a few other things that are easy to do. Restoring from a backup might just reproduce the behavior.

Yes, but I don't want to lose all her sms messages and such. I did a backup of the new iPhone as soon as I got home so I can restore that back if necessary.

Battery wise, I hate 3.1

Yeah, I forgot about the SMS. I don't text. Well, good luck.

I have to agree you should restore as new. How important are the SMS anyways? what did people do when you can only have 50 text messages before yon needed to clear them out?

I think I'm not the only one having this issue?

See these threads on the apple site:

If it starts happening on the new 3G with the restore, I'll try to go back to 3.01 with the backup I did when I got home with the replacement. Hopefully it's not deleted

As I said in the thread I started here, it's a widespread issue with 3.1 if you look at the threads both here and on the Apple discussion boards.

Welcome to the club, restoring as new phone or under DFU does not help fix this issue what so ever.
