4 Hour Batter Usage 10% Left..Bad Battery?

[Fred87nc]

Ok I don't get it my Battery Sucks, Ok I keep my Brightness at around 10-15 Percent. I was on Wifi alot today, maybe 3 of those hours was on wifi surfing the net listening to some music, but damn Why 4 hours? I mean I expect atleast 6 hours of heavy usage. What do you guys think? I see alot of People posting 8+ hours and saying they are using it alot, What do you all think about my battery?

Btw have 10 hours of standby

That seems much worse than normal. I'm getting three days now with moderate use and at least two days with heavy use.

man don't tell me that....argh...actually the last couple of days I been checking and after like 6 hours of usage and 24 hours of standby my phone will die...and it was moderate use...wtf...are you talking about usage time or standby time? also without having it plugged in?

I'm gonna call apple tommorow, I really want my iPhone repaired rather then replaced.

I'm at 4 hours usage mostly wifi web browsing and my iPhone is about to die. I called apple support about an hour ago and they are overnighting me a loaner iPhone for use while I send mine back to them for repair. I was pretty impressed. We'll see how it turns out.
