Did the CPU speed go up in 1.1.2?

[thesaint]

hmmm this is really strange.

1.0.2
400
100
Speedtest at 170K on Edge

I am averaging 193.7 on Edge in the ATL... Which is much quicker than it was. I would say my average was around 130

Maybe someone can help me with this. I just recently purchased my iPhone and only had it for a week with 1.1.1 and of course I was playing with it all the time. Now that I have gotten used to it, and have settled into my routine there are my observations.

1. The battery icon seems to stay full for a very long time, slowly working its way down. After about "showing" a 50% charge. The last 50% seems to go VERY quickly. I would say in the later of 4 hours. While it takes me all day, from 9-5 to get to 50% when the majority of my use occurs, from 5-1am the battery seems to die quickly while the phone just sits.

2. I got just under 7 hours of usage with 17 hours stand-by. I have three email accounts that check every 15 minutes, I used the internet for about an hour with wifi, I talked for a total of 2 hours, and sent around 150 text messages. The majority of my use is text messaging. No Bluetooth, and wifi is turned off when not in use.

Someone suggested rebooting by holding the power and home buttons. I will try that tomorrow while not changing any other settings. After that, I will switch my email to check manuel, as i assume that is the only other place I can turn to stop usage.

Does this seem normal to everyone. The reason I ask, is that I used to have a nextel that I would talk and texted on all day, but I wouldn't text nearly as much as i do on the iPhone and I got comparable battery life.

I guess I am asking a lot more of the iphone and getting the same results which I am pleased with. Just wanted to know if I am experiencing average, or poor battery life as I am a new user.

That is pretty decent usage right there. If you think about it, You should get about 8 hours of only phone usage, 24 of only iPod, 6/7 hours of only Video, and at the most- 6 hours of data (email and internet)
Standby time is just the time inbetween using it. But if you are using the phone that much, I would say that you are doing what I would consider "normal" battery life.

As far as how quickly the battery goes... there are 2 things to say about that. 1) the indicator is simply a bunch of pictures that are displayed are certain voltages. It is in NO WAY, exact. To be honest, at best, it's a rough guide to know approximately how long you have between charges.
2) the batteries are NOT perfect. anyone that is getting about 24 hours standby with less than 6 hours of usage, I would recommend documenting usage and possibly making an appointment with Apple. It's an indication that the battery is not living up it it's potential.

Thanks I figured that I was probably write on. I play on the phone just to play on it. Read news and send a crap load of text messages. The thing that I hate it just seems the battery icon is SO FAR off. Which I understand what you are saying. I am used to my old phone that would show no battery for about 2 hours while in standby and still stay on. With my iPhone, its to the point where sometimes I don't even get the 20% battery remaining and suddenly the battery needs charging icon comes up and the phone is rendered useless for 5 minutes. I am not complaining, as I am sure as I settle into a normal usage routine, the battery life will be more than adequate, I just like playing with it so much.

I will document my time with my current settings for a week, then changes somethings and see if it improves.

This is the easiest way to load up a CPU on any unix/linux system.
SSH to the iPhone twice. Run top in one so you can watch, run this command in the other:
yes > /dev/null &

running this will spike your CPU to almost 100%
I actually never saw it go above 95% even with 3-4 of these running.
this one only loads the CPU in user space

Be careful! Your iPhone will become unresponsive (slow.) The UI will still work you just have to patient.

to load system space use:
cat /dev/null > /dev/null
this one does not always work on all systems it seems. the iPhone being one of those systems so only the yes trick will do it.

When you are done playing:
killall yes

Enjoy...
