Hi Sabrina
I don't think so, there are pages on it on one of the forums, but the
company have said that there is a problem and they will be fixing it with a
patch update to the OS.
Have a look at the following link.
http://news.sky.com/home/technology/article/16103087
There is another link in this article, go into this and you will see more
than 400 pages about this problem. Have a look at the first few pages, but
there are no answers yet. The further into this you look, you will see that
people are trying everything but there is no definitive answers.
Sorry for the bad news, but the update should not be much longer.
If your phone is less than 14 days old, talk to your provider to see what
they suggest doing.
Noel

Hi Sabrina
Can I check which iPhone you are using, if you are using the 4S there are
some known battery issues, with this phone which are expected to be fixed in
an upgrade to the operating system.
Some people are only getting 20 hours out of the phone with each charge.

Hi Mairead,
The only apps on my phone so far are tune in radio and twitter so maybe they
are not actually constantly running in the background I am seeing them when
in app switcher mode alright but when I go in to these apps there are no
options to stop them running or anything like that. The only "stop button" I
can locate is if I am actually streaming a station and I want to stop
listening to it.
So perhaps, it was "the overuse" of the phone that was causing my battery to
drain over the past few days or so.

Hi Sabrina,
I have figured out from Joan Anns instructions how to stop apps from running
in the background and delete them. It just takes a bit of practicing but it
is difficult to make these instructions any clearer.
It is trial and error and a few times I ended up moving apps instead of
deleting them.
Since the other night I uninstalled Viber and once I gave my phone a full
charge using the plug charger and made the following changes my battery life
went back to normal again.
The minute I unplugged it I turned off the Wifi by going in to settings,
scrooled down to Wifi and double tapped on it.
Then I navigated to Wifi on and double tapped on it.
Then I navigated up the screen and selected Wifi off. .
Then I went back to settings, scrooled to 3G and turned it on.
Then I went back to settings and turned on Wifi and then went back to
settings and turned off 3G.
In summary the steps I follow are:
Turn off Wifi, turn on 3G, turn on Wifi and turn off 3G. If they aren't
followed in this order it doesn't work for me.
Usually when I charge the phone from the computer I have to do these steps,
otherwise the useage under settings and general ends up being the same as
the stand by time even if you weren't using the phone all this time. I
usually get around 3 days out of my battery. I am using the iPhone 3GS so
these instructions mightn't work for the newer versions of the iPhone or
some of the options might be in different places. Also when I install most
apps I don't allow notifications as I find it drains the battery as well but
you can't use Viber with the notifications being on which is really annoying
as it is a brilliant app.
Other tips that will help save battery:
When you buy an iPhone first usually 3G and bluetooth are turned on by
default. I always turn these off and only turn them on when I am using
them, otherwise if you go in to settings, general, useage and stand by the
useage and stand by will be the same which shouldn't be the case.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Mairead
