Help!!
All of a sudden, this past weekend, my phone (iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1) has gone from over 24 hours standby life to less than 6 hours. In fact my standby time was so impressive that I could leave the phone off a charger for nearly two days even with normal usage (for me, a phone call or two a day, receipt of push notifications and email, a txt here and there, nothing really heavy).
I did go away for the weekend and while I was away I took advantage of an iHome clock radio to charge my phone. I also connected to a new wifi network set up at my parent's home.
At one point during the weekend I tried to get weather information and needed to turn on the location service for one of the weather apps I use. But I've turned off all location services and that has not improved standby time at all. I even went so far as to delete a couple of apps that I had recently installed. Again, no improvement.
Finally, this morning, I connected my phone and backed up and synced with iTunes and found that VZW had a settings update for me. I thought, OK, maybe that would improve things. Nope, no improvement.
So I'm asking the question, was there a change made? How do I further troubleshoot this issue? Or, is this now the new normal? Seems to me 6 hours of standby is really too short a time for any mobile device. Further, I've done a quick search of this forum and found a couple of links that harken back to the early 4S days where battery life was an issue which was resolved. I just wanted to see if anyone else was suffering.
Any thoughts?
