3.1.2 OS - Battery Results?

[krypto]

I have never had a issue with my iPhone 3GS. And after the upgrade to OS 3.1.2 the battery life seems to have slightly improved

Honestly I haven't noticed a difference. My battery life varies from day to day depending upon what all I'm doing. Upgrades haven't made much of a difference either way.

My battery life was better after 3.1 but i kept getting the iphone coma where i couldnt wake it up. Now i dont get that but my battery life is worse.

Cheers!

This post is pointless. The topic has merit as even Apple has admitted that 3.1 has caused battery issues.

Yup, so true.

A friend on mine carries on about how great the battery life on his Nokia is. Sends about 20 SMS a day, and a few phone calls. Otherwise it sits in his pocket all day.

i'd rather charge my phone 1-2x more per day just to have something better.

Battery life is the same for me, both before and after all the 3.1.x updates. I consistently get about 4 hours of total usage before needing to recharge (below 20% battery life, if not lower). That includes a mix of iPod usage, apps, games, 3G browsing, and phone calls. This is my only real complaint about the iPhone -- I wish it would last a little longer.

I've noticed a slight difference but not enough to have concern.

Wow, mine is much improved since 3.1.2. I did some fairly heavy usage yesterday and was still at 46% last night around midnight. Would have been dead mid afternoon before update.
