IME the biggest thing that affects battery life on an iphone is the signal, and unfortunately that is different everyday, even if you do the same journey to work.
With my 4S I could get in the car to drive to work, get out an hour later and some days my phone would still be at 100%, other days it would be down to 90%. In each case the phone hadn't even been woken up from sleep, just grabbed off charge and put in my pocket.

Took my phone off charge yesterday morning at 8am.
Brightness set at a 3rd and emails set to fetch every hour.
Currently got 25% battery left with 4 hours, 51 minutes usage and 1 day and 2 hours standby.
thinks that's pretty good to be honest.

Took my phone off charge at 8am and as of 10:20am I'm on 78%.
I'm having to carry my cable around in my pocket.

I received my iPhone 5 Wednesday afternoon. Activated the sim, got it all up and running only to find the f'n lead was faulty so unable to charge. Couldn't be bothered to re pack it and send back to my provider so toured the town looking for a replacement lead. Ended up doing a 3 hour round trip to my nearest Apple store and bought two leads. Apologies if this question has been asked before, but can you get a Lightning lead car charger yet? If not, what the hell are Apple doing releasing a phone with a new port without the components readily available to assist the day to day operation of the bloody thing???? It's like selling a car without any suitable tyres available.....oh s t, I had that with my Cayman once!!!!

You've got too make sure it's the correct length (30 seconds or something) and make sure ringtones are selected in iTunes, that's about as much as I can remember...... Yep its 30 seconds but my iTunes doesn't have a ringtones tab, its the latest version, I don't understand it!

OK complete girl question..... Until we get 4g, is the 5 supposed to work on 3g? If yes, how the flip do you turn it on and get it to work? I am on Orange. I turned the EE 3G setting on but it makes no difference. Thanks

After they did what they needed to do, I rebooted the phone and I was up and running at 12mb/s.

Has anyone been having problems with the signal? Tbh I'm not sure if it due to the change to EE or the phone as before with the iphone 4 and Orange I was having perfect reception in my house, now my calls keep on dropping or I can't even get any to make calls.
