Apple Still 'Investigating' iOS 5.0.1 Battery Issue
funny how......
when andriod had problems there was a slew of trash talk but now that the almighty iphone is having problems dont hear anything from the sheep
...
Wasn't really have an issue with battery life on my iPhone 4 with iOS5, but I am noticing less drain on 5.0.1 though. About 30-35 minutes of use was 1% of battery usage.
...
It's a double standard apple is perfect and android is flawed. So until the public realize that apple isn't perfect also then android will always be under a magnifying glass. Just because the hardware is top notch you also have to have good software. Apple's software is good which is why there battery life is excellent but since they are always improving then there software is top notch. Plus humans write apple software code so it will be flawed just like humans are.

Gezz It just came out give them a break I mean hell my android had many more problems than anything I have every owned by apple. I was a user that was having no problems with my Iphone 4s or my wife's Iphone 4 they are both running ios 5! Also the dang software update just came out so how can anyone know if it was a fix for battery life yet or not? Fanboy or not everyone compains about everything that has problems. The word fanboy it self is a joke just go ahead and call it like it really is trolls. If I have a problem with my apple product I will complain! Also if my Droid messes up I will complain I mean come on why spend 300-400 for anything and not complain when there are problems. I know there are really trolls out there that just want ...

Uh not buying it. They put out several betas to developers to test it out before it was released to the masses.
...
They beta-tested the update, and if your battery was going from 100% to 60% in an hour before and is doing the same thing now, it's obvious that the update didn't fix it.
...
Most iphone fanatics dont usually complain about their iphone. Even when theres a problem they just kinda shrug it off as "oh well, at least I still have an iphone". The second someone on an android phone is having one problem, all his friends are saying, "you should've got an iphone, bro". It is a double standard.

My HTC Inspire can barely last 6 hours = normal.
My iPhone 4s can barely last 12 hours = problem, Apple issues a software fix within two weeks.
My HTC Inspire often dropped signal, even with a minimal grip = normal
My iPhone 4 could drop signal if I cupped the bottom of the phone = problem. Apple gives me a free case of my choice.
So yes, the iPhone does have problems. The difference is:
A) Apple acknowledges and takes steps to remedy/fix them
B) They are able to fix bugs in a reasonable timeframe (aka two weeks as opposed to the 5 months for the HTC Thunderbolt or the not-at-all for the HTC Inspire)
C) Even when the iPhone is at its worst, it's usually better than Android at its best.

Bigger difference: your HTC phone is one out of dozens of different Android models. You want an iPhone? Hope you like their design, because there's nothing else. Also, anecdotal evidence isn't enough to support what you're saying.
...
Cool, so I suppose if I purchase all of the dozens of different Android phones and carry them all around I'll be set.
Regarding everything else, that's not anecdotal evidence. Apple actually released this software update. The case program also extends beyond anecdotal evidence.
Regarding the HTC, seems rather consistent across the board:
https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?p ... » , which features near-unanimous panning of the battery life (dead by noon in some instances.) In other words, there's a clear pattern from firsthand users. My experience with my HTC Inspire was firsthand. If that's not enough, keep your head in the sand.

No, I'm sure your HTC phone was crap. I wasn't calling that an anecdote. I'll assume it sucks, because some phones are poorly designed. I was saying it's anecdotal evidence for a claim that all Androids have crappy battery life. I have an awesome entry level, dirt cheap Android that'll do just about everything I want for $200 full retail. Does iPhone make one of those? And that's okay, it's just their choice to give you only their proprietary vision and software. That's why I avoid them.

Correction: "Does Apple make"
Shuddering at the thought of sounding like an oblivious, trendy consumer. 😁

And you can get any of the android phones and you will have battery issues it is an android problem I have owned the Motorola droid Bionic the samsung charge the htc thunderbolt and lg revolution they all had similar isses heck my htc took 4 hours to charge and would not hold a charge for more than 4-5 hours swapped the phone out same problems got an extra battery same problem so verizon get's tired of replacing the phone and they give me a different android this kept happening an now they gave me an Iphone for all the trouble that i gone through and now I have had and no more problems Sure Apple only makes one model phone it's working for them why fix it if it's not broken. Of course Apple is not perfect but then again who is.

How come Android tablets don't have a battery problem?
The reason why battery life is crap on so many smartphones these days is because of the endless 'specs war', they are simply cramming too much onto these phones, the hardware can't handle it.
The problem is not the software, the problem is the specs war. It's time to stop pushing more and more features onto smartphones and start focusing on quality and performance.

I am sure the battery on a tablet device is much bigger and there is a huge difference between a phone a tablet of any type ! I mean think about the size of a tablet in most cases the screen is around 10 inchs there is so much more room they have to work with. Consumers want the phones to be thinner and thinner but the reality is that when you keep making something smaller some quality is compromised (atleast in the real world by logic alone)
...
Exactly, and as they add more and more to the phone, they also get thinner and smaller. Something has got to give. Enough with the specs war.
...
Why not just make better hardware it can be done and use more powerful and thinner batteries (they have them) all these companies are decades ahead of the products that we currently own. I really think these companies are holding us back and want us to pay more for less quality as they are the cause remember problems that they leave on the phone will be fixed by the next model with a few more added isses by design. In otherwords if the phones were made correctly we would never need to upgrade in otherwords pure Greed
...
Very well put sir! I had an Android back in the day and my iPhone smokes the Droids by a long shot. The truth hurts those who hate the iPhone. But I'm a person who likes the iPhone for its quality, not the trend. If everyone else went to Android or Windows I'd still stay with iPhone for the simple reason it works better.
...
We live in a world that is full of jerks they say and do whatever they can to say there stuff is better than your's and if you don't agree with them they have a fit that you don't agree with them so they give you crap!! I don't care who makes the product as long as the quality is there and in some cases you better get the best quality you can because you are paying so much $$ these days and it would be dumb to waste that money on something that can't make it through a day of moderate use.(I am sure somehow trolls will find a reason to moan and gripe as they always do no matter what you say!) The big differnce is people like us are actually paying for our phones and not mommy and daddy or the big brother governemt so that for starters put's a...

I use my phone more than I have any androids I have owned in the last months and I charge it everyother day! I have to say I have been happy with the 4s !
