...

this might work on Iphone 4S,,,

I think it will. I will be doing this for the next few days to see how the battery life improves.

Thanks!

Did upgrade to my 4S (5.0.1) , initially it had close to the same battery life to 5.0 ( unsatisfactory). But read an article from a guy that may have found a temporary solution to solving the battery issue , I have done this process and I see a change in my battery life. Ako gi suwayan ning process.

Follow my steps below and in the exact order as specified... good luck!

1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)

2 a. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)

2 b. If you do not get the complete new setup screen with language setup and setup as new phone or restore from iTune/iCloud backup, be sure to go back to #1 and reset all settings again (it should happen the second time)

3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd (settings -> location services -> system services)

4. Fully discharge battery (until you get the spinning wheel and it shuts off)

5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)

In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!
