Anyone else upgraded to iOS 5? I've found a huge improvement to battery life as a result, even though it pings the GPS constantly

[aaronjb]

I've done both of mine - haven't really noticed any difference though, since I stick them on charge every night (Yes I have two.. )

Mine goes on charge every night too but I don't need to top it up during the day any more (if I'm using it heavily)

my mate has been shouting a bit today tryin to get itunes to sort it out, keeps stopping or something lol but i hear once its on its much better.


of course android doesnt have all this fathing around      (sure its time for a new version for me, sony erric seem to be behind with new versions)

Haven't updated it yet, must get round to doing that, however my youngest son who has an iPhone 4 has said his battery seems better

It doesn't need charging every night, but doing so means it'll never go flat when I need it most I've put every phone I've had for the last .. well, ever, on charge every night (well, every night that I'm at home, anyway)..

ok.ok.. understood

Apparently it's also not good to let LiOn batteries drain down to <20%, although the iPhone/Pad/etc and I presume other current gen phones use LiPolymer, and I'm not sure the same applies.. but I do it anyway 

There was more of a reason when I had the BlackBerry - plugging it in put it into "bedside mode" which turned off the vibrate & ring functions so it was totally silent at night, even if work were emailing/txting/etcing me.. I miss that feature!

yep.. I have heard the same.. lipolymer batteries are harmed if fully discharged..
 
but I dont understand why ?
 
and one more  thing if I charge them while say %30 full they dont keep whole week ..

Nope, sticking with iOS4 until they get the bugs out of 5.  Whilst it does what I need, no point risking it into not doing what I need

But I have Push email, wifi, Bluetooth ad gps all active, all the time. Plus use it for OOF web surfing an awful lot each day

Must admit... I think iOS 5 is a bit resource hungry... Have noticed a couple of things that are a little slower than they used to be

Mind you, I need to book myself a Genius Bar appointment because I think there's an issue with mine somewhere
