still can't wait till my 4S arrives, but i hope the battery life gets better after a few charge cycles (thats what happened with my 3G after like a month)

My 4s lasts about 2 days. My 3gs lasted about 6 hours. Ive only done 1 full charge cycle on the phone since i got it (on friday) and its still at 14%. i love it.

My girlfriend got the 4S and the battery sucks...

Siri must be using the vibrator and killing the battery.

It glitches all the time, for instance I lost the send and attachment buttons on my text message for awhile, leaving me unable to send message. The touch screen isn't as accurate. This is a pet peeve, but the power button being on the side is very annoying, I constantly bump it while using my phone and then get locked out. Pulling up programs, and updating them is much less intuitive, as well as uploading music. The predictive text is [I find it hard to believe] stupider than the predictive text on iphone, although it's cool that it gives you a list of what words you might want. Email doesn't seem to be consistent, I find emails in my inbox that my phone didn't tell me I had. Oh yah and battery life is non existent.

All that being said, the 4g is REALLY nice. I'm probably also biased since I've only used iPhone. I'll probably still go in tomorrow to see if I can switch.

Battery update!

Let the battery drain completely to 0% and recharge fully without using it during charging and you should notice huge improvements after doing that a few times! i did!

xtac · 10-24-2011, 11:55 AM

I need a case. Bad. I might go with an otterbox don't want to take any chances, maybe not the defender but the commuter

I'll update as well. Do this 2 or 3 times and your battery will last a lot longer. I'm not haven't an issues with the battery anymore.

The only issue I'm having is when the phone is connected to my home wifi the internet doesn't work. I heard it is a router problem. Not sure though.

The following message may appear on your iPhone:

"Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be received until you delete some messages."

Products Affected

iPhone

iOS messaging database is limited to 15 MB of storage, which is about 75,000 messages. If you have updated and your iPhone displays the following message:

iOS 5 full message inbox alert

Follow these steps to delete some messages:

Delete message conversation threads by swiping left or right over a conversation and tapping Delete.
Restart your iPhone.

I do about 500 text messages per day, hence why I need to delete mine

and this stupid iMessage crap is annoying, it's so damn slow... if I'm on Wifi, it's perfect, but otherwise it's a POS.

I have used Imessage with my friend in China and had no problems with it.

They are built to protect, not look nice. Most of those cases can sustain a 6 foot drop without damage, water proof, and dust proof. Phone having glass front and back, drop proof is a necessity for me, especially with my drunken endeavors.
