Did you turn off all location services or just some of them?

Turned off the following: AP Mobile imdb Kelly Blue Book Edmunds NASA Yelp Kept on for the following: Compass fandango goodle earth, mapquest, and maps Red Laser Safari Tag Weather channel & Weather app & some other apps Also under location services --> systems services, I turned off Location based iAds and compass calibratoin, and traffic. Also turned off as many push and notifications - for non-important stuff as well. Well the good thing is that with all the tweaking I've done, I've leared more about the ins and outs of iOS... -Z

Looks like my changes did work -- 12 hours later, and I'm at 92%. Shew.
Now -- anybody know how to add the camera icon to the lock screen?!?  -Z

Double click the home button on the lock screen and voila.... itll magically appear next to the slide bar.

Cool. I turned off location services for almost everything, except maps and Siri. I also turned off notification for everything except email, text, and calendar and reminder.

Got my OtterBox Defender case. This thing certainly is protective. Comes with a clip-in holster, Blackberry like. I haven't worn my phone on my belt in years. Anyone do that any more?

I have a Defender and really don't like it, it's too bulky.

I really like my Otterbox impact better than the defender (wife has one of those). Carry it in my back pocket or in my jacket, no issues with a 4 foot drop.

Wow - what a difference my changes finally made. It's two and a half days since my last charge, and the phone is holding steady at 36%. What a difference...
As far as cases go, I have an Agent 18 Hipstamatic case:   The nice thing about this case is the tripod adapter -- if I'm on facetime or watching something on the iphone, I have a mini-tripod that I put the phone on and don't have to worry about propping the phone up. Very slick case, well designed, and it always gets people talking about it - it is, retro in a 70's cheezy sorta way... -Z-man.

I like that Hipstamatic case. Not sure about the defender case, for this bulk I could have an extended-battery case.

Trying the location reminder, but looks like draining battery faster

I had a defender for my 3GS, but I preferred the commuter, but I got a reflex on the 4s and I really like it.
My mom has one of the case mate barely there cases, not much protection, but it sure is sleek. |

Timely thread - my battery life on the 4S with iOS5 is horrible - I'm going to try turning-off more location and iCloud services. Everything else is set the same as it was on my 4.

I'm liking the voice keyboard. Speaking your texts or even your forum posts is easy.

Ha - I am not going crazy! Apple confirms bug in iOS 5 causing battery drain issues:

With my tweaks, I'm still getting about 2 days of battery life with moderate use. Still, good to know that it's not just me!  -Z

I killed a bunch of dead recurring events and turned notification back on and all was good. Couple of days ago battery went back in the crapper and sure enough I'd run into another batch of events that was causing calendar to get stuck in a sync loop. Turned it off and back to normal.
