iPhone 4S battery life, charging issue finally fixed

Ever since Apple introduced the iPhone 4S last October alongside iOS 5, the iPhone and iOS 5 have been met with large groans of disappointment regarding the battery and/or charging of the Dell latitude pp01l battery. The latest version of iOS, however ( iOS 5.1), has appeared to have resolved the problem for many users.

Shortly after iOS 5 and iPhone 4S was made available October of last year, Apple released iOS 5.0.1 which was presumed to solve many bugs users were experiencing which were causing unacceptably short battery life on devices using iOS 5. The update, however, was largely deemed a complete failure and seemed to solve none of the problems and users continued to see Acer Aspire 1410 battery life of roughly 4 to 5 hours regardless of actual usage. Apple claims that the iPhone 4S is capable of 200 hours on standby, and roughly 9 hours of talk time. Actual usage had been far less.

Additionally, many users complained of improper charging on their iPhone 4S. Complaints that the Universal External Battery would charge to 100% and then drop in large steps thereafter flooded Apple’s support forums for months after the launch.

iOS 5 battery charge drops even though it continues to indicate a full charge.

With the introduction of iOS 5 last week, however, these problems seem to have been resolved. We’ve seen dramatic improvement in battery for hp compaq business notebook nx9420 life. In our testing, problems with the battery indicator persisted for a few charges after the update, but improved each time. And now, the problem appears to be resolved. The image below shows our results after a full day of heavy usage (gaming, youtube, several calls, etc…)
