Ever since uploading to 3.1.2 (worst mistake ever)...I can get barely ANY time out of my battery. For instance, today I had roughly 35% remaining battery when I sent a SMS to a friend. We steadily texted each other back and forth for about 20 minutes. Texting was the ONLY thing I was doing on the phone. After 20 minutes, I was down to 18% battery left.
This is just unacceptable. This had my my iPhone nearly unusable, as Im constantly searching for a power source to charge it.
Push is off, notifications are off, wifi is off, location services are off, bluetooth is off.
Ive restored to 3.1.2 at least 6 times already.
This is ridiculous. Has anyone else had this nightmare since updating to 3.1.2? How can I fix this?

Same issues here!! It really is sad considering the price we have to pay for this device up front then to maintain service! I have a charger on my desk at work since I cant make it all day in the office (especially if I make a phone call!!), one in the car and of course my laptop and charger at home!! If I am anywhere else, I am short. I feel your pain.

Sigh. Same issue here. Restoring wont fix your problem, if it didnt work first time then it wont help after n-th time either.
Your only solution is to buy one of those backup batteries. They can replace your iPhone case and at the same time act as a backup and double your battery life.
