Thank you for replying to my Whiny post. LOL Here is a list of everything I did!

This was a new phone start up. I didnt back up from iCloud.

I tried turning various things on and off to solve it with no luck.

Finally, last resort. I did these 5 things last night before bed.

1. Deleted my email account.

2. Went to settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings.

3. Completely switched phone off and restarted.

4. Drained the phone completely and then fully recharged it. When I got up this morning, it was the first time battery charged to 100%

But still have major issue: Battery has drained 13% with 1 hour usage/1 hour standby

I have Siri running

Re set-up my email account

Switch on location services and have only 3 items I want, switched on (Siri, maps, and weather)

Switched off Location-Based iAds, Setting Time Zone,

Push notifications set for (messages, phone, and reminders) everything else is off

Brightness screen is halfway

Raise to speak is off

Network cellular data off

restrictions off

bluetooth off

passcode lock off

Date and Time is off

Accessability off

Fetch new data is on, but set to manually

Photostream on

Store cellular data off

Called Apple this morning. The tech was very curtious and sympathetic. They are sending me a new phone. I am not very optimistic, but I will try and hope for the best! I really, really love this iPhone 4s, but I really, really hate this freaking battery issue!

What are your thoughts when I get the new phone. Should I do a clean phone start up, or should I use the back up from iCloud option? Thanks for your reply!

My battery was draining significantly overnight when not in use. I have since turned off location services for Safari and Weather and it seems to have improved dramatically. Hope that helps others. I have a 4S and iOS 5.0.1.

Serendipity, I suggest you call Apple again, maybe talk to the same person and ask for help to delete the old iPhone 4s profile from your computer before you connect the new one. I use my computer to backup, but I don't know what an Apple tech will tell you. The default seems to start with all the services turned on, which is the most energy consuming setup, so I would ask how to turn everything off, then you can turn on features as you use them. For example-- I read somewhere that "Data Roaming" (In General/Network) will constantly check to see what time zone you are in, so turn that off unless you need it.

Today my iPhone 4s is behaving much like my old iPhone 4 did with the battery consumption.

Good Luck!
