This iPhone 4s battery draining life out of ME Help

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!

I really dont know why I even have iCloud. I dont own any other Apple devices. It is my understanding that I can use the iTunes to exchange info from there to phone and viceversa?  But... if I were to use iCloud and I have everything turned off that needs to be turned off on my iPhone, and then I back up my iPhone to my iCloud, and start my new phone with the iCloud back up option, wouldnt it just apply the setings as they were when I did the back up? Im sorry, Im new to all this. It is a bit confusing?!?

I would use both my computer and the iCloud.  iCloud is new and growing, but I also like having control over my own stuff.  The great thing about iCloud is having everything accessible from any wifi.  Say you are at an Occupy Wallstreet Rally and you shoot some awesome video.  You can upload it to iCloud before the Police take your phone away...  You can set your phone to wipe itself clean, but then when you get it back, just go to a local wifi cafe and restore your iPhone and then post your video to YouTube.  Or if you are traveling and your iPhone gets damaged or stolen, you can get a replacement and restore it while you are still away from home.  With all these conveniences, its nice that iCloud is free.

I guess this all can be confusing.  Technology keeps changing and it is a chore to keep up.  I read Macsurfer.com almost everyday just for what interests me.  Good Luck!
