UPDATE: Your method seems to have worked:) I am at 88% with moderate use and its been off the charger since abut 7:30 am.

I did notice some crazy battery % behavior yesterday though. Twice it went down to 20% only to recalibrate back to about 50% each time. I had it down to 13% before I plugged it back in before I went to bed.

Anyway, thanks for posting about this issue!

Set up as a new phone per your instructions. Took a bit of time since I have CalDev Calendars set up...

BTW, mine is a 3GS if that makes a difference. Push is off. 3G is ON dammit:)

Hope this is addressed in the next update.

did you set up the phone as a new phone, or restore from a previous backup?

mine has been doing pretty well with 3G off. i had the hiccup with the charging issue the other night (see the most recent post), but that hasn't happened again...yet.

did the wipe and re-sync'd apps and data. I'll let you know what happens but I am already at 59% and it's only been on for 2 hours...not looking good.

hmm, that's odd. last time I went in the verified my restores and gave me a new phone. I've also heard from colleagues that issues have been met by replacing 3G with 3GS. we'll see what happens.

re: battery issues -- 100% agreed.

re: physical keyboard -- as i've stated many times over, this is not an issue for me. whether my next phone is from apple or another company, physical keyboards are not a selling point for me. but i can understand why someone would feel this way.

re: push mail -- for the sake of clarity, the issue doesn't crop up with push mail, only push notifications (apple's "solution" for background apps). there is a difference in battery life between push mail on/off, but for that i differ to re: #1.

re: compass -- i made fun of this as well, but looking at the augmented reality work being done, i retract that. i doubt apple had the foresight to predict the layering of social data on real images/video when they dreamed up the compass, but the teams putting those apps together get a huge nod from me. impressive stuff, and any future phone of mine will definitely have a GPS/compass combo to take advantage of that stuff. i would argue that AR trumps physical keyboard...for me. again, just a preference thing.

lastly, i'm working on a follow up to this post. it seems my charging bug has returned, so i'll be seeing a genius bar in the near future.

a complete wipe totally makes a difference. the trick is, don't restore from a backup. re-sync your apps, just don't restore from a backup and see if that helps.

I am seeing the same battery life issues. I was thinking I'd try to delete all the apps until I can figure out which one is causing the problem. I did a restore but have not sync'd all my data back yet and the battery seems to be lasting longer. I know if I sync, I'll have to try the delete apps game. Annoying.
