Does anyone else have an iPhone battery which continues to die quickly after WDW trip

[staley98]

Great tips! We're at WDW now and I was shocked to see how many apps were using location services. Fruit Ninja, really?
Thanks again!

Thanks again for all the suggestions! Location services off, phone laying on desk so I will see how much battery I have by lunch time.

A battery will not last forever, these links may help you in understanding the battery that is in your cell phones, laptops and other various portable electronic devices with rechargable Li-ion batteries.

TL;DR: After about 250-300 charges, your battery will start to lose some life. Other factors come in to play, but if you generally look at a cell phone and you charge it every day, after about a year, you will notice a drop in life.

Thanks again for everyone's advice! What I experienced was not a steady degradation but an immediate drop-off from having to charge a phone at the end of the day after nominal use to a completely dead battery after 4 hours with to use.

So far, turning off location services has helped!

Here's a suggestion for you. Try installing the Battery Doctor app on your phone. I have a two year old Galaxy S3 and it has significantly improved my battery life. Do note that you'll have to live without a great deal of push notifications and tinker with the setup on your screen brightness and screen timeout, but I really seem to be getting some significant improvement on battery life with this app.

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't use a lot of push notifications anyway.
