iPhone 3GS Battery

Hi Guys

How long does your battery last?  Got a 6 month old 3GS off eBay over the weekend and I could virtually watch the battery percentage count down.  I let it run down completely and switch off while working last night then charged while asleep today.  The guy who sold it said he hardly used it so I'm guessing the discharge/charge cycle hasn't been done, so hopefully that will help.

I'm wondering if it's to do with the multi tasking.  Just checked my installed apps and quite a lot of them have not been updated/tested for iOS4.  I'm tempted to remove these apps from the phone and see how the battery is then.  The other thing I thought about doing was a restore/reinstall as I had to install iOS4 on the phone when I got it and I had no end of problems and a lot of hassle with iTunes and the iPhone so perhaps the install didn't quite work.  Hmmm....

Is your Bluetooth turned on? 

Poverty:
does it last over a day?

Greeners:
With fairly moderate use mine would easily last a full day.

iPhone 4 isn't much better!  :fighting:

You serious?

My 3gs would reach 7pm at 10% with screen brightness at 30%.  My 4 is still at 45% around 7pm at 100% screen brightness.  I can't believe the difference  :happy2:
