Is my new phone battery draining to fast when surfing the web???

I had/still have problems with my iPhone 3G and the 3G network. To make a long story short, i was given a new phone and the problems have not been fixed.
However when using safari or GPS or any surfing activity on my old phone i could get anywhere from 4 1/2 to 6 hours battery life when using a heavy amount of safari(i use the phone 75% of the time for that alone) weather and stocks, and a few texts and calls and other features. I could get through the day easily when unplugging it around 8 in the morning and didn't have to plug it back in until night.
The new phone seems to drain much faster with very similar use. The only two things i can think of is a tad more GPS and a lack of a strong signal because i was on vacation on marthas vineyard(not a whole lot of service on half the island, lot of signal searching). I notice the battery drains very funny also.
I can get like a half an hour usage before a blip comes off the battery indicator and sometimes i can get an hour. But those will follow up in the second hour draining to like 25% remaining. I can get between 2-2 1/2 hours before my 20% warning comes up. I was used to like 4 1/2 hours before the warning.
I looked online and saw that my new phone was actually similar to some time tests for surfing the web, my old iphone was alot of things, but it wasn't a battery drainer. So im wondering if my new phone is having a problem or my old phone was a "special" phone.
Just wanna know before i contact apple.

If you are surfing using 3G it will drain the battery faster than on EDGE. If you have WiFi on while you are searching using 3G/EDGE the battery will drain faster so turn it off. Signal hunting will also drain it a bit faster. Since you have a new phone it will take a few battery cycles before you see the true charge life of the battery.

Why does my MB Pro's battery drain so fast when using Numbers?

Hello community!
I have this problem since I updated my MB Pro to Mountain Lion. Everytime I start using Numbers (latest version), the fan of my Laptop goes on and the running time of my battery drops to 1 1/2 hours. My MacBook also gets really warm. Everything seems that Numbers is not running really efficiently on my Laptop. That makes it hard to follow an entire lecture and it's really annoying for me and my classmates; because of this issue I currently use Excel instead.
I have a MacBook Pro late 2012 with the 2.7 GHz i7, 4 GB Ram and OS X 10.8.2.
I don't experience those problems when I'm using pages or keynote.
Does anyone have the same problem? Are there any suggestions?

This issue was first noted here around the beginning of August, 2012. See this thread, but don't take the reply marked "solved" too seriously—it turned out to be premature.
Briefly, the issue is that Numbers consumes about 70% of available CPU time/activity whenever the mouse pointer is on a table. That CPU usage consumes power, creates heat, and activates the fans.
No solution as yet. A summary of suggestions:
File a bug report (Numbers menu > Provide Numbers Feedback)
If you're near an Apple Store, take the MBP to the Genius Bar and demonstrate the issue using your machine (or any 2012 MBP with Numbers installed).
Move the mouse pointer off any table whenever possible.
Check the thread for any I've missed.
Regards,
Barry

Why is this battery draining do fast?

So, I have an iPod 32GB 3rd gen and have just recently updated to ios 5. I'm not a fan of it and to make matters worse , my battery drains super fast.
With the previous OS, my battery would last a couple days to about a week at the most. It would last even longer on standby. Now I am lucky if it will last ten minutes. I have turned off all notifications, dimmed the screen to the lowest setting, and turned off blue tooth. I will leave it in standby for 10 minutes and when I come back, it will already be at 75% from a full charge. The iPod is two years old, and I understand the battery may be failing, but i've never had a problem before iOS 5 with the battery.
Also, since upgrading my safari windows lock up frequently and sometimes kick me out. Any way to fix that?

Sounds like your memory is being used excessively, and also the firmware has had battery issues with some people, and I'm sorry, but unless you find a way to downgrade to 5.0 or 4.3.3, your going to have to wait until 5.1 comes out!

Anyone having same problem? I phone 4 after updating to Vers.5.1.1. battery cannot be 100% full charge, always stop at 99% and battery drains off fast too :(

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast

iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast, how annoying is that, Battery will be drain out within 12 hrs and I just usually watch 30 mins video (not using 3G/wifi) and 10mins on Phone .
I always turn off my Siri, Auto Detect Time Zone, 50% Brightness, NO background Apps are running and Mail is manually updated.
Does anyone facing the same problem?

Go to advanced and set icloud to manual I used to suffer from this because of icloud it was stuck in a loop and always draining the battery, try also resetting your network settings if it didn't work reset all settings and set it as a new phone drain the battery and charge it from 0 to 100% to recalibrate the battery , hope this works for you

My iphone 3gs battery drains very fast

my iphone 3gs battery drains very fast it won't last for whole day
i just uses mail application and facebook for some time
can u tell why the problem is or need to change battery

I'm having the same problem with my 3Gs. In my case it is not the apps int he background or the brightness, or wifi or email push. The folks at the apple stroe tell me that there is some software glitch that shows up every few months.
I can only get rid of it by restoring my phone as a new device. In which case I lose all of my contacts, settings and all data. VERY frustrating. I had recived two new phones (before applecare ran out) and have done the resotre several times. No one can tell me what is in that creates this probelm. I've tried differenet chargers one by one in case they are the probelm. one int he car, one in a kitchen outlet, one at my home computer (sync) and on at my office computer (non-sync).
Problem just showed up again randomly two days ago, no new apps or hardware. battery drains from full to 0 in two hours.
Apple, please fix.

I have to charge phone every day! Also i did restart of fone so just in case that it can help but no luck!
Battery was changed in store is new.
Guys how much time your battery is take to drain out ? with normal use of iPhone.
thank you and please give some feedback!

There are a lot of known battery issues right now with the 4S; Search around here a little bit, and you'll see them.
First step is to plug your phone into iTunes and tell it to upgrade to the latest software. Apple released an update just a couple days ago that helps fix the battery life problem. It hasn't been fixed enough, and it still is problematic, but the update does help, and they are aware of the problem.

Why is the battery draining so fast?

Everything in safari is shut down, all multi-tasking is turned off too. My phone is only 7 months old & has worked fine up until today when I noticed the battery draining so fast.

@ neeraj_96 - Thanks for the input, but that's not the issue. As I was saying in my reply, my phone has had a wonderful battery life up until yesterday. This has nothing to do with turning off fetching or lowering my brightness. I have done no major changes in the settings to my iPhone since yesterday, but now all the sudden I can barely hold a charge. I completely charged it last night to 100%. This morning I woke up and it was at 56%. My wife has an iPhone 4, hers was at 96% and this morning it is at 91%. Something is definitely up with my phone's battery that is not a normal operation.
I have tried to do a complete reboot of the phone (holding the power button and the home key down for 10 seconds) and that has not solved the problem. I would suspect that it's an application running in the background, but I figured, as @williamformlouisville stated, that would have killed any rouge application draining my battery, but it has not helped. This is definitely not normal for this phone's operation.

Battery drains very fast on 4S after upgrading to iOS 6

My phone battery was performing reasonably fine before the iOS 6. Now:
The battery gets drained very fast. It used to last for 24hrs (on average) on the previous OS but now does not work for than 14hrs.
The phone gets switched off when the battery reaches 10%. So basically I am only using 90% of my battery
If Apple is not going to fix this issue then i have no solution except to downgrade it to iOS 5.1.1
Any suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

IPhone 5S Battery Draining Unusually fast

I got an iPhone 5S in November and for the first few months it was working fine. For the past two weeks I have noticed the battery draining unusally quickly. Like the battery drains an avg 1-2% on 5 mins of me just using the phone on Instagram. I regularly close all my apps and live in Pakistan where there is no 3G so the LTE issue should not come into play either. I have read countless articles on how to fix your battery life and have tried everything from turning location services off to brightness to anything that is being suggested, even re installed iOS7 on my phone. I have to know charge my phone three times a day from it usually giving me a full day on standby. Any suggestions please?

Take it back to the Apple store and tell them that didn't fix the issue. You might have a hardware issue. Before you take it back though do a backup on your computer.

WHY doesmountain lion's battery drains so fast ?!

Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

Your device might keep syncing your Emails, Contacts and some other applications.
Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On, connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert. You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved. Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.
