Is your iPhone 4S draining the battery quickly?

I heard about the issue before purchasing the new iPhone, which I received 8 Nov.

My iPhone is fine; unless I have reminders set. The battery will then drop faster, too fast.
I opened Settings, clicked Location Services, and turned off Reminders; things returned to normal.

Is this the issue? Too early to tell. Just a theory.


[Apple has apparently discovered the culprit, and is preparing has a fix….]

Hmmm, chat’s offline?, yeah right...





































Big claims, Right?




WRONG.


fastra1n / fastunlockiphone.com is fraudulent.
You will *not* jailbreak or unlock your iPhone. You will lose $24.99.
Karma doesn’t register with these people. Screw ‘em protect yourself.
































The only way to ‘contact’ anyone: eMail. (fake captcha and all).



It’s best to treat any potential purchases from a business as if you’ve been scammed; attempt to contact the company; no / unanswered / invalid phone number?



Search the business online, in the case of new products, wait for a credible source before committing.


At least order by credit, you can usually be reimbursed by the card companies in the event of a scam such as this.
