Hi Ed
I understand what you're saying, and I'm really okay with losing battery with
use. What bothers me is the loss of battery for nothing. The apple statistics
suggest that if you were just to leave your phone on standby, you would get 300
hours, which means, on average, losing 1% every three hours or so. Even
allowing for slight variations from phone to phone, on standby, mine is going
much, much faster than that, and at the times when this is happening, the usage
figure rises, too. The usage figure is only meant to reflect the amount of time
you're actually working with the phone, so it should be significantly less than
the standby time. That it's not on mine makes me think there's something else
going on in the background.
