Once everything levels up with the new phone, I find a full day of average use is realistic, with all features turned on.
I personally cant see any reason for not having your phone on charge overnight and personally have a bedside alarm with built in phone dock, so any more than a day of battery life is pretty much a mute point to me.

My reason for not charging overnight is only having a single socket in the bedroom. Thats already taken up by a 6 way adapter for the AV gear
And I need it beside me incase the burglar alarms go off at work.
I really should knock it out and stick in a double socket, but can't be arsed (although a house up the road just burnt down last week from a fire caused by an extension lead in the bedroom )

You can also save battery life by properly shutting down apps when finished.
Double tap home button, a dock bar will show with all apps running, hold finger on one till it wobbles and you get a 'no entry' type icon appear on it. Tap that no entry sign and it closes the App, you don't lose any data. Shut all the apps you aren't using.
If you don't do this all Apps opened are still opened, but in effect minimised, doing the above actually closes the App. - when running they use power. girl at work had 47 apps running in the background cos she didn't know this.
Slide that dock bar over and you can lock the orientation of the screen too! -tap the grey circular arrow found on far left!

iOS does a fantastic job of memory management. I have never closed an app in the manner you describe

Very wrong. Only certain apps run in the background and then only certain components of those apps run mostly for a short period of time. There are Activity Monitor apps available which clearly show this. No doubt none of those 47 apps were actually running, clicking them simply resumes them from their last running state.

There's no additional cost in power consumption, once a program is loaded into memory in a first instance, whether it stays loaded afterwards for 5 seconds or 5 days. Now, if you'd made a comment about iOS's CPU management, on the other hand ...

The fact that mind-reading does indeed count among my many and varied talents notwithstanding, why don't you humour me and the other avid readers of this thread, and spell out what it was you meant?

So, the Iphone was collected yesterday and charged. Just waiting for her to come home to see how much electric is left in it
Is the an easy way to use MP3's as ringtones? Had a quick google and it bangs on about M4a and M4r but was hoping for something more straight forward

Wait till he comes with his infraction gun. Could go misfiring, knowing him.
LOL Ali is a top man in nutz-n-bolting. All he needs is a double socket, that's all. He'll do it!

To save life, double tap on circle button and delete all the apps that are running in the background reguarly.
That should get some extra life
But yeah about 2-3 days depending on gps use and location services and apps.

If you had ICS. You could know exactly what data had been used, and on which application. How much was used on data plan and how much was used on wifi. The wonders of Android
