Hi William, I'm with a US carrier and my status shows 4G. I don't know about the power demands of your carrier, but to give you a basis for comparison, my 4S was replaced by Apple in early May, so it may have been reconditioned and I've been pounding on the battery for nearly four months. Bluetooth is turned off, wi-fi is on and ping is disabled in restrictions.
I now have 47% battery power, and my standbye time is 14 hours 16 minutes, and usage is 4 hours 15 minutes. To be sure, it depends what I do, because I've often been at 1% and observed that my usage was under seven hours. Still, if you're working with a new phone, your observations don't sound like what I would expect (at least using AT&T in the US).
