I definitely think that locking the screen helps. I have my phone set not to lock automatically, preferring to be in control of when it locks. However, if I go away, come back in an hour or so, and discover that I forgot to lock it, the battery definitely is lower than it would have been if I had locked it. This is true, even having the brightness at zero.

the techy at the Apple store said battery life was longer if you locked the screen.

Hi,

I had a similar problem and couldn't solve it.  I called my provider and
they changed the channel I was using on the router claiming that probably I
was getting some interference from a recent installion close to me.  Never
had a problem since.

Hi May,

Mine has been draining more quickly lately because it isn't staying
connected to my wireless. I don't know if the signal is not as strong from my router, or what is new. I am hoping that with the new software, whatever
problem is causing this will be fixed.  I think that maybe constantly
connecting and disconnecting is draining the battery.

You might try just checking off and on to see if your WIFI is connected. If
you see 3G or LTE, you'll know you're not connected to WIFI.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a solution.

Take care,
Lois

Subject: battery drainage found problem

Good day everyone.

First off thanks to everyone that sent in suggestions about how to fix my
battery drainage issue. Well I found the problem but now I'm stumped again
and could use some suggestions on how this possibly could be fixed.

Here is what I discovered today since I have been keeping an eye on what's up with my phone and the battery. After a nice dead phone and then a
full charge I unplugged the phone today and headed out at 7:20 yesterday
morning and by 9:30, 2 hours later it was still sitting at 99%. Lets say
maybe around noon I dropped to 95%. That's totally awesome and what I'm use
to my phone being like. Ok, so, get back home and we our connected back to
our wifi and here's where we discovered the problem. When I am connected to
wifi it's killing my battery. It's dropping maybe 5 to 10% every few
minutes.

So we double checked to see if in actually was the wifi so I now have wifi
off and when I did the battery was sitting at 78% that was maybe around
midnight. It is now 4 in the morning and my battery is sitting at 76%. So
I'm pretty sure now that it is wifi that is killing my battery all of a
sudden.

Does anyone have any ideas on how or why this might be?

keep in mind that this is probably the same issue on the phone I had until
recent. Two different phones, two different carriers.at a lost now.
