IPhone 4s Battery life help

I read that. Historically I believe that if you keep the phone off battery life will be much better. But I also believe that if a person is bleeding, a tourniquet will stop the bleeding. This works with a bloody nose too.

Just about overtaken by sleep last night when a spam text sent my heart rate up. My 4s is due for delivery tomorrow!

Turn it off? Blasphemy! or at least my boss thinks so (i am on call, 24/7 and have no home phone).

Possible fix in the works.

Thank you Sir!

Lots of people say it did not do anything to the battery drain.... Also it patches things that might prevent it from being jailbroken....

I've had it installed for several hours. Whereas I was losing 2% of my battery per hour with minimal use, it has now lost 1% in about two and a half hours. From my perspective it is a winner.

It also adds gestures to iPad 1 models.

The kids at work jailbreak theirs (4 and 3gs's)and they get all their app's for free.
They have no concept of wrong doing either.

Yeah I there are a lot of useful apps that apple will not allow on their store that I find useful. Plus the ability to turn crap off and on like bt, wifi, 3g, etc, I do not have to go into settings. I can turn things off on the home screen. While a lot of people get apps for free because of JB... there are a lot of people who buy apps that can only run on jb phones......

Now I admit, if I was poor or a college student I probably would be doing the same thing... but since I use to be a software developer I know what it is like to be screwed. Plus I earn a decent income, .99 here 1.99 there is not really anything....... less than a cup of coffee anywhere and last forever (well until development stops and something comes out better :) )

Guess I'll try this, 5.1 hasn't helped.
