I had heard about shutting down the app's that were not running did help nice to know that is but a myth. With the 4S I do have to plug it in on the way home from work as I am at around 30%. I too looked into the battery change out when I had my 3 and to me it looked a big long and drawn out for VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35901825.post-57422837607834550792012-11-19T13:31:45.363+10:002012-11-19T13:31:45.363+10:00Thanks Random,
