    Check if it's losing juice on standby. Mine was, I let it drain completely then reset all settings.

    Agree. I too let it drain completely. It improved matters.

    Na it's not faulty. It's just like the 4s it doesn't stand up well to 3G video streaming. I only watched 2 episodes of modern family on Netflix and a couple of videos on YouTube coupled with lots of browsing on Facebook and that's all it could cope with.That pic was from its second battery cycle after doing the above.

    No standby is grand but when I want to stream or use tunein the battery percentage goes down like a second hand on a clock :-(

    I'm sure they are. It's grand in standby mode. It's just **** at streaming video over 3G.

    I don't think the battery is any better than my 4, if not worse. As you said once its in my hand and I'm using it the battery percentage flies down. I even went back restored the phone and set it up as new and I still don't see any improvement.
