Battery draining very fast on Iphone 4s?

My Iphone 4s is losing battery % like no tomorrow when I have 3g on and just using imsg. Is this a common problem or just mine?

Very common especially when you download the new software. All I do us try to exit out all the programs

It depends on what iOS version you have. When I had iOS 6 it killed my battery fast so you should keep it up to date I suppose. If this doesn't help see about a replacement because a battery costs more than an actual phone these days… It's rediculous

  • Why is the battery on my iPhone 4S suddenly draining so fast? It used to use a reasonable amount for a smart phone, but starting this week, I can lose 50% of the charge in one day with minimal use.
  • Why is my iPhone 4S battery draining so fast? I have an iPhone 4S that's less the 6 months old and the battery is draining super quick even when it's not being used, for example when it's locked and in my desk draw at work not being used its loosing about 10% in 10 minutes! What should I do?
  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • My iphone battery life is draining very fast? I have the Iphone 4 which I got in January. I got it used from apple. It was working fine but about 3 days ago the battery life began to drain faster. For example yesterday it charged all last night and the next morning by 11:00am it's at 68% I don't have any notifications on beside text messages. My brightness is very low. What could be causing this? Is there anything I can do? Are there secrets to keeping a longer battery life? Best answer is getting 5 stars.
