How fast is the battery draining?

**arcadian9** · 09-12-2009, 12:51 AM

i would have to say from 100% to 90% in 10 mins give or take

**angiepangie** · 09-12-2009, 12:54 AM

**arcadian9** · 09-12-2009, 01:24 AM

Did you restore from backup? Restore (to 3.0 or 3.0.1) and set up as new.

i restored the phone through the apple firmware that i downloaded b4 and i believe it was 3.0.1

**angiepangie** · 09-12-2009, 01:33 AM

Yes. But after the restore iTunes gives you two options.
To restore from Backup of ____'s phone or to set up as new.
Which did you choose?

**arcadian9** · 09-12-2009, 01:47 AM

oh i restored the backup things from my old 2G iphone

**angiepangie** · 09-12-2009, 01:50 AM

Yeah.. that's probably the reason.
Restoring from backups on big firmware releases/jumps almost always cause battery drainage and many other problems.
Restoring and setting up as new should fix the problem if you're willing to lose the data.

oh isee then
i'll give it a shot and post on how things went

**angiepangie** · 09-12-2009, 01:55 AM

Okay. Make sure you shift+click restore & select 3.0/3.0.1 instead of actually restoring since that'll put you in 3.1 which you don't want to be.

**arcadian9** · 09-12-2009, 02:08 AM

will do
thanks!
