I've had my 3Gs for 19 months, and some months back, the battery began to show real signs of its demise. This didn't come as a surprise however, because I'd left it plugged into AC power all night for more than a year. So I paid a technician to put a brand new battery in the phone, which he said came from the very same supplier that the OEM battery came from. This battery had identical life to the original, so I had him put another new battery in. It too had the very same poor level of battery life.
When in use - talking, texting, surfing, checking email, etc - the phone goes through about one percent a minute, and depending on the situation, will go through 3-7% an hour just sitting, unused, with the screen locked.
After two brand new batteries, the tech mentioned the possibility of other, perhaps damaged or worn out components possibly putting an excessive drain on the battery. Has anyone else had this same issue with the 3Gs, or even had one diagnosed and found an issue outside of the battery itself?
