FFS Roy, how old are you?! My first mobile (18 years ago) would last for years* on a single charge.
I took mine off charge this morning at around 6, 1 hour 45 mins later and it's on 67% and back on charge. But I hammer it constantly using intensive functions, so it's bound to be w**k.
*slight exaggeration.
I'm a sod to my phone. Although it regularly gets run completely flat....usually from plain laziness... It also gets the odd 20% top-up every so often.
I heard that you may as well just remove the battery altogether if you do that too often, but then I also heard iPhone was ermehgerd amazeballs better than android.
It's neater, that's for sure, so this isn't an iOS bashing

Mine is still going on the alleged 1%

I don't really get your point Roy?
I have a Nokia that will do 7 days with little effort, the reason being I use it for nothing other than phoning.
Not really the point of an iPhone though, is it?
Oh I agree, but the point of my experiment is to prove (to me) that, as a phone, it is more than capable of lasting several days without needing to be recharged. Most people accept that with heavy use it will drain quicker, but some people (not necessarily on here) bleat on about iPhone battery life as though they expect it to last for weeks. If users are unable to make one charge last twelve hours, then I would respectfully suggest that perhaps they might want to spend their days doing something a little more constructive than playing Angry Birds when they should be working.

I have a question. It's not specific to iPhone 5. Or at least I doubt it.
At the top of the contacts app, I have always had 'My number' displayed. Or for at least as long as I can remember. However, since changing to iPhone 5, perhaps more specifically changing to a nano SIM, this information has disappeared. Obviously it's nothing to do with the new phone, and probably not the new SIM either. My number hasn't changed, nor has my package. I'm on O2 Simplicity, and did the nano-SIM request online.
I set the handset up as a new phone, so I'm guessing theres a setting somewhere to tell the app to grab 'My number' from the SIM, but if there is, then I'm being full f**king r****d and can't see it
Danke.

Settings>phone, then it'll display your number in +44 format, the contacts app won't automatically 'grab' your number tho, you'll have to add it to your contacts.
Ahhh cheers. Although it just says unknown, and wants me to enter the number. The problem being I've forgotten some of it. Oh well, I'm sure I can find a single friend who will let me know what my number is.
Never had to bother with this before on any of my iPhones.
EDIT: I forgot about My O2. Cheers for your help. All sorted.

Poxy charger playing up on mine. Plug it in and it keeps going from charging to not and I have to wiggle the lead about!
Not sure if charger or phone related! I don't know anyone with a 5 to be able to try their charger (b****cks)
Anyone know if Vodafone will replace the phone in store or will it be via courier etc?

I've had this fault a few times. Normally it's the lead that is on it's way out. But then again my 4 had the same issue and turned out to be a phone fault.

Exactly the same happened with my birds phone. She called Voda and two minutes later they credited her account with £15. She went to PC World and boom all is fine again.

Orange have just rang offering me a 4g contract for no extra cost and my contract stays the same, mins, txts etc. Anyone else had this?

Yep.
You transfer to EE though (as opposed to being an orange customer on EE).
4G is awesome.
My download speed ranges from 35MB to 55MB.

It hasn't been without issue.
My DD date has changed (an annoyance more than anything else), and you'll need to be pretty cute on how much you owe Orange and then how they credit you for overpayments.

Yeah they said it was going to change, like a day or two difference. They also mentioned reinbursing me if ive over paid. Like you say i wilii check that as we all know what companies are like. Saying that orange have allways been preety good to me.
