How do I know how many apps are running are the background? I'm resetting now to see if that helps.

Double click of home button or four finger pinch on main screen
Then hold an app until jiggling. Delete sign appears, press all of the apps delete sign, the apps will turn off in the background. Do this every so often. It helps battery life

I definitely think my battery is better. Though I still lose 8% every hour when I read in iBooks, which probably isn't much, but it bugs me, lol

I don't really check battery unless it's really quick so it must be fine for me!

I watch my battery meter like a hawk, but that's probably out of habit because my (POS Android) phone drains battery incredibly fast and I constantly have to watch it.

iPad battery seems to last slightly longer on my wifi pad with the upgrade to 5.0.1, although was not having any real problems before. Watched a movie last night and it dropped about 7%. I'm happy!

Let the battery run down over night.will give it a re charge and test the use time.

Same here. I swear, my aria battery drains if I even look at the damn thing. I'm constantly checking the battery on my iPad because of it. My brother gave me his old iPhone 3G! I just need to replace the screen then bye bye Android

I'm getting a 4S on the 20th. My parents refuse to let me buy it anywhere but Verizon and I fear they won't have it in stock because they're dumb. At least I get to ORDER it on the 20th, if nothing else..
