Is this OK...?

Usage: 4 Hours, 24 Minutes
Standby: 11 Hours, 50 Minutes

And I only have about 15% left. It's just about dead. My battery also doesn't glow like it should. Do you think I have a bad battery?

it's good if you were using wifi browsing the internet for the whole 4 hours 24 minutes... might as well trade it in.. you're supposed to be able to get 8 hours of talk time

depends on how you used it.. wifi internet the whole 3 hours? break down how you used the 3hours... and was your wifi turned on during the 17 hours standby? that will definitely kill the battery

Apple says that the battery is good for 6 hours of internet use!

seems normal.. I got 5 hours 30 minutes usage and 1 day 11 hours standby when I got the 20% remaining pop up... it all depends on your brightness settings, wifi on or off, how loud your volume is on calls, music etc..

Just got home from the Harry Potter, midnight showing.

Lots of waiting... and waiting...

Usage: 5 hours, 5 minutes.

Standby: 15 hours, 52 minutes.

and I still have about 30% of my battery left. Not even red yet. =]

cool.. I think the average is right around there.. between 5-6 hours usage before the 20% remaining pops up... the people that have 9 hours usage and still have 50% or more remaining amaze me

I did that before too.. my battery was at 20% and I went on wifi to see how long it would last til it got to 5%... it went fast, it seemed like it only took 30 minutes to go down to 5%

yup, i left wifi and bt on all the time, brightness about 50%. I reduced brightness down to about 25% now, truned off bt, now im gonna charge it over night see if im able to get more usage tomorrow. I figured if i reduce the standby time i probably will get more usage time, will see tomorrow.
