Is anyone having a problem w/ poor standby times? I bought my phone on Saturday, fully charged once on Sunday, by this morning, I was at 62% when I left the house...it's now 6 hours later and I'm at 36% and all I did is send/receive 3 text messages today and check my portfolio for a few seconds.

I was reading on the Macrumors forums that a lot of people that set up their phone off a backup of their old phones were having similar issues. Might be worth a try to wipe it to factory and try setting it up as a new phone? If you go over there, I'm sure you could find the thread.
I got 61.02 Mbps on LTE. Holy crap!
Turn off location services? Or poor cell reception?
restoring iOS and setting up my phone as new in iTunes seemed to solve my rapid battery drain problem.
so you save your config, setup as renew, and then restore?
Got the iphone 5 couple of days ago. Love it so far. LTE is crazy fast!
Just curious -- before doing the drain-and-shutoff, did you try just restarting first to see if that did anything?ok so I let it drain to zero and shut off, then plugged it in to 100% full charge. I'm at 95% percent in 5.5hours...looks like the full charge cycle did the trick.
Our two have not even shipped yet.
I hope I get them before 10/24 - I am going away for a long weekend and would love to have them.

I'm trying to figure out how in the world I have apparently used 3GB of data in less than half a month. About 90-95% of my time is spent just looking at Twitter, Facebook or my e-mail. The majority of what I did is no different than on AT&T, and I only saw around 500MB of usage over the course of a month.
I considered that Splashtop having more bandwidth causes it to use more. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. I ran a quick test at home, and it appeared to use around 200KB/s, which is rather paltry. I've downloaded a few apps around 15MB each, and listened to the Anandtech podcast twice (about 100MB each). My only thought is that I could have been hit by the Verizon-only WiFi issue that got fixed at the end of September.
I also need to look into my battery life, because it is downright awful. When listening to the podcast yesterday, I noticed that my battery was dropping like crazy. Over the course of around an hour, I downloaded said podcast and left my screen off, but I lost over 10% of my battery life.
iCloud?
