I just upgraded from 3gs to 4. itunes duplicated everything on the new phone. I have been draining minutes, not sure why. this phone has everything exactly like the old one, apps etc, that didn't drain minutes. I went through setting and turned off everything like notifications, push etc that would put a constant drain on the minutes used but it keeps doing it. what could it be that's not in settings, I have the same exact applications running, I cant find anything else to shut off without unloading applications and it must be a setting hidden somewhere. any ideas?

I might have caught it, with only two minutes in my E account. [maybe it stops at 2 minutes anyway? hope not] Something that I would have never thought of but I clicked on store and it said "account open" i closed it and I might have found it after taking 18 hours of internet from me. Before when I signed on the my itunes account, did my thing, then closed my phone it automatically shut itself off. Be careful if this is a new feature.

Well I guess it slowed down but still eats the minutes. cant see anything else, I have only used my phone at home and wifi so no E but something is still draining it

because of the new iOS 4.0 (on iPhone 4s and also iPhone 3Gs if updated) I found some programs continue to operate in the background (because of the multi-tasking feature).....you may need to actively close such programs operating in the background (by quick double-clicking the home button and then tap-holding the apps that appear at the bottom of the screen....

also, here is an additional discussion on unintended drain sources like bad apps etc.......http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/iphone-battery-drain-after-ios-4-0-update/
