Loading ...I am not too sure about this, but post iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade, my battery seems to be draining out a bit too quickly. Is it because of Push Notification feature? I have AP Mobile and Hey Where Are You apps that are using Push Notification feature. Last evening I switched off Push Notification, my battery seems to have improved a bit. Not too sure if this happened due to turning off the Push Notification feature.
Is anyone else facing battery problem after upgrading to 3.0 OS?

If you weren't previously using a PUSH e-mail service (exchange / Yahoo for example). Then you wont have noticed a battery drain previously.
You have to expect increased battery drain due to the way PUSH data is delivered, it's just one of those things, if your not happy with it then you'll have to live without PUSH data.
Oh just one more thing… there is no time interval setting on PUSH accounts on the iPhone, are you sure you’re using PUSH e-mail? (Only Microsoft Exchange / MobileMe & Yahoo! are PUSH enabled)
Might in that case be the interval set by the push service for “pinging” your device.
Just depends what Apples APNS API allows you to define in the way you send notifications to it.
The Push emailing service wasnt draining my battery at all. I have email push set to 15mins still and my battery doesnt drain.
But I think AP mobile was the culprit. I have AIM push on from morning and my battery seems to be just fine.

yup, thats what happened, mine was fully charged when i went to sleep and 6 hours later i was switched off and completely out of battery, i think the problem is with AP Mobile, i have installed Beejive, although i have it PNS active, i havent recieved any but the battery seems to be stable.
Exactly.. the same thing was happening to me as well.. I had AP news push active. and every morning I wake, my battery would be down by 20-30%.
Yup, when i first updated to 3.0, my battery was getting used up even when the phone was asleep, i had push enabled and AP mobile installed. Did a restore again and it was back to normal. Thanks to Beejive 3.0 i have enabled Push again just an hour ago, will keep u posted!
