Assuming that I had possibly downloaded an app that was constantly searching for something, I deleted many of the apps I had recently dl'd. It made no difference. So, after having been told by an AT&T rep in the AT&T store that I probably needed a new battery after two plus years of heavy use, I decided that there was no point in spending $85 for a battery when for $199 I could get a new 4S iPhone.

At the home screen double click the home button. This brings up the list (at the bottom of currently running apps. Press and hold one of them until the "Don't" symbol (red disk with white line) appears in the upper left corner of each app. Press the "Don't" symbol for each item until they are all gone. This quits the application. Now see how the battery fares. Don't launch any apps for the duration of the test.

If the battery stops discharging rapidly then you can try loading some apps to see if you can identify a problematic app.

2.: How can I add downloaded books to iBooks?

Using iTunes (on Windows) I used to be able to copy books to/from iBooks (iPhone/File Sharing Apps). Now, When I scroll down to file sharing apps, iBooks no longer appears. I tried going to the books tab and dragging and dropping the books but nothing appears to happen.

I just had to do this a few nights ago as the ear speaker had quit working again. Rubbing alcohol and most of the qtip removed and a couple of quick turns got it working again.

I had a problem with the mic not working on my headphone with the mic cord and read a forum that said this could be caused by lint or dirt in the headphone jack . It said to remove most of the cotton off the head of a qtip and insert and clean very lightly.
