yes standby time is how long has ur phone been alive since last charge
the iphone 4s users we posting their standby time to compare each other battery usage n drainage back then using the screenshot of this usage n standby time
usage time is how long u have been using it in total, use means call, game, browsing
standby means how long your phone has been powered by battery
if you have connected to a charger for a small charge or plug in computer for a sync, it will display a note under standby time that the phone has been pluggin in
if youve just done a full cycle charge you will see standby time reset and starts again as how long has it been after full recharge and will notshow how long it will last like 18 hours or so.
Added on January 28, 2012, 7:59 amso certain ppl who used their phone less will have a low usage time and higher standby time
wheres ppl who used their phone a lot will have a higher usage time and a lower standby time
its simple, use phone more, phone usage high,
battery consumed more
use phone less, battery consume less, more standby time
Thnx mate for ur detailed explanation...
