I want to ask what is the average life of your iPhone 4 running iOS 5, with Wifi turn on, and what you are doing is just surfing through Safari. I'm getting 1 percent decrease every 3 minutes.

Is it jailbroken? Have you tried a hard reset? Does the advice in this answer (and comments) help at all? – Adam Eberbach Mar 27 '12 at 11:59

When actively browsing, that's not unusual. 1% every three minutes is 5 hours, which is expected if you've got the display on and using the wifi for browsing.

If it dropped 1% every three minutes with the display off, then you're likely running a background process that uses wifi and/or the GPS (turn by turn directions, running tracker, online streaming music, etc).
