I have a 4S as well and don't worry I had the battery issue as well. Did you install the the latest update? That is suppose to help the battery a little. Also Apple is coming out with another update in a week or two that will help the battery further. The iPhone 4S battery life is going to be worse than the iPhone 4. I think the iPhone 4 get 300 hours standby while the iPhone 4S only gets 200 hours. In the 4S apple improved both the processor and camera but kept the battery the same. Since the new parts do require more power it is no surprise the battery life is worse. You will get use to it though. I usually just turn off the battery percentage tracker since i hate to see the numbers going down. As for the volume that might be a problem. The speakers on my 4S sound great. Either way if you don't have the latest update you should install that first.
