Wait, two of these tips are just ‘Charge the phone’. The other eight work well, but I’m trying to conserve battery life because I don’t have access to my charger.

Lovely tips! The phone’s wi-fi uses a lot of the phone’s battery. It can sometimes be frustrating when the phone runs out of battery. But these tips will surely make it less frustrating as it will prolong the battery life.

I just came from the apple store and they showed me something that I did hear before in any blog.
you need to double click in the bottom at the bottom of the phone and hold the applications for 3 seconds to shut them down. Now from cycles of 4 to 5 hours I get a full day. The applications stay open since the latest upgrade and you have to shut them down manually with that process.

Let me get this right… So to keep the phone powered for more than a few hours simply disable the fun features you bought the phone to use…….

@everyone thats complaining about this article: stfu? this guy spent his time telling you ways to keep you from buying another damn iphone battery and yet you guys are complaining ? why would you even read this article then ?

@phil: your a d!!ick. waste your time ? are you the f(u)cking CEO of mcdonalds? you wasted more time posting the damn comment then reading it

@luke: a brick ? go buy a brick and put it on your useless head. he means that turn it all off when your DONE using it/your going to sleep.

@franklimideer or w/e his stupid name is: the motorolas were SO shitty that no one wanted to buy them so they went bankrupt and almost SHUT DOWN. dont compare a moto with something as powerful as an iphone.

@mile:no one cares about your german crap. if you dont like his info, just dont complain. exit the browser and go jack off.

@the other annonymous dude: good job. go tell those p3n1s wads to f(uu)ck off.

please know your things before you make an offending complaint on the subject

Ok, Cydia just released a great fix called Auto3G. Here is the description: “Auto3G extends your battery life by automatically turning off the 3G radio (leaving on the 2G radio) when you lock your iPhone and automatically turning on the 3G radio when you unlock your iPhone. This way you always have the speed of 3G when you need it without the battery loss. As explained by Apple, this results in up to 100% greater battery life: “7 hours of talk time on 3G, 14 hours of talk time on 2G.” (apple.com/batteries/iphone.html)”

I have had my phone since about December. I was quite happy with the battery life until the last few weeks. Now I’ve gone from an ecstatic iphone 3gs owner to a frustrated one. I would gladly purchasea new battery to get back to the life it had before … but I take it the battery is not replaceable and I’m left with this failing battery?

I bet iPhone owners are hoping that the iPhone4 catches up with the rest of the world and has a changeable battery!

Not bad info but IMO you need to have a charger at home and at work.
