TestFreaks.com recently came up with a 10 item list that will help you get the most out of your iPhone’s battery. While many of these tips may seem practical, you’d be surprised at how many people complain of their iPhone’s short battery life without actually trying to do something about it!
Without further ado, the tips:
- Turn down screen brightness
- Adjust email to check for email less often
- Turn off WiFi
- Turn on auto-lock for the screen
- Turn off the equalizer
- Get an external battery
- Get a mobile charger
- Turn off vibration alerts
- Turn off Bluetooth
- Update the phone often
So far, I’ve turned down my phone’s brightness (in conjunction with auto brightness,) turned off WiFi notifications, turned off the equalizer, turned on auto lock, and updated as frequently as possible. Generally I can go for about a day and a half of moderate iPhone use without having to charge the device.
Keep in mind that the more you use the device, the more calibrated your iPhone’s battery will become, and in turn the more juice you’ll be able to squeeze out of it.

Does anyone know if leaving Notifications “ON” drains the battery faster?
July 19th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Push notifications do drain the battery signifigantly faster.

Turning off 3G on the iPhone 3g saves battery also 3g drains the battery. On the 3Gs it doesn’t make a difference

Does turning on airplane mode save battery?
July 19th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Oh yeah, with airplane mode you’re turning off Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G, and a whole slew of other radio devices used by the 3GS.

what’s the use of turning on the airplane mode if you’re using the iPhone as a phone? get an iPod Touch instead.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:08 am
What if you’re not using it as a phone and don’t want to spend over 200 for an iPod touch?

Those advices could be applied not just for iphone , but for all mobile phones

You can significantly improve the battery performance by just following my words.
” Turn off the Iphone and relax”
July 20th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
That’s always good advice.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Also try turning off location services, that disables the GPS function.

Errrrr … Nr. 6 & 7 isn’t actually saving battery life, is it? It’s called recharging. Please come up with a new 6 & 7
July 29th, 2009 at 11:52 am
I always turn my phone to airplane mode whenever I don’t need to use the Wifi. It’s a good tip!

Where to go to get help working around the PIM challenges for business users of iPhone? I.E. meeting invites, contact databases, etc.? Most business users have Microsoft so need to integrate, or work around the issue. Apple help said to user a computer to set up meetings but that won’t do the trick as I am on the road a lot. If there are apps to address these issues, any suggestions to steer me toward them would be great… Thanks.
