How does Apple’s newest phone compare in battery life during constant gaming? With minimum brightness, but everything else cranked up, it lasted 3 hours 29 minutes, which is 53 minutes longer than the baseline (see part 1). This video is a time-lapse, showing a minute of gameplay every second. I had to experiment with lighting & camera settings during this one, since minimum brightness is so much harder to see. The usual light I was using was blinding out the screen. So, the scene goes dark …

How to Increase iPhone 3G Battery Life

Posted by under Cell Phones on Tuesday Nov 17, 2009

One of the hottest gadgets on the market today is the iPhone. Since its introduction in 2007, it has quickly become synonymous with fashionable and powerful consumer electronics. Although the original iPhone was a huge success for Apple, customers quickly began voicing their recommendations for the inevitable second iteration of the stylish phone. For instance, customers made it clear that 3G speeds would greatly improve the email, internet browsing, and other data capabilities the phone already possessed. Others proclaimed that the omission of GPS capabilities in such a powerful device was inexcusable, since so many other modern phones include GPS and the iPhone is already heavily integrated with Google Maps.


Around the 1 year anniversary of the original iPhone, Steve Jobs and company introduced the most asked-for features in the second generation of the iPhone called the iPhone 3G. It did, in fact, include the two features mentioned above, as well as some other hardware and software improvements/tweaks. Apple also announced that the battery life, something the iPhone was no particularly known for, would also be improved. This was welcome news to anyone interested in owning one of these ever so popular phones.


However, as users bought the phones and began using the new features in everyday situations, it became apparent that the increase in battery life was all but offset by the slew of new hardware and software features included in the second generation phone. In fact, users began to complain that the new battery would not last through a standard workday, something the original iPhone had no problem doing in most situations.


You may find yourself in the same boat if you own an iPhone 3G. However, there are certain steps you can take to prolong the life of the iPhone, allowing you to choose a comfortable balance of usability and battery life that will suit your individual needs.


3G


The 3G capabilities of the new iPhone allow for faster downloads, quicker emailing, speedier maps, and much more. However, 3G coverage is not available in all areas and is poor in others. If you do not use the 3G network very often, you can turn it off completely in the iPhone’s settings menu. Otherwise, when not in a coverage area or when not using 3G for a long period of time, turning it off while not in use will improve the overall battery life.


Wi-Fi


If you are rarely near any Wi-Fi hotspots that you can connect to, you can turn Wi-Fi off completely in the iPhone settings menu which will save your battery for other things. If you do use Wi-Fi on a regular basis, it is also beneficial to turn off the “ask to join networks” feature to keep the iPhone from trying to get you to connect every time you are near wireless internet.


Screen Brightness


As with almost any other electronic device with a screen, changing the screen brightness level in the iPhone’s settings menu can alter the battery life considerably. By default, the iPhone uses a sensor to detect the light levels surrounding the phone and adjusts the screen to a comfortable brightness accordingly. If you need all the battery you can muster, you should turn off this automatic screen brightness option and then turn the screen brightness down as low as you can while still being able to see the display.


Push and Auto-Fetch


The new iPhone also features an option for email to be “pushed” to your device as soon as it arrives on your email server. This is a vital option for anyone who relies on important emails for business and other important information when seconds count. However, if we are honest with ourselves, most of us do not need such instantaneous delivery. Turning off the push function will save battery life since the iPhone will not be connecting to the server so frequently. Similarly, the iPhone can be set to automatically check for new email messages every so often. Turning this function off and manually checking for new emails when you want to read them will also add some runtime to the battery.


iPod EQ


The iPod functions of the iPhone are revolutionary and fun to use, meaning a significant amount of battery life may be used listening to music. One thing that can help cut down on the amount of battery this uses is turning off the EQ functions of the iPod. If you aren’t a fan of heavy base or blaring highs, this method may be for you. Also, the iPhone’s speaker cannot handle many EQ setting very well, meaning that unless you are using headphones, the EQ can be turned off without much of a difference being noticed.


Bluetooth


Last, but not least, the iPhone’s battery can be extended by keeping bluetooth turned off. The iPhone is not capable of sharing files or syncing with a computer over bluetooth, so unless you are using a wireless headset, keep the bluetooth turned off and you’ll never know the difference.

Soon to be a part of our lives – the Apple iPhone 3G S holds the promise of speedier performance, and – we hold our breath – a longer battery life. The previous edition – the Apple iPhone 3G, while a fantastically sophisticated iPhone offering, was a little short of the battery oomph necessary to keep it going all day – barely a day’s use, if you were lucky.

With “speed” as the new watch-word, it will be nice to see if the 3G S comes up to scratch. As always in the IT and phone world, software features run way ahead of the physical capabilities of the hardware itself, and that is what Apple is trying to address with their new upgrade.

We still see the same features as the older 3G version offered – Cut, Copy and Paste, MMS and a landscape keyboard which is very handy and much easier to use than the vertical type – but then Apple has always been into ergonomics, right from the day they brought out their first personal computer.

Then, too, the new 3G S has Voice Memos and Spotlight Search, and a camera – and there the paths of the two iPhone designs part ways:

Whereas the old version 3G had a 2-Megapixel camera with no auto-focus, the 3G S now sports a 3-Megapixel camera, with autofocus capability. Let’s hope that it’s fast – there is nothing worse than trying to take an action shot of your loved ones and then find the moment has disappeared into the wild blue due to a slow autofocus on your phone’s camera.

Then there comes the Improved Performance – a new processor which supports 7.2Mbps HSDPA for speedier Web browsing. This should make loading faster, and with a storage capacity of either 16GB or 32GB, if the 3G S meets expectations we are in for pleasant surfing. With updated 3-D graphics facilities – users are in for a gaming experience we have only dreamed about – the 3G S is up to twice as fast as the 3G.

If you are inclined to follow the Highway Code, the Apple iPhone 3G S provides total hands-free operation . Voice Control allows you to verbally ask for a call to a name on your contact list, or select music on your iPhone, recognising composer and song name.

In line with the voice control, the Apple 3G S offers features to improve accessibility to those who are visually impaired. This includes a VoiceOver screen reader, a zoom feature, and white on black display option. For those with hearing impairment there is the Mono Audio facility.

With a built in digital compass, you will always know where you are headed. This could be particularly useful in situations such as hill walking, especially for the direction-confused map-reader, as the 3G S will rotate the map to suit the direction in which you are facing.

With Tethered Internet capability (share with Mac Notebook or PC laptop 4), video and voice recording and plenty of apps in the Apps Store to choose from, the Apple iPhone 3G S seems to offer a good package for its rather pricy tag – costing a hefty £275 (average price), time will tell whether users of the 3G will feel the upgrade is worth while.

The new iPhone sure looks great and it is a promising device that captures the taste of business users as well as casual users. Investing might be a good idea but it is always safe to cut some cash by taking http://emobilephonedeals.co.uk/’>cheap mobile phone cashback offers, there are also a lot of different http://emobilephonedeals.co.uk/apple-iphone’>iPhone 3G S deals to choose from.
