how to extend your iphone 3g battery life
Well the new 3g iphone is all good, apart from the fact that the 3g takes a big chunk out of your battery, i even had mine run out of battery in a day, which never happened with my first generation iphone.
Use these tips to extend the battery life on your new iphone 3g:
- Turn 3g function off when your not using it, you can do this on the iphone easily
- Use wifi over 3g where possible
- Turn down the screen brightness
- Use the all new google search app instead of launching safari all the time
By using all or a combination of the above, you should be able to extend the battery life on the handset.

Here is was REALLY helped my iPhone 3G battery… A LOT! AND I even keep 3G ENABLED!
1) Turn push mail off. Set mail to fetch at 1 hour intervals.
2) Turn WiFi off when not needed.
3) Turn Bluetooth off when not needed.
4) AND… This one is VITALLY IMPORTANT: when you find yourself using GPS, you MUST go into settings and turn Location Services OFF AGAIN! This is a major bug and hopefully Apple fixes it soon. This 4th step is the one that saved me. It meant the different between having my battery drained before lunch – to having it at at about 90% capacity at bedtime!
