how can i increase battery life of a iphone ?

Q. i have seem someone having an external battery, anyone know details of it?

A. Unfortunately, the iphone battery is not as good as we would like it to be. However, you can follow these steps to increase the batter life. http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

For me, just decreasing the brightness, turning off wifi and bluetooth, works the best.

How much should it cost to replace an Iphone 4 battery and earpiece?
Q. I dropped my phone in water and brought it to a shop to be fixed. They charged me 30$ just to find out what the problem is. They said the battery and earpiece have to be replaced which would cost 100$. This seems expensive to me. Does it seem like a good price?

A. In my pinion, it's more expensive than the battery.why not try to find a replacement ,such as mobile power.It becomes a tendency to use external battery in most cellphones,also other devices can be applied for.
I bought a external battery for my cellphone ,it looks like good in quality and reasonable price.Just cost me $55 only.Most importantly,it can be used while travaling.Hope you can find a suitable one for you cellphone. www.1esource.com

How to prolong the life of an iPhone battery?
Q. The battery life on my iPhone 3G is woeful - I have to charge it every couple of days as a minimum, but some days the battery life just falls away in front of my eyes, even if I'm barely using it. For example I had approx. 75% of the battery life left when I went to bed last night, and when I got up this morning the battery was empty, bizarrely!

I've just turned off location services and bluetooth this morning, but has anyone else got any experience or tips on what can be done to prolong the battery life?

A. First off, is your iPhone jailbroken? If it is, then unjailbreaking it can be the first step to prolonging your iPhone battery. There are several jailbroken apps that drain the iPhone battery like crazy. These include (but are not limited to) Winterboard (which applies custom themes but can drain the battery since it simply overlaps the theme over the original, thus making the iPhone have to work harder than usual), Backgrounder (let's apps run in the background, and apps drain the battery), and Insomnia (which further allows apps to run in the background even when you lock the screen thus draining the battery even while on standby). Removing these apps (or the whole jailbreak in general) can vastly prolong the life of your iPhone battery.

If your iPhone is not jailbroken, then there are other things that you can try to prolong the iPhone battery aside from turning off Location Services and Bluetooth:

1) Turn off the automatic brightness and then adjust it to a level that is suitable for you. You should change your brightness manually for each situation that you use your iPhone, whether it be in the dark or in the light, just adjust it yourself. The iPhone light sensor is convenient but not always the most accurate when deciding how much back light you need.

2) Are you constantly on your Safari app or any other app that requires network to access? No? Didn't think so. Whenever you're not using network based apps, go to settings and disable the 3G antenna. By doing this, the iPhone will only search and connect with AT&T's EDGE network which (according to Apple) will double your battery life.

3) Are you always in a wi-fi hot spot? Most likely not. And even if you were, make sure that your Wi-Fi switch is off whenever you are not using any internet based apps or whenever there is no Wi-Fi around since it also drains the battery.

4) Push notifications? Is it necessary to receive every e-mail and be able to see it the moment you receive it? Is it really necessary for you to know if you have gotten a new e-mail within the past 15 minutes or hour or so? I doubt anyone needs to know if they have gotten an e-mail the moment they receive it (well most people anyway) so its best to turn off push notifications and have your e-mails be retrieved when you actually open the Mail app. Either that or set it to be retrieved hourly. Every 15-30 minutes seems a little too excessive since you're probably sleeping 8 out of the 24 hours in a day.

5) Try to use headphones instead of relying on the external speaker for apps/music whenever possible. The headphones don't use as much energy as the speaker does. When you use the speaker, turn down the volume to a comfortable level.

If you still feel as though your battery life is still really bad after doing all of the above (and by bad I mean, having to charge more than once a day) then maybe restoring it back to factory settings could help. If that still doesn't work, then it could be that your battery's life has been cut down to a fraction of what it used to be.

However, maybe you won't have to go as far as to restoring your iPhone if the reason why you're iPhone battery drains so fast is because you use it constantly all day. Just cut down on how much you use apps and games and before each charge, check your battery performance under settings. It will display your iPhone's usage since the last full charge as well as how long it has been on standby. Usually, I can get up to 18 hours of standby and 4 hours of usage before needing to charge it again (just a rough estimate). Over time, if you see that it takes fewer usage time to drain your battery and you have been following the same routine, then you could consider getting a new battery. But at the prices where they are at, maybe it's best to just get the new iPhone when it comes out.

Good luck!
