Want to uncover iOS 5 ’secrets’? Check out these posts! Part 1 | Part 2It’s seems that excessive battery consumption is a common complaint for the initial releases of iOS updates, and something that gets fixed by Apple (or at least improved on) with subsequent updates.
Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to help you squeeze more out of each charge. Let’s take a look at a few things you can do.
Note: I’ve tested every single one of these options and each one does seem to have a positive impact on LG P1-P2LCF Laptop Battery life. I’m not suggestion you employ all of them, but turning off what you don’t use makes a lot of sense.
Drop the screen brightness
One of the easiest ways to improve battery life on the iPhone is to drop the screen brightness. When I updated my iPhone 4 from iOS 4 to iOS 5, Apple jacked the brightness up to an unnecessary ’supernova’ level. Unless I’m outdoors, I usually keep my screen pretty dim.Auto-Lock the screen
Another tip that makes a big difference is to lock the screen after a short interval. This helps conserve ACER Aspire 5738 Laptop Battery life because it turns the screen off when your handset is not in use.Set it to go off after a minute or two.
Location, location, location!
iO 5 bought with is a lot of Locations Services features, but all of these features have a negative effect on battery life.Settings > General > Location Services
Either disable the whole lot, or selectively enable it for a specific set of apps. The more apps that can use Location Services, the more juice they’ll use.
iOS 5 has some hidden tweaks too (hidden because you have to scroll to the bottom of the Locations Services screen and click on System Services to find them):
You can keep Location Based iAds and Setting Time Zone off permanently (your time is set by the local carrier automatically anyway).
Kill off background apps
The more apps you have running in the background, the more juice you’ll use. Kill off any apps you don’t want running in the background regularly by double-tapping the Home button to bring up the multitasking dock and then press down on an icon until they all start to jiggle, then kill any apps that might be working in the background - apps such as Skype and Pandora are likely suspects.The last resort
Turn the handset off to conserve power - Press and hold the top button until the Slide to power off instruction appears, then slide to power off. Simple really!Be your own recharge station
Carry a battery pack with you. I like and extensively use a few New Trent HP EliteBook 6930p battery packs (the 5000mAh IMP50D and the monster iPad-compatible 11000mAh IMP1000).Bonus tip!
Never pass up an opportunity to charge up! That means carrying a charger with you (or at the very least an iPhone USB cable) and having a car cord handy when on the road.RE: iPhone/iOS 5 battery saver tips
It is probably more of an inadequate settings issue, but I would like more information about the impact of the notifications, whether turning them off also disables them in the app when it is running....
RE: iPhone/iOS 5 battery saver tips
@keebaud@... Lithium ion ACER Aspire 5740-5513 Battery do not suffer so much from the frequent recharge problem of old. But battery makers do suggest at least once a month allow the battery to go below 10% to get the most life out of it. Yes, it is a shame as much as I like the iPhone. The lack of a removable battery prevents me from buying one.
RE: iPhone/iOS 5 battery saver tips
@jscott418 -- I've had all the models of iPhone since 2008 and no problems w/ the ACER Aspire 5920G battery giving up the ghost before its time to move on to the next model. the same can not be said for my ipod Touch. but the batteries on the iPhone - i haven't noticed even degradation in performance at all. don't let that stop you. It's the unreasonable U.S.-based telecom carriers that make the iPhone exhausting after a while, but not the battery life.
btw, there's an essential jailbreak app called SBsettings which gives you a instant drop-down control panel for most of the settings mentioned in the article (bluetooth, brightness, wifi, airplane, gps, etc. -- this helps tremendously w/ extending SONY VGP-BPS13B/S battery life.

RE: iPhone/iOS 5 battery saver tips
@keebaud@... Yep, current batteries aren't as susceptible. I tend to still "train" a new battery with a few complete charge/discharge cycles but I'm just hedging my bets. New batteries don't degrade when left discharged either - some actually last longer that way. My preference remains to run a battery down a fair bit before charging but I suspect that's just habit.
So basically make it a dumb phone
So I guess you spent all that money on a smart phone and now to save battery life you say to turn everything off and make it a dumb phone? Basically that's what is happening. Phones have become so reliant on web access and updating that battery life has suffered greatly.
Unfortunately the Dell 6Y270 battery technology has not kept up and is a roadblock to smart phones. Apple has increased its iPhone speed, added more features which do affect data access and battery life. The bad part about the iPhone is you can't just swap out batteries either.

RE: iPhone/iOS 5 battery saver tips
On my WP7 phone I have WiFi and Bluetooth on and haven't activated the ACER Extensa 4630Z battery saver setting and still get 2-3 days while my iPhone friends seem to be plugging in each night.
Of course the real battery saver is to use it as a smartphone, rather than an entertainment or gaming device

RE: iPhone/iOS 5 battery saver tips
@Peter Perry i thought the same thing too but i adjusted some settings and it's great now. i'm not an expert but the two things i did that seemed to help the most were turning off weather and stocks in notification center and turning off "Set Automatically" under the Date and Time in settings.
seriously this article is worthless. google ios 5 ACER Aspire 5740-5513 battery tips and you'll get some practical advice. note: avoid any article written by this dude

Probably you are charging it wrong.. Well keeping jokes aside, I think you have a bad device. I had this type of problem with my iPhone 4. It had trouble with earphone and the push notifications. Apple changed it to a newer device. My advice is take it back to Apple.

In any event I am trying to follow the CRAFTSMAN 223310 battery tips, but especially since the patch my iPhone 3gs crashes so often it is hard to get to them all. Turning off iCloud is so far impossible and a very lengthy procedure. It churns and churns while processing and then crashes before completing the off setting. Very frustrating. I was glad to see Stanza back but it crashed often when doing anything although seemed to work once reading. I cannot blame it though, the iPhone General settings keeps crashing too, so it is the iOS5.0.1 that is the main culprit. I only mention Stanza as the neat screen dimming feature may only be a neutral filter type dimming, thus not actually saving battery life. Perhaps they have fixed this. MegaReader when it introduced the feature actually uses the system dimming thus saving in Presario 2232US-PR309UA battery life, although there is another option too.
