iPhone/iPod Repair

Sometimes battery life issues are actually due to settings. Here are a few tips and tricks to dramatically increase the battery life of your iPhone. If you have jailbroken your iPhone, research an application installed through Cydia called 'SBSETTINGS'. This program will allow you to easily enable/disable any of this settings with a simple swipe across the title bar, no matter what you are doing or using your iPhone for. Some of these options might require an additional plugin for SBSETTINGS, but they are all extremely useful, especially if you wish to enable/disable these features with tremendous ease!

• Turn Off PUSH Turning off PUSH will dramatically increase the battery life of your iPhone. While it is a great feature for some, most people don't need the features of PUSH necessarily. If you only use PUSH for email, we recommend that you disable push but enable fetching to checking your email every 15-30-60 minutes. SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDAR > FETCH. While 'fetch' uses less power to update, the more times your iPhone refreshes in a day, the quicker your power can be used up, but it is significantly less than utilizing FETCH.
• Turn Off BlueTooth Turning off BLUETOOTH will also help increase the battery life of your iPhone. If you don't use bluetooth frequently, turn it off when not in use. If you don't consistently use a bluetooth headset, we recommend that you disable this in your iPhone settings. SETTINGS > GENERAL > BLUETOOTH > OFF.
• Turn Off Wifi Turning off WI-FI will help increase the battery life of your iPhone because your iPhone will #1 Stop looking for new WI-FI connections if not connected, and #2 have your iPhone utilize 3G instead. While it might be slower to use 3G/EDGE, your iPhone uses less power to use these than wifi.
• Turn Off 3G 3G is a wonderful feature and increases your speed exponentially at times when perusing the internet. However, to utilize this faster network, your iPhone requires more power usage for such usage. If you disable 3G you can dramatically increase the life of your battery, which is great for times when you battery life is low and you need to preserve as much charge as possible. SETTINGS > GENERAL > NETWORK > ENABLE 3G > OFF. Note: Some T-Mobile users do not have 3G access in your home location. If you do not, you should disable this feature.
• If your battery life still is less than acceptable, we can replace your battery with an original battery. As of yet, there are no 'better' batteries out there than what was designed for the iPhone, i.e. I can't 'upgrade' your battery until someone designs a better one. If you happen to find one let me know!
