Iphone Battery - its rubbish!!

[Sweetie77]

Does anybody else find that their iPhone has a pretty rubbish battery life or is it just me?? I need to charge mine everyday.

I have left the battery to drain several times and recharged completely but it is still rubbish!

I don't use it constantly, just a few games in the evenings sometimes and as an ipod 2 - 3 times a week.

If mine is worse then other peoples does anyone know if they can be changed??

I have to charge mine every day. You can almost see the battery life draining away if you use the internet on it. It's a common problem.

Turn 3 g off it will make a big difference. Also do you drive? If so get a dock for the car that charges it. Get a Road trip they are great.

As kags says, this is an issue for all 3G phones.

Turn the 3G off if you don't use it much. EDGE speed may well be perfectly fast enough for you, especially if you have wifi at home.

When you aren't using the wifi, turn that off too.

I find that I only have to charge mine every 3 or 4 days. Perfectly acceptable to me.

A case of Apple, as usual, releasing their product, before it is ready. I've had 3 ipods so far that have all carked it on me. I'm now onto my 4th and am just counting the days until it goes belly up on me.

As above

And turn off Location Services until you need it, don't set the screen too bright, turn it down indoor and at night.

Fetch new data should be off until you need it.

If I am sole using the phone/iPod I only need to charge every 3 - 4 days.

Using video or Web uses a lot of battery, and I would need to charge daily for that.

I meant as fo3nix above
