How to Extend The Battery Life on The iPhone or iPod Touch

If you're an iPhone user, you may know that the battery life on the iPhone is not the best. The iPhone has a lot of great features such as Push E-Mail, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth and others more. Unfortunately, those are the features that decreases the battery life on the iPhone. I know that you can have a choice to get the Mophie Juice Pack, but it's a hundred dollars. For those who can't get their hands on a Mophie Juice Pack, I did some research and I wanted to share with you how to extend the battery life on the iPhone or the iPod Touch. You don't have to do all of these tips, but they can help a lot. 

Turn off 3G

I know this is kind of pointless if you bought the iPhone 3G just to use the 3G network that AT&T provides. The fact is that 3G loads data much faster but it decreases a lot of battery when in use. Just remember that 3G is limited and it's not everywhere, so it's best to just turn it off.

Decrease the brightness

Bright displays look very stunning and beautiful. The more bright the display, the more the battery it eats up so try to decrease the brightness.

Turn off Push E-Mail

This is something that most power users depend on. Push E-mail allows you to get your E-Mails instantly in seconds. Unfortunately, the phone constantly keeps looking of E-Mails every seconds and that eats up a lot of battery life. I personally get about 10 e-mails a day so I don't need to have all of my e-mails sent to me right away. You can have it set to where the phone checks for new e-mail every 15 minutes, 30 minutes or every hour. To save battery life, fetch less frequently.

Turn off  Location Services

I know that the GPS is a great feature on the iPhone 3G, but if you have it on all the time it may decrease the battery life. So simply just turn it off and turn it back on whenever you need it. 

Turn off Wi-Fi whenever you're not in a Wi-Fi hotspot

I love Wi-Fi and I use this everyday on my iPhone. However if you have Wi-Fi on and you're not on a Wi-Fi hotspot, the phone is constantly looking for other networks and that eats up the battery life. If you travel a lot and you know that there's no hotspots around, it is best to turn it off. This tip really helps for most iPod Touch users as well. 

Turn off the vribrate when the ringer is on

Sometimes when the ringer is on and you get a call, the iPhone rings and vribrates. Vribration uses up a lot of battery, so it's best to turn of the setttings to where it vribrates when it rings. You can have it set to where it only vibrates when the ringer is off, if you want to know how to do that, check out my video below. 

Turn off the EQ

The iPhone is a great iPod, most people like to use the EQ on it. Unfortunately, it eats up a lot of battery life. Personally I don't need the EQ, as long as I can hear my music, then I'm fine. It's best to just turn off the EQ on the iPod Settings.

I hope these tips helped out a lot to some people. Remember you don't have to do all of these tips but they do help.
