Maximizing Battery Life in iPhone 3G
With such high-tech, power-hungry features that you're getting on the iPhone, it's no surprise that many users don't get the battery life that they'd like to. However, there are a number of simple ways to lengthen the time between charges, as well as prevent the premature need for battery replacement.
Reduce Exposure to Harsh Temperatures
Lock the Screen When Your iPhone or iPod Is Not in Use
Turn Off Email Autocheck
Turn Off Wi-Fi
Turn Off Bluetooth
Turn On Auto-Brightness
Turn Off Equalizer
Turn On Airplane Mode (when possible)
Charge Everywhere
Cycle the Charge at Least Once a Month
iPhone 3G Weaknesses
The iphone scores poorly in the email department. And its so bad that I have to continue using my Blackberry. The only commendable advantage that I can see is that it does HTML mails and that it automatically fetches your emails when you first run it. Reading simple mail attachments are fine, including office documents. Push mails are OK for Microsoft Exchange and fair for Funambol users.
One annoying thing I find unsatisfactory is the Contacts. Apple just does not allow you to type in an Alphabet search for names but forces you to scroll up and down that few hundreds contacts alphabetically sorted. That's bad.
Another worth mentioning weakness lies in her virtual keyboard. Despite the "intelligent" word correction feature built-in, just makes composing long emails or text messages frustrating. In fact, it constantly over-suggest itself, thinking its smarter than the user. Phone does not default to the dial pad, which most people expects, but stays at the last accessed menu. Notes does not allow simple categories to sort each of your notes and resides in one long list.
As many mentioned, text messages still cannot be forwarded, and it still lacks a fundamental copy and paste function. To top it all up, a simple search is absent on the device, making it a brick when information search is required.
