If one were to turn the screen curtain off , if visually impaired, or leave it off when fully blind, an incredible battery life would be had.

I usually get around 3 days out of my battery. I am using the iPhone 3GS so these instructions mightn't work for the newer versions of the iPhone or some of the options might be in different places. Also when I install most apps I don't allow notifications as I find it drains the battery as well but you can't use Viber with the notifications being on which is really annoying as it is a brilliant app. > > Other tips that will help save battery: > When you buy an iPhone first usually 3G and bluetooth are turned on by default. I always turn these off and only turn them on when I am using them, otherwise if you go in to settings, general, useage and stand by the useage and stand by will be the same which shouldn't be the case. > > Hope this helps. > > Regards > Mairead > > On 11/26/11, Sabrina McKiernan <sabmckiernan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> This is coming in on a question Mairead had the other day about >> turning off/deleting apps .. >> >> I am having to charge the phone every day or so is this pretty normal? >> I am just wondering if I have an app on in the background that is >> draining the battery? >> >> Joanann, you were saying that if you locate the app double tap on it >> and with another finger turn the app off?
