Default Small Tip For Get Better Battery Life

I always see people complain about battery life after each update. I also notice how people don't like to turn their phones off aswell...

I figure I'll share a little tip with you guys. Some might already know however some might not.

Restarting your iPhone is very important first and foremost. After a full change , unplug the charger and restart your phone. You might notice your phone saying 99% ( for 3GS users with the percentage indicator on ) or when you plug the charger back in , the battery indicator doesn't say that it's full.

When you open certain apps and close them , they still still suck up some battery.

So I Suggest everyone do this after a full charge once a day in the morning.

I got the iPhone so I wouldn't need to restart it daily like past phones.

I've found a free memory app works really well to bring back it's speed and gets rid of quirks as well.

I swear when I read the title I thought it was going to be one of those prank threads that just said keep your iPhone off LOL

Meh I only reboot when my phone freezes or has a problem I have a charger at work and at home so I pretty much never run below 60-70% until night time.

I am coming home after a 8-10 hour day with between 70 and 70% battery life.
I don't listen to music, but I check mail, SMS, take and get business and personal calls....16g 3GS
(FWIW, I am not jailbroken or unlocked....YET)
my phone has never been turned off...and I have had it for a month

How bad do Bluetooth kill the battery? The law says I have to use hands free, I have always used the earbuds but wants to try Bluetooth.
