[font=Verdana][align=center]Hey TTG,

Here are a few ways to maximize your battery life time:






Jail breaking your iphone
If you have a jail broken Iphone, then you should expect your Iphone battery to decrease.

Minimize use of location services
To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.

Delete apps from multi-task option.
You do this by double clicking home button and pressing and holding the app(s) until they start wobbling, then just click the little 'x' to delete them.

Turn off push notifications
To disable push notifications, go to Settings > Notifications and set Notifications to Off.

Fetch new data less frequently
To fetch new data manually, from the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly.

Turn off push mail
If you have a push mail account such as Yahoo! or Microsoft Exchange, turn off push when you dont need it. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and set Push to Off.

Auto-check fewer email accounts
You can save power by checking fewer email accounts. This can be accomplished by turning off an email account or by deleting it. To turn off an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and set Account to Off. To remove an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and tap Delete Account.

Turn off Wi-Fi
If you rarely use Wi-Fi then you should turn it off when you don't use it. To turn it off to save power. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and set Wi-Fi to Off.

Turn off Bluetooth
If you rarely use a Bluetooth headset or car kit, you can turn off Bluetooth to save power. Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and set Bluetooth to Off.

Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas
Because your iphone will always try and keep a network, it may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. If you are in a low coverage are, or you are not using your phone, turn airplane mod on by going to Setting > Airplane Mod > On

Adjust brightness
Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life. Go to Settings > Brightness and drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness. In addition, turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust its brightness based on current lighting conditions. Go to Settings > Brightness and set Auto-Brightness to On.

Lock Your iPhone
It may seem obvious, but you should lock your iPhone when you arent using it. You will be able to receive calls and text messages while it is locked, but nothing happens if you touch the screen. To lock iPhone, press the Sleep/Wake button. You can also set the Auto-Lock interval so your iPhone will turn off more quickly after a period of inactivity. To set Auto-Lock, go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set the interval to a short time, such as 1 minute.

FaceTime
If you are going to facetime somebody, it is always good to have it plugged in as facetime drains your battery dramatically.






I hope this has helped all iphone users to maximize your iphone battery life!
At some point in your phone's life, you will need to buy a new battery for your iphone!

Thanks.

Haha Jailbreaking definitely decreases the battery life! I am going to do a couple of these now!

Oh and if you are using Facetime.. Make sure it is on charge. Your battery will go from 100% down to about 20% in half an hour. It's ridiculous.
