Tips for saving iPhone 4S Battery Life

A growing number of iPhone 4S owners are reporting battery problems with Apple’s newest handheld. The device seems to be draining unusually quickly during both regular use and when on standby.


The iPhone 4S has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It’s supposed to provide up to 8 hours of 3G talk time (14 hours of 2G), and standby time of up to 200 hours.Heavy Internet use drops total battery life to 6 hours on 3G, and 9 hours on WiFi. Interestingly, watching video will give you 10 hours of battery life on the 4S — two more hours than continuous phone usage.


If you’re suffering from iPhone 4S battery drain, there are a few solutions you can try.
--Many users have reported improved battery life after draining the device completely (or rather, until the almost-spent device powers off itself), and then letting it fully charge back up, uninterrupted.
--Another user in Apple’s forums found that disabling the calendar in his Exchange mail account, and then enabling it again, dramatically improved battery life.
-- Try lowering screen brightness, turning off Wi-Fi
--Reduce use of Siri(Siri takes up more battery than regular iPhone. Sure, Siri is fun to play with when you first get your iPhone 4S, but to save battery life, use it only when necessary.)
--Turn off location based services and  location based reminders
--Delete the Find My Friends app. It’s a huge drain. If you can’t or won’t do that, at the very least move your friends from the All section to Temporary.
--You can also switch off push updating for email, and manually fetch mail instead.
--Check out this article on Gizmodo for more details and additional tips.
