If you are one of those thousands of iPhone users who upgrade to OS 3.1, you might have felt that your iPhone needs more rounds of charges as compared to previous OS version. This is happening due to OS 3.1 guys. For a change Apple has acknowledged this issue and Apple is contacting some affected customers as well to diagnose the root cause of this issue. Wired mag covered this news as well:
In Apple’s support forums, nearly 500 posts complain about the iPhone’s shortened battery life after upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1. The AppleCare help desk is contacting some of these forum members with an 11-part questionnaire, according to The iPhone Blog.
The questionnaire includes queries about possible power suckers such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and push e-mail. Question 10, for example, reads, “When you notice a power drop, does it seem to be a legitimate power drop, or rather an issue with the battery icon indicator?”
Thankfully I havent yet upgraded to OS 3.1 as I dont know Genius feature for Apps. I surely know what kinds of apps is good for me . Anyways, coming back to this issue, there is no clear solution for this issue. Apple should release another firmware sometime soon to solve this issue. Till then you could try this out: Doing a clean wipe of the iPhone might help. You will have to go for a complete Restore. A painful proceedure
There is this company called Dahon which makes folding bikes. Dahon has invented a cool little gizmo called the BioLogic FreeCharge which can be hooked on to a bike and can start charging your iPhone. A full charge will take 3 hours, but you could probably charge your iPhone for 20-30 minutes with around 30 minutes of cycling. BioLogic FreeCharge is a little silicone-encased box with a generator hub and siphons off power for charging any of your gadgets.
A note from the developer of this accessory:
An iPhone takes about 3hrs to reach full charge, so it’s not like you could fully charge it while on your lunch break, but the BioLogic FreeCharge would allow you to fully use your device all the time while you ride. I could see how the FreeCharge would be the item to have for touring riders next year. And Dahon will include this item standard on two bikes, the Ios XL and the Speed TR. I imagine stepping out of an airport or train station, unfolding my bike and popping my iPhone onto the FreeCharge so I can continuously use the GPS ap without killing the battery.
This innovative iPhone accessory has an external battery pack and brings along a DUAL SIM function.This accessory is not approved by Apple and would require you to jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone. But the concept is pretty cool. The battery pack has a Q-Dual Dual SIM card adapter that allows iPhone 3G/3GS to use two SIMs and users can easily switch between the two SIMs on the iPhone. The external battery has 1900mAh capacity and works as a protection case.
Features:
- One iPhone (3G / 3G s) with 2 SIM Cards (see note below)
- No need to cut your SIM CARD
- STK Menu (see installations below)
- Portable power pack (Enough Power to hold your iPhone for days while you are travelling)
- Access to all ports of your iPhone 3G / 3Gs (Except the silence switch)
- As a protective case to your iPhone 3G / 3Gs (made with same material used in iPhone 3G)
- Perfect integration, almost no seams, no longer bulky
- To Sync with your PC / Mac even when the battery is on
- No need to take off the battery even you need to Sync your iPhone 3G / 3Gs
- To control when to have Data HotSync and when to charge
- USB Cable for charging (hidden USB Cable for your data connection and charging anytime,anywhere, and always with you)

You will find more than 1001 ways to conserve battery life out of your iPhone when you hit ‘iPhone battery life’ on google. I have been following ways and means to conserve iPhone battery life myself from a long time and have been sharing those tips on this blog. Here is another one. I found this on Techradar, shared by Dan Grabham -‘How to make your iPhone battery last for days’
Note from the Author – Keep an eye on how long your iPhone typically lasts by going to Settings > General > Usage. Although this is not completely a power-saving tip, before you leave for holiday, it’s always best to make sure you have the latest software installed: Apple is always working on little fixes to improve your iPhone’s power savings.
Keep it cool – Don’t put your phone in the sun. Don’t leave it in a hot pocket.
Don’t use power-sucking apps you don’t need to - Minimise your app use, especially if it’s a game, stuff that sucks data (hello, Facebook) or uses GPS.
Turn off 3G – There’s no point in wasting juice looking for it. Settings > General > Network and slide Enable 3G to Off.
No to EQ – Equalising your iPod playback can drain your battery pack. Settings > iPod > EQ is where to turn it off.
Don’t fetch – Set the common apps to only fetch data when you want them to. Set Mail, Contacts and Calendars to only fetch data Manually.
Don’t make long calls – You’re conserving battery by just keep ‘em short.
Lock it up – Make sure you lock the screen and set the auto-lock to a minute in case you leave it unlocked.
Don’t use the GPS – Settings > General > Location Services.
Turn it off when you don’t need it – Sleeping? Turn your phone off.
Disable Wi-Fi – Nowhere near a wireless network? Go to Settings and slide Wi-Fi- to off.
Turn off Bluetooth – Settings > General > Bluetooth and slide Bluetooth to Off.
Push off – Settings > Notifications and slide Notifications to Off. Note that this option is only visible if you have relevant apps installed. Apple says this won’t stop the apps receiving data when the app is actually open though, so be careful, unless you’ve disabled data in other ways.
Turn it down – Refrain from employing the speaker for music playback and turn down the volume.
Dim your screen – Turn off auto-brightness and whack the brightness down as low as possible.
Go airplane – If you’ve got very little coverage, you can’t make calls anyway. If you’re going to be in a coverage lowspot for a little while, turn on Airplane Mode.
Did you know – if you are on a jailbroken iPhone, you could possibly increase your battery life by 59051824%??? Just joking . A Macenstein reader Rich shared this screenshot on that website. Something surely went wrong with this users battery indicator.
