[quote=\"jtoh\"]Is the battery life for the iPhone 4 an improvement over the 3GS?

yes, double the usage, or double the battery life

No matter how large the battery is, if you are online all the time (ie. you have push notifications turned on for all your apps and your email), you'd be lucky to last more than half a day. Then again, what's battery life for if you don't use that phone to do all these good stuff? [/quote]okay, I was comparing based on similar usage pattern between Nokia and Iphone......

but anyway, like you said, those good stuff and apps are to be used - battery life is secondary

Just wondering wat happens when we over stretch e battery, overuse e phone, does it make e phone die a sooner death? Battery is irreplaceable right?

For my 3GS, I set all notifications OFF to conserve energy. To check email, I ‘push’ mail.


I’m waiting for end of Oct to recontract. Oh yes, someone also told me to switch off WIFI.

Battery is replaceable, but only through apple. You have to send to their service center in YCK or epi center.

And if you are using OS4, please remember to clear those applications you have used. If not they would be running \"behind\". A quick double click of the round home button, click and hold on one of the applications, you would see the cross X. Delete them one by one.

Thanks....I didn't know I have so many Apps still running \"behind'.

Another tips for good battery practice. Do this once a month - Try to use your iphone till it off by itself (totally flat), then go for a full charge.


Actually I read in some place, the best to charge is when it reach 40%, this is to maintain good battery life. During weekends when I don't go out, I would do that.

Charge when it reaches 40%....first time I heard this, did they explain the logic? Normally people said the good practice is like what you have advised above is to charge when it is totally flat.
