Battery Saving Tips?

[biscuits99]

Hi,

With maybr 5 calls, 1 film, and an hour of playing games my battery is close to running out.

Are there any tips out there about how to extend life?

The only ones I have seen are:
- Turn off 3G
- Turn off Wi-Fi

Any others?

WiFi doesn't really make a big difference (the values for battery life on Apple's website are actually with WiFi on).

Lowering the screen's brightness can make a big difference though.

Turning off locations services and notifications would probably help the most.

Turning off locations services and notifications would probably help the most.

Also, if you have Push setup in Mail, turn that to a lower interval (lowest possible will be best) if your situation allows for it. This will, too, help.

as suggested I turned off location services and my accu weather would not work so you may want to leave that on or turn it on if you need it.
