RE: Battery life tip
The more your screen is locked the less battery your phone uses. When the screen is locked it's black and does not react to being touched and also the LED backlighting is off and it is one of the things which uses up a fair amount of battery. It is in fact a good idea to turn brightness to 0% if you are not using any remaining vision or if you don't often share your iPhone with a sighted person. Screen brightness is also adjusted in the Control Centre, touch the status bar like the time and then swipe up with 3 fingers. Here you can turn on/off Airplane Mode, WiFi, Bluetooth, Lock the Orientation and change the brightness. There are also shortcuts along the bottom of the screen for the Clock, Calculator etc. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 12:04 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Battery life tip Thanks for that, I will give that a go. Are there any other general battery life conservation tips that anyone has for example, my IPhone 5s says screen dimmed after a while and then screen locked when not in use. Does the screen actually go blank or is there a screen saver that you could disable? -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joseph FreeTech Sent: 12 May 2014 14:44 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Battery life tip Hi all, I thought I would pass on a little tip for those using an iPod touch and or an iPhone. Since purchasing my iPod 5th gen about 1.5 years ago, I've always had WiFi running at all times. At most I would get about 1.5 days battery life. I was learning how to use the device so wanted access to Siri and other online access to iTunes store and such, which explains why battery died so quickly. Now having long learned how to use my iOS device, I thought I would run it with WiFi disabled and only turned on when I needed it. I discovered that with WiFi disabled I could get 6 days of battery life. This means of course that WiFi is a major battery hog. Smile. At one point when battery life was at 100%, over 24 hours later I was still at 100%. Quite frankly, I'm amazed my iOS device can do this since I had never considered running it without WiFi. My point is that if one is finished learning how to use their iOS device, and if one doesn't need to use email and other information constantly pushed to your iOS device, maybe turning off WiFi will also extend the battery on your device. I of course am aware of personal preference and iOS lifestyle preferences, but since the bulk of iOS apps don't need an internet connection to run, disabling wifi could remove the constant hassle of charging out of your life. Smile. Just thought I would pass on this little tip. Joseph -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Joseph, Greytip. To add to what you said, you can turn Wi-Fi on and off using Siri. This makes it really easy, as you don't need to go into settings to toggle Wi-Fi on and off.

Re: Battery life tip
Hi Les, Actually, if you do decide that WiFi enabled is not essential every minute of the day on your iOS 7.X device, when you turn off WiFi using Siri, you will have to manually turn it back on. You can do this by placing your finger on any status bar item such as the time then execute a 3-finger flick up to open the control center. You can now swipe once or twice to the WiFi setting and double-tap to turn it on once again. Sounds like lots of steps, but it actually isn't and can be done in about 2 seconds. Smile.

Re: Battery life tip

RE: Battery life tip
Hi Les, Yes, on an iPhone where you have a 3G or LTE data connection you can turn WiFi off and on with SIRI. However, Joseph was talking about his fifth generation iPod Touch and since the iPod Touch can only have a data connection via WiFi, SIRI will not work if WiFi is off and if SIRI does not work you can't use it to turn on features. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Les Kriegler Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 7:51 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Battery life tip Joseph, when I asked Siri to turn on Wi-Fi, I got a message it was turned back on.

Re: Battery life tip
The largest battery hog, by far, is GPS. The second largest battery hog is using the phone as a phone. The third largest battery hog is probably screen brightness sat hi. The fourth largest battery hog is probably Wi-Fi. However, this is only the case when Wi-Fi is actively maintaining a connection. If 3G, for G, or LTE is the connection instead, that becomes the similar large battery drain. Active Bluetooth is probably fifth. In active Bluetooth that is turned on drains 1% to 3% per hour, so is a minimal battery drain.

Re: Battery life tip
More data points means increased accuracy. Since many wifi routers are associated with specific addresses, this can significantly improve accuracy. Remember, GPS by itself has an average accuracy of 30 metres, approximately 100 feet. On a nice, clear day, with a perfect view of the equator sky, and nothing blocking or delaying some of the signals, the accuracy can achieve an optimum of 3 metres, or approximately 10 feet. Under most good conditions, figure accuracy at approximately 10 metres, or around 33 feet. In addition to the GPS receiver, iPhone also uses the mobile signal for tower-based triangulation, though this does not improve accuracy by very much normally. Also, when WIFI is merely being used in reception mode, it does not drain the battery near as much as when in transmission / reception mode. GPS, on the other hand, will drain the battery between 15% and 30% per hour, depending on how much power needs to be used to receive the faint GPS signals.

Whenever I turn it off, it always says that it would be better to have it on for things like GPS and stuff. Has anybody tried using something like Google maps with Wi-Fi enabled, and without it enabled? Was there a difference?

However, Joseph was talking about his fifth generation iPod Touch and since the iPod Touch can only have a data connection via WiFi, SIRI will not work if WiFi is off and if SIRI does not work you can't use it to turn on features. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Les Kriegler Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 7:51 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Battery life tip Joseph, when I asked Siri to turn on Wi-Fi, I got a message it was turned back on. So I'll need to do some checking on this. In any event, your recommendation is also a good one because it's not that difficult to do. Thanks.

You can do this by placing your finger on any status bar item such as the time then execute a 3-finger flick up to open the control center. You can now swipe once or twice to the WiFi setting and double-tap to turn it on once again. Sounds like lots of steps, but it actually isn't and can be done in about 2 seconds. Smile.
