RE: Battery savings
What is the sense in having a powerful smart phone if you turn every feature off? -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Howell Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 11:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Battery savings You know I just do not see any point in going through all of this.

Wifi only [was Re: Battery savings]
I have a question similar to Reggie's. I'll be traveling to Europe in a month,and I'd like to take my phone and use it on wifi, but I don't want to incur any phone charges. How exactly do I turn off the cellular connection while keeping wifi alive? I noticed I can turn on air plane mode and then selectively turn on my wifi. In this way, it looks like the cellular phone service is still turned off. Is this the way to do this? BTW, I don't think temporarily turning off a feature of a smart phone is undermining the power of a smart phone. I can also see where someone might be in a situation where they'd like to extend the battery somewhat without having to borrow some AC or make sure they have a battery backup on their person.

RE: Wifi only [was Re: Battery savings]
Hi Christopher, Yes, you can safely turn on Airplane Mode and then turn WiFi back on. This will, however, also disable Bluetooth, but I believe just as you can turn WiFi back on you can also turn Bluetooth back on. Alternatively, go to Settings, General, Cellular Data and make sure Data Roaming is off. This will not allow data usage if you are roaming. If you don't trust this then just turn off cellular data completely and any data is restricted to WiFi only. There is no longer an option to turn of 3G separately in iOS 6, at least not on my 4S and turning off cellular data may still put phone calls through if you are on a GSM network in Europe. However, unless you answer the call this wouldn't matter.

RE: Battery savings
That or you could just buy an external battery. I think I bought mine for less than $10.00. Charge that bad boy up and slap the phone in the case and podcast, stream and talk to your heart's content. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Howell Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 11:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Battery savings You know I just do not see any point in going through all of this.
