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

Okay, thanks for the confirmation. The company told me when it first came out that it was not currently accessible, but that they'd be working on that. I have emailed them to ask about the progress and to remind them, and will share anything I hear with the list. My sister, who can see well

Hi Joseph, Thanks for letting us know about this calculator and for describing the layout so clearly. This could be very handy when I need to add minutes and secondes. It really is well labeled. I recommend it for anyone who needs a fraction calculator. Best, Anna On May 13, 2014, at 1:01

Yes, I totally agree. I tried about 5 different iOS fraction calculators before coming across this little gem. In fact, I wanted a fractions calculator so badly that I went looking for one for my Windows computer and could not find one--best I could do was Excel but it reduced the fractions as

How essential is Wi-Fi one location accuracy? 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? Thanks, Ari On May

Hi Christina, Whether a dialogue comes up or not depends on the autoplay settings on your PC. In any case, as far as pictures are concerned, an iPhone is just like a USB stick or USB drive and is accessible via a drive letter or Windows Explorer. All you have to do is connect your phone and then

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,
