Hi,
I habitually turn Airplane mode on. I have many Apps
that use Location based services and so my battery is
greatly affected if I leave both the phone and Wifi
running. I often fall asleep with a book and iLike2Read
whispering in my ear through the wired earphones. If I
leave, by accident, Airplane mode on, and i have, as I
generally do, Autolock off, I will find my battery dead
by morning, but with flight mode on, I may well have
60/70 percent left. Also, if I am travelling and want to
read my mail, I only turn the wireless connectivity on
from time to time to keep me up to date and check for
missed calls etc. Now, whether this is due to Wifi, phone
or Bluetooth, I don't know, but something that does occur
to me is:
1. Why don't people, such as myself who like to turn this
functionality on and off on a regular basis, just leave
settings open in the App chooser? It is the work of a
seccond to go there and toggle Airplane mode on/off as it
is first in the list of settings?
2. Rather than an extra App with the need to find it, go
into it and so on, how about Apple moving the Bluetooth
settings button to just below the Airplane mode button in
settings? Thus obviating the need to go one layer further
in via General etc`?
I only have the iPhone 4, but wonder, can't you tell
Siri to turn these various functions on and off? So,
would such an app as this new Bluetooth one be of any use
at all to 4s users?
Finally, what might really be a game changer would be
if we could activate the various items on the status bar,
so when you touch Bluetoohth, say, you could choose to
activate/deactivate it from there, same with Flight mode
and phone. Just a thought.
Sandy.
