Hello everyone,
I have a few questions here. I am hoping someone can give me some thoughts, or advice. First of all, my phone is up to date. I have the 5S. I can upgrade by February, but I don't know if I will. I am paying for this phone monthly. Anyway, I have been noticing that sometimes my batter runs down faster. I am on my phone quite a lot some days, more than other days. Not always making calls, but checking out Facebook, and maybe commenting on posts, or making posts. Checking my email, or maybe writing some emails. Playing Farkle. Maybe reading a news story, and definitely texting! That's certainly the biggest thing. I do this all over WIFI. Every once in a while, I may play a video of some sort. But I use my Ipad for most of this. I don't know what causes more battery useage than other things. I am getting better at closing Apps if I am not using them. My biggest problem, is that I don't let my phone die, or completely run down, before charging it. I have heard this can be a bad thing. I will usually let it get to 40 percent, and then charge it. Sometimes 20 percent, if I am still wanting to finish up something quickly. So, are there things I could possibly change, to help save battery life? How low should my battery life really get, before charging my phone? I do not care for the low power mode. So I choose not to use it. Also, are there affordable battery packs, or anything like that, still available for the 5S? Now to my next question, and something that is concerning me more. About 3 times so far, in the last week, I have found that my phone gets pretty warm. I don't know why this is happening, or what could be causing it. Once it happened when my phone was laying on my bed. I don't always keep it on my bed. Just sometimes. Another time it happened when I was sitting in my rocker-recliner. The phone always ends up sliding down, between the arm of the chair, and the seat. It's never been an issue before. It has also happened while sitting on my desk. I do not keep it near my laptop. I am very caucious regarding this. Is this possibly a bad sign? Should I be concerned? What can I do about it, if anything. The phone does have a plastic cover over it, but it only covers the back of the phone. My phone doesn't get dropped, or anything like that. Any thoughts, or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
