Nope. I guess for me and probably for lots of people, it's the idea we've
had engrained in us from using windows that less programs open makes it
easier to switch between applications on the fly. I'm thinking of people
who rely on the Alt+Tab keystroke to move between open programs.
But, I was out today launching and then closing apps using the app switcher
and if anything, all of that moving apps in and out of operation seemed to
drain the battery faster. I had 38 percent battery power when I started my
unintentional experiment and wound up with 22 percent battery power after
about 2 hours of downloading and installing 2 apps as well as doing some
live streaming while simultaneously switching between a combination of
iMove, Talking Goggles, and the iPhone camera.
Part of this was to demonstrate some features of the iPhone to sighted
family members and also to get more familiar with how streaming and app
usage behaved while using the phone completely on the Verizon network.
I turned the screen curtain on and off numerous times and used the triple
click home feature to turn VO on and off to make things easier for the
sighted people using the phone.
Today was unusual in that I normally don't have several apps open at once or
download app after app and then mess around with their settings. I also
don't have sighted folks using my phone so there's no need to adjust the
screen curtain and VO settings.
I noticed that the Wifi setting automatically gets deactivated while the
blue tooth feature does not, this even if my keyboard was here at home while
I was across town. Admittedly, this may have been the cause of the battery
draining so quickly.
I do keep the screen curtain on out of habit just as a privacy precaution.
I've lived around sighted people all of my life, so I've learned to be a bit
proactive when it comes to keeping my net surfing/phone usage as private as
possible.

a battery saver, but effective?None of them actually can save you battery
power. They just monitor power consumption and the apps that your not using
at the time so you can close them and I'm not all that sure that works
either. I've tried deleting apps from the app switcher as somebody said you
have all those apps opened and I never saw that that made any difference
either so these kinds of apps probably won't gain you any extra battery
power. Just because there's an app for that doesn't always mean it's worth
anything in my opinion.

Hi all:
Please I need to ask if anyone find a good battery life saver for I phone?
I found some programs but they didn't do anything.
Any ideas?
