App Idea - Battery

I'm not an app developer, but I thought this might be a good idea for an app:
As you all know by now, there are a lot of phone settings on the 3G than can drain the battery life quickly. Some of these settings (Wi-Fi, Fetch New Data & Brightness) are accessible directly from the main screen in the Settings app. Others (Network, Bluetooth & Location Services) require going through sub-menus to access.
I may be alone on this (call me lazy), but since I constantly find myself having to turn these things on/off depending on what I'm trying to do, I think it would speed things up a little if there was an app that let you adjust ALL of these settings from the main screen of that app. There may be other things I'm not thinking of that could help with battery life that could also be included. Call the app "BatterUp" or something like that.
Anyway, all you programmers out there could stand to make a few bucks if you created something like this. I've seen far more useless apps out there that people buy. At least this app would make it easier to fight one of the biggest problems facing the new 3G.
Again, am I totally off base here, or does anyone else think this would make a convenient app?

What a great idea!
But the SDK won't allow developers to touch any of the Apple aps or settings. So only Apple can develop something like this.

    Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    There is no way to close all apps at once. When you leave an app , most apps stop working immediately. A few apps will continue to complete the task they were working on. Mail is an example of that. There is a short time limit though after which the app stops running and the state you left it in is stored. Quitting apps does not increase battery life.

  • Why doesn't  System Information.App provide battery serial?

    Why doesn't  System Information.App provide battery serial? Even /usr/sbin/system_profiler -detailLevel full doesn't show the battery serial.
    When I open System Information.App I get this output. Serial number ist not even displayed:

    I did now try some system tools. They don't show the battery serial, too. I think, they rely on the system profiler's informations and therefore get no data.
    When was this feature removed from OS X? According to posts on the internet the battery serial was show up to 10.6 but I never read about the App showing it on 10.7. What about 10.8 users? Do you see the battery serial?

    A few people that post here have said they are having trouble with there battery life. As for the apps crashing, have you reset you iPad , it may help. 

  • I have an app idea project going on but I have no access to itunes connect so I can send my idea to the app developers and see what their opinion is about it.Do you know any other ways that can help me promote my idea so it can be further developed?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

    Apple will NOT accept unsolicited ideas.
    You can contact an app maker if your like.

  • Great App Idea.!

    Hey, I had an amazing app idea. Some Developer could make millions off of this.
    My Idea Goes something like this.
    There are tons of Xbox, Wii, PS3 gamers out there that want to record their stuff. If you are familiar with most capture cards, they just take a split of the Yellow RCA cable. There is a headphone jack on the iPod touch. A headphone jack can take an RCA cable if the right adapter is added. So someone should make an app that records whatever is taken in from the headphones jack, i'm sure someone could throw something together. Any thoughts on if this could work?

    Try to post your idea here to get more feedback: http://developer.apple.com/devforums/

  • App Idea....how to pursue

    I have an idea for an App....so who do I talk to to see it get developed?

    Did you find an answer to your question regarding how to pursue your idea? I have an idea as well but I don't have the IT skills to know were to begin. Of course, I bet everyone and their dog has an app idea these days. If you know any helpful tips on where to begin, I'd love to hear.
    Thanks!

  • App idea for developers

    This isn't a question but more of an app idea to help developers. From what I gather when perusing both the Mac App Store and the iOS App Store is that a lot of developers don't speak or write very good english. And it probably has somewhat of an effect on their sales. So someone should create an app specifically geared towards developers or anyone marketing their product someplace where the primary language is something other than their own native tongue. You would think google translate would have this covered and maybe it does but so many of the app descriptions I read are full of all kinds of errors that detract from the overall presentation of what is probably a very capable product.

    My guess would be that is because they have used Google Translate instead of hiring a human translator.  It's not realistic to think that machine translation can yet substitute for the latter.

  • Certain apps use battery when not running

    I had noticed on my 3G, and potentially on my 4, that after installing certain apps, the battery goes down much quicker, without using the apps, or even the phone.
    I realise that certain apps do, by the nature of what they do, use more juice, but felt that even when they are not even used?
    2 apps that def sucked the life out of my phone, so i uninstalled where:
    the trainline app
    and
    Nextbuses app
    both in the UK. Can't explain why.
    Any one else found this? It's a shame since NExtbuses was really handy.

    Yes, When you turn on bluetooth you fire up another radio. That radio periodically searches for things to connect to. If you turn it off, your battery will last longer. Not sure if you'll notice the difference. I had a Motorola phone which could go an extra full day or two with Bluetooth off.
    If you use bluetooth, as I do, to automatically connect to your car when you get in, shutting it off is not a convenient option. If you rarely use it, then shut it off when not in use.

  • IBook App Draining Battery on iPad

    Has anyone had the problem of their battery going low fast, when reading books on the iPad with this app or any e-reader app. It seems that my goes down at least 5-10% within the hour of reading. My iPad is the 64GB w/3G and I all ways make sure that the Wi-Fi and 3G are off when reading and the funny thing is that then battery life hardly changes when I'm watching a 2 hour movie!

    I have this same issue - I was reading in iBooks on my lunch break and then left the app running in the background. I had my phone in my pocket and could feel it was heating up much more than usual and when I checked it around four p.m. (it was fully charged that same morning), the battery was down to 6% (Edit: usually around that time my battery would be down to about 60-70%). No other apps were running and as soon as I shut down the app the battery was going at a regular pace again and starting to cool down.
    It's understandable that when open it would use up the battery, what with having the screen on all the time and turning the pages, but I find it odd that it's such a power guzzler even when in the background. Now I'll know to turn it off when I'm done reading, but it's still definitely something that's not working optimally.

  • Two Apps ideas

    Okay, programmers, here're the ideas:
    1) Some application that will access an iPhoto album and change the desktop wallpaper randomly (at intervals the user chooses).
    2) It amazes me that Apple organizes your ringtones in iTunes and yet there is no Ringtone pane in the iPhone's iPod program. I mean, I have (and made) a ton of ringtones and if I wanna play them for someone, I have to go into contacts, choose a person and change their ringtones to play them. C'mon! There should be a Ringtone Manager app!! Duh!
    Alright, developers... develop!!

    Hey MovieKid, Great idea, I've also got a few app ideas that I would be willing to pay for. Hopefully we can get a good list going that may attact the attention of Apple / a few developers :
    1) To do / Task syncing with Outlook
    2) GPS waypoint exporting for use with GIS systems (proper GPS functionality)
    3) Auto profiles such as available for Windows Mobile 05/06 so that the iPhone turns to silent automatically if a meeting is in your calendar...no need to remember to silence your phone in meetings or appointments.
    4) Backgammon
    Anyone got any more?...please post
