Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage
First:
iCloud sync is a great battery consumer
1** iCloud: turn off mail, safari and reminders. Only keep contacts, notes, photo stream and documents data
2** Use cellular data for iCloud documents and reading list only.
3** Notes to save on iPhone, not on iCloud.
4* Avoid downloading new Apps or updates if not on power. It's better to download all updates on a computer and synchronise to update them.
5* Avoid looking at videos on line if not on power.
6* Games consume a lot
Second: if not enough
7* Brightness to bring on top of the letter "t" of Brightness. Sometimes the brightness goes automatically to 75%, too high. Put it back.
8* In mail, fetch new data, advanced, check that all accounts are fetch manual
Third: Additional Optional tips
9* Wifi ask to join networks off
10* Bluetooth off when no need, turn off WiFi if in an area with no WiFi, avoid Personal Hotspot: great battery consumer.
11* Turn off iPhone manually. Don't wait for iPhone to turn it off.
12* Let the battery exhaust totally until it turns off before to recharge it.
13 Kill The Apps unused from time to time, in case one application uses too much in back ground
14 The Reset All Settings solves nothing. It just creates problems to rekey in everything.

Just a followup:
To summarize:  I upgraded to an iPhone 5 a few days ago and the first thing I did was restore from my iPhone 4 iCloud backup. After that I was experiencing the things some people here complain of: running hot and battery draining quickly.
But I then reset as a new iPhone and synced in all my apps, music, photos, etc. from iTunes and now it is running cool - even after using it continually for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the battery drain is acceptably within specs.
This screen shows
Usage: 4 Hours, 0 Minutes
Standby: 19 Hours, 28 Minutes
Battery at 44%.
That would "multiply out" to
Usage: 7 Hours, 14 Minutes
Standby: over 34 hours
when the battery is fully used up.
I believe that is pretty reasonable and within specs.
I will try an experiment after my next full charge of turning off cellular data though (except when absolutely needed) for comparison.
I'm not saying some people aren't having some power-draining issue due to their carrier. But even without 5 bars standing the issue for me seemed to have been the attempt to restore from my iPhone 4's iCloud backup instead of installing as a new iPhone and syncing.

    Hi,
    I would like to ask you a question.
    a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
    Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
    I need your help!!,
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    VK

    The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
    To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

  • Nullriver netshare and open source tethering solution for iPhone

    While Nullrivers netshare is banned and Apple and AT&T is delaying the tethering plan, how about an opensource tethering solution for iPhone?
    I was thinking to create a google code project to do just that. But I heard that the possibility of tethering itself is bricked in 2.1.
    Does anybody have more information on this?

    I have great interest in tethering. But seems like a black art. Anybody know this art?

  • ITunes account, how to authorise apps for iphone, from an account in which password is not retrievable.

    can someone please help me? 
    my mum got an Iphone 4 a few weeks after they were released. at the time, i had an itunes account of my own, and for a while, that account was used for appliction downloading. i then made her an account a few months ago, and have since been downloading from that. i recently put ios5 on her iphone, which removed all applications. i selected to apply them back on, but because some were downloaded from another account, in which i can not remember the password, and i have tried every previous password i have used, and i have gone through the "forgot password"options, but have never recieved any emails with a reset password code, from apple. i am hoping someone can give me a solution, as my mum is not very impressed with over 25 apps missing, because of this issue. thankyou, in advanced.

    Here is a script that will examine each track in the entire iTunes library--or a selection of tracks--for items purchased from the iTunes Store (audio, video, and books) and then sort them by either the purchaser's name or account ID into discrete playlists, eg: "Tom Ryan Purchases" or "[email protected] Purchases".  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackdownpurchases
    For apps, App Store Expenses gathers all iPhone applications from your iTunes folder on your computer, reads out the price information and presents the total amount of money you've spent on the Apple App Store.  It provides a list selectable by the account that purchased each app.  The app is a free download (donations requested) from:  http://wetfish.de/software/osx/app-store-expense-monitor/
