Can you leave your iPhone 4 S on charge continually?

We just got the iPhone S.  We were told it would be better service than the mi/fi for our area (and it does). We were told to use it as a hot spot. The only thing this drains the battery so quickly. We now on a plan and can not go back. I really don't want to anyway. I love my apples. However, I do not want to wreck my battery by leaving plugged in all the time. We have a huge family and there is always some want to be on the net. Can any one tell me the best advice for not wrecking my iPhone ' s battery?  Thanks for reading this and any possible help.

You seem to not really know what you have learned. Contradictory statements.
Heat is definately detrimental to lipo batteries.  And these phones can get surprizingly hot.
Yet you suggest always plug them in for long charge instead of small charges where they will not have high, sustained detrimental heat.

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

    Well, you're timing is perfect then   Are you eligible for any upgrade pricing from your service provider?
    I skipped over the iPhone 4s, and I am eligible for full upgrade pricing in almost exactly one month from yesterday, so I will be moving to an iPhone 5 next month.

  • How can you fix your iphone when it is stuck on the apple logo

    My Friend has an iPhone 3G(S) and  he wanted to put music on his iPhone. So he connected it to iTunes and said that the iPhone Had an iOS update. so he did the update and after the update, it got stop on the apple logo and it got an error and the iPhone is not responding and it is stuck on the Apple Logo.

    Alright Hernan there are a couple of steps you could try.
    Your first step has been mentioned twice, that is a "Hard reset". This can be done by holding both the Power/Lock Button (Top left hand corner of the device) and the Home Button (Circular button in the Bottom-Middle of the device) for about 3-5 seconds until the device shuts down, then attempt to start it up again.
    If this fails, you may have to take a rather drastic measure and put the device into "Forced Recovery Mode". This will erase all your data on your iPhone (So I'd hope you won't have to do this unless you backed up recently) and reset it to an empty device.
    To do this, head over to this article on the Apple Support Site and follow the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    It does say for unable to restore or update, but look for the section where it says "Use the following steps to place your device into recovery mode."
    Hope this helps you!

  • Can you use your Iphone as a wifi-hub for Ipad?

    Is it possile to buy the Ipad2 wifi and then use your Iphone Data plan to connect your ipad to 3G network? Therefore using my iphone as a wifi-hub for the Ipad instead of paying for another data plan?

    Absolutely you can do this.  If you have iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and your carrier offers a tethering plan, you can certainly use that to give your iPad a wifi hotspot anywhere you have 3G service.  AT&T offers tethering.  There is additional cost and for anyone who had an ulimited data plan with AT&T, they will have to give up the unlimited option and agree to a capped data plan.  Currently, that option costs $45/month and includes (I believe) 4GB of data/month.

  • How can you reset your iphone

    But i mean completely reseting it earasing everything and starting it with a new itunes account instead of your old one. And I can't sign into my old email adress becuase it was deleted as I didn't use it often. So I can't sign into the old email which my iphone is subscribe through.

    Hi,
    You can change the iTunes Store account by signing-in on your Mac and then syncing the iPhone, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    You can restore the iPhone and set it up as a new phone, which would have you setup the iPhone as if it were new out of the box. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.
    You can also completely remove all traces of your data from the iPhone by Erasing all content and settings, as described on page 109 of the iPhone User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
