Feature Request for iphone - how to improve your battery life

I have talked to few Apple support guys and I want to see if others have the same problem I have and support this feature request.
Your iPhone battery can get drained very fast if you are in an area where there is no AT&T Signal. This is not unusual as other phone have same problems. With my other phones such as my old Treo, I simply put it on Airplane mode.
But with the iPhone I can use WAP and I can get great WAP signals during the day.
The problem I noticed is that even if I have good WAP signal, if there is no AT&T signal it drains my battery, sometimes so bad that I could fully discharge in a day where as with same usage in other areas I would have only used about 30% or so...
So I would like to see Apple put in an option to be able to disable AT&T but keep the WAP service enabled, so this is just like Airplane mode with WAP still on.
I have tested by having my iphone running in WAP mode and when not in use I put it in Airplane mode, then try this again with exact usage another day but not put it in Airplane mode when not in use and I can see big difference.
The test was done in my building where there is NO AT&T signal.
Help me AAPL, I am a big investor and have all your products, bought my iPhone on 6/29 after waiting in line for 3.5 hours. You recently added disable Roaming option for Edge, that is a great option, now add this option so we can extend our battery usage!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!

This is a user to user forum, so nobody from Apple is going to see this. You might want to resent it to Apple feedback instead: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using?

Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using? So in 2 hours, 24 minutes usage and 15 hours, 17 minutes in standby mode, the battery became 68%...

sounds plausable
also you can't really 100% trust it's batt% batteries are an analog technology the only thing the iphone can judge how much batt is left is by measuing amp amount the batt is producing and then over time estimating how long before it's zore
but anyway Its not wise to not put a battery for charge before bed when it's 12%
if your reason is you think it's good for batteries to be empty before charging then you believe in a myth and in the process damaging the battery in your ios device

Also you may want to check a few things if you have location service turned on for Weather app, cuz every time you check your notification center, it will always check your location for the current update on the weather. If you are in the same location the entire time, you really don't need that on. Also while you are on the location service setting, check some of the apps that uses location service and if you don't use it, then turn it off while you are in there. Also maybe turn them all off and then turn on one at a time and find the culprit.
If it's not your location service, it could be that one your apps is running in the background. Double click home button, this will bring up the recently used tray, hold one of the app for 3 seconds until the - button comes out, then close all the apps. Or just do a hard reset of your iphone by holding the power button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.
Anything that will require to data connection will use battery. If you have wi-fi at home, then I suggest you keep it on wi-fi because your iphone will last longer if it's on wi-fi then on battery.
If none of the above suggestion worked, then I suggest you try restoring your phone and set it up as new and see what happens. Just make sure you have a separate back up for your contacts.

Hello. I sent a request for iphone unlocking:
Status of your ATT Mobile Device (Phone or Tablet) Unlock request
IMEI Number

Request Date/Time

Current Status
ATT Mobile Device Unlock Approved
But I can't still unlock it. I updated iOs, I restored data, but iphone isn't unlocked. On a site http://iphoneimei.info/ phone statute "locked". What shall I do?

Generally when you receive an email from AT&T about an unlock, it will tell you if the phone has been unlocked and then tell you to wait 24 hours before restoring the device to complete the unlock. I'm not sure where you got this screenshot you shown, but if you received the unlock email, then you need to connect the device to iTunes, restore it as new, not from a backup and you should see the message, Congratulations, you iPhone is unlocked, in iTunes. If you restore and do not see that, then you need to contact AT&T.

Top 10 feature requests for reliability

As per the Terms of Use:
Post constructive comments and questions. Unless otherwise noted, your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer. Feedback about new feature requests or product enhancements are welcome too.
My top 10 list:
1) Require enough extra safe guards that users can't accidentally rename their Home folder.
2) Don't let the Finder become unresponsive and beach-balled when dot-mac mounting is occurring.
3) Faster Finder list view updating when sorted by last modified.
4) OS update scripts should perform a hard disk verify before installation. If hard disk does not verify, the user should be told of the risk of proceeding and given directions on how to fix before proceeding.
5) The filesystem should should be able to fix itself with fsck (ala AppleJack) without being booted from install CD/DVD.
6) iPhoto Library folder should have an extra layer of protection to keep users from messing with it via the Finder.
7) Forced shutdown via power key should give OS and filesystem more of a chance for recovery. (Not sure how this would work, but if users are doing this, it should not be so often fatal.)
8) System maintenance scripts should have a method for running (other than cron) for those who don't leave their computer on 24/7.
9) & 10) coming soon ...
What are your feature requests for improved reliability?

5) The filesystem should should be able to fix itself with fsck (ala AppleJack) without being booted from install CD/DVD.
David Pogue explains why this can't be done in his Mac OS X: The Missing Manual He basically says that running fsck without an operating system disc is much akin to "a doctor performing an appendectomy on himself." While a method of doing this is provided, naturally fsck itself is not analyzed because it can't do that. To run fsck without an operating system disc, boot into single user mode, holding command-S at startup. Type /sbin/fsck -fy
followed by return key,
when done type:
/sbin/mount -uw /
followed by return key and when done with that type
exit. This is documented here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Thankfully single user mode provides more safeguards. But they aren't perfect. Fixing the directory is something that should only be done if your data is backed up, and it is obvious you may have a damaged directory. A damaged directory may have the symptoms of a dying hard drive, and it is impossible to tell the difference.

Nokia 808 Pureview feature request for Phone and C...

Hi,
Where would be the best venue to make feature requests for the 808 functions? These are some nice-to-have ideas that I would like to propose, which would increase its awesomeness:
- in video mode, add a "lock exposure" setting so that the 808 doesn't continuously adjust exposure after recording starts. this would be equivalent to setting the exposure to manual on a regular videocam.
- in photo creative mode, add a voice-activated self-timer, where it would take a shot when sound reaches a certain threshold. this is similar to what the Shout 'n Snap app does for the android.
- in phone calls, add an option to use proximity sensing, so that when you take the phone away from your ear, the handset automatically switches to speaker phone, or vice versa. this would be equivalent to the Phone Speakers Switcher on the N900.
Thanks

i'd like to make an addendum to my request and change it to "lock exposure and white balance".
i just found that while shooting, it does not keep the white balance setting throughout. for example, select "tungsten" and the video will start with this, but later it adjusts as if it was under "auto" white balance setting for the rest of the video.

Take a look at this to make sure your settings are optimized to the best it can be.
If all else fails, try and restore through iTunes, set up as a new iPhone and manually sync your apps and media back to your iPhone.
If still persists after this, you might call Applecare and see if they can run a battery diagnogstics..

Where to send feature request for router?

Hi, does anyone know where to send feature requests for the router firmware? I want to suggest adding http://www.dnsomatic.com to the supported dynamic dns providers, as it would add tons of services with little work.
