Looking for a power usage app..

Seems like I have done everything I know of or could find in fourms to reduce the apps that are using up power on my iPhone 3GS.
Does anyone know of an APP that will tell me what APPS or services are using up power?
Thanks...

Hi Charlie,
Many misunderstand how multitasking actually works on iOS. Although you will see apps on your Multitasking tray (when you double press the home button), those are not actually running as they are in a "suspended/saved" state. Be advised that once an app is in this state, it uses virtually no battery power.
Here's an [extremely good rundown by another user of how Mutlitasking works|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12719950#12719950].
Perhaps you have worn down the battery in your phone. Battery capacity eventually degrades, but you can slow or reduce the process by following [some basic care steps|http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html].
To answer your question directly, there is no such app that will provide you with information on the power usage of another app as it would really all be zero. There are some services, such as location services, that can reduce your battery if turned on and being actively used though.

  • Looking for a Wi-fi app

    I'm looking for a Wi-fi app that will display all of the devices currently connected to a wireless network ( my personal network, by the way ). I want to use it to see if there is any unauthorized usage that is killing my bandwidth and also for general troubleshooting.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I am looking for a word processing app

    I am looking for a word processing app that I can use for sending .doc and .docx format papers via email or uploading them to websites directly from my ipad 2 without having to export them to or sync them with my actual computer.  Does the Pages app allow users to do this?  I need to make a purchase of such an app soon.  If this app is incapable of these actions, can anyone suggest an app or design an app for me that does them?

    Pages can export documents in MS Word format. When I last did this (with Pages '09, the Mac version), the result was a .doc file.
    Note that this is a translation, and like most translations, it's not always a perfect one. Some features of Pages are not supported in MS Word, and some Word features are not supported in Pages.
    For a more precise answer wrt Pages for iOS, you should repost your question in the iWork For iOS community. The link will take you there.

  • Looking for a voice memo app with folders

    Looking for a voice memo app with folders
    I'm trying to find a simple voice memos app that allows me to save the voice memos in folders right on the phone, and have them backed up to my desktop when I sync. I used to use Recorder Pro by Bear-Software but it doesn't work properly anymore. It was great when it worked. Why do so many of the voice memo apps just keep your voice memos in one huge long unorganized list? I need to be able to create 10 or 15 folders within the app, and save each voice memo to a specific folder. Any voice memo apps come to mind?

    received this repsposne from the folks at Imesart:
    Dear Andrew,
    No app on iOS will let you add files to the music library. The only way to do this is to use iTunes on a computer.

  • Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

    Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

        That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
    If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

    Good afternoon,  my name is mike Perreault , on 9-28-13 I looked for a free music app., I don't know what happen but my credit card was charged $20.20, please tell me why and credit my acc. Because I didn't purchase anything from iTunes .

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
    As to your issue, first, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If you find that this was an in-app purchase, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
    If the charge was not an in-app purchase that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.
    Regards.

  • Im looking for a good note app with pen for taking notes ( in english and german )during business trips. Can anyone help

    I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?

    Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
    It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
    Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.
    Regards.

  • Looking for a weather alarm app

    Hi all. I am looking for a voice alarm app that tells me what the weather is currently and what the forecast is for the day when the alarm time comes around.
    The closest I have found is "morning report" but it does not give the forecast.

    Because of the way iOS works, any alarm app other than the built in one will have to be running in the foreground to do what you want. Though I am extremely fond of the WaveAlarm display (it's currently my alarm app of choice) and the developer is extremely responsive, Alarmed might better suit your needs. It has both wake up and sleep options. So, you could set your podcast playlist to go to sleep by and then an alarm to wake you up in the same app. That way, keeping it in the foreground shouldn't be as much of a problem. The UI isn't nearly as slick as Wave Alarm but it's a great, feature packed program.

  • Looking for a Power Supply

    Hi!
    I am looking for a power supply for my sound blaster speakers.
    The model is SBS 380. The power supply works on a 4.0 volt.
    Anyone who would have a spare one to sell or to inform me where
    to buy one would be most appreciated. ( I'm in Canada )
    I have be been to several stores but no ones carries 4 volts power supply.
    The one I have is no lomger functional and the sound is excellent from those speakers.
    BTW, Craetive no longer support them and have none in stock.
    Thanks,
    Gerry

     Jason, I think he would have some trouble getting them shipped to Australia from one of those stores. Beside that it would be less from newegg, look at the additional 20% off promo and free shipping. For me it's 3 days from order to delivery from ZZf and newegg.
     Yes, one of the Corsairs but not HX but as mentioned TX or VX, also PC P&C 610. Ignore watts, go by +12V amps and as FP mentioned consider future need for more power when choosing. Nowdays the VX450W (+12V~33A) would be considered minimum to get and also would be considered weak for many current systems.

    I am using Iphone 3G and running with ios version 4.2.1 .I am looking for to run whatsup apps.Can you guide me which IOS version should i download wherein,it will support whatsup apps

    with an iphone 3G the most up to date ios is 4.2.1 so you have a problem because whatsapp requires a higher version.  If you saved an earlier version of whatsapp you could install that otherwise you cannot use the app.  You will need to get a more up to date phone

    While looking for info on this app (because I've never seen it before) I ran across your plea for this app back in April of this year. I'm looking at it right now in my installation of OS 9 in SheepShaver. If you still want it I can archive it and send it your way.
