Battery Life of iPhone 3G after Installing OS 3.0

After installing OS 3.0 on iPhone 3G’s battery runs out around 20% faster than it used to be. I used to be able to use my mobile for 2-3 days before recharging it. Now I have to charge it every single day.

I have iPhone 3G Push Notification turned on all the time. It seems to be the cause of the battery runs out so quickly. Apple introduces this Push Notification to prevent applications running as background process. The thought was by stopping application running on background, they would be able to conserve battery life and preserve performance of the iPhone devices.

Well, that’s not seems to be the case, the battery runs out lots quicker with Push Notification turned on. Currently, I have two Push Notification Applications that I use often are HeyWay and Trapster.

Check this out on Best Free iPhone 3G Applications 

So, if you wandering why Battery Life of iPhone 3G after Installing OS 3.0 seems to run out quicker, well, yes it is.

UPDATE: I turned of Location Service under General Settings, it seems to help a bit. Battery life can now last for 1.5 day at least.

  • How do you get 2 to 3 days of charge from your phone. I get 1 day and if I run an app it will zap my battery down to lasting only hours.

  • Nice story as for me. It would be great to read something more concerning that matter. The only thing that blog needs is a few photos of some devices.

  • bought a pocket size cell phone jammer
    and a medium power cell phone jammer. They are very good, and help me to bolck the annoying phone calls in the Lib, Lab, meeting room, and hospital. But there is a problem, someone told me it is illegal in most countries, could you tell me the reason? Why i can not use the cell phone jammer? I think it will be very helpful for me.
