there is USB data cable with switch in the market selling very cheap PM me ..

it can choose either to charge and sync OR to sync only. to prevent continuous charging

just want to check here.. if we use a cheap data cable for charging, it shouldnt be any problem with the battery or iphone performance right.. it is just a cable.. am i correct? or maybe not..if due to material of the conductor of the cable???

shouldnt be any problem..all my previous phone oso using 3rd party cable..no problem wat..

great.. need to find spare cable for office..hehe.. thanks.

new iphone or ipod touch need to charge over 8 hours??

It does no harm to do that.

Let say my battery life is almost gone - 1 hr max. Anyone know where can I change the battery at Low Yat and how much is it?

I don't trust the folks at Low Yat especially when it comes to iPhone. Suggest you look up Hanxz at GS here. He should be able to help you.

if you choose to get iphones in lowyat....it is a very bad choice then

Hi guys
just wan to share this apps
i recommended Battery Doctor Pro

Battery Doctor Pro can help do Full Cycle Charge quickly


What is"Full Cycle Charge"?


For proper maintenance of a lithium-based batter,its important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally.Be sure to go through at least one full cycle charge per month(charging the battery from less than 20% to full)



Tips for Battery


Stay away from heat

Paying attention to just a few commonsense pointers will pay off with a longer batter lifespan and battery life for your iphone/ipod.
The most important thing is to keep your iPhone out of the sun or a hot car(including the glove box).Heat will degrade your battery's performance the most



Update to the latest OS

Always make sure your iPhone/iPod has the latest OS from Apple.as engineers may find new ways to optimize batter performance.
For example,OS 3.1.2 has better battery life than previous one.


Optimize setting-Iphone

Depending on how they are configured,a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life.For example,the frequency with which you retrieve email and the number of email account you auto-check can both affect battery life.

The tips below apply to an iPhone running iPhone 3.0 or later software and may help extend your battery life.

Minimize use of location services
Turn off push notifications
Fetch new data less frequently
Turn off push mail
Auto-check fewer email accounts
Minimize use of third-party applications
Turn off Wi-Fi
Turn off Bluetooth
Use Airplane Mode in low-Or no Coverage areas
Adjust brightness
Turn off EQ
Turn off 3G

Let it breathe

Charging your iPhone/iPod while in certain carrying cases may generate excess heat,which can affect battery capacity

If you notice that your iPhone/iPod gets hot when you charge it,take it out of its case first.

hi
erm just to let u allknow
ibought those portable iphone charger...those u can get in the forum..rm 45-80 kinda portable ones where u can use it to charge ur iphone when ur phones batt is low

using tat kinda portable battery charger..knocked my phone dead.
the worst part is.. bcos i was totally caught off guard..i don even know if apple/maxis will give me a new phone or not cos its jb!!

cant even restore?

didn't u go for restore?

sorry to have kinda interrupted...

I wonder if anyone has experienced of replacing battery from Apple service center or whichever official servicing party?

It kind of puts me in trauma to charge my iPhone.... after gaming, surfing, facebook...(that's the best point of owning iPhone right?) It is said that the battery lifespan is for like... 400 times correct? ..... it's counting in my head everytime I'm charging...haha....

I'm not worried about the price to pay for replacing a battery.... but to get my iPhone>Maxis>Apple..... is going to take 4 - 6 weeks as mentioned by Maxis.... it's killing....

so I wonder if the battery would really deteriorate after that amount of charge cycle? 1 charge each day..... sometimes if extreme.... 2 charges a day..... it leaves my iPhone battery to stay up good in one year.... or less??

when the time ur battery life span is up...mean its the perfect time to purchase iphone 4G

iPhone 4g... Yea... Never thought of it... Haha... Just hope it's somehow affordable... But might need to switch carrier then... Maxis after sales service is not too promising...

Those external batteries that bad? Caused damaged to iPhone hardware... Hmmm... 3rd party products... Can't expect much... Just recently bought one... Scary >_<

myself using the battery so far no problem ..sell a lot over 20pc..
those that built for iphone 2g cant be use for 3g 3gs..
so need to be carefull when u purchase...

Ooo... Is it? So there are different batteries for 2g and 3g/3gs... Gosh... Glad to hear that... Relief

yup..most of the time its just show charging device not supported .
in some rare case that nikita encounter it will spoil the iphone.
so supplier did separate out the charger for 2g and 3g/3gs. they didnt mention it will spoil the phone but i heard from another supplier , their iphone dead after tested on the 2g charger ...
