i bought a LG phone for RM 150 for standing by whenever my iphone battery drain out. you may even get RM 99 CSL Dual Sim Card Phone as stand by . I think its still cheaper to get an extra phone than buying the expensive battery and the problem is getting the sim card out from iphone when u need to change it immediately. need to carry the pin in the wallet.


Added on May 21, 2010, 9:39 am1)i just like to know if charging the phone to 100 percent everytime and continuously the next couple of hours without unplugging away the charging device will do more harm than quickly unplug it the moment it reach 100 percent.

2) Is it alright to use the phone until the battery dies everyday or drain out totally or better switch it off at 20 percent everytime for emergency usage only?

alamak, i always leave my iphone to charge up to 100 percent until the next morning . is this consider a full cycle?

u mean i have to quickly unplug from the charger once it reach 80 percent or 90 percent?

i solve my iphone battery problem by buying a RM 150 LG phone . i feel the iphone charger is too expensive for now so when the battery gone out, i use my secondary phone and last till the next day for my iphone to charge.

Would you get the external battery for RM 150 which is the same as bringing another phone to me. Mean while those RM 300 Case Charger is so bulky and really too expensive for just buying that. There's a RM 99 CSL Phone with dual sim card some more where u can put extra prepaid sim card for standing by also.

What a great solution.

no, full cycle only happen if u charge from less than 20% to 100%, if u chrage from 60% then it will likely count as a half cycle...

just for info, it's good to charge from less than 20%, but not always neccessary to do that,

but it's BAD things if u charge not till the battery full...

so make sure u always charge ur battery till it show 100%

u can charge when it still in 30, 40 or even 70, but just make sure it reach 100% in the end of charging.  smile.gif

when charge up to 100 percent, will the battery stop automatically from charging over capacity that will deteriorate the phone battery in long run?

if u use CSL phone with dual sim, u can just buy extra card if u think u want a more personal call in the evening .

the pin is easy, just get the stapler bullets and u just have to bend the thing straight or paper clip and woila , u got an iphone pin in the wallet. i don't find it difficult to do such thing and only once in a while that my day phone suck up the battery. on normal pleasant day, i still use it till the evening.

by the way, with all the hints to save battery life provided, i think i am now able to use my iphone for full day.

1) Shut off bluetooth,
2)lower the brightness to min
3) no wifi on
4)no 3G on
5) even shut off Push notification
6) buy Doctor Battery...

Wow, i save about RM 170 in the end for not buying Morphie Case with charger. If u get CSL RM 99 phone , imagine u save RM 200 ++ already.i almost bought that casing. Wait for price to lower and let their demand lower first .

Of course, other way is to buy the extra car charger but sometimes u tend to forget to charge or not mobilize while the Iphone needs battery already.
