QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 11 2013, 04:42 PM) around 2-3 hours talk, wifi 2 hours, 2hours gaming, 2-3 hours video. (Some onboard some homesharing via wifi) 3g normally 40mins - 1hour a day .. on Waze. to and fro from work i find doing the 8 hours trickle charge seriously helps. Hence i've been obediently charging from 11am to 7am everyday. wont remove it from socket at all. WIll try out ur suggestion, thx !

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 11 2013, 08:43 PM) another thing ppl i am using a wallet case. not blocking the sides at all. After all the scandals on the alu casings thats been going around. seems only ori elements case has taken it to account. waiting for my elements soft-tec wallet case. So bro you mean our casing will affect our phone battery life ?  Im on MUSUBO casing and wonder if it affect the 3G signal so that indirectly it has an impact on the battery life as well @.@ My iphone if on Wifi, can tahan very long time, but once enable 3G, battery drain like tap water, about 3 min per 1% drop

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 11 2013, 09:02 PM) something aint right. I can use waze driving in the morning/afternoon ( so the screen brightness goes up almost full) with 3g, location services and sometimes bluetooth some ALACs to my car for 30 minutes drive to work drops only around 8-10 percent. Thats y i think apple was right cause if i lessen the brigtness can lessen the drain to around 6 percent for a 30 minute 3g. the 3g. Did u choose manual network rather than auto?? casings do affect. hence y u see elements casing the top is open. Stay away from all those bumper alu especially. Wa .... if like that means something is TOTALLY NOT RIGHT here at my side == May i know you are on latest iOS 6.1.2 ? How long is your iphone 5? Yea my carrier is set to Manual because if i dont, there will be a hard time for me to get back 3G from GPRS @.@ Your 6% for 30 mins of 3g is a lot !!! mine 30 mins will used up 1o% above

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 11 2013, 09:09 PM) its the same i had ori 16gb two sets at the launch date ( sold one gave another to couz) and now two 64gb (restore from previous) about one is 1 month old and the other around 2 weeks. yup need the manual thing. when cannot get on the data and 3g. enable airplane mode. Wait for the dismiss thingy. and then disable airplane mode. 100% get back 3g. whats ure brigtness set at. ah i dont use screen protector btw. My iPhone is just 1 month old now. Maxis set  i set my brightness at auto.  Frankly speaking, i never tried to really fully on 3G for whole day, though i will assume it to have very little difference as i only close my 3G for about half and hour for the whole day only. Bro, mind to post here the screenshot of your usage time ? This post has been edited by christcwl9: Mar 11 2013, 09:14 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 11 2013, 09:17 PM) its charging atm. so 100%. was doing my weekly backup/restore.will post on monday/tuesday etc. weekend phone hardly use lol..other than answer calls. weekend is ipad all the way. did u do the 8 hours trickle charge when u just got ure phone?? ok brightness. limit the max auto brightness. i limit my just at 60%. and the min at 10%. depends i guess since more of a like bright area kind a guy so this suits me. guess those vampires will be min 0 and max maybe 40%. I didnt charge for 8 hours at my first charge  So any more ways to improve my battery life ? BTW, 1 question even though i know it is too early to ask, where can i change my iPhone battery or iPad battery? How much ? Is it i can get it in an hour ?

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 12 2013, 08:40 AM) Wife phone. She uses the phone atleast 3hours a day on phone calls. 3g on 24/7 for whatsapp/facebook. Wifi at home for watching pps. This pic was from her phone before she left to work at 9am.  i5 not so easy to remove afaik. The pcb is latched to the back casing. So not sure. Check with ifixit http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts/iPhone-...ttery/IF118-001Recommended get from them n do it ureself rather tgan trusting a malaysian sourcea on li-on quality Wow! I wish i can get similar result from my iphone  BTW, i guess when the time my battery die, i think i will just pass by a service center and have them change it for me. Do you think the battery can last 2 years?

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Mar 12 2013, 11:03 AM) Ipad 3 took arnd 150 cycles per year. Iphone shld be higher. My usage looks like full cycle in 2 days so 365/2. 183 cycles per year. So adding error rate etc make it 200. Life cycle is 500. So yup should last 2.5 years of continous use. I suspect its ure notification, n brightness setting. A friend of mine told me 3g bars effect the bat also. Higher signal good coverage area with less density batter strain less. Not sure there is any merit to this. Yea, i work in ground floor and the 3G bar is only 2 or max 3 out of 5 @.@ BTW, i just read in a website and they recommend an app called CARAT https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carat/id504771500?mt=8 Will try it out and give feedback here to you all  BTW, how can you calculate charge cycle? if i charge my iphone around 30% is it 1 cycle or is it 0.7 cycle?

QUOTE(tararan @ Mar 13 2013, 12:29 PM) thanks for the sharing... good apps which allow u to track the drain apps too  I got 13% Battery Wear 387 charge cycle. Consider good for Iphone 4? I did turn off icloud which cause lesser drain. APple says a good battery maintenance should be able to preserver up to 80% of your battery life after 400 charge cycles. QUOTE(INGfusion @ Mar 13 2013, 12:29 PM) I think this is totally 6.1.2 problem la !!! On 3G all the way for 2hours plus . Left 57% Yea, i myself also feeling iOS 6 is very buggy @.@ It makes my iPad 3 lag

QUOTE(INGfusion @ Mar 13 2013, 07:01 PM) Connected to wifi our phone can last more longer la Yea bro i know that, but the fact is i feel like connecting to 3G is vital as i wont go to places where wifi are abundance as well as i dont like to share wifi with others  Well let's see what 6.1.3 will do on the 3G issues as well as battery @.@ BTW, did any1 of you experience 3G lost during a phone call ? or Edge lost during a phone call? I mean when you call anyone, if you notice, you will see there is no any 3G, GPRS or Edge beside your carrier.
