iPhone 3G[s] - Page 47

iLike my iPhone

Only negative is that it loses charge faster then I lose money playing online poker :/

Have installed lots of things and particularly like; Blowfish, ECB Cricket, HoldEm (because Feek is one of the characters!), Google Earth, iMapMyWalk, National Rail, Paper Toss, Flight Control and Topple 2.

The GPS is good and will be even better when Tom Tom comes out until then I'm keeping my other handset in the car

PAC will go through later this week although maybe not in time for Latitude, will probably take both handsets anyway though as there is a charging facility in our locker that we hired

I'm hoping that a few charges will condition the battery over time as its pretty patetic in my opinion but thats the only neg for me.

The battery life on mine has improved quite a lot since I got it. It still gets hammered if I sit and play games all day but it is definitely better than it was to start with.

The battery does concern me a little but I'm very rarely away from a PC/Laptop/Power outlet for too long so it should never go too long between charges. Burble, how long does your battery last you now?

Burble · 13-07-2009, 14:59

If I mess about with mine a lot (and since I installed Ragdoll Blaster I've been doing just that!) then it lasts over a day. I can't say exactly how long it lasts because the battery is usually showing about 35% when I go to bed so I charge it overnight.

I can't say how long it'll last if I don't mess about with it during the day because that's yet to happen.

Davey_Pitch · 13-07-2009, 15:01

Lasting a whole day is fine with me, especially if that's when it's being used a lot. I tend to leave my charger plugged in by the bed so I'd probably end up charging it overnight as well.

I had a problem to start with as the iPhone didn't seem to like my email account and everywhere said it wouldn't sync with Outlook's email once Outlook had downloaded it.

I think part of the problem was I was still running an POP mailbox on Blueyonder, however once I switched over to IMAP everything is fine and although I can't get my old emails on to the iPhone I now have access to everything that comes though and have gone over to useing Mozilla Thunderbird to look after my emails on my PC.

I know its working because my home PC is applying rules to incoming mail and changing the folders its on and then applying it to the mail I'm getting on the iPhone, unless IMAP applies user created rules on the fly?

Same here, just over a day if I'm doing lots with it, playing games, going online etc.
When I've not used it much, it lasts 3-4 days np.

Sat nav seems to eat the battery, I could literally see % points ticking off once every minute or so

Watching videos eats it up too, forgot that last year I watched a few films while on a train. Only lasted about 5hrs!
Luckily it was just after I'd got it so I still had my old phone/contract to use for phone purposes

Nope. It'll be your home PC doing it's stuff.
