Thank you for this. That has been a problem for me lately. I am definitely going to change some of my settings. The auto lock causes my phone to act strange when I am on calls and my screen stays black and won’t let me see or do anything until I hit the lock key again which then hangs up the call. Drives mr crazy!

i got the same problem too, after upgrading to OS 3.2, i would always need to charge my iphone everyday, and its a hassle. to think that you charged it almost all day its just gonna last like for a half a day only. are the iphone batteries not really replaceable?

I have to charge my phone every night, and one hour in the afternoon. If I browse about one hour straight, 30 mins if music and 20 mins of calls in the afternoon my phone is at 40-60 percent, I’m nit happy, could it be a defect?

hi. my iphone 3g was drained recently so i charged it immediately when i got home. after charging it a few hours, it’s still half of it and after a few minutes, a notification appeared and says 20% of the battery remaining. i charged it using its wall charger. and tried also in laptop. but it’s still the same. help!

Push notifications don’t use extra battery. If anything, they SAVE battery. Push doesn’t poll the server for updates. The server tells the phone when there is the update. It PUSHES the data to the phone.

@kuldip, no problem for me. Are you charging through USB on computer or power socket?

Hi Simon,

I have followed all these instructions but still battery is draining too fast on OS 3.0. One strange thing is, i dont have Notification option (mentioned in Step 6) in settings. Any sujjestions.
Another weired thing i’ve noticed is that in SB Settings processes tab, i can see 2 processes namely phone and mail. phone process is OK but there shouldnt be mail process because i havent configured any email on my iphone. Each time i kill it, it appears again after some time. And due to this mail process, battery is going down fast.

Please advise.
