The IPhone 3GS is Apples latest offering to the IPhone fanatics out there, but it still has the battery problem of its predecessors. So despite the added features and higher coolness factor, IPhone 3GS users still search the Internet for posts on ways to extend their IPhone’s battery life.  Listed below are the few tips if you want to know how to save more on IPhone 3Gs battery then read on.

IPhone’s 3GS Battery Saving Tips

1. The usual suspects: Turn off features you dont need. These include WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS/Location Services, Push email, 3G and Data Roaming. Most of these features can be turned off in Settings; just look for the right button.

2. Not so usual but makes sense is turning off Vibrate alert. In most phones using vibrate is no big deal as it only uses power when you have a call or message, but with IPhone, a little bit goes a long way. That also carries for the IPod Equalizer, which you dont really need. Both functions can be found in Settings under Sounds.

3. Minimize your game time on your IPhone 3Gs. Thats a drag, for sure, but you need to get your priorities straight with the functions you simply cant do without, and it is doubtful whether Paper Toss is one of them.

4. Get an IPhone car charger. Whenever you get a chance, plug your IPhone in to extend your happy time. A full charge usually takes about 40 minutes. Then maybe you can play a bit of Paper Toss with an easy conscience and without dreading the battery low warning before you get home.

5. Another idea is to get a good battery extender, preferably one that carries more than one charge at a time. This is especially important when you travel by air all the time, and your travel time is more than four or five hours. An external battery extender such as New Trent IMP500 carries more than 3 full charges, and they are coming out with a harness type model so you can tuck your IPhone in without worrying about cables and connectors.

6. Get dim. Reduce your display brightness to as low as it can go without sacrificing visibility, and disable auto-brightness. It wont really affect how you use your IPhone, and you can also adjust it up when you feel like you have to peer at your screen to read what it says.

7. Filter your phone calls. Yes, you can ignore calls that are not important and allow them to be routed to your voice mail for retrieval later when you have an available wall socket. You will not suffer greatly. Keeping calls to a minimum is a good way to conserve battery life.

8. A neat way to keep better track of your battery usage is to activate the battery percentage feature. It will give you a better picture of how you stand battery-wise at any one time, and give you options for dealing with the issue on a more exact level. Not really earth-shattering, but it’s quite useful. This is only available in 3GS and can be found in Settings, under the General Tab, under Usage.

9. One final suggestion is to lock your phone when not in use. This prevents accidental activation of some functions such as calls, and brings most background functions into standby mode. Set Auto-Lock to activate after a short interval, such as 15 seconds.
