I already have the 3G disabled anyway since it messes with the gsm signal - in Cyprus anyway.Stephanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949615243828684854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485943794801967793.post-58900196079479711512011-01-28T11:32:45.012+02:002011-01-28T11:32:45.012+02:00I've found that disabling 3G improved the batt...I've found that disabling 3G improved the battery life on my iPhone when running Cyclemeter or similar apps. <br /><br />I'm not sure why this works, but I suspect it might be to with the way the iPhone will use GPS data if it has a signal, or otherwise will try to get a less accurate position via 3G/Edge/GPRS. 3G tends to use more battery I guess.<br /><br />My battery always used to run out on longer (60+ miles) rides but after turning off 3G I still have some battery left by the time I get home.<br /><br />You can turn on/off 3G by going to Settings -> Network.<br /><br />Hope that helps,<br /><br />TomTom Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732570475231953474noreply@blogger.com
