Re: Multitasking!!!

I love the iPhone! They are making some very positive changes with this O/S and it will make it that much better. This is going to be perfect because as of right now with my baseband, I can not jailbreak mine

I though this was going to be a thread about something women think they have the upper hand at but most of them are as useless as most blokes at.

Re: Multitasking!!!

^^^ hahah!

but seriously, with the already FUCKING ABYSMAL battery life on the new iphone - is this a good idea? I mean, i love my iphone, have loved them since i got a 1st gen one, had it for 2 years and smashed the screen by accident. Before i killed it, i noticed that the battery only lasted for 2 or so days between charges... thinking this was a sign that it was time for a new battery soon.

I was fucking gobsmacked about the battery life on the new phone. I was so fucking pissed off that i thought it must be defective. I had tests done, and compared with other friends who are getting at the most 24 hours battery life with LIGHT USEAGE and mine seemed to get better battery then some of theirs did.

from what i gathered, the battery has a much lower capacity compared to the old one.

To put this into perspective for you guys, i charged my phone, went to bed and it sat on the table next to me. In the morning, after the phone had sat there for 7 hours, not had any calls or txts = notifications turned off, in a FULL COVERAGE area, it was at 70% battery life. When i got to work, i had to charge the phone by mid afternoon, otherwise i knew it would run out of juice by the time i was supposed to be meeting my girlfriend for dinner.

This is a fucking joke. I pay 1300$ for a phone that cant make it a day - bearing in mind this was with practically NO USEAGE AT ALL. no calls, no txts, about an hours playback on the ipod, no internet shit, and so on.

What i can imagine is them releasing this update, it being awesome, but the phone lasting for 12 hours with normal use.

This is not fucking good enough. the old model used to give me * FUCKING HOURS OF PROPER TALK TIME between charges, and last for more than a couple days without me even breaking a sweat.

dont get me wrong - the 3gs is a much better phone functionally, but in terms of power consumption - its bollocks.

O, and not to mention that the screen on the other models is practically impossible to scratch, but the 3gs scratches easier then a vinyl record. now i have a first gen with a smashed screen, and a big fucking scratch on my new, otherwise completely immaculate iphone 3gs.

Re: Multitasking!!!

I thought the 3gs had a much better battery life. I have a 3g and love it! I get about 36 hours with light use and 24 with heavy use.
I hope the new one gets a better batterie since I´m planning to upgrade this year.

Re: Multitasking!!!

I am new to the Iphone game, only got one cause my friend sold me his 3G one for a good price, he got a 3GS. Have to say i really like it, lots of cool apps and use the IPod alot for listening to tunes.

I can understand why Apple won't have multitasking for the 3G but still a shame, not that i really need it although it would be a nice function. I just hope all the other new 4.0 stuff will be included in the download for 3G.

The battery is the shittest thing about the Iphone alright, but i don't know if this is specific to it. I think we need a new battery source now, lithium ion batts just aren't cuttin it for energy draining smart phones. Wonder what the nexus one and new windows 7 mobile are like on Batt life?

iPhone seems ok for me cause i don't take many calls, i send a good few texts and use apps daily. It does suck changing from a older phone that will last 2/3 days to an iphone.. Can't beat a shitty old brick phone..

Re: Multitasking!!!

This wont work on older iphones/itouch so its only for the newer models... which suckssssssss.

Re: Multitasking!!!

^^ don't forget that we are talking about Apple here.. they basically make disposable products. You cant even change the battery on your iPhone.. u have to send it in and they will charge you way more than the batt is worth. Every batt has certain amount of charge cycles, considering that the battery life of the iphone is not that great to start with it only gets worse. And then...u buy the new one this coming summer, and next summer..yup u buy the next one.

I just got a new battery and a new housing for my Nokia E71 ... it looks brand new. And i've been multitasking with it for a long time
