    I bought iphone 3gs yesterday....the battery sucks! Help Please.

    I charged it this morning and this evening the battery is very low without me doing anything on the phone...

    I have 3.0 firmware on there, and i have unlocked and jailbreaked it.

    How can i improve the battery?

    1 - turn off 3G - when you do not need it (I don't find it much quicker)
    2 - turn down intervals of the email checking.
    3 - turn off the Automatic Location service.
    4 - make sur the screen goes blank within reasonable time

    The battery has a tendency not to have full capacity at first - takes a few cycles 0-100% to get there.

    Look under settings... and I recommend SBSettings


    And sorry to say but the battery time is poor - compared to other phones....
    Do hope that helps

    What is your usage time on there? I also had a battery issue with mine but after about 2 weeks of conditioning it the life improved drastically.
