task.
For example, with my battery charged to 70 percent,
I could enjoy five and a half hours chatting on the
phone, six hours and 20 minutes using the Internet,
more than four hours playing games, and seven
hours watching videos.
An «All data» screen sums up all the tasks and breaks
down items like Internet use depending on whether
you’re using Wi-Fi, 3G, or 2G. A «Charge time» button
tells you how long it will take to fully charge your
device. And tapping twice on any task displays the
percentage of your current charge.

there’s now an app that tries to help them get the

tain number of hours on a single charge. Moving
your finger up and down a gauge triggers such sug-
gestions as not watching online videos, turning off
push notifications, and turning off Wi-Fi. I didn’t
find that feature very helpful, but the app provides
its own suggestions on preserving your battery,
which were more instructive.
Among other tips, the app recommends that you
fully drain the battery from time to time and then
do a full recharge. It also advises you to disable the
«fetch new data» option whenever possible and to
shut down background apps, such as GPS and ins-
tant-messaging software, which often keep getting
push notifications even when suspended.
The Audio Equalizer apparently chews up power,
so the app suggests keeping that off. And turning
off 3G if you don’t need it can double your talk time
and Internet use since it forces your phone to run
on the slower EDGE network.
Of course, many other sites and sources provide
advice on conserving a phone’sbattery power. Apple
even offers its own page of suggestions. So the tips
in BatterySense can be found elsewhere, but they’re
helpful nonetheless.
The app can’t fix the problem with the iPhone 4S
battery drain (for that we’ll have to wait for the next
version of iOS). But it does provide some insight into
your battery usage and what you can do to coax
more power out of a single charge.
