A comment on the problem "My iPhone battery drains too much overnight!" in Apple:

Sorry ... wish there was a way I could help ... I am surprised Apple is not taking care of this for you . Sounds like bug/hardware issue either way if the phone is under warranty they should be able to give you something that works to specs. – DryPodsOnline, on September 04, 2009 13:16

DryPodsOnline replied on September 04, 2009 13:00 to the question "How much storage space is on the iPhone?" in Apple:

Well you can purchase anything from an 8GB 2G iPhone up to the latest and greatest Iphone a 32GB iPhone. I would check out http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare-i...

DryPodsOnline replied on September 04, 2009 12:58 to the question "When you install the iPhone 3.0 Software Upgrade, does it take up your iPhone memory??" in Apple:

Well any software, application, music takes up memory of your iPhone. The new OS (operating systems) are usually about the same size as the existing one on your iPhone so there is not too much to worry about. I still use the 2G iPhone 8GB and currently run the latest OS and have 6 pages of applications.

So upgrade and have fun with the new features.

Peter S. Magnusson's reply to "What is EDGE and what it does mean for me as I use my new iPhone?" was just promoted to the most useful! DryPodsOnline and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

great info Amy.

having used the iphone in the bay area since launch, i'll add my subjective datapoint. basically, edge is almost always available (but not invariably), and the speed varies dramatically. it is sometimes competitive with wifi (as far as iphone-end-user experience goes), and sometimes it slows to almost a complete stop.

edge is good enough that i can generally use the mapping/traffic feature and email while in the car.

i kind of view edge as i viewed the analog-vs-digital in the old days. if wifi is available, then i have great performance on the device. if it isn't, then edge is my fallback that works reasonably well.

now, this means that if the bulk of your environment lacks wifi, you will not enjoy the iphone experience in the same way. (add to that the fact that safari on the iphone doesn't remember passwords very well, making stuff like starbucks tmobile support a hassle)

Well there are many things that effect battery life ... one could actually be a bad battery .. Has that been replaced yet ?

Second depending on which iPhone you have .. If it is the 3G or 3Gs there is more of a battery drain on those phones due to using the 3G Network.

Lastly you could also have a drain if your phone is connected to WiFi or the push/fetch settings on your phone are activated. Take a look at those settings on your phone . Please do not forget about blue tooth devices as well as those connections will drain battery life as well.

Good luck

Well I do not know about cute. I would rather a case that protects. You should look at the OtterBox Defender Case or atleast the OtterBox Impact Case. I have given you links below.

The Defender Case comes in White, Pink, Black, Black & Yellow and all Black ..

Also .. check your fetch / push settings on your iPhone they will drain power along with any blue tooth devices that your iPhone is keeping in contact with. The new Patch helped quiet a bit.

DryPodsOnline replied on September 23, 2008 04:02 to the question "Won't the iPhone's beautiful screen get all scratched up?" in Apple:

Well I always vote for a quality case and not trust myself not to scratch the screen. I have used the OtterBox Defender Series case for about a year now and I am brutal on my iPhone. The case has protected the screen and even the back of my iPhone looks like new. Maybe something to consider .

DryPodsOnline replied on September 18, 2008 12:23 to the discussion "Got my iPhone wet, and Apple replaced it with a new one..." in Apple:

We get tons of emails from customers about water damage and drop damage. All I can say is invest in a good quality case. Do not purchase a case simply for its looks as most of those designs do not offer protection. If you need help picking out a case drop me a note as we carry waterproof and the OtterBox Defender cases for daily use. I use the Defender Case personally and I am not gentle with my phone.

Let me know if I can help.

DryPodsOnline replied on September 18, 2008 12:20 to the problem "iPhone not syncing podcasts, running back-up every time I connect to iTunes" in Apple:

Well .. I would double check your iTunes settings. If they are good and it should be automatically syncing .. then try manual and see if you can grab the podcasts that you want. If this does not work. Time to go to the Apple Store for some genius bar help.

DryPodsOnline replied on September 18, 2008 12:18 to the problem "My iPhone battery drains too much overnight!" in Apple:

The latest software update helped me. A definite MUST download especially if you use "fetch" to gather information all the time. To do this upgrade you will also have to make sure you have the latest iTunes version as well.
