However, the most common problem that iPhone users encounter is the problem of battery draining suddenly. Apple iPhone features a rechargeable battery. The battery life of iPhone 3G seems to be poorer as compared to its predecessors.

Reasons Behind Low Performance of iPhone Battery

There can be several causes of iPhone battery draining too fast. But, the factors that have been observed to be more commonly responsible for this problem are, faulty battery indicator and overactive push mechanism. Most often, it is either the 'push notification' or the 'push mail setting', which cause the battery to drain too fast. Even application flaws and hardware defects can be associated with the battery drain all of a sudden. In fact, Apple iPhones are frequently criticized in the Apple iPhone reviews for poor battery life.

How to Prevent iPhone Battery from Running Down

As we know, there can be various reasons behind poor battery life of Apple iPhones. But, most consumers have observed that it is usually the 'push notification', which is responsible for this problem. In fact, many consumers have witnessed improvement in battery life after turning off or disabling the 'notification' under 'settings'. You can also turn off 3G in areas where you have edge coverage. This is a great way to save battery. Next to 'notification', you can disable the 'fetch new data' under 'settings'.

Even a change in your 'fetch data settings' can have a significant effect on iPhone battery life. iPhone can check your email accounts automatically at preset intervals, and checking mails can simply drain out the battery, especially if you have many email accounts. To solve this problem, you can turn off the automatic email fetching or you can just increase the fetch interval. Similarly, turning off the Wi-Fi and 'push for e-mail' can also help to prolong battery life. The 'exchange account' that has been set up on the iPhone can be another reason behind this battery problem. Many users have found that deleting the 'exchange push account' and setting it up as a new account has proved helpful in preventing fast battery drainage.

Many times, resetting the iPhone and the network setting can also help to address the issue of fast drainage of the battery. Like computer and many other devices, resetting the iPhone can solve several problems. However, resetting the network setting can be a bit inconvenient, as this step will remove stored Wi-Fi passwords and settings. This means that you have to enter all your Wi-Fi passwords after resetting the network settings. Apart from these, you can consider to update your iPhone with the latest firmware updates available, if you are frequently encountering the problem of fast battery drainage.

Lastly, if the battery of your phone is draining fast all of a sudden, then it could mean that you need to handle the device a bit carefully, and take proper care of your iPhone. One of the important aspect of iPhone care is to recharge the battery before it drains completely. This means that, you should not allow the battery to drain completely before charging. Next, you can consider calibrating on your battery to enhance its performance. Calibrating is quite simple and easy, as all you have to do is to charge the battery fully and then use it as usual till the battery has drained completely. At this point, the device will power itself off, after which you again charge the battery fully. However, calibrating should not be done too frequently. Calibrating once in every few months is sufficient to improve the battery life of your iPhone.
