Make sure you read all the text in the different steps when turning a service off and remember that it is easily turned on again. When 4G is turned off your internet connection will be slower. Therefore only disable 4G, if your battery is low. This will stop the push service from downloading new data to your phone automatically.

Trusted Score Share:. The new A7 dual-core 1. But phones are not top trumps and the processor on the iPhone 5S is hugely impressive, even though it looks much weaker on paper. Apps load instantaneously and 3D games looks jaw-droppingly good.
The cars in Real Racing 3 look almost photorealistic while Infinity Blade 3 provides console quality graphics. The benchmarks support the experience.
A lot of apps Apple's and others communicate with the web every day e. Battery life varies a lot depending on use and background activity. May 15, PM. May 16, AM. My battery usually lasts a day, unless I make heavy use of it. I charge it overnight, every night, so I know I will get through the next day.
Just enjoy the phone and don't obsess about the battery life. My iPhone 5 used to last the whole night and I would charge it every night. Lately, within the past two weeks or so, the battery life has decreased significantly down to about 4 hours with minimal use. Any reasons or suggestions for the sudden drop? Jun 26, PM. My wife and I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 a couple of months ago. So far my iPhone 5 seems to get significantly worse battery life than the 4 did, but my wife's phone does better.
I do have more apps than she has, but they are all the same apps I had on the iPhone 4. I have disabled Siri as well as location services and notifications for many apps I am going to start tracking the actual usage from full charge without partially charging in between full charges as I often do. Jul 12, AM. Jul 19, AM. The data was accurate, but stopped being representative of reality. Going into the iPhone 5 review I knew we needed to change the suite. After testing a number of options and using about The premise is the same: we regularly load web pages at a fixed interval until the battery dies all displays are calibrated to nits as always.
The differences between this test and our previous one boil down to the amount of network activity and CPU load. On the network side, we've done a lot more to prevent aggressive browser caching of our web pages.
Some caching is important otherwise you end up with a baseband test, but it's clear what we had previously wasn't working. Brian made sure that despite the increased network load, the baseband still had the opportunity to enter its idle state during the course of the benchmark. We also increased CPU workload along two vectors: we decreased pause time between web page loads and we shifted to full desktop web pages, some of which are very js heavy.
The end result is a CPU usage profile that mimics constant, heavy usage beyond just web browsing. Everything you do on your smartphone ends up causing CPU usage peaks - opening applications, navigating around the OS and of course using apps themselves.
Our 5th generation web browsing battery life test should map well to more types of smartphone usage, not just idle content consumption of data from web pages. As always we test across multiple air interfaces 3G, 4G LTE, WiFi , but due to the increased network load we actually find that on a given process technology we see an increase in battery life on faster network connections.
The why is quite simple to understand: the faster a page is able to fully render, the quicker all components can drive down to their idle power states. The downside to starting with a new battery life test is that we don't have a wealth of older data to compare to. I did my best to run whatever we had access to at the time, but there simply aren't that many devices in these charts compared to our older ones.
The data below may not look like a lot, but it's the result of running over hours of battery life tests to not only understand how these devices do under load but also to find out the best test to use as the cornerstone of our new suite. We'll start the investigation on WiFi. Where supported we used 5GHz The iPhone 5 manages to match Apple's estimates, just breaking the 10 hour barrier.
