Hi Everyone,
I got a Iphone but I have problem with its battery I gess. Normally how long should its battery work? How many days or hours for a normal usage just as for calling out and taking calls.
Thanks.
depend on how you use ... when i use 2g only, talking for about 30 mins per day and about 15 mins of e-mails check (activating 3g and/or using edge and/or wireless), it lasts about 4 days for me.
I I use 3g the whole time it lasts 2 to 3 days
