I was posting an article in the Blog.

This article “SmartPhones battery headache“

.. and immediately after publishing today 17 May 201, I searched in Google for the blog title – and there it was, on position 1!

>> See it in Google [+]

Or course the title is quite unique but ….

Is Google following my Blog in real time??

In theory iPhone battery last 5 hrs and iPad last 7 or 8 and Android devices battery life varies from different models, mine is Nexus One and last about 6hrs.

Of course the use of audio or video will reduce the battery in a couple of hours max.

The reality is that batteries can be exhausted in half or a third of these times, much depending on the choice of settings of your device.

Disable 3G/WiFi. Turn it back on ONLY when you need it, mainly when go online.
Disable GPS and Maps if you are not on the move and using them. (Disable Location Services)
Disable Bluetooth if you are not using it.
Reduce the Screen Brightness.

I have achieved the 12 hrs battery life in all my devices just by applying these basic tricks, but manufacturers should have made all this much simpler.

You can use either 3G or Wi-FI to connect to the internet.

Wi-Fi is good (fast and free) for your local connexions (e.g. at home or office). You must have a code/password to access the Wi-Fi router.

When you are not near your Wi-Fi connexions you can either use 3G (Satellite) or try to connect to an â??openâ? Wi-Fi hot-spot, or a hot-spot that your provider allows you to connect to (normally are BT hot-spot that have an agreement with your provider).

For 3G you need a SIM card (MicroSim) you need to have a contract with one of the UK poviders:  O2, Orange and Vodafone

O2 and Orange offer also connexion to BT Wi-Fi hotspots but you may not need this.

See in this page some recommendations, and the list of plans, (Or us if this is not clear)
