Save battery power with low light mode
The iPhone has a hidden light sensor located just above the ear piece. If this sensor detects low lighting, it will put the phone into a dim-light display mode. More light in the room will cause the iPhone to go into a full brightness mode. Use this sensor to your advantage by covering the sensor as you unlock the iPhone. This will put the iPhone into a low light mode saving you battery power. You can also do this manually in the iPhone settings, but it takes a lot longer to tap and navigate to the brightness slider in the iPhone’s settings.

Hold down the HOME button when exiting applications instead of pressing it once.
This will shut down that application completly when its not use, as aposed to just minimizing it.
This stops that application using CPU cycles and sucking your battery dry in the background. Especially when you have many appz running.
Also disable wifi when not in use, keep screen brightness bellow 60% and placeing ipod into sleep mode while only listning to audio all help to increase battery life.
(press off button wheile using audio to but in sleep mode)
Since iv started manually killing application when not in use my vidio/audio time has increase dramaticly.
Thanks Jasper, great tip!
thanks a lot jas
And try this if you are using bluetooth headset…
During the conversation, press sleep button and iphone will be locked.
Display will turn off but you can still talk on the phone.
