[QUOTE="rich6490, post: 695591, member: 56903"] Turn off, unless needed all the time... 3G, WiFi, Location Services. When you go to Settings/General/Location Services (on off toggle) and turn it off it stays off until you use a program that requires the gps or radio tower triangulation, once you open, say maps and triangulate your position, location services will be turned back on and stay on. I seem to get 1 or even 2 extra bars when I turn location services off, I don't know if its GPS interference or just extra power drain causing signal to be less powerful, but having Location Services off on the new iPhone 3G is a must. Its a pain but can save you up to 50% of your battery life as I have noticed. And if you rarely use maps/GPS then it shouldn't be a big deal. 3G isn't in my area till november so I have that off and don't get to report on that yet. Wifi definitely hurts battery life a lot as well. [/QUOTE]
