iPhone Software 2.0: Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi On
Yet another feature from iPhone Software 2.0 confirmed. The Wi-Fi can be turned on in Airplane mode.
What is the practical use of having Wi-Fi on in Airplane mode? Maybe now the iPhone can be used for browsing the internet on the airplane during flight. But the obvious use is to have the iPhone functioning just like an iPod touch, all the Wi-Fi without the phone signal.
If you recently replaced your original iPhone with iPhone 3G, you can now use it as an iPod touch by switching to the Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi on. It saves some battery life not having the iPhone still looking for the GSM signals.
How To Drain iPhone 3G Battery
Tips on draining iPhone 3G battery in minimum amount of time. All you have to do:
- Turn on 3G.
- Turn on Bluetooth and connect to a headset.
- Turn Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” on.
- Play music through built-in speaker.
- Open Maps, and use the “Locate Me” feature using GPS. Leave the iPhone using that apps.
- Turn screen brightness to maximum.
- Set the iPhone not to lock.
- Set the email to push and minimum of 15 minute interval.
- Turn anything else you can find on.
Most likely the battery will drain within 90 minutes or less.
OK, that was somewhat pointless, but now I know not to do that anymore.
