Extend Your iPhone Battery Life (2/15/2015)Yay, blogging time!

Another common complaint we get on a regular basis is my battery does not last as much as it used to. Well, of course not. Each iPhone battery is built to with stand a certain number of charge cycles, so it will never be like it was brand new out of the box. Battery life is also affected by each new iOS that Apple puts out, as well as how we use the phone on a regular basis. Here are a few tips to help extend the life of your iPhone s battery.

Let s start with diagnosis. We will use my personal iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.1 similar of ios 9 that I have owned for about a year and a half now. To begin, click on Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage. You should see a screen like the one to the right. What does this tell me, except that I spend way too much time stalking people on Facebook? Well, for one, the battery seems to be using a significant portion of juice on the Home & Lock screen. Here are a few tips to lower these figures significantly.

1) Adjust Your Notifications Settings
These are battery hogs for sure. Click on Settings > Notifications, and turn off notifications for Apps that are least often used.

2) Turn Off Background App Refresh
This features refreshes App content in the background each time your iPhone connects to a Wi-fi network. This can potentially use a lot of power depending on how many Apps you own. Shut this off by clicking on Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

3) Disable Your LTE Connection
Yes, LTE is awesome, and everything loads super fast, sometimes faster than Wi-fi! One downside is that it is also a huge battery hog. I find that using the iPhone’s 4G network is sufficient for most things (writing emails, streaming music, etc.). If I need to research something fast, and I just can’t wait, I enable LTE momentarily. Shut off LTE by clicking on Settings > Cellular > Enable LTE.

4) Shut Off the Parallax Effect
This feature allows the use of dynamic wallpapers that move in the background, which requires precious battery power. It also makes me quite dizzy. Shut it off by clicking on Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion (on).

5) Shut off the Fetch Function
Fetch is a function in your mail settings that notifies you of each new email as it comes in. While it’s a great feature, all that background work tends to use up precious battery life. I personally don’t need to be notified of each new email – I just check mine from time to time. Shut off the Fetch Function by going toSettings > Mail, Contacts, & Calendars > Push (off) & Fetch Manually.

6) Adjust Location Monitoring
Certain apps require location monitoring, which can also zap battery life. Click on Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can shut them off entirely, or you can go through each individual App and adjust location access accordingly.

7) Adjust Your Brigthness
The liquid crystal display (LCD) uses quite a bit of power when brightness is turned all the way up. Adjust the screen’s brightness by clicking on Settings > Display & Brightness. It might take a little time to get used to a dimmer screen, but your battery and your eyes will thank you.

Study Smarter: Best Apps for StudentsPublished on October 29, 2015 by Matthew
The end of the semester is nearing. Maybe you aced it, maybe you bombed. Either way, utilizing your smartphone as a study tool is something you should be doing. There are dozens of apps out there designed to increase productivity and jam as much information into your head as possible, but swimming through that ocean of apps is worse than studying for a final on a Saturday night. We’ve sifted through the duds and brought you a list of the top 5.

Any.do

Remember the days of carrying around a planner in school and diligently writing down due dates and assignments, scrambling to keep all the pages organized? Those days are long gone. Any.do provides a neat and tidy way to keep track of everything you need to get done by allowing you to mark assignments by priority. The best part? You can sync the app to all your devices so you’ll never be without your assignments.

Dropbox

Dropbox is literally a must have. It’s essential. You can upload everything in your arsenal; notes, essays, homework, pictures from textbooks, all to the cloud. If you forget your laptop or phone, you simply go to dropbox.com to access your account. Now you have no excuses for forgetting a due assignment!

Mathway

There’s nothing worse than getting stuck on a math problem with no solution in site. It’s often difficult to ascertain the proper method for solving a problem from a textbook, and tutors and teachers aren’t always available. Mathway allows you to type in the problem you’re working on and it will give you a step by step guide on how to solve it. It’s great for checking your work, too!

EasyBib

The worst part of writing an essay, hands down, is having to create a references page. MLA format? An enemy for life. EasyBib changes all that. It takes the annoying part of writing out so you can concentrate on content. All you have to do is enter the name of the book, website, or any other type of reference you use into the app and it will generate the correct citation. What a relief.

SelfControl

Admit it- you’re not always paying attention during the lectures of that particularly boring and monotone professor. Your attention often slips and you can’t help but to check out what’s going on on social media or your favorite shopping or news site. You need some SelfControl! This app acts as your own personal attention guard. It blocks the sites that will divert your attention from your class so that you can concentrate on the important things. When your class is over, it opens them back up.

As a student, it’s clearly important to utilize technology to your advantage. There are so many tools available to enhance your studies; it’d be silly not to take advantage of them. Of course, keeping your devices in proper working order is the key to maintaining good study habits. If you’re in Lafayette, get your smartphone, iPod, or iPad back in working order at an affordable price. Stop by and see us!

    Welcome back to the iPad Pro Experiment! I took the weekend off from screens (save for watching a little Fallout 4 action) to continue with doctor-mandated recovery time, but we're back today with Friday's full-filled iPad Pro adventures.

    Want to read about my other days with the iPad Pro?

    On Friday, I had to travel up to Boston for a doctor's appointment, and stay there for the day—what better way to test the iPad Pro's portable capabilities outright?

    On Thursday, I'd charged the tablet overnight using the included 12W charger. (Note to multi-device owners, don't charge the iPad with a 5W iPhone charger unless you want it to take 16+ hours.) After an evening's charge, I snapped it into the Logitech Create case, and put it into my laptop bag along with an SD card with recently-snapped photos from a photoshoot a few days prior, my Lightning to SD Card Reader, and my Jot Dash stylus. (Still no Pencil. Sorrow and sadness.)

    At the doctor's office, I got a bit of "work" (catching up on Twitter, Slack, and email) done on my iPad Pro before my appointment, and wrote my Day Two outline in Notes. (Still haven't switched to a new writing program just yet.)

    After my appointment, I celebrated a clean bill of health with a trip to my favorite local café, loaded up on hot cider and scones, and opened up the Create case. iPad battery level when I sat down around noon: 95 percent.

    Processing and editing photographsMy first order of business—after scones—was to take care of a little photo editing. I'd shot some headshots for a friend of mine awhile back as a favor, and needed to resize and crop them for a project he had coming up.

    After setting up my iPad, I pulled out the SD card I shot them on, plugged it into Apple's Lightning to SD Card Reader, and imported them into the Photos app within seconds. (Note: While Photos for iOS will import RAW images, I was just working with high-quality JPEG files in this import.)

    I've actually done this kind of iPad import a number of times, even before this experiment started. The reason? Pixelmator.

    I make a lot of little repairs to most of the hero (big) images you might see on iMore: Usually it's removing dust and dirt on an iPhone or Apple Watch screen, or lightening a background. And for those sorts of tasks, I find a touchscreen far faster and more useful than a mouse and my Mac.



    With my prior experience, it took less than 20 minutes to pick the best headshot of the bunch in Photos, send it to Pixelmator, copy the headshot template from my friend's email, overlay the template on the headshot, resize it accordingly, remove blemishes with the repair tool, and extend the background to the new resized headshot. Once finished, I sent the final copy in JPG form to my friend via Dropbox.

    Largely, I prefer editing and viewing images on the iPad. Your editing program of choice may vary, and some require different things of your images than others—the Photos app offers nondestructive edits and you can work right within the app; Pixelmator requires importing and exporting images from its database; Lightroom builds its own separate images database using Creative Cloud; and so on.

    And batch editing multiple photos can be more of a pain on the iPad than Mac, though Lightroom (if you have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription) offers a great implementation for copying the previous photo's adjustments and tweaks.

    If you need to do tiny tweaks, it helps to carry around a stylus like Adonit's Jot Dash (or Apple's Pencil, if you can get your hands on it). Zooming in on a photo and working with the stylus nib lets you change tiny parts of the photo with precise strokes and movements.

    Exporting images can be tricky if you, like me, work on the Internet. Very few apps support a true "Export for Web" option; additionally, naming images or changing metadata can be equally problematic if you're uploading them to a server or a content management system.

    Lucky for us, Workflow exists. The automator-style application lets you do all sorts of wonderful things to just about any file you have on your iPad, including images. Workflows are pretty easy to learn to build as a newcomer, but there's also a huge gallery available for more complex pre-built solutions.

    I have to give a huge hat tip here to MacStories's Federico Viticci for helping me fix my renaming and resizing woes with a great Workflow script: It finds images from your Photos library, renames them, resizes them, and exports them to your destination of choice. (I put them in iCloud Drive, but you can also send images to Dropbox or any other storage location you prefer.)

    This script lets me process images faster than I've ever done them on my Mac, and from there, I can upload the resized photos to iMore's CMS, email them, or do pretty much whatever I please. (I could probably build an AppleScript on my Mac to do a similar function, but AppleScript scares me a whole lot more than Workflow. Don't know why. They're not really that different, but such is my taste, I suppose.)

    The pain of Google DriveIn the midst of fixing my friend's photos, I got a request to edit a Google Sheet for a roller derby event. Now, Google Docs online has traditionally been miserable on iOS—it renders in a special view-only mobile hellscape, and you have to open it in one of Google's iOS apps for it to function correctly.

    Google's apps have traditionally been pretty good, though they occasionally goof at collaboration. But on the iPad Pro, they're painfully bad. Just awful. They're upsized, so the graphics aren't crisp, and typing data into a single cell takes up two-thirds of the Pro's screen with an oversized keyboard. If you have a hardware keyboard connected, the giant software keyboard disappears—replaced with a giant grey box.



    It's a huge let-down from Google, especially since its web apps don't work properly in Chrome or Safari for iOS. The company has had years to build for dynamic layouts and multiple size classes, and has known about the iPad Pro since September. And yet, its iOS apps make a mockery of doing professional work on an iPad. It's almost impossible. And that's not great for the many people who rely on Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets for organizing their business.

    Reading timeEvery Friday evening, I like to sit down and catch up with This., a social network based around sharing interesting and in-depth reading. Usually I end up catching up on articles using my iPhone, but as part of the iPad Experiment, I decided to read my This. queue entirely on my iPad Pro.

    I unhooked the iPad from the Logitech Create case and swapped it into portrait mode, and began to read the first article—an incredible, though graphic, tale about American veterans and paying it forward.

    I'll say this for the Pro: While it's not as comfortable to hold in-hand as an iPad mini or Air 2, it pulls you into graphically-rich stories better than just about any digital device I've used. It's immersive, haunting, and beautiful. And that's just viewing stories and images—I don't read many digital comics or magazines, but I imagine those look just as spectacular.

    The Pro probably isn't perfect for every kind of reading—I look at it as more of a coffee table book experience. I wouldn't take it to bed with me, but I'm more than happy to lounge on the couch with it and read the news and features. That big, gorgeous screen does the well-built web every favor—and, alternatively, shows just how terrible the ad-ridden side of the web has gotten.

    Siri, play me a party mixOn Friday night, my roller derby team held our end-of-season awards party. Aside from the expected merriment, awards silliness, and chin-ups to "kiss the alien" (don't ask), I had our championship game running on my iPad during the evening in Picture-in-Picture mode along with a few team songs on repeat.



    As they passed the iPad and saw the game, I had several teammates remark in surprise over not just Picture-in-Picture, but the quality of the iPad's sound system. I knew it was great, and worlds better than my laptop, but it says something when people who I wouldn't normally categorize as "passionate about sound quality" speak up.

    Battery for daysBetter yet: After a full day of work, music playing, and background video, I went to bed that night with my iPad at 46 percent battery life.

    My 11-inch MacBook Air gets maybe four hours of active battery life if I'm lucky. My iPhone averages around 12-14 before demanding a charge. It's, frankly, a little crazy to me that the Pro could handle 12 hours of heavy work, music, and video—with a Smart Keyboard connected for most of that time!—and come out of it with just under half its battery remaining.

    As I wasn't planning on doing much with the iPad over the weekend, I intentionally didn't charge it to see how it would fare in standby; after two days of very light Twitter usage, I checked Monday morning to see 32 percent in the upper left corner. (I used it until noon before finally plugging it in.)

    The iPad's battery has always been good, but for me, it's always been the sort of "Good, this is still charged" relief. This experiment is the first time I'm putting an iPad through its paces, and I'm very impressed. As someone whose devices are always on the verge of battery death, the iPad wildly outscores my portable Macs—to the extent that I'm seriously wondering if I might just ditch my laptop after this experiment for battery gains alone. Maybe. We'll see what the other days have in store for me.
