Apple has recently launched new mobile operating system version IOS 7 for their iDevices. As per many public survey results iPhone users are enjoying this new IOS version and its new user interface. It is always good to have something new but as you know nobody is perfect so even Apple’s IOS 7 have few things which user may not like. There are two concerned problems for now, one is its battery life and other one is no jailbreak option for now. Well, jailbreak option may not available for now time being but surely developers will found some way in the future and will release public jailbreak option for this IOS too. But we can deal with the other problem. There are few certain tips using which you can get rid of this battery problem at some level. Using these tips you can use your iDevice with this latest IOS firmware with maximum battery life. So let’s check them out.

How to improve battery life in IOS 7?

Switch off some wireless services: Bluetooth and Wifi are quite common wireless services and their usage is quite frequent for any smart phone. But many users just don’t switch them off after they complete the work with them. I don’t need to tell you that such wireless services can kill your battery very speedily. So not even IOS 7 can handle this thing, so better you off them after your usage is over with them.

3G function: In India 3G usage is still not that high for now. I mean except internet people don’t use it more for other functions like video calling and all that. So if you are not using the internet or other 3G services then better you switch off the 3G mode from the settings which will surely help you to improve your IOS 7 battery life. 3G mode can eat up lot more battery on any device.

Update your apps: Apple has given first major change in user interface after the birth of IOS. So it is obvious that third party applications need to be optimized for this new change. You may have noticed that many applications have already provided update for this new IOS version. So you must update those applications if you are concern about battery life in this new IOS version. It may possible that those old applications are not working that good with this new IOS version so if any update is provided then go for the update so that those application get the optimized version for this new IOS.

Location/GPS service: Apple has provided Location service or GPS service individually for each applications installed on your IOS 7. Well first of all I will suggest you to off the location service for each app if your GPS usage is not high or you are not using it at all. I am saying this that mainly people only use GPS during travelling, so why to keep them on all the time. If your usage is high then better you take the benefit of given feature and on the service only for the limited apps in which you are using the GPS. So go to settings and location service and off this service fully or for those applications in which you not need this. By this way you can save lots of battery. You will found location services under Privacy section in the settings.

Background refresh for apps: In the Settings and General section you will found option of background app refresh. It is obvious that in smart phone for many reasons apps need to be refreshed automatically. But what about other apps that we don’t need to be refreshed like that. Well, just go to settings and general and from this option you can off this background refresh mode for the apps you don’t want to refresh. This will surely help you to keep battery life of your device well.

Usage of Dynamic wallpapers: Apple has introduced dynamic wallpapers option in this latest IOS version. To define it more easily now you can set selected animated wallpaper on your iDevice. Such dynamic and animated wallpapers will surely look cool on your device but no need to tell you that they can eat up lots of batter in compare of normal wallpaper. So if you are having less battery backup problem and you are using dynamic wallpapers on your device then you can switch them with normal wallpaper to have good battery backup.

Brightness of your device: Apple has given auto brightness option in the Settings. But I wonder if it is working that well like we want. So better you keep less brightness on your device manually if you are not outside or under the sunlight. Inside the house or darker area you don’t need full brightness mode in any device. So you can less the brightness to have more battery backup in compare of normal mode.

Parallax/3D mode: Apple has given Parallax mode in the new IOS 7 which will give you some kind of 3D effect on your home screen and lock screen. This new mode surely make our iDevice’s look cool enough with 3D kind of effect but it doesn’t give good effect on the battery backup of the phone. It will surely kill battery faster in compare of normal mode. So if you are not fond of this mode and you are okay with the simple and old look then better you switch this mode off to have more battery backup. To switch off this mode you need to go Settings, General, Accessibility and Reduce motion option. Just off the reduce motion to off this parallax mode. I am sure after this you will notice much more improved battery backup on your iDevice.

Spotlight Search option: Apple has very unique feature using which you can search anything like contacts, music, videos, applications, notes, events, mails, voice memos, etc directly from spotlight search option. But do you know that spotlight search application need to refresh itself frequently to give the correct results. And I don’t think you are even searching all those options I mentioned above using it. So why not to off those options you are not searching through it. Just go Settings, General and Spotlight Search option and off the options which you are not using in search option. By this way it will reduce the load on spotlight search app and it can help you to give proper battery life in compare of before.

Notification Center: Apple has also given nice option of notification area using it you can get many things updated directly on notification area. You are getting your daily to do list on it, daily stock updates and many more. To give you all up to date information it requires to keep it refresh frequently. So better you keep only those options in notification center that you actually required. You can exclude all those options from notification center that you not required at all. To do that you can go to Notification Center option under Settings page. From there you can manage your include and exclude list. Lesser list in the notification center can improve your battery backup in compare of big one.

So this is it. I guess I have explained almost all the required tips for saving battery in different ways. I know not all people are like the same and some of you may require some of above functions seriously. So I am not saying to follow all the things, just go for them which are suitable to you. I am sure this will help you to improve battery backup in new IOS 7 version. So to have good battery backup on this latest IOS firmware you may have to lose some certain advantage or features I mentioned above. Hope in future Apple can provide us better update which will give us good battery backup with all these features.

No joy can be better than the joy of getting paid for your efforts. Be it online work or whatever type. However, as far as freelancers are concerned, getting paid for the online employment is far too satisfying. The reason is simple that the freelancers have to wade through a number of scam web sites that are always lurking to get the pie of the earnings at even not paying. So it gets difficult to make out the real from the counterfeit one.

However, this does not mean all sites are scams. There are really very authentic sites that are doing business very honestly for years on end. When one works with such sites, one thing is certain, the efforts won’t go in vain. It depends on the earning ability. Earning is guaranteed at such places.

Online Writing

There are many categories of web sites from where one can earn online income. Though not all sites can make you equal money, they won’t let you go empty-handed either. There are quite a few dedicated sites only to write and post articles. Writers can show off their writing skills and according to the revenue sharing model can earn well there.

There are two ways to get paid when it comes to freelance writing. Some people prefer to get paid up front – where you get paid only once for a single article, while others are inclined towards page view earnings, where a certain article can keep you giving money forever. Why there is a difference and why people prefer to get paid out of these two options would be an entirely different topic.

Some people are full time writers or bloggers and earn squarely through writing only. There are many such people who earn a few thousand dollars per month in this way. That is indeed tremendous earning, the reason being that there is a big junk of people who earn only in pennies or a few dollars in a certain month.

PTC – Paid To Click

Clicking for a few pennies or cents daily is also another way of earning these days, known as PTC – paid to click. This industry cannot be neglected or looked down upon as there are some genuine sites that are honestly doing business when there is all the possibility of every site going scam.

When other sites go scam and the good old sites still remain active and keep paying their members, they establish the credibility of their own. Upgrading the accounts to get more benefit is also another side of the business. There are people who ‘invest’ in such sites and do earn a considerable amount every month.

Forum Posting

Even forum posting can be a good source of side income. It keeps you connected with the members of that particular forum and also adds to your knowledge when you and others share the thoughts. There are a lot of forums on various topics and almost every forum has members that are pretty helpful and understanding. Many times you will get an answer from a totally strange person.

But not all forums can earn you bucks. Some forums are simply for sharing queries and answers or for enjoying in the community. Many times people do find their answers on the forums that otherwise would have been difficult to get elsewhere as there is no one to approach.

Apart from these methods, blogging, affiliate marketing, advertising, etc. are many more methods that can earn you considerable amount of money, provided the nail is hit on the head. The possibilities are unending and the horizons of online earning have spread. You just need to know how to tap the prospects.

Internet is now quite a common thing among people. They use it on daily basis. So it is normal that they may find different problems and complaints related to the same. And among those problems and complaints slow internet is a common problem which users face frequently. Personally even I have heard this complaint from many of my relatives and friends, and they are frequent too. I have faced this problem too and that also many times, and from my experience I can list out a few basic reasons behind this slow internet problem. One of them can be the reason behind your problem too. So let’s see what they are.

Check out your service plan: I have found this very common that many people take limited internet plan to save money which becomes slow after certain usage. For example many companies offer different kind of unlimited internet plans. Some plans are like X company will give unlimited internet but for first 4GB they will offer faster internet and then the speed will decrease as per the plan. So few people don’t understand their own usage and they start complaining about slow internet after they complete that limitation for faster internet. So as per my advice, first understand your internet usage and then understand your internet plan. Make sure it is not like I mentioned above. If you have high usage then you will surely get slow speed after certain usage in such kind of internet plan. So first thing is to check your internet plan.

Service provider: Make sure that the service provider you are using is giving proper speed in your area. It may be possible that same service provider gives faster speed in some other area but not the same speed in your area. Yes it is possible, so make sure that service provider you choose is best in your area. If possible take the demo from your neighbor or friends around you which are using the same internet provider. 

Auto updates on your computer: Now let’s move towards computer. People download lots of software. Some of them by default are set to auto updates. Same goes for operating system updates. Now whenever you start computer and connect it to internet all this software and operating systems start downloading available updates which will surely slowdown your internet speed. So make sure that you are not having that kind of software in more counts. If you are not fond of using latest software updates then it is better that you switch them off. Same goes for operating system. If you do not require latest updates then you can switch off the automatic updates. So take care of this auto update thing if it is not necessary for you.

Browser you use: These days you can download multiple browsers on your computer. Now let me tell you many of them are faster than those default browsers which come with different operating systems. So make sure that you download the best one which can give you faster internet experience. Personally I can advice you for Chrome which gives fast experience of internet surfing in compare of others. So make sure you are not using out dated and slow browser. 

Make sure your system is virus free: If your computer is infected with some kind of virus then it is possible that it starts giving you slow internet speed. So make sure that it stays virus free. For that you can use best available antivirus. Sometime after getting virus problem on computer it is not possible to get a virus-free system even after downloading antivirus. So best solution for this problem is to back up all of your important data and format your PC completely. This will surely turn your PC like it was before. After formatting PC make sure that you install good antivirus so that you can keep your system virus free.

Low configuration computer: Well if you having old configured computer then it is possible that it may not respond well tor those new software made for new gadgets. In this case because of more processing load, it can give you slow internet problem and other problem like hanging. So make sure that you are not using too old computer, and if you are using one of them then make sure you don’t go for latest update of any software.

Check out network strength: People use internet using different methods and tools. Some use wifi and some use USB dongles for the same. Now make sure that device which you use for internet is getting proper network in your sitting area. I mean if you are using it in close room which don’t have any open windows then it may possible that your internet device is not getting proper signals. In this case you will get slow internet speed. Same goes for wifi signal strength. If you are using wifi internet and if you are not getting strong enough signals then you will get slow internet speed than normal. So don’t forget to checkout network strength in the area you are using internet. If they are not strong enough then you can change your location for your work, I mean just changing the room at your place can do the trick.

Check out hardware stuff related to internet: If you are having all above stuff good and still you are getting slow internet speed then it may possible that hardware used for your internet connectivity is not well. The modem you used for internet connectivity can have some fault in it. Changing it can solve your slow internet problem. Similarly cables used in the modem and your computer for internet connectivity can have some problem. So make sure that hardware stuff used for internet connectivity is working well.

Weather problem: I have faced this issue many times with my network connection. If you have good internet connection and suddenly its speed goes down then bad weather can cause similar problem to it. During dark cloudy day or in heavy rain it is possible that you feel less internet speed than normal days. So don’t worry, this problem have no solution for the time being. It will be automatically solved when weather will be cleared. If you still face the same problem after clear weather then you can contact some expert or service provider for the solution.

Make sure to create password when you are using wifi: If you are using wifi router to use the internet on your computer or smart phone then make sure that you set password for that wifi router so no other people can connect your internet. I have seen many people don’t do it or they don’t know how to do it. But without password internet is not secure any one from your neighborhood can use it without your permission. More loads on wifi network can surely give you slow internet problem. Plus if you are having limited internet plan then such password protection is must otherwise your limited plan will be end in no time.

So this is it. You can have any of these reasons if you are facing slow internet problem. Make sure that all things are up to mark and I am sure you will solve your problem by yourself. These are the basic reasons which can give you slow internet connection. But still many people don’t know about them. Hope this will help you at some level.
