Find my iPhone

I got a question... I understand that if I want this app to work I gotta keep my data on! When I slide SBsettings I see the data... My question is: Does that take alot of battery?

No it doesn't eat up battery at all. I have mine on all the time and i've never noticed any change in my battery daily supply.

Having data on will use up more battery that having it turned off. However, find my iPhone doesn't use up any battery by itself...

no it does not.. and its always best to have it on as you never know when you will lose or have your iphone stolen.. what if you lose it and then realise you had it turned off?

Having mobile data turned on uses up plenty of battey compared to having it off. Even more than just having 3G off.

Personally I only ever have wifi on or mobile data on. SB settings is great for swapping them delending on which I'm using. Also means if I lose my phone it will always have some sort of data connection...

yes sbsettings is a time saver.. i use this method with the bluetooth and celeste that really chew up the battery.. also you can get an app in cydia that auto turns off the 3g when you lock the iphone

the app is called Auto 3g.. but since i use insomnia to keep my internet orking while locked i dont use it, but it sure does save battery if you cant be bothered to sit there turning it off/on
