Hello,
I am concerned about battery life on my ageing iPhone 3GS running the latest
level of IOS 6 (IOS 7 does not work on the 3GS).
I know that reducing screen brightness increases battery life. If I set screen
curtain on does that have the same effect as setting screen brightness to 0? If
I
I would put the screen brightness to 0 then adjust it where necessary.
Screen curtain only puts a virtual curtain around your screen and
doesn't affect how it contrasts.

I'm trying to remember. Is my pause on my left ear, or is that on my right
ear. I get those two buttons confused.
I know the right ear will hang up a call if pushed quickly and released, but
my pause, and my mute, I don't totally remember.
If you can refresh my memory, I'll give it a try
Right hand side for me, anyway. When I have them on, to answer a call, I
pressed the button on my left ear. Is that the right way round to wear them?

I would think that screen curtain being on would save more battery life, as
I'm sure that even when it is set to zero, display processes are still being
sent to the screen, and when screen curtain is on, I'm guessing that the
processes are not calculated by the processor.

Last I heard, the official word from Apple Accessibility was that the IOS
screen curtain has no effect on battery life. BTW, though I’ve done no official
testing, my personal experience leads me to believe this also holds true for
the MacOS screen curtain on Macbooks.

I exclusively use the screen curtain, and the battery life on my phone
exceeds expectation.
I use the iPhone 5 with the latest update, and apps update automatically,
and my bluetooth and WIFI are always on.

Press VO+HH to get to the VoiceOver Commands help menu, then type screen
curtain to narrow the results. At this point VO should announce the shortcut
key VO+Shift+F11 and, if you’d like, you can press Return to toggle the screen
curtain or press escape to exit the VO Commands Help menu.
HTH,
I'm not sure if you can! where them backwards with how they're designed. A
way you can know they're on correctly is your power switch and USB charger
port should be under your thumb, not under your index finger.

Another way is to turn on trackpad commander, then 3 finger tripple tap on
the trackpad.

Yes, I’ve heard this anecdote from a number of different folks over the years.
Unfortunately, AFAIK none of these folks have produced any hard evidence to
show that turning the screen curtain on actually increases battery life. I’d
love to see a controlled and replicable study to either prove
Good point. Somehow I keep forgetting about the trackpad sitting right there
under my thumbs. :)

Did pausing work for you? It's not urgent, was just curious why pause any
audio. Siri does not seem to work too well with them. But they are great for
listening to audiobooks.

Bryan, I might be wrong on this, so please don't quote me here, but if I am
understanding things correctly, I don't think it saves battery life, and
here's why more specifically:

Here's one more tip I have for ya, actually. Another thing you can do is...

The thing about any testimonials is they are all subjective. Someone else
using the screen curtain exclusively may not get as good of battery life
because of battery care, or the lack there of.

Chris,
I believe that the screen curtain turns off the back-light, thus making it
black, like it is when there is no power to the phone.
There is no black in terms of pixels, there are colored pixels that get
back-light, or no light behind them, thus causing blackness.

Hi!
I’ve already bugged this the first time I browsed with iOS using Safari when
iOS 7 was released. I’m sure they’ll get around to it, but I wish it’d be
sooner rather than later, since it really is an ugly experience.
I’m using another browser for the time being, and it works, but it’s

Hi,
If you are using any bluetooth headset to listen to Audible, pause only works
if you are playing the Audible book at normal speed. If you speed up the book,
this breaks the pause function.
When I reported this to Audible, they did some testing and said that it was
Apple’s problem.
