Battery Performance is pretty bad...With everything shut off ( 3G, Wifi, GPS, Push Mail, Brightness dimmed) I have to charge between 5 hours of usage ...( 2 hours of call time included) I got the Free Memory Application. What I noticed is once you open and quit applications like iPod, Safari and Mail, they still run in background. This is shown by Free Memory. The only way to quit these applications is to turn off the phone!!! So everytime i use ipod/mail/safari, I really have to turn off the phone to quit these applications. Are you guys facing the same issue???...Can you pls advise on how to get this right? Is that the reason why battery is discharging so fast??</p> Hi,

Uhm yea on my iPhone 3g my apps have been crashing like instantly I reset it 3 times restored it 4 times it's still happening..so if anybody could please help me with this problem that would be great. I'd also like to add that I used a friends iTunes account to update an app or two and buy an app or two because there had been an issue with mine and I'm not jailbroken either.</p> Hey guys.
