The recent issues with iPhone iOS 5 users losing battery life at drastic level is been dubbed "BatteryGate". Apple claims there is a bug in the software, but until they send out an update, you're stuck with trying to conserve your phone's battery by any means necessary. Now there are already tips and tricks on how to conserve battery life floating around the internet, or you can download the BatterySense app from Philips that will not only give you a better indication of where your phone's battery life is, but it will also offer up some advice on how to better keep your phone detached from the wall.
When you first open the app, you are presented with a number of squares that you can select to give you a more detailed look at your remaining battery life.

Tapping the "What if?" square gives you the ability to scroll up or down a scale to find out what you should or shouldn't do to drain battery life at that level. For instance, If I want to maintain my current 200 hours of standby time, BatterSense says I should "Turn off push notifications". At each level, you can flip through and see how much battery life is left for each action (talk time, watching videos, listening to music, etc) and gets tips on conservation.

In my opinion, BatterySense doesn't directly save you battery life, but it does arm you with on-the-fly information about your remaining battery life that will hopefully help you make decisions that could possibly help you extend you battery life. Information is power, and BatterySense for iPhone is free to download...nothing like free power.

Hidden iPhone Tricks: Secret Keyboard and Panoramic Photos
When people talk about iPhone secrets, they’re usually referring to little tricks and tips you might not have known about. But a couple new hidden iOS 5 features uncovered this week are much more hardcore, requiring some light hacking to unearth capabilities that Apple decided to bury–specifically, an alternate keyboard that includes spelling suggestions and a panorama mode for the camera.
(MORE: Siri Tricks and Tips: Do More with the iPhone 4S Virtual Assistant)
Neither hack requires jailbreaking, and I’ve tried them both on my iPhone 3GS, running iOS 5. Here’s how to get them on your iPhone:
Get Spelling Suggestions on the iPhone Keyboard
Fair warning: You’ll probably find this keyboard to be a nuisance. The spelling predictions aren’t very good, and if you don’t select from the suggestions on top, you have to type “confirm” to enter the word, then hit spacebar. But at least your friends will be impressed. (Thanks to 9 to 5 Mac for this.)
1. Download iBackupBot, but don’t run it yet.
2. Plug in your iPhone, open iTunes, click on the device, and choose “Back up to this computer.” Then click “Sync.”
3. Install and run iBackupBot, and click on the latest backup for your iPhone.
4. Locate “Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist” (You may want to click “Path” to sort files alphabetically). Click “Cancel” in the dialog box that appears when you choose the file path.
5. Under the line that reads “”, insert another line that reads “KeyboardAutocorrectionLists ” (without quotations), then add another line beneath it that reads “YES .” Close the file and save your progress.
6. Click “File” from the iBackupBot menu, and choose “Restore.” Be patient, and wait for the iPhone to restart after the restore is complete.
Take Panoramic Photos from the iPhone’s Camera
Although I got the Panorama function working on my iPhone 3GS, I couldn’t take a single photo without the camera crashing. (There’s a reason Apple keeps these things hidden.) You may have better luck on a newer iPhone. (Hat tip to FunkySpaceMonkey.)
1. Follow steps one through three from above.
2. Locate “Library/Preferences/com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist.”
3. Just after line 36, which reads “,” start a new line that reads “EnableFirebreak , then add another line underneath it that reads “YES ,” all without quotations. Close the file and save your progress.
4. Click “File” from the iBackupBot menu, and choose “Restore.”
If you want to undo these changes, just go into iBackupBot and remove the lines of code you added, then restore the phone again. And if you want panoramic photos on your iPhone without the hassle, you can get Photosynth or 360 Panorama from the App Store.

PaperShare Launches 'Social Content Network' For IT Pros
Executives from PaperShare, a new social media site that launched Monday, believe the poor signal-to-noise ratio on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter inhibits their value for professionals. Their mission is to connect IT industry vendors, VARs, analysts and other professionals using content-driven discussions instead of inane photos of cats and Halloween costumes.
So far, more than 5,000 people have joined PaperShare, which has been in beta for the past several months. Members so far have uploaded more than 27,000 documents, including case studies, analyst reports, documents, presentations, videos and applications, PaperShare CEO David Greschler said in an interview.
"We call it a 'social content network'," said Greschler, former co-founder of Softricity and director of virtualization strategy at Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT), who joined PaperShare in June.
Douglas Brown, founder and CTO of PaperShare, says content authors sometimes find it difficult to make their work more engaging. PaperShare, he said, identifies compelling content by keeping track of which of its members are viewing what content, and how often.
"Experts can vet their content against industry thought leaders, and the end result is that you can find better content faster," said Brown.
Brown said the first version of PaperShare focuses on cloud and virtualization ecosystem. Within that heading are granular categories such as application performance monitoring, high availability clustering, mobile virtualization and performance and capacity monitoring.
"It's very easy to start connecting and getting down to exactly the type of information you want," said Brown, adding that PaperShare is working on adding database, security, finance and healthcare sections to the site.
PaperShare is also a platform for partner-to-partner networking, and Entisys, Hogan Consulting, IPM Networks and INX are actively participating in discussions, Greschler said.
"Social media sites are mainly profile led, but PaperShare offer greater professional value because it's content led," said Steve Kaplan, vice president of data center virtualization practices at INX, a Dallas, Texas-based solution provider. "It's a great place to hop on and check out a whitepaper or article."
Distribution is a key feature for PaperShare and a point of differentiation from other social media sites, Brown said. "The way distribution works on PaperShare, companies can put links and widgets on their site so that when they update that content, their changes get exposed to other sites," he said.
Online discussions are susceptible to stealth marketing by vendors and their agenda-pushing partners, and PaperShare accounts for this possibility by exposing the profile of the person contributing, indicating what other discussions they've contributed to and what content they've uploaded, Brown said.
"When you look at a person's profile, you can see a lot about who they are, what kinds of awards they've won, what certifications they have, and what other groups they've joined," he said. "When people log into PaperShare, they have to authenticate themselves. We don’t let them in unless they do."
PaperShare offers free and premium versions for individuals, and charges $10 per month or $100 per year for the latter. The company also offers basic and premium versions for businesses, both of which involve levels of company assisted promotion on the PaperShare site. Pricing for business versions hasn't been announced.
