#Beating battery drain Stream video on your smartphone or use its GPS for an hour or two and you ll probably see the battery drain significantly.
As data rates climb and smartphones adopt more power-hungry features battery life has become a concern.
Now a technology developed by MIT spinout Eta Devices could help a phone s battery last perhaps twice as long
The primary culprit in smartphone battery drain is an inefficient power amplifier a component that is designed to push the radio signal out through the phones antennas.
Prepared to send sizeable chunks of data at any given time the amplifiers stay at maximum voltage eating away power more than any other smartphone component and about 75 percent of electricity consumption in base stations#and wasting
This means smartphone batteries lose longevity and base stations waste energy and lose money. But Eta Devices has developed a chip (for smartphones)
and a shoebox-size module (for base stations) based on nearly a decade of MIT research to essentially switch gears to adjust voltage supply to power amplifiers as needed cutting the waste.
Eta Devices has entered also conversations with major manufacturers of LTE-enabled smartphones to incorporate their chips by the end of next year.
Dawson says this could potentially double current smartphone battery life. Besides battery life Dawson adds there are many ways the telecommunications industry can take advantage of improved efficiency.

The Harvest phone case grabs the power your phone wastes and puts it back into the battery.
About 90%of your phone power is spent pumping out radio waves just trying to keep its wireless connection even
when youe not using it. The case arveststhose stray radio waves and converts them into electric power.

#The Latest Chat App for iphone Needs No Internet connection Mobile app stores are stuffed with messaging apps from Whatsapp to Tango and their many imitators.
But Firechat released last week for the iphone stands out. It s the only one that can be used without cellphone reception.
Firechat makes use of a feature Apple introduced in the latest version of its ios mobile software ios7 called multipeer connectivity.
This feature allows phones to connect to one another directly using Bluetooth or Wi-fi as an alternative to the Internet.
Micha Benoliel CEO and cofounder of startup Open Garden which made Firechat says the app shows how smartphones can be set free from cellular networks.
He hopes to enable many more Internet-optional apps with the upcoming release of software tools that will help developers build Firechat-style apps for iphone or for Android Mac and Windows devices.
so that data can hop between two iphones out of range of one another via intermediary devices.
However Benoliel says that won t be coming to the iphone anytime soon because the feature that Firechat relies on cannot be used to share data connectivity.
Peer-to-peer mobile communications and mesh networks could prove especially important in countries with minimal communications infrastructure.
and balloons but this is not going to solve the problem of ubiquitous mobile connectivity Benoliel says.
He argues that the spread of cheap Android phones across the world will make mesh networking feasible.
