iPod/iPhone battery life?

(1/2) > >>

RoadRanger:
I gave my iPod Touch with My Fader to the keyboardist yesterday - this is the first time I've run IEM's with it. The battery only seemed to last an hour or so :( . Is that normal when they are left "on"? It was outdoors so the brightness was up fairly high. I've had no problem with the iPads' battery life so assumed :facepalm: that the iPod Touch would be plenty for a two hour gig x( .

He had an iPhone but I didn't know how to deal with the security issues of demanding that he let me enter my network password and lock him out of all but his aux - plus convince him to disable auto connect. IMO having zero security on the DL1608 besides the network password sucks :( .

I have exactly the same concerns about letting my band mates have My Fader access to the DL.

BTW, I use the same workaround for the security problem by having an iPod Touch to hand out (though the plan is to give it to a mate for FOH when I'm playing). Battery life is poor at best  :(

In this particular case it was for the keyboard player who also plays guitar at opposite ends of the stage :o so needs to carry the iPod Touch back and forth. They also play two hour shows straight through so no break to put it on the charger x( . I ended up giving him my iPad Mini and undocking my iPad 2 for me to use.
