Battery Dying too fast!

Hello! I have have my curve 9300 for just over a year now and my battery lasts 6 hours tops. I do not have bluetooth on, or any gps on. I have no applications running in the background either. I don't use any social media on my device.
The problem started late Februry, I wondered why isn't my phone holding a charge? I asked my service provider one day and they said I needed a new battery. They charged my phone for half an hour and it was fixed! My phone could go for 3 days without needing a charge.
Now it's back to its old habits! At school I will have it turned off and it will be dead at the end of the day. I need a solution! I've tried removing my battery and SIM card, nothing seems to help, and I don't understand why it was fine for 3 weeks after telus charged it for me.
Any help other then the obvious tips about background apps running would be much appreciated!!

Have you tried letting it trickle charge and let the iPod charger until theres a plug at the right corner of the screen where the battery is? If that doesn't help, then the battery will have to be replaced ($79 if out of warrenty). http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html

the battery lost too fast ，the battery lost fast even though i have did nothing

Be sure to turn off push notifications for apps you don't need. This will always run even when your phone is locked and you quit all apps. Also, I noticed that turning on the orientation lock when apps support landscape and you don't need it also helps to save some battery.

IPod Touch battery draining too fast?

Recently, the battery life on my iPod touch has been draining too fast. Before I synced my iPod into my new laptop with a new iTunes, my battery life was very long, as I could go on for weeks before it was below 20%. Now, I can go from 100% down to 10% in under a minute.
Even if I charge overnight or have 100%, any time my iPod is unlocked, the battery drains fast. I've done several methods to try and solve the problem, such as deleting apps, lowering brightness, turn off background apps, and even bought the battery life app (which I've had before but it seems to do nothing now). Whether I use the camera, play a game, or surf the internet, the battery bar will go down really fast. Sometimes I'll have half of battery life left and all of a sudden, my iPod turns off because it instantly went frm 50% to 0%. Even harmless actions such as the clock or just staying on the home screen will drain more battery than it usually does. The music app seems to be the only one that can last longer than an hour, but even then, just leaving it in the background will deplete the battery faster than usual, as opposed to it being in the background for hours and not taking away any percentage.
My iPod still recharges normally (and quickly), and for some reason if I lock my iPod while it has a low percentage, when I unlock it again, a lot of battery is regained... and then lost almost immediately.
I'm not sure if this has to do anything with me syncing to a new iTunes. I'm still under the same username and whatnot, and all I did was use home sharing to import all of my music from the old computer to the new one, so I wouldn't have to constantly go to my old computer to sync with my iPod.
I currently use a 4th generation iPod touch with 8GB.
I'm just wondering, what can I do to solve this issue, to return it to how it was before? As of now, I can't afford to replace the iPod, and I'm willing to send my iPod for repair as a last resort.
Thanks.

However, I suspect that your battery is just dying/wearingout. That happens with age and use.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $15

Battery Died so fast.

A few days ago, I was shutting down my laptop. I didn't check if the laptop turned off. But the next day, my battery died. It had the blinking orange battery. The AC adapter doesn't charge it anymore. I still have my warranty under November. It hasn't been a year yet. I'm wondering how I go about getting my battery replaced.
Any info will help.
Thanks,
Mike

Samsung Galaxy S3 Battery Dying Extremely Fast - After 4.3 Update

I have been struggling with this same issue, have killed all unnecessary apps, cleared the cache, performed a factory reset and even tried a new battery, and still have an issue where after a full charge, my battery would drain to around 90% in less than 30 minutes. Sometimes, even faster.
It seems that nobody has been able to nail down a solution, so I attempted to contact Samsung to see what their suggestions might be.
The conversation I had with an agent basically sums up like this:
There's nothing they can do because they do not have reports of this issue and request that I send in my phone to be physically examined.
So, Samsung basically told me to send it in and see if they can do anything about it. I don't have the insurance set up on my account, so I can't hold that in place, and I have no other way to get in touch with people and have a small child, so I can't exactly just mail off my phone for them to examine it. So, basically, Samsung is avoiding the issue and we still have no true resolution.
If anyone has any other ideas, fixes, things I can attempt without having to send my phone in for someone to "examine", it would be greatly appreciated.
Please note that I have deleted/uninstalled/cleared cache on many apps, finally completely reset the phone to factory settings and then tried a brand new battery, and the drainage is still extremely significant.

Simple fix. No. Seriously. I had this on mine and the fix worked like a charm.
I appologize in advance that I do not have screenshots, so I'll do my best to step by step describe this as best as possible. The culprit is your e-mail app (not g-mail --- e-mail). I don't know the specifics, but it has issues with syncing between Yahoo accounts and Google accounts and it supposedly causes the e-mail client on your phone to run CONSTANTLY to try to sync. This will drain your battery like crazy.
No. This process never shows up in the battery useage thingy that they had you check. It is a background app process and won't show there. Sorry VZ people, but your normal tech magic has no power here. This is a known bug with Android 4.3.
You have to disable the sync, but this has the unintended effect of rendering your e-mail app useless since it will no longer get your e-mails for you, even if you manually sync it. Just download the Yahoo Mail app and you'll be fine. (or whatever other e-mail service you're using).
From your In-Box, touch the menu button to the left of the home button. The menu comes up with "Sort By", "View As", "Font Size", and "Settings" -- Touch "Settings"
Under the settings menu, you should see "+Add Account" at the top and "Account Settings" with your e-mail address directly under that. Go ahead and click that. It should bring up another menu with your e-mail address and a green check mark beside it. Touch your e-mail address to open its settings.
The top option is "Sync Settings" - that is the one that we want... click it. You should see "Sync E-mail" at the top and below it, it will say "Master sync has been turned off" and there should be a green check in the box to the right. Touch the green checkmark to fix the issue. The green check should be on and it should now say "Sync turned off."
You've now fixed the problem and disabled your e-mail app from sucking your battery. Not sure why it sets up like that, but with the Master Sync turned off, your e-mail app will try endlessly to sync with the other services via master sync and it will never be able to.... so it keeps running and running and running. Sucks.
Now that you're fixed, just get a service specific e-mail app and be happy with a phone that doesn't die in an hour!!!!
Keep in mind that you will still need to monitor things like Wifi being on when you're not connected to Wifi, GPS, and screen brightness. Those will drain it quickly too.
I used to be able to unplug my phone @ 100% and litterally watch it drop without even unlocking it. Now, I can use it casually/semi-hard all day at work and still go home with 40-50% of a battery.
Best of luck!

Why is my ipod touch 4 generation battery dying so fast?

Ok, I recieved a refurbished iPod touch 4 gen from Apple after my previous ipod touch 4 gen had problems with the home button not responding. This "new" ipod works great, but recently I've been having problems with the battery... I downloaded the recent update for fixing numerous things with the ipod touch from Apple... And itworks great again... But I'm curious as to WHY my battery is loosing its charge so fast... I'll be playing ANGRY BIRDS SPACE on my ipod for like 20-30 minutes, with the screen brightness lowest that it could go and on a full charge, then press the home button and the battery is half gone! should I set up a repair with Apple? Or is this normal? I just hate going through the whole process of the repair and then getting an ipod that may not work as good as this one... I do have a lot of memmory on my ipod, its a 32 GB, black, not dropped or scratched, 9.9 Gb is used for: 6 movies, 17 apps, and 67 songs... The apps listed previous DO NOT include the already downloaded apps, such as: Calendar and camara etc... Ohh too i dont have any photos stored on my ipod either. Please respond! Thanks!

Hi claire-bare,
Here is a link for the Apple phone support folks. I would give calling them a shot - I had better luck with them when I had a problem (back in the day) with my iPad 1 when I first got it. I had taken it down to the Apple Store because it kept getting a "not charging" indicator whenever I tried to charge it. They provided a temporary fix (one that worked for about a day) and then it started up again. Since I am over an hour away from the store, I called the support line, and after some redundant troubleshooting (but necessary for the tech to ensure that things were not right), they sent me a new iPad, a box to return the old one, and a number to call UPS for a pick-up. Really nice guy I worked with and he really worked hard to get things right for me. So, here is the list of worldwide support numbers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57#U
I'm a big Bar Harbor fan too! We live a couple of hours away, but what a beautiful place to go. Not sure you'd want to be here right now....we got snow a couple of days ago. But, things are looking up - snow's now all melted, and spring is definitely around the corner....so maybe in a couple of weeks or so?
Hope you have a good experience with the phone support folks - I think you will....

Iphone 4s battery draining too fast

I just received my iphone 4s and I have upgraded from my 3s, after holding on for so long I am so disappointed with the battery life. after 2 phone calls the battery drains 15 %, I have turned off all the features to make sure it lasts me at least till I can charge it again. any solutions out there, off course apple says there is no problem, just like we have no problems with the economy.

Quick fix for you!!!!!!
Go to settings//Location Services//System Services//turn "Setting time Zone" and "Diagnostic & Usage" OFF.
These things will drain you to Zero fast. and tell Apple there is an issue with the Setting Time Zone feature.
Its constantly locating your phone second by second when it's suppose only work when you leave one time zone and go to another.

IPod Mini battery dying too quickly

I got an iPod Mini very recently, on September 14, 2005. I read in the User's Manual that it would take about a month for the battery to go from completely charged to completely drained if I didn't use it at all. Well, I charged my iPod fully on Tuesday or so, and by this morning it was 3/4 drained - after no more than 6 days of not being used!
Also, the battery seems to die very quickly when I'm playing music on my iPod. It's supposed to have 18 hours of playback, but after about four hours total, it was very close to being drained. I know the battery metre is approximate, but I doubt it's 14 hours off.
I'm really hoping this isn't normal, because I don't use my iPod that much and I don't want to have to recharge it every week even when it's not being used, or every day when it IS being used.
So my question is...is this normal? Or should I take the iPod back to where I bought it and get it exchanged? Any other advice?

This is ridiclous. A lot of people seem to be having the same problems. I mean as it states 18hrs of playback it should be. I have the same problem and dont even use it much. When fully charged I only get about 4-5 hrs playback. I went back to where I got it and they told me to contact Apple as they dont have any more dealings with you as its between aple and the consumer. I have contacted them now. It also has stopped working for me since yesterday. I knew there was half of the battery left so when I went to turn it on, theres no response from it. The screen stays blank. I also plugged it into PC and its not being recognised on my iTunes. Its powerless and Ive tried all their recommendations but to no avail.

Why is my battery dying so fast

The battery is fully charged and once i take it off the charger it goes down to about 50% in about an hour. i make sure there are no apps open in the background and it just keeps going down.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
It's odd that it drops so fast so I question first is it really charging to full. I would question if the battery, cable, wall plug or wall outlet is bad. You can try to isolate these and narrow down the suspects. First use a different wall outlet. Sometimes one will go bad and you don't know it. Then try to borrow a cord and wall plug. Change only one to see if it makes a difference and if not try the other.
If none of these have worked then I would take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Service Center o be checked out. Maybe someone else on the forum has something else that might help. Good luck!

Does my battery drain too fast or is it still ok?

Well, I've earned an used iPhone and its battery lasts for 5 hours of use, more or less. I think it's worn out, but once it's my first iPhone, I can't say for sure. Could someone please tell me if this is normal or if I should replace the battery?

Even a good battery can die within a few hours of use. It all depends on how the phone is being used. There is a battery replacement program for some iPhone 5's. Enter your serial number here and see if you qualify.

You can also go into setting > general > usage > battery usage. Let the list populate and it will show you which app is using the most battery usage.

If you do think you need a new battery then have it done at either an Apple store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider. There are no user serviceable parts in a iPhone.

5230 battery discharging too fast

Hi, I have an 1 month old 5230 model. It has a disturbing issue, sometimes the battery is discharging very fast.
Details: Sometimes the battery holds up to 3 days (even though I speak normally and use it for small applications, no internet). But, if I open one of these applications GPS, Camera or Games (which consumes a lot of power) the battery goes down rapidly in less than 12 hours. Don't get this wrong, because when I say open I don't mean use them, I mean open for couple of seconds and close it afterwards (with exit command so the application don't run in the background).
I understand what it means to use a GPS or the camera or playing games for the power consumption , but the problem is that the battery continue to drop down even after closing those applications. This is happening while the back of the phone is hot, which is not before opening this applications.
The only solution I have found so far is to shutdown the phone after using this applications. But this is no way near ease of use, is like shutting down the pc after each program you use.

if your battery is getting hot id be worried ,take it to where you bought it and ask for a replacement once you have your reciept,if they dont help send it to a nokia care centre and they will examine the phone under your warranty
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
