Battery heating and dying rapidly

My bb curve 8520 is about a year old.  3 days ago i noticed the battery went from 100% to 0% in a span of some minutes.  i recharged the battery and noticed it kept doing the same thing.  I then replaced the battery thinking it had run its course but the problem persists.  I have no open programs running and no new applications installed that might be using up the battery. the phone gets warm and the battery dies rapidly. Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks.

If the battery has been replaced and the phone is overheating while not on charge it shows there is a fault with the handset.
You'll have to go to your network provider/insurance provider to arrange a replacement handset.
Hope this helps

  • Battery, heat, and ringer issues

    I recently purchased the Iphone 4s.. this is my first iphone
    I did the update that Apple sent out to help the battery and it seems like it worse then before the update??  My phone has been off the charger for 45 minutes, I sent 1 text message, and had 1 phone call.  The percentage is now at 87.  It the last 2 minutes i have watched it go down 2%?  Is this normal?  Also, the phone gets REALLY hot...
    If not, what do I do now??
    Also, I keep missing phone calls because I don't hear the phone ring... but the ringer is all the way up..
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    We've got the same issues, the BBM contacts went, now the BB won't charge ... we've tried all ways to get it to charge ... typically it's just over a month old so we can't get a full refund ... we are on here trying to find out what we need to do as we can't obtain a telephone number for BB customer services nor an email address only a tweet address which I haven't downloaded onto my handset.  So am stuck!!! Any and all advice very gratefully received as seriously peeved with BB models now.  My first BB was fantastic ... but all newer models have had problems ... think BB needs to ensure that all techy problems are fully ironed out prior to launching their new BB handset!
    1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.
    2. Orange is your tech support contact and any issue which they cannot resolve, they should escalate up to BlackBerry tier two tech support, or you should ask/demand that.

  • Battery Purging and Over heating Phone!

    WHAT?!!  I have assumed that my LG Revolution spontaneously purging the entire battery charge at once then over heating and shutting down was a hardware issue!  Now I find that it is the result of yet ANOTHER OS SOFTWARE upgrade issue?!  OMG are you kidding me?!!  I have been PLAGUED with problems since I was forced to upgrade my android OS to 2.3.6 through Verizon!  I am ready to make ANY change I have to escape this plague!!  I PAY WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for android smart phones and premium service through a so called 'premium' provider to have to put up with economy freakin performance Verizon!!!
    I am especially disappointed in Verizon since I took the phone all the way to their coorporate store 5 months ago and all they did was scratch their heads!  They tried to sell me a new battery which also immediately commenced to over heat; so of course the next course of action was to try and sell me a NEW PHONE!
    I've been sitting here with a DEAD VERIZON phone all day AGAIN trying to rescucitate it!!  ****, that **!

    Thank you Verizon; you're right.  Buying a new phone is the fix!  I bought a brand new LG Spectrum at the Verrizon store yesterday and my old LG Revolution immediately began to work perfectly again. That was the fix.  Of course....
    You think this is messed up?  It just gets weirder.  Before going to bed last night I took my new LG Spectrum off a 4 hour charge because it was full.  It slept all night.  When I checked it in the morning it had one missed call and 6 emails; that's it.  The battery charge however was completely on EMPTY!  OMG!!??  What the....?  Yesterday I was rather puzzled by how exceptionally warm/hot it felt while on charge.  The charger plug also felt the same.  It's on charge right now using the supplied charger but I changed it to a different outlet.  It's still very warm/hot.  I'm befungled!!  I live in a 1/2 million $ condo packed with properly working electronics' so it's certainly not a source problem.
    More weirdness:  yesterday I was downloading and re-installing programs and updates to reload my new phone.  A couple of hours later it went on an all out download splurge all on it's own, one after another it was a stream of unwanted downloads I couldn't stop.  I turned off wi-fi, but eventually had to shut down the phone right in the middle of processes..... not a good.   (UPDATE:  solved this issue.  I discovered that all the bloatware pre-installed on the phone further imposes itself by ALSO being set to 'auto update' itself. Oh! cool!  and check this out: it won't let you uninstall any of that sh*t!  Cool huh?   Thanks LG or is it Verizon; I want to be sure to give due credit to whomever is responsible for that *** idea!)
    My new not-so smartphone phone, less than 24 hours old, is already fouled. 
    UPDATE:  5 hours later.  No phone call usage today.  Emails, texts, a few downloads, and some new phone setup configuring today.  Phone is dead after 5 hours of use.  Took old phone off 1 hour charge and of course it was as cool as a cucumber, plugged in new phone and it became hot within minutes.  I think that the solution is to just go back to using landlines....
    Attached below is a photo showing the EKG of the entire life of my NEW phone.  1 day and 7 hours.  Hmph?  And I am already in the forums.  Anyone know what the record is?

  • Battery life and Heating up problems

    After updating to mavericks , it seems that my macbook pro is always heated and the battery life got shorter even if I'm not using any app... anyone could help me ?

    Hello Jeskar,
    It sounds like you are seeing a decrease in battery life after upgrading to Mavericks. I would start by resetting the computers SMC, and evaluating the issue for a bit to see how that worked;
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    You may also have to use the Activity monitor to see if you have any run away applications.
    OS X Mavericks: About the Battery Status Menu
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5873
    When one or more apps consume higher than average energy from the battery, the menu shows "Apps Using Significant Energy" with a corresponding list of those applications.
    Some apps may use significant energy depending on what they are doing. This is normal. For example, if you are compressing video in iMovie, or playing a graphics-intensive game, the app may use a higher amount of energy than other apps. If you are trying to conserve battery power, quit apps listed in the significant energy section. 
    If you suspect that an app is appearing in the significant energy section because it is not functioning properly, try quitting and re-opening that app. If the symptom continues, open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder to troubleshoot further. The Energy tab of Activity Monitor displays the Energy Impact of each open app based on a number of factors including CPU usage, network traffic, disk activity and more. The higher the number, the more impact an app has on battery power.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Ingress software or iPhone issue over app crash and battery heating up

    Hi all
    As you know the ingress games requires you to keep the phone while moving around to recharge the XM, and of course that reduce dramatically the battery, so I do carry a battery pack or two.
    Recently, when the phone is kept on for a few hours my iPhone 4s automatically shut down, or even crash the ingress app. and the phone heats up after kept on for over just over 3 hrs, and sometimes beyond this the phone shuts down.
    Does anyone have this battery heating up issues or automatic shutting down after hours of keeping the phone on even connected to a battery pack?

    While on the HOME screen double-press the Home button. The Quick Launch bar will appear on the bottom of the screen. Hold any icon until they all display "-", then tap the "-" on each one until they are all gone.
    Next, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears.
    BTW, this assumes your phone is not jailbroken. If it is then that is your problem, and you will have to find solutions somewhere else, as it can't be discussed in an Apple-hosted forum.

  • Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power?  Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

    Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power?  Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

    This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago.   Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again.   You might want to clear your cache before reloading.  Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try.  Good Luck

  • MacBook Alum battery heating up while being charged and used

    MacBook Alum battery heating up while being charged and used at the same time.
    Is this normal? Or is it only mine? :S

    The battery itself as in the bottom left side of the notebook or the white magsafe adapter that is actually plugged in? Either way, it is supposed to get warm unless you are talking burning hot on fire. Then of course it is a little too warm.

  • My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

  • TiBook battery got unusual heat and melted it's casing..should i call support?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to this community and I need some opinions.
    I have Ti Powerbook G4 (550Mhz) I bought brand new 10 or 11 years ago.
    I still in love with this Titanium beauty and still use this for browsing internet.
    (Amazingly, it still works just fine to do)
    I bought macbook air few month ago but there is "something" about this
    Titanium baby.
    Anyway, I was using my Tibook few days ago on my lap and I felt
    unusual heat (it was very very hot) on my lap. I flipped it and check out
    the buttom of my Tibook and WOW, the battery casing was started to melting,
    so I just took the battery out of my Tibook.
    The battery casing melted a bit (looks like cigarette burn from inside) so I am keeping this
    battery in safe place just incase it caught fire.
    This battery is not aftermarket, this is original battery came with my Tibook when I bought it
    brand new.
    I googled this problem and I didnt find any battery problem with Tibook 550mhz model.
    Should I report this problem to customer support? Does Apple still sell genuine battery for this Tibook?
    This is my first battery problem and after this happening, I am very scared to buy thirdparty's

    I wouldn't bother customer support.  The fact that you got a decade or more out of the battery makes it an outlier in longevity.  Not a lot of those batteries make it that far, though some seem to be remarkably blessed.  One of mine tanked in three and a half years (without melting, at least), one is remarkably robust and one is still quite serviceable at eight years, and the two aftermarket batteries are still holding up (though one is only a year old or so).
    I got the 75 Watt-Hour model for the TiBooks at OWC last year and it is quite durable.  Apple hasn't sourced Titanium PowerBook batteries for years, I suspect they were "off the shelves" by 2006, as that was when I bought my first aftermarket unit.  I have seen good comments on the OWC batteries on these discussions, though you might want to wait for others to chime in.

  • The cause of the whine, heating and short battery life.

    It seems like we've discovered how we could fix the whine, heating and the short battery life.
    If you take a look at /var/log/System.log
    You will find this line:
    localhost configd[37]: com.apple.SystemConfiguration.DynamicPowerStep load failed
    Yes, that's right. Intel SpeedStep is not implemented in Mac OS X.
    It seems like Apple wanted to implement it, either the engineer in charge of it was screwed up or apple was hurrying to get macbook pro released...
    This also explains why Macbook pro has a higher battery life, runs cooler without whine on a properly configured Windows XP (with updated intel drivers and microsoft hotfix). On Windows XP, when the system is Idle, CPU is throttled to 1GHz.
    So we have two options:
    1. Get Apple to implement it correctly - but so far it doesnt seem like apple is really concerned about this issue. Or rather, they don't seem to care.
    2. Implement it ourselves - A guy called Cryptonome was trying to implement the proper power management for MacBook Pros on Mac OS X to solve these "CPU whine", heating and battery life problems, and he did have some fruitful results, but it seems like he's currently too busy or something to finish the implementation.
    Unfortunately I am not a genius so I cannot implement anything like this... anyone?
    What do you guys think?

    That's exactly what I am doing : expecting a solution from Apple. And you know what, Apple today released a new system update for the keyboard. This update is for all the MacTels including MacBook Pro. And guess the next thing... This update fix a power draw in the MacBook USB... Great... Oh, no, in fact not so great because this bug is THE bug that allows to stop the whine (through Mirror, etc)...
    Is there anyone in Apple that tests fixes before to release them ? Do those engineers working on the whine fix have given a look to that patch ? I really hope that Apple is doing something, but releasing this Keyboard patch for MBP now can mean 3 things (IMHO) :
    - the whine patch is on the final steps and will be released soon, so killing the workarounds for the whine is not a problem,
    - or Apple has a partial (or even none) knowledge about this problem, and they should hire better engineers, because many people made a lot of discovers about this whine, not beeing engineers,
    - or Apple definitly doesn't care about this whine problem, and they will loose myself as a customer (and probably others).

  • IPhone 5S Getting Heated and Battery Drain issue

    From Past 2 Days , my iPhone is been getting heated and the battery drain is 1% per minute.
    Earlier When i used to put it on standby it used to be only a drop by 1-2 % through out night. Now it has gone down to -35% to 40% drain.
    I have tried
    -Resetting all settings
    - Restoring to fresh new iPhone
    -let my battery down to 0 and then charge it to 100% again
    But Nothing Helped, i am out of the country for work and i visit an apple store here.
    Any Suggestions, How do i Fix it?

    I have a VERY similar issue to extremecoder...
    Iphone 5s 16gb (purchased from Apple Online U.K. on 8th December 2013) was fine until the last two days onwards. I am now getting incredibly quick battery drain. The image is a screenshot taken this morning. Phone was charged to 100% last night and used for an hour or so, with battery level on 50%. I then switched off overnight as I always do.
    Turned it back on again this morning and was at 48%!
    Now look at it.    Do I have a case here for a replacement phone?
    P.S. Location services, bluetooth etc all off as they always are. Nothing has changed at all in my usage habits with the phone.

  • Over heating and battery drain on iPhone 4 after iOS 7.1 update

    I am facing heavy battery drain and overheating after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 7.1
    The battery discharges @ 1% for every minute - when not in use / idle. The handset stays uncomfortably warm. The background app refresh, location services, screen brightness etc have been switched off/kept to the minimum. Though there is significant improvement in responsiveness. There were no battery/overheating  issues with iOS 7.0.6.
    Have reset all settings, switched on/off, given a hard boot (power button + home button) but no use.
    Suggestions to resolve this are welcome.

    This is not a software issue!!!. Yes, it may cause by the software update.. I had the same issue with my Iphone5 after 7.1.. I went crazy .. seeing my battery draining 1% a minute without using it.. and it took more than 7 hours to charge completely. Worst my IPhone was out of warranty cant take it back to Apple to have it fixed.
    Things already did -
    I changed the battery
    Restored the phone
    Switched to setting basically nothing
    Waited for 7.1.1 to come out and then update the phone
    But none of these helped at all
    So i rolled the last dice.. took my phone to a local technician (in Philippines). They said none of the above will resolve the issue.
    What exactly went wrong was the - USB POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER IC U2 was busted. Once this was replaced my phone worked just fine. in fact I was amazed with the results.
    My phone charged 100% from 20% in less than 60 minutes.
    Now my battery lasts for more than 15 hours ( i do not use mobile data only Wi-Fi)
    So if your phone is out of warranty no harm in getting this part replaced. If within warranty you may get a replacement handset.
    Now to what causes this as per the technician " Every update from apple tries to exclude accessories that are not certified, and you do get the pop up that this accessory may not be supported" continue to use the charger will fry the IC U2 .
    Hope this Helps goodluck
