Droid 4 battery reporting 90% then dying within a few minutes.

I have a droid 4 for about a month now, but lately it has just been dying for seemingly no reason. When I plug it in it shows batter at 5 percent. When I start it up it shows battery at 90%. Then it dies a few minutes later. I think when android is on I can't trust the battery reading. Do I need to replace the phone?

You most certainly shouldn't lose battery signal so rapidly, flagrant99.
Is there anything that was recently added to the Droid 4 that could deplete the battery life? Have you installed a battery saving application from the Play Store?
Is the phone charging normally? Are you using the wall charger vs. USB charger?
Here are some battery saving tips that you can use, but it honestly sounds like we may need to replace the battery for you as long as it hasn't been exposed to any liquid or physical damage.
If you'd like, I can ship the battery to you or you can go to a store to get a replacement (if they have them in stock).
If you want me to send it, feel free to DM me with your name/number.

    That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
    As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

    Erica from Apple support:  Your efforts to help on this subject are appreciated.  However, during my wait for your supervisor, just when I stepped away from my desk for a moment you must have picked up your phone again.  When I heard a noise (other than the hold music) I rushed back to my desk only to hear you hang up.  When the phone rang and the ANI said "Apple support" I tried to pick up but you were gone by the time I got the button pressed.
    Hopefully you'll see this note and leave a message on how to resolve this issue for me and the others from other similar questions posed on this forum.
    Thanks,

  • IPad won't turn on without power cable and when it does, it shuts down within a few minutes

    This last weekend I went to visit my sister and when I came back, my iPad was turned off. I turned it on again and all seemed fine but then within a few minutes, it went straight back off. It won't start up without the power cable attached, and when it does, it says "No WiFi" in settings, not "Not connected", but it's greyed out and says "No WiFi". I did a restore which went OK, but when I was restoring it shut off too and the restore didn't carry through. I'm really worried! I can't visit an Apple Store for a week, so I just wanted to see if I could get a rough idea of what the problem is now?

    Your iPad is in Recovery Mode.
    Follow the instructions here carefully:

  • I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this?

    As stated I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this? I need it for homework tonight.

    Crowntheme,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?

  • I have a one year old Macbook Air 13.  I have a brand new 22" external monitor.  When I connect my  external monitor it initially provides a nice display - very accurate and  no distortions.  But, within a few minutes the screen begins a incessant series

    I have a one year old Macbook Air 13.  I have a brand new 22" external monitor.  In turning the Macbook and monitor on, the monitor displays very well, but within a few minutes it begins this incessant blinking (temporary black out of the screen that lasts anywhere from 1-5 seconds).  This has been going on for a long time (it also happended with my older monitor which apparantly I threw out when I should have kept it thinking it was the problem).  From reading various blogs in the Apple support community, this appears to be a widespread problem, but I don't find a solution, only a lot of speculation.  I'm very surprised the Apple folks haven't figured this out.   As a new Apple user, heretofor, I have been very impressed with the support and effort to get fixes out to users.  This, however, has me frustrated to the point of junking my Mac and going back to a PC.  I love the Macbook Air and most of the functionality, but I cannot function without an external monitor. Anybody have any ideas, please help.  Frustrated, Jim

    Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
    Let me know if this worked for you.

  • TS3999 Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar?  Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

    Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar?  Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
    All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
    It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
    Thanks again.

  • My i phone 4 fell down and I can't connect to my provider.it also recharges itself within a few minutes and the back of the phone is really hot.what should i do?

    my i phone 4 fell down and I can't connect to my provider.it also recharges itself within a few minutes and the back of the phone is really hot. I tried to send it to the technical support but they told my that the reparationcosts will be higher than the actual price of a new phone.is this possible?

    Yes, it is entirely possible.
    Although in most countries Apple offers an out of warranty replacement for a nominal fee.  In the US it is $199 for the 4S and $149 for older generations of the iPhone.  Depending on where you are, that may be an option.

  • Since recent fixes fron you Thunderbird now downloads the same e mails twice from the server within a few minutes I use Windows live mail

    Since first using Thunderbird it worked ok but following recent upgrades/fixes it now downloads some e mails from the server twice within a few minutes. I have it set to check for new mail every 10 mins. I generally leave my e mails on the server but I deleted all mail from the server to try to fix this thinking it could be server side but the problem continues!

    Ok
    Item one.
    Live consider 15 minutes the minimum period to check mail . More frequent attempts are access denied and repeated attempts results in a request for your password as Thunderbird decides it obviously has it wrong.
    Item two'
    Disable email scanning in your anti virus program, It is by far the most common cause of duplicate mails being downloaded.

  • TS1398 My iPad will connect to our wireless but within a few minutes of not accessing it disconnects and I have to go into settings and turn wireless off and on everytime I want to reconnect.  It won't automatically pick up a connection

    I cannot stay connected to the wireless.  Everytime I am online it will disconnect if not accessed within a few minutes and I have to go into settings to turn wireless off than on again.  We have a security key that was added when I set up iPad and tried Internet provider help line but weren't able to figure it out.  Tried FaceTime and wouldn't connect even though I was getting a call request, but wouldn't connect and now FaceTime won't verify my apple I'd.

    It's very easy to update firmware; read the manual that comes with the router?

  • Wake On Lan only works within a few minutes

    Hi!
    I have a problem...I left my MacPro sleeping for a few hours and now it will not respond to wake on lan...It does work to wake within a few minutes but not after a few hours.
    Anyone have a solution for this? (I'n not using a router)

    Found the problem!! A nice person on logmein forums helped me. Thought i should post the solution in case somebody runs into this issue. I was forwarding the local IP of my computer (192.168.2.2) to a port (say port 9). It seems a router remembers the local IP's for a few minutes after the mac goes to sleep and after that its ARP table (which links MAC address to IP address) gets deleted. This is why it works for the first few minutes and not after that.
    So the local IP being forwarded should be the 'broadcast address' and not the local computer's LAN address. It seems for subnet mask 255.255.255.0 the broadcast for IP range 192.168.2.x takes place for x=255. So i changed the router settings to forward local IP 192.168.2.255 to port 9. And it started to work. Hopefully this should help anyone with the same issue.

  • HT1153 I've just put new batteries into my wireless mouse for my iMac and now it'll barely stay connected to my computer. It'll just keep disconnecting then reconnecting for a few minutes then disconnect again. Anyone have any ideas?

    I've just recently put in brand new batteries into my wireless Bluetooth mouse for iMac and it continuously disconnects itself and will then reconnect itself for only a few minutes, just to disconnect again. It's become impossible to use my computer as my mouse smoky won't connect itself for long enough to do anything. Anyone had this problem before and could help me out?

    HI:
    It does not sound like a battery problem.
    Try a couple of things:
    1.          Reset the SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2.          Reset (if you can) the PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.
    Barry
    P.S.  I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit.

  • My iPod nano 4GB (2nd gen.) battery was great, now its dying within a few hours?

    Hello,
    I have a iPod nano 4 GB (2nd gen.) I have had it for years and up till recently the battery was great on it.
    For a few weeks now my battery will die very quickly. I will have it fully charged and within 2 hours it will be dead. I have no applications running, just music. Nothing has changed at how I use it, but the battery just does not hold.
    I charged it again last night and listened to music for about 30 min when I checked it, the battery was about dead. I gave it a few min. then it said it was half way charged?
    I do not have wi-fi or anything on this...just music.
    I also checked to make sure its software was up to date which it is. Can it just be the batterys worn out?
    Thanks

    Yes.  Your iPod's Lithium ion battery will slowly start to lose its ability to retain full capacity over time.  Nothing lasts forever.  Sorry.
