1% battery decrease every 5 minutes

Is it normal for my new iPhone 4 to loose 1% battery charge every 5 minutes of surfing via wi-fi?

YEs Lawrence that is the case but it should not be happen when you are just letting the phone sit with nothing running in the background and screen brightness only half ways and many features off that is not how the phone is tested or set up .. you pretty much have to keep location settings off otherwise it drains even fast .. i can prove this because in the case logs i see location log file that shows that something is constantly being taken from the phone even when in standby and using the memory at a high level which contributes to the reduction in battery life.. you can stop sugar coating a massive issue with a vast majority of users ...

My MBA 11 Mid 2013 is losing about 1% of battery every minute.

It did not do this before two days ago. I easily made the battery last 13hr on the same amount of activity I am using it for now. Never did it decrease at this crazy rate of 1% every minute. It is also very hot on the bottom.

very hot on the bottom? Is it on your lap or you just testing it with your had? your Macbook is a notebook not a laptop
It is plugged in and charging or on battery?
Has your use changed in any regard to "two days ago" (in general)

Battery going down every minute.. 2011 MBP.

I have a 15" Pro 2011 (early) i7, 8 GB Ram.
My battery goes down 1% every minute.... So If I use my MBP for 100 minutes, the battery is dead....
I have closed everything off, apart from safari. Screen brightness is at 6 blocks.. Even though it tells me I have 3:49 left...
Any explenations?
It's all updated with the latest updates.

I just wanted to follow up with an update about the problem I was experiencing. It turns out I bought a wonderful macbook pro with a defective logic board I'm not sure how that gets by quality control, this is my first Mac and needless to say I'm not impressed the computer has been with an authorized Mac reseller and repair place thats still waiting on parts from Apple after 5 days another area I'm not impressed with as they said Apple did not ship parts to Canada this is a brand new computer about two weeks old now. I would recommend to anyone that is having the same problems to take your computer to an authorized apple store or repair depot and get it checked out. Now the question I have is with a problem like that would it have damaged other parts of the computer?
As a refresher the symptoms I had with the computer out of the box was the charge indicator would alternate between amber and green on the mag safe and the tooltip on the display would alternate between saying charging then to not charging while the battery discharged with the computer plugged in. Some programs made this behavior more rapid those programs that seemed to trigger a more rapid display of the symptoms was playing World of warcraft,iTunes,Safari,Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)though if these programs were not running the problem would happen it was just a bit slower in developing. I Have the mac book pro spring 2011 17 2.2Ghz i7 model.

Is my iphone 5s battery normal when it drains 1% battery every minute when i use facetime?

Hello,
This is the first time i bought an iphone so i dont know if its normal for an iphone 5s to drain 1% battery every minute when using facetime? I notice also when im writing this message it also drains my battery every minute. Since i open my iphone i already did many saving tips. But i think it doesnt work at all. Hope to get an answer soon.
Thank you.

Facetime is possibly the most battery intensive application on your phone. Is it normal for it to drain 1% every min.? I don't use it enough to know, but i wouldn't be surprised.

My battery decreases rapidly and iPhone won't charge.

The battery started to drop very fast some month ago. When it is fully charged then i plug it out, and it dies in like 1 or 2 hours, when I'm only listening to music and nothing else. I turned the bluetooth and 3g off and only turned wifi.
Actually i listen to music for 10 to 20 min at the morning and the phone is fully charged. Then it rest for 4-5hours then i listen to music for 45mins or an hour during the lunchtime. After that, it rest for about 2 hours and i listen to music for 10 to 20 mins. When i get home, the battery percentage is like 20 something or 30.
I used it for 1 year but the battery started to decreases rapidly just few month ago. I don't know why it started very suddenly. Because many iPhone users claim that the battery decreases just a little faster than before, and it continuously happen. and for me, it just started in a night. Before that happen once, the battery percentage was always 90 or 80 percent when i get back home.
I do not tuen my phone off during the rest time.
I did not hacked or illegally downloaded anything and i only have 10 applications in my phone. And i have more than 10GBs of pics in album. But i don't think that is related.
On the other hand, it refuses to charge. Both usb on the laptop and charging on the wall. When it first happened, i thought the usb cable went wrong, because i wriggled it too much. So i threw that away and bought 6 more cables then it worked. Few months later, it stopped charging and i used another cable. Now i ran out of new cables. When i plug it in, it doesn't work. So i wriggled the cable but it stops charge my phone when it gets to 3%. When i plugged it on my laptop for few minutes, the battery percent increased to 20% from 10%, without 11%,12% or anything. Then it didn't worked anymore.its so frustrating that my phone battery dies in few hours and wont charged.
How can i fix this?

Not solved: XM Radio repeats every minute since 2.2

I thought it was just the app, but ever since the 2.2 update the audio from the Sirius/XM player audio stream repeats every 1 minute. I realized last night that apps like the police scanner did as well. Anyone have any advice?

have you pulled your battery since you updated? don't know if it will help, but someone else was having trouble with audio on a couple apps (he described it as skipping real bad) so he pulled the battery for a minute and started it back up and whatever it was he was listening to, was fine.

Purple LED flashing every minute

I cannot find the source of this Purple LED that flashes every minute. It even flashes when in Bedside Mode.
I have looked through all Apps in Settings >> Notifications.
I had an App called 'Power Tools' installed. This allows for the changing of LED colours, but I never implemented the app, and did check all possible LED changes in the App, but none were set. I have since removed the App, but the LED continues to blink every minute.
Can anyone give an idea of where to look for possible sources of this blinking LED?
Thanks very much !
Solved!

Shouldn't I be able to see CPU activity when the LED fires off?
Probably not, the LED uses very very CPU and battery. You know how those little cheap LED lights you buy at cash register checkout counters can last for years....?
I don't see the app that might causing it.
Look in your App World > My World > Apps ? Installed.
Anything like BeBuzz, Hub++ or something in there?

Just look around the forum posts. Your issue is the number one problem reported by users. There are many suggestions found, some work for some users, others do not.
Some users have reported no battery problems after the upgrade. Others have improved performance after upgrading to 5.0.1 from 5.0. YMMV.
Many of the posts offer suggestions about changing various settings - there are many that affect the battery life.
Once you upgrade the iOS on a device, you cannot go back to a previous version.

Kin2 Restarts every minute

I got a Kin2 a month ago and it was great until last night. It started turning off and restarting literally every minute. I've tried making calls as soon as it comes back on and after a minute it shuts off then restarts.
Any suggestions?

shlhu,
A phone that restarts when its not suppose to would be very annoying and frustrating. I will be happy to assist and make sure we get this resolved for you!
There are a few things I would like to try, such as removing and reinserting the battery. If that doesn't solve the issue, I would even like to try a Master Reset to possibly clear any corrupt data on the phone that would be causing it to power cycle. Just ensure your data is backed up prior to doing the Master Reset. To perform the Master Reset, you would tap Settings > tap About Your Phone > tap Erase Phone Data.
If you are still experiencing the resetting after the Master Reset I can see if your device is still covered under the manufacturer's warranty for replacement.
Let me know how this works for you!

Help! Charge Keeps Resetting to Home Screen every minute or so.

Hi. My Samsung Charge Keeps Resetting every minute or so to the Home Screen. It shuts off anything I'm doing and goes black. It then starts up at the home screen and says "media scanner running" at the top of screen. What I was doing before problem occurred...I was listening to music player yesterday for several hours until battery went dead. I plugged the phone into my laptop to charge the battery and the problem started.

I don't really know what to do but your battery probably is not charged very well yet. The USB port on a PC is NOT a very powerful charger.
Try this. Plug your phone into the 1 AMP charger that came with it. After the battery is charged past the 60% mark leave the charger plugged into your phone and then hold the on/off button (top right outside edge of the phone) until you see Power Off. Touch power off. After a minute restart the phone.
If that does not fix your phone do the same thing at one more or maybe two more times.
I hope someone else may have a better idea.

Fan kicks quite loudly every minute on Satellite L30

Hi,
I'm using a Satellite L30 laptop. One thing I am finding annoying is that the fan kicks in quite loudly every minute or so, then quietens down for a while. Using a temperature monitor it looks like the fan kicks in when the temperature rises above about 50, then slows down as it falls. When the temperature is below 45 the fan stops altogether which causes the temperature to quickly rise back above 50.
I want to change the power management settings so that the fan stays on quitely at lower temperatures. I have a desktop computer where it is possible to change the fan settings in the BIOS, but I can't find anything like this on the laptop. Can anyone suggest where I should look - are there any open source or shareware tools which will do this?

Maybe you should check this topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=18258
The trick:
1. You need in Power Saver the performance profile, that uses performance fan control.
2. You need to make another profile (for example called Silence). In this profile you need the optimized battery fan control, the other options doesnt matter.
3. Then, you must activate the performance profile, and wait, until the fan speed raises (begins to cool down the CPU). Meanwhile the fan speed is high, you must speedily switch to the silence profile (with the Fn+F2 combination you can choose, which you want).
4. And voila, the fan rolling remains on medium (not noisy) speed so long as you turn off or hibernate the computer, and the temperature drops to 40-50 degrees.
This trick works only if you use Windows XP, because Power Saver doesn't work under Vista. (I have Satellite L30-134, BIOS number is 2.60.)

HT201412 even after all night of charging my ipod touch is running out of battery whithin 5 minutes of it being on, why is this?

Try the following to rule out a software problem.:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still that short of life ake an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Firefox keeps crashing at random times every minute or so, need help.

Firefox crashes pretty much every minute I browse the internet. Sometimes even if I just leave it there doing nothing. I've tried safe mode. I've tried disabling hardware accaleration. I've tried creating a new firefox profile. I've tried disabling flashplayer protected mode. Nothing worked so far. Oh and I can enter some websites through firefox for a shortwhile before it crashes but I've noticed that going to imdb.com and mozilla.org causes it to crash instantly don't know if it helps.
Here are the lat 5 crashes:

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

What's happening if my Macbook Air beeps about once every minute?

I just upgraded my Macbook Air to OSX 10.8.1 the other day. Besides that, I diddn't install any new applications. Today, my macbook beeps about once every minute even when I muted it. What is going on?

ok, it turns out that this is just a mistake. the beeping noise doesn't actually come from my laptop... sorry about this. Please disregard the question. I love my mac, and Apple is amazing.
