4 hours 30 minutes - watching YouTube, Surfing Internet, Making phone calls

Hello -
I love my iPhone, and didn't really think I had a problem with the battery until I started reading other posts.
My battery was fully charged for today, and watched many YouTube videos, listened to some music, surfed the web on both WiFi and EDGE and received about 4 hours 20 minutes until the 20% warning came on my phone.
Is this normal? My standby time was over 10 hours.
Please respond...thank you!

iPhone offers up to 8 hours of talk time,6 hours of Internet use,7 hours of video playback,or 24 hours of audio playback on a full charge at original capacity. In addition, iPhone features up to 250 hours of standby time.

Of course, if you mix it all up (Wifi is not mentioned, just internet use), your mileage may vary. You would probably be pushing 5 hours until your phone died. Seems a bit low. Do a full charge, and try ONE of these things (like video playback only in Airplane mode) to see if you get anywhere near 7 hours.

  • Making phone calls, Skype hangs up after an hour?

    So I live in Canada. And I'm making skype calles to a land line in the usa. In the past after 4 hours skype would hang up by it self. No big deal. 4 hours is quite the while.
    But today. My skype calles last only an hour then they hang up automaticly. Did somethign change? Can i fix this somehow?
    Solved!

    I highly doubt the issue would be with every number you call.  I've received similar limitations when calling foreign numbers with or without Skype.  The limitation can be imposed by the country, the telcom/leased line.  There really isn't anything that can be done about it and it could change at any time.
    You could try to report a particular number to Skype Customer Service to see if they could provide any additional information.

  • TouchSmart600 - want to watch TV & surf internet at one time, can it be done?

    My TV is working, but it fills the screen with no minimize button that I can find..  It's been either TV or internet/desktop.  I would like to do both simultaneously..  Thanks!  - lildarliin

    Hello lildarliin,
    If you open an application and it fills the entire screen then you likely have the program set to maximize. Press the F11 key on your keyboard to bring it out of this maximized state.

  • Blackberry 9320 phone will not let me watch youtube videos

    Hi, I've been trying to watch youtube videos on my phone on the blackberry interent and it keeps saying "an error has occurred ettempting to play media". Please help its very annoying that I can't watch youtube videos on my phone

    Hello
    To see video on youtube from your blackberry remember that the best option is to watch video through a wireless network.
    Is recommended to watch video while connected to a wi-fi network for quality and video playback.

  • My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.0

    My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.o

    I've also got this annoying problem, but it seems to vary how long the phone wants to last before crashing - i think the longest conversation i've had with iOS4 is 15 minutes and it was an important phone call (my son was in hospital at the time and i was away on business)
    i was hoping that iOS4.2 would fix the problem, but alas nothing but more crashing..
    being a user of Apple products since 1984, having this trouble is pretty disappointing as i used to believe that Apple made a quality product..

  • Phone calls not coming to the watch to answer

    i notice my watch isn't showing the phone call coming in

    my AT&T phone doesn't have wifi feature to toggle on and off. this is crazy that my calls don't come in to my watch.
    i feel my watch could be slightly defective. my wifes watch arrived complete defective and didn't even turn on. i needed to send it back and wait now for replacement.

  • 4 hour battery life surfing internet?

    am i missing something here or is this normal? i was expecting 4 hours when watching movies or doing more processor-heavy tasks.. but im getting around 4 hours, 5 at best, on the internet not at full brightness. this is the 2nd charge and i got it two days ago..
    any thoughts?

    Using gmail for instance forces the use of the nvidia graphicscard and the change back to intel is only made if you shut down the program, at best. Sometimes the release of the lock to nvidia doesn't work and you have to log out. This misuse of graphics card and together with flash on web pages makes the battery time very short indeed. Software update please Apple.

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

  • BSOD when watching YouTube on Lenovo Y580

    Hi,
    I'm new to the Lenovo forum, but I've had my Lenovo Y580 for a long time and it hasn't given me many problems until recently. Around 4 days ago, I was watching YouTube on Google Chrome when I realized that around 60% of the time before a video starts, I would get something along the lines of "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback" for a 1/4 of a second, before the video would start. After watching 5-6 YouTube videos the computer froze, went to a black screen for 5 seconds, before it said "Display Driver stopped working and has recovered", and it said something about Intel drivers. 
    I brushed this off, but the next day while watching YouTube again, the computer froze, but this time the mouse disappeared shortly after and I was greeted with my first BSOD since I bought this computer in December 2012. It said something along the lines of "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and this happened another 3 times, all after watching a couple of YouTube videos. So I finally got fed up and looked that error up, and it said memory was bad. So I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic a couple of times and it says that memory is okay. I then installed new NVIDIA and Intel Graphics drivers, and I am still getting the same crashes. I am unsure what to do right now because this only happens when I watch YouTube, for instance if I watch some YouTube the computer will crash after 30 minutes, whereas I can play BF4 for hours straight without it skipping a beat. Obviously I have been using YouTube for a long time so for this just to start happening now puzzles me. I also forgot to mention that this happens usually right after I exit the video.
    Thanks for your support.

    Good day.
    You mention Chrome. Do you have the same difficulties with YouTube in other browsers (FF or IE)?

  • When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video.

    When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video. This happens randomly and does not seem to be a problem with the videos as they run fine. what is going on?

    Several times every day YouTube shuts down some of their servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time. That's why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios: bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few hours or by the next day.
    If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange, it's very possible that your directories of "temporary internet files" and RAM (sometimes known as "cache") are close to the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way; or C) never even make it onto your screen.
    "Temporary internet files" are tiny bits of webpages that get permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all. Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your "cache" of all its "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". It is best if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You'll be amazed at how "fresh" and "new" your YouTube will be.

  • When I watch youtube videos, it always stop and start. Very  annoying. Any good apps that we can use.

    YouTube videos always stop and start . Is there an apps that we can download to stabilize the video.

    Are you trying to watch YouTube from a web browser on iPad or from the YouTube app?
    Should be running fine from the YouTube app on the iPad unless you have a slow connection.
    Our family uses DSL (4-5 Mbps) and we stream video both with iPads, computers and TV with,mostly, no issues like buffering or data degradation/pixellation. It all depends on how much traffic there is on the Internet at any one specific time.
    Heavy Internet traffic on different days at different hours of the day, from your ISP, can also be a factor in slowing down your Internet connection.

  • I have Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in won't allow me to watch YouTube videos

    Up until last week I had IE9 and was able to download and watch YouTube videos with my son and play Facebook games.  Then one evening I tried to pull up a Yo Gabba Gabba video on YouTube and the video window was blank.  I had watched this video the night before with him, and the only thing I can think of is there was a Flash Player update that tried to download.  I saw several posts that suggested downloading a new broswer, but I waited for 3 nights thinking it was just a glitch.  I finally gave up and sent a pm to one of my friends who is a Internet Service Technician.  She told me to download Mozilla Firefox, which I did, and the problem seemed to be solved.  I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos, as well as play games on Facebook.  And it seemed my pages, pictures, etc. all downloaded 10x faster.  That worked until the next evening and suddenly I once again could not download and watch YouTube videos.
    I checked my system and it found that Adobe had done an automatic update so that instead of just having Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I now had Adobe Flash Player 13 plug-in.  I also noticed that Adobe Air was downloaded on my computer.  I went in and uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in and I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But when I tried to play games on Facebook I was told I would need to install at least Adobe Flash Player 10.0.2.  I went to find that or an older version but each time I tried to download from Adobe I would get the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in version, and once again I was unable to download and watch YouTube videos.  I was, however, able to play the games on Facebook again.
    Remember when I just had Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I was able to do both while having Mozilla Firefox.  I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find recent articles that talk about this problem.  Can someone please tell me what I can do so that I can keep Mozilla Firefox, as it is 10X faster than IE9 and with Firefox my Facebook doesn't crash all of the time?  But I also want to have the ability to download and watch YouTube videos with my son, as well as the play games on Facebook.
    I should also note each time I went to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in I received an error message saying there was a conflict with Mozilla Firefox and I first had to shut it down before the uninstall would proceed.  Also, I received a reply on Adobe's Facebook page from a Tech who had me check to see if I had the latest version of Flash Player.  I did have the most recent version.  He then asked me to go to my add-ons and enable Shockwave.  I followed the instructions and it was already enabled (or it said always activate).  Neither of those helped me be able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But I can still play Facebook games.

  • My battery life at a full 100% charge is about 2 hours 22 minutes (backlight and key lights at lowest level). Should I go complaining to Apple or do I just need different software?

    My battery life at a full 100% charge is about 2 hours 22 minutes (backlight and key lights at lowest level). Should I go complaining to Apple or do I just need different software? I've only had my mac book since August 2011. The battery dies in 2 to 3 hours with some web surfing (little video play) and photo editing etc. I really don't feel like taking my computer all the way to the apple store to wait there for 5 hours to hear that I need to call someone blah blah blah. Any advice? (BTW Safari hasn't been working since I last updated my mac, WHYYYY?)
