9300 battery drains 10% per hour when not in use

Occaisonally it will hang for around 30 seconds and show the spinning clock icon. The battery drain happens even with all connections off.
No 3rd party apps installed, Default apps from Rogers with only App World, and BB Messenger updated to latest versions. Running version 6.0.0.526, Platform 6.6.0.195
Any help greatly appreciated...

Hi!
I have an iPad 3,3 GSM. I didn't update it since iOS 5.1.1. iPad works almost a week for me. And updated it to 7.1 at last Friday.
After update my battery drains notable fast. ~10-12% overnight(~8h) in standby mode. I've tried to turn off parallax, all location services and background apps. But nothing's changed.
So I''ve found that in usage section I ve almost the same values of usage and standby time. And I realized that one thing that drains my battery is "Find my ipad" service!!! I turned off it and my ipad works as with iOS 5.1.1:
2% overnight max!! And now it's drained only 14% after 4h20m of usage with parallax turned on! (yes i've only surfed web and read a book but nevertheless)
So it's your choice what to prefer - be sure that your ipad either protected from stealing or long battery life!

IPod touch 5 battery drains very quickly even when not used

HI , I got a new iPod touch 5 for Christmas and let the battery drain before charging to 100%.
within a very short period of time and without using the iPod , (poss 2 - 3 hours ) the iPod was completly flat and would not even show the charging symbol. I charged it again and the same happened again , i did update the iPod during this time so it is currently running the latest iOS , I have tried a hard reset but still the battery drains very quickly without using the iPod at all. It is currently pretty useless as the battery life is so short !!!

Iphone 5 battery suddening draining when not in use

Had my iphone 5 for about 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life. But literally out of no where the battery started draining super fast. Dropping 15% in 30 minutes when not in used. Here's the deal...nothing has changed ie locations, email, icloud etc. And quite honestly what is the freaking point of having those things if it drains the battery at unreasonable speeds. So I completely frustrated with Apple for at least not saying "we understand theres and issue and we are working on it." I will never switch cuz I'm an idiot Apple diehard but there have been so many bugs of late it's just frustrating. Also at the same time of the fast drain when I swipe to delete a text the delete button dissapears within one second. Both issues came on at the same time. I'm trying reseting the battery, restoring, unchecking notifications and a bunch of other features which is so stupid... whats the point of having a smart phone if you can't use the features? So I am going to demand a new phone and I know the Apple Genius guys who are so far from genius its pathetic are going to say nothing is wrong with the phone haha, just like the did with the super slow WiFi connections I get...they were completely unaware that there was a problem with iphones and Wifi cuz of course at the Apple Store the Wifi flies when they test it there but of course once you go back to your home or business the Wifi is back to super slow. Wow the things we put up with. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

IPhone4 battery draining when not in use

am just wondering if anyone experiencing battery draining when not in use? i charge my iphone4 before going to bed and woke up this morning to realise that my battery had drain 22% on stand by... is this normal? can anyone confirm it to me please, thank you

Just an update guys --after draining (on standby) over 20% of my battery charge last week, it has risen to or about 40+% in the last couple of days. I haven't changed any settings or whatsoever. I had to charged it twice during the day yesterday and it was bloody frustrating. anyway, i went to the apple shop today and told them the problem... they scanned my iphone4's battery and it was evident and showed when was the last time it was charged and how much battery life has it lost throughout the day. After scanning my iphone we did not even have to discuss repair or do any setting or software checks. I was gobsmacked --as i did not have to ask for a replacement, I was immediately offered a swap to a brand new iPhone4... lucky me? umm, i don't know...maybe? But the thing is, they seemed to be aware of the problem and they are keeping a low profile on tackling the problem. so my suggestion is if anyone has a battery problem with their unit, take it to apple and have the battery scan. As such, i have to wait and see if this new unit will present the same problem, although i must admit, for some reason, this new unit has a slight different behaviour than my previous iphone4.
Other issues on my previous iPhone4:
1. frequently dropping signal --not a problem with the new replacement unit
2. if i turn off my "phone" feature on the multitasking bar, red dot appears on the phone icon and i couldn't make a call as it seemed blocked and it kept asking me to set-up the voicemail feature every time --again, not a problem with the new unit.
3. even my tomtom app has changed its behaviour, i have discovered new features without updating the app --strange isn't it?
4. playing NOVA game was a pain with the previous unit as i kept getting network problem and interrupting the game.
5. it kept shuffling my music when i'm using ipod whilst walking. imagine, hearing about 8 different tunes in a span of 5 seconds...
anyway, time will tell with this new unit as i have kept the same settings from my previous unit and uploaded my previous back-up data and apps. so it would be like having my old iphone4 and we'll see in the morning if it will drain on stand by as well --i hope not 'cos am getting really frustrated with it. oh, by the way, blue tooth feature don't work with my new replacement unit --NICE!!!

Constant bettery drain when not in use. Help!

My iPod battery constantly drains even when not in use. I used to be able to listen to my iPod for an entire day without worrying about running out of battery. Now I can charge it fully and it'll be out of battery in 3-4 hours of use, and about 4 hours even when just turned off (in sleep, with hold switch on).
This happened shortly after hooking the iPod up to a new computer with a faulty USB port. I got a new battery for the iPod but it didnt change anything, so the battery wasn't the problem. Does anyone have any ideas of how this could possibly be fixed?

Well, my iPod goes into sleep mode fine, but the battery drains fast even while sleeping. Basically, it drains almost as much while in sleep mode as it does when in use.
I just got a brand new battery for it a couple weeks ago but it didn't fix anything, so I'm sure the problem isn't with the battery. Something is just causing the iPod to lose power constantly.
Also, I've charged it with the official AC adapter, with my computer USB cable, with a separate docking station, and with a car charger, and it happens no matter what I use to charge it

Battery discharges very quickly when not in use

After fully charging my Nano and leaving it for a day I find that it discharges leaving 2-3 hours of playing time.
In fact, even when fully charged I would be lucky to get 8 hours playing time.
I appreciate that the battery slowly discharges when not in use but my Mini certainly retains its charge far longer than my Nano.
I have tried "conditioning" the battery occassionally but no use.
Anyone else have this problem or is my batter faulty?

nevermind - just read an article on the apple site saying the battery is in use even when it's turned off, i suppose to save the date and time.
Wish there were an option to completely turn it off - i dont really care about the date and time.

How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

Sorry, there is no feature for that built into Firefox, and I haven't seen an add-on to add that feature to Firefox.

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?

I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!

Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on.

Leave iPhone in charger when not in use?

Can you overcharge an iPhone? Shall I keep it in the charger when not in use?
Thanks!

You can not over charge the battery by leaving it plug in for long times.

Should I shut down my computer when not in use

should I shut down my computer when not in use, overnight for instance?

Hello! Leaving it on 24/7/365 is perfectly acceptable. You may save some electricity but personally I think you'll pay for it with a more troublesome system. I do however set the monitors to go to sleep. I like the no startup lag time of running 24/7/365. That said, if I lived in an area prone to electrical outages or if my location was prone to lightening strikes I'd probably shut it down and unplugged. Of course with it being unplugged the pram battery may run down. These old G4's have been running 24/7/365 for years now. I do try to restart every few weeks just for good measure! In the end it's your preference. The hardware works best when a constant temperature is maintained. Tom

Apps wanting to access my location when not in use (and not giving the option to turn it off)

For most apps, I can choose to share my location 1) not at all; 2) when the app is in use (my favourite); 3) always (even when not in use).
Why do some apps not offer the second option?
For instance, I want to use an app that locates the nearest automatic external defibrillator (if someone has a cardiac arrest) but I can only use the app when I allow the app to access my location all the time. Given the fact that I will use this app perhaps only once every 15 years, I see no point in giving them my location for the next 15 years! That's just a waste of battery power and also a breach of my privacy.
Second example: Apple's own weather app. I check the weather maybe once every month. I do not want the app to locate me all the time. But I can only choose between option 1) and 3) above.
Is there a technical reason apps work like this? Or are they just sneakily trying to get as much information about me as possible?
Thanks for your thoughts.
PS: I am using iphone 6, iOS8.3

everything rudegar said is right on. Still, 10% overnight is more than you would expect - so something is still running. try-
double click the home button, and see what apps are listed as recent. one or more of them might be still churning away. it is a good idea to close those out fully every night. Any of those apps with notifications or location services may be checking in every now and then and using your power.
you mentioned airplane mode is 'off'. this may be a terminolgy thing - but having airplane mode 'off', means that the radios are on. WiFi, and 3 G if you have it. turning airplane mode "on" turns off the radios.
with everything off on mine - (except I leave the wifi on) - i use 2 or 3% overnight.
But if you really want it off - do what rudegar says.

IPhone 3g shuts down randomly when not in use.

I'm running iOS 4.0 on my iPhone 3G, which I bought used. It shuts down by itself randomly when not in use a few times a day. It never shuts down when in use or when plugged in. I've seen other posts on something similar but no solution. Please help

I have a similar problem, it shuts down, when it's locked, it shut's down, when im using a aplication, it shut's down when im not using it, it's shuts down when it's even plugged in, some say it can be the battery but i dont think so.

Is it possible to let the TS-HD go sleep when not in use

is it possible to let the Time Capsule HD go idle when not in use for saving energy?

If the Time Capsule is functioning normally, the hard drive will spin up automatically when a Time Machine backup begins and spin down after the backup is completed.
My Time Capsule normally runs for a minute or two for the backup each hour....otherwise the drive is not active.
