Another battery issue thread

hello heres my **bleep** battery story.
On 11/13/12  at 7pm I received my cyan lumia 920.The battery came with about 30% battery life and i played around with it for a little bit and put it on the charger. At 7am i removed the phone from the charger and went to work.  between 7am to 12 pm
-I checked my email  3 times
-made 3 phone calls ranging  from 3-8 minutes
-sent 3 texted messages
-checked twitter for maybe 5 minutes
-took 1 picture 
-was on this forum reading some posts for about 10 minutes
and my battery dropped down to 52% from 100%
i called Nokia regarding this and i was on the phone with  a rep and that phone call last 6 minutes and my battery  went from 52% to  39%.By 1pm i had about 15% left. i called att about getting a replacentment  and my  battery dropped to  9% after 4 minutes.( if i return my phone to  an att store i cant get a cyan. i have to  mail it in and be without a phone for 2-3 weeks)
is this normal for thsi phone? did i just buy a phone with a sub par day time camera and a battery that wont last  a few hours?
I have  
-2 emails emails set to  sync  every hour
-battery saver on 
-wifi off
-bluetooth off
-1 app running in the background (battery level app)
-tap to send off
-location on
-kids corner off
-brightness auto
-find my phone off
-feedback off
-high sensitivity off

Hi Joeynox and Sam87,
I too had battery issues with my new 920 when I received it, however after about two or three days and a couple of battery charge cycles, it stabilised and "broke itself in". I now get about 12 hours usage and still having 35% left after making 20 or so text messages, 2 two minute phone calls, ten minutes of Angry Birds, 15 minutes of browsing the internet, and listening to music on the phone all day, with the phone not being in flight mode.
If you are still having problems after a couple more days, i would suggest performing a hard reset, then if that doesn't work, to take your phone back to your point of purchase at AT&T. We have had numerous complaints and they seem to affect AT&T models of the 920, may have something to do with the AT&T applications installed on it causing conflict.
Also turn off your NFC through tap+send in the Settings, that may help....

  • Another battery related thread but kind of odd - iPad2

    So I've noticed my battery simply wasn't lasting.  I would easily lose 12% to 15% over night (about 8 hours) while in standby (or sleep? what is considered the proper term to use?).  After numerous soft and hard reboots and then monitoring again it still was doing this drain.  And strange enough the battery life 'seemed' better if I was using it compared to standby (though that may just appear to be the case since I am using it while the battery is slowly going down).
    Weird right?
    So I did what any self respecting iPad owner should do and wiped that baby and started all over, just like I did one other time (around February).  However this time it didn't work.  It still appeared to behave the same way, draining that battery just as if it was being used while in standby.  And at that point as I monitored this after the wipe is was totally fresh, no restored bakup and no installed apps.  I was bummed I figured shoot it must be damaged.
    However .....
    More strangeness, I have noticed when I go to work (8 to 10 hours) I am hardly losing a single percent or two in standby ??
    At home I have my main router on the 1st floor (WNDR3700) and then tend to switch to my AP extender (WRT54G with DDWRT firmware) when on the second floor due to signal loss through the walls of my home.  I've tried rebooting both routers (full power off) and also tried only using the main (the signal is weak upstairs but still useable without the other AP) in case it was the iPad trying to switch itself for some reason over and over.  Nothing appeared to matter.
    So both at home and at work I use wifi. The one difference here is at home I do force static IP from my router based on MAC address.  This is the only item at the moment I have not checked but plan to this weekend (maybe changing to DHCP for it will bring something to light?).  I have my doubts though since it had been working for at least a year, or more, this way without issue (at least minus that one time when a wipe did resolve it.  And btw I did that wipe two times just in case the other day).
    So, at work = no battery problem but then at home = battery drain
    Anyone want to throw out anything I am all ears! 
    thanks

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Yet another battery issue on macbook pro 15''

    Okay, so before posting this I searched the community for battery problems same as mine and I found some, but they weren't suggesting any solutions other than replacing battery. I want to consider changing battery as a worst-case-scenario, so I'll re-ask a question with some more details about the problem. I would be really glad if somebody can help me solving it in any other way.
    I have a macbook pro 15'' purchased on july 2011, and the battery is at 180th cycle. The problem came out of nowhere, yesterday I sit down in front of my computer and it did not open, so I plugged it in in case the batteries are emptied somehow. Then it was opened, but I got a warning like "date has been reset to pre-2008" (something like this) just after seeing desktop. Then I noticed the magsafe light is green, and saw "not charging" notice next to the battery indicator. It also says "condition: change now". Then I looked at the properties of the battery and saw it has %92 percent of charge already. So I unplugged the magsafe, and boom, my computer just went down as it has no battery.
    The funny part starts here: I could not again start up the computer by just pressing the power button, so I had to plug in the magsafe, and as soon as I plugged it in my computer started without pressing it. after booting I shut down normally, it did stay shut down until I unplug and re-plug - it started automatically again! and it just crashes whenever I plug it off.
    So upon my research, I learnt that this might be because of SMC, so I reset it as instructed but the problem persists. I also booted from one of the dvd's that came out of the box and perform a hardware test, and it said: "Alert! Apple hardware test detected an error. 4XXX/1/40000000: ´®'^! Battery" (the symbols were not exact, but they did not mean anything to me). And now I continue to use my computer plugged, without any other weird behaviour.
    So, can anybody have any advice for this? thank you very much in advance.
    ps1: I purchased the mbp in one of the apple stores in US and I use it in Turkey now.
    ps2: I can make lots and lots of conspiracy theories from the fact that I bought my computer in 15th july 2011 and it broke in 19th july 2012

    I am sure you also tried resetting PRAM?
    My macbook's battery also died suddenly without warning, so it is possible for batteries to die suddenly.
    I know that you are looking for a different answer, but battery replacement is probably the only solution to your problem. If you are lucky, it is possible that your battery connector is loose due to vibrations or something like that.
    If it was a software problem, your hardware test would not have given you an error.
    BY the way, the "date has been reset to pre-2008" error message makes it sound like your CMOS battery is dead. The CMOS battery is pretty small, and cheap. It is different from your main battery.

  • Yet another battery issue... overnight standby draining battery?

    So- my stupid wall charger broke so I've been charging my phone best I can before bed and just dealing with not having a full charge every morning. Last 2 nights, I've gone to bed with it charged between 50-75%, and have woken up with a completely dead battery. Why on earth would it die while unused for 8 hours when during the day I can make calls all I want, surf the web, play music etc. AND go standby for 10-12 hours and only lose 50% of my charge!?!?!?

    Why not let it charge overnight? Why charge it up, and then the first thing you do is blow 6 or more hours of standby time while you sleep? I leave wifi on, with mail checking every 30 minutes, all night long, but have it charging while I sleep. And as for your broken charger, call apple and they'll send you a new one. I received a new one the day after I called them.

  • Battery issues & exchange color question

    jus another battery issue post because I want apple to see how drastic this is & how many people are being affected by it. also I have had the black iPhone since 2007, I bought the black iPhone 5 but decided that it feels exactly like the previous iPhone, would I be able to exchange my current black iPhone 5 for a white one? phone was purchased at frya electronics. any feedback is appreciated. thank you

    That makes sense to me. Though we like to stream many things that we do not own locally, this encourages me to store a lot of m3 material we do own, on our devices. Thanks!

  • Yet another (different?) battery issue

    I have two batteries for my Powerbook, one I keep as a spare and which has only been used about half a dozen times.
    Over recent months I have noticed that the original battery (and the unused one) seemed to take an increasingly long amount of time to recharge, but in the past few days it won't seem to recharge at all. The percentage of remaining charge on both batteries will only go down, with one currently at 25% and the other at 37% and no matter which battery I have installed, whenever I click on the battery menu, in the first line it says "10:00 until full"
    I've tried all the suggestions that I've seen in responses to other battery issues, including resetting the PRAM both with the four key shortcut and using open firmware and reset-nvram and reset-all. I've also tried resetting the PMU by holding down the power key, until the long bleep and I've just tried the Powerbook G4 Battery Updater, but with both batteries I get the following message "Your battery was not updated. Make sure you have a battery properly installed and then try to update your battery again. Be sure to complete the update process for this battery before starting the update of another battery"
    The information in the system profiler for each battery is as follows:
    Original battery -
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 861
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3508
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 110
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 10
    Voltage (mV): 11320
    Relatively new battery -
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 1621
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4381
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 3
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 10
    Voltage (mV): 11331
    I notice there is a massive difference in the "Cycle Count" for the two batteries (110 and 3) although I haven't got a clue what this means.
    Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome, as at present I am worried that eventually I will have run both batteries down and there will be no point in me purchasing a new one if my laptop cannot charge it for some reason.
    As ever my utmost thanks in advance to anyone who takes the trouble to get back to me
    Kind Regards
    Bernard
    PS. the charger info in System Profiler is as follows
    AC Charger Information:
    AC Charger (Watts): 50
    Connected: Yes
    Charging: Yes
    Message was edited by: tdogb

    Thanks a million for getting back to me Louie
    The ring on the power socket is orange, suggesting that it is charging. However I didn't noticed the 50watts in my System Profiler details for the AC Charger. My Power Supply says that it is a 65w one with the correct model no. for this Powerbook (I think it says A1021 on it but I don't trust my eyesight at this time of night)
    Both batteries do appear to be charging but incredibly slowly. For example I have been trying to charge up the battery all week and I had it up to 33% at one stage, before I neglected to plug the power chord in when I turned it on and it slipped back down to 22%. Three days later with it plugged into the power constantly (with me using the computer only during the day and putting it to sleep at night - should it charge when in sleep mode?), it's only crept back up to 30% again.
    This battery could be knackered but I hardly have used my spare battery and even that won't seem to charge any quicker
    I am also pretty certain that this incredibly slow charging is a recent problem, as I've had that power supply for some time (a year maybe) and I am sure that in the past the batteries have charged up at a more normal rate.
    My power supply socket got a little knock recently when I tripped over the cable (as seems to be a common problem on the old non-magnetic sockets) and since then, with the connection not being nearly so snug, it happens quite frequently that I wake the computer from sleep and only realise that the plug is slightly out of the socket when the warning comes up that the laptop will put itself to sleep because the battery is low.
    As a result, where previously I was always using the power supply with the battery fully charged and the light on the ring usually green, these days it seems to be permanently orange because I keep running the battery down and in recent weeks it will not seem to charge up because it takes so much time
    I am guessing that I must've bought a moody power supply (I guess cheap is cheap, as they say) but I don't think it's the source of my problem because the issue has only manifested itself recently
    Many thanks as always for taking the trouble to get back to me
    Best Regards

  • A new iOS update and another new battery issue on the iPhone 5

    Has anyone else contacted Apple support and been given te same old "solutions" on the battery issues?
    1) Turn off location services.
    2) Turn off background app updates.
    3) Restore as a new device.
    These solutions turn a smartphone into a dumb-phone. I love my iPhone but with every new iOS update, the battery becomes incredibly unreliable.  Has anyone found a solution that does not kill the iPhone's functionality?

    You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
    Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.

  • 2.1 Battery Issue and WiFi

    I updated to 2.1 when it came out and overall quite happy with it. But I am getting very mixed results on battery life.
    From morning through arriving home from work the battery stays nearly fully charged. Checking email, running a few apps, watching a little video or listing to audio doesn't make much of a dent.
    However once I get home the battery starts a fairly rapid drop even though I'm not using it much at home. The only difference I can see is that a home it connects via WiFi (rest of the day no WiFi is available).
    Anyone else with battery issues seeing a similar pattern?

    My phone lives in range of wifi most of the day, at work or at home.
    I have 3g off because I don't live in a 3g area. I turn it on when I drive to the city.
    On days when I'm not on the phone a lot, I get easily a day an a half out of the phone. I'd get longer, but its so darned addictive, and I use google reader a lot to follow a lot of RSS threads, and listen to music, and read my mail.
    Another poster above says wifi depletes the battery. I seriously doubt this. The wifi radio uses far less power than the 3G or GSM radio. Its just so much more pleasant to use a fast reliable connection than a flaky slow one, that most people probably use the device more heavily on wifi than they do on 3G.
    You are correct in your observation that the last 25% of battery goes a lot more quickly than the first 25%. That is a function of the less than perfect technology used to measure battery capacity of Lithium Ion batteries.

  • Is the battery issue with the 4s resolve or is it still a problem

    I'm thinking of uupgrading to the 4S but don't want to if they are having battery issues.

  • IPhone 4S update to iOS 5.1 singal and battery issues

    Hi,
    I was on 5.0.1 and had no issues at all loved the phone and my battery life. Eversince I updated to 5.1 my phone signal is awful, 2 bars when I had 5 before, constantly floating, calls drop for no reason. Yesterday nobody was able to reach me until I restarted my phone. Switched phone on in the morning yesterday and I get no service for around 30 minutes, after restarting 3 times it finally found network.
    On o2 got my iphone from Apple unlocked.
    As to battery life I can loose around 10-20 % in 2-3 hours not doing anything just in stand by, my battery issues were solved with 5.0.1 but started again with 5.1
    What is apple doing? it is to say the least frustrating as ****. Fix one thing then break another, or break 2 while fixing them. It ****** me off.
    I tried to restore my phone 7 times already set up as new and still no improvement.
    One more interesting issue is when you go to your purchases in App store, and click dowload and app dissapears and then reappears on home screen few minutes later once it is done downloading.
    Anyone else with this kind of a issue?

    Honestly guys,
    It is either apple is blinded by their immense success which will not last if they keep going the direction they going. They should have more time to test their products thouroughly before they put their production line on overdrive. Company this size ignoring issues like that.
    I think new Ipad will have problems as well, it seems this line up 4S and new ipad is kind of transition point to a newer devices and were made just to get something out on the market. Using same CPUs same formfactor.
    My problem is I payed a fortune for it and it doesnt perform, I dont pay 600 pounds for a phone because I want to have issues with it. What they are doing is plainly ignoring these problems. Battery issue been going on since the release of the phone, going to be a year soon.
    Microsoft and Apple changing places, look like microsoft going the right direction now with Widnows 8 and mobiles where as apple comes up with something like Lion which I hated and now Mountain Lion which plainly is running out of ideas and starting to implement some features from iOS, these are completely different devices. They do not need to be the same, they werent created for the same purprose.
    I was on apples side all along but they are blinded by their pride in leading this revolution that they choose to ignore these issues. Relying on peoples stupidity to show off things like ipad 3 is 4x faster than tegra 3 where as in real results it came out 15% faster.
    Apple get his fixed before it is too late. Scared to buy your products now!!! Good thing I didnt get iPad looking at overheating issues it is having, and also not charging from cable while in use but draining battery. No thanks

  • I PHONE 5 BATTERY ISSUE AND PHONE SHUTS OFF

    MY I PHONE 5 SHUTS OFF REPEATLY AND BATTERY PERCENTAGE IS SHOWING DIFFERENT NUMBERS

    I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
    If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue.  To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new.  This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings.  Then test it out for a day or two.  If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced.  If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself:  http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
    If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue.  This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself.  What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
    But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device:  http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
    Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below:  "IPSW with iTunes"
    And your done.
    Problem solved.
    I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
    I hope this helps.

  • Has iPOD battery issue gone away?

    Have two iPOD minis. Heard about a battery issue about a year ago, accompanied by a class action suit. Time to get at least another iPOD. Questions:
    1) Was that problem with inferior lithium batteries resolved by Apple? Is it okay to get another iPOD mini? And,
    2) Suggestions on purchasing an iPOD. We use them exclusively for music, nothing else. Would like to go with iPOD mini again, unless I hear otherwise from any of you.
    Thank you

    1 - The Mini was not included in the lawsuit. The battery worked as advertised (within reason). Don't think it was (widely) published exactly what the cause/fix was.
    2 - The iPod rocks. I recommend it. The Mini (the mot popular iPod ever) was discontinued in October last year. You can still purchase refurbished Minis at www.apple.com/store. They come with a standard one year warranty and you can purchase the Applecare Protection Pln for it as well.

  • IOS 6.1.1 3G & battery issues
