Battery Depleted Fast, Now Unresponsive

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my iPhone 4 was depleting battery very quickly and getting very hot.  I could not resolve this problem, and then it would not even charge.  I had a replacement battery installed yesterday.  For a few hours my phone was fine, then within a matter of minutes the battery dropped from almost full to zero, and now will not charge/turn on again.  I will take it back to where I had the battery replaced, however, I suspect that it is a problem with the running of the phone that is damaging the battery, rather than two batteries being faulty.  Can anyone offer any insight or assistance?  My phone is out of warranty, but I am still in contract, and do not really want to buy another phone.  I am also unable to return to the shop for a couple of days, as I had it fixed in London, so not having a phone is very frustrating!  I do not want to have the battery replaced for it to happen again after a few hours!  Thanks.

Well, before the battery replacement you should have done a restore to the device through iTunes
Also you should have adjusted the screen brightness, push notifications, location services, as well as quit the running applications in the background.
BUTTT might as well take the phone back to where it was serviced...... you could have got a battery replacement at an apple store for $89.00....

    The I-phone 4 not worth it's money. Not only battery depletes fast but your money also

    I'll tell you what's not worth the money, bagels from Costco...they're chewy alright, but too much dough & no flavor.

    A few people that post here have said they are having trouble with there battery life. As for the apps crashing, have you reset you iPad , it may help. 

  • My ipad seems to now be using up the battery much faster. What do I need to check. Also seems to charge slow.

    My ipad seems to now be using up the battery much faster. What do I need to check. Also seems to charge slow.

    im not too sure about the slow charging, but i would recommend altering the way in which you use your ipad i.e turning your brightness as far down as possible, making sure you close all your apps etc... smaller things like that have a massive effect. my phone battery was awful at the start, however simply lowering the brightness has made it way more efficient and it has a much longer life.

  • IPhone 5s battery drain fast with iOS 8.1.2

    I have iPhone 5s from 1 year. After updating to 8.1.2 battery draining fast. I needs charge the battery 3-4 times a day. I did the restore as new, but no change. Stopping the apps does not help. Please for advice.

    I have also experienced this, but I think I have started to narrow things down. First of all, I am on an iPhone 5S 32gb, and I did NOT have any of these battery issues under 8.1.1, but since upgrading, the battery drains more quickly for sure.
    What I have noticed, however, is that there are some strange correlations going on with what appears to be ridiculously severe battery drain - my phone will show 50% battery, and minutes later (of normal use, taking photos, screen at about 50% brightness, no overt internet or GPS activity) it will suddenly shut down completely. This seems to happen most WHEN IT IS COLD and I am using it outside.
    When I try to turn it back on right after, I get the "plug me in" screen, as one would expect with a dead phone. However, if I wait a few minutes and let the phone warm up a bit, I hold down the power switch and on it comes, and when it comes on, the battery indicator will show 50% battery life again. I think of this as my FALSE BATTERY DRAIN problem, possibly unrelated to the actual battery life. I have only noticed this happening while running the Camera or Safari apps. Looking at my usage doesn't seem to turn up any surprises.
    So Apple... what the heck is going on here? Is this an OS problem, is it an issue with your apps, with app conflicts... what is going on?
    This is unacceptable. You know after being an Apple user for 35 years now I am not going to switch to Android lightly, but this is pushing me that way, and it is certainly going to keep me from updating to a newer, shinier phone until you show some commitment to supporting your users, who seem to be experiencing battery issues rather frequently these days.
    Please at least show some INTEREST in being involved in this solution... I'm not seeing any indications of effort to fix this.
    Thank you.

  • Safari in ios 7.1 drains battery very fast are you aware of this problem

    Today when I use safari browser for this message the battery drains so fast but if I use uc browser it is not draining  the battery so fast what is the problem in safari

    Do a clean installation. This OTA update is just a little patch compared to the 1.X gb update, there must be something. It is convinient, but there is nothing better than a clean installation. It is a pain because you have to back up your files and delete everything, but it is the only way to have good battery life. I was being lazy until I decided to do it and now my iphone 5 running ios 7.1 has better battery life than before, it was also getting very hot.

  • HT4623 I updated ios6.1.2 on my ipad2 and it is draining my battery very fast. How do I go back to 6.1.1 ios

    I Updatedios6.1.2 on my ipad2. It is draining battery very fast. How do I fix it ? Can I go back to old version of ios6.1.1 if yes how?

    Honestly this is the final nail in the coffin. Mine too has terrible battery life since the 6.1.2 update.
    What the **** has happened apple. .? You have totally ruined iOS 6 its been a shambles since day one!
    I have tried every suggestion so far and it's just the same.
    But that's it now. My ipad is goin up on ebay and I'm looking at other tablets. I haven't had one issue with my nexus 4 since I went from iPhone 4 to that. Infant the updates have made that better not worse!!

  • Iphone 3g ios4 fast now

    so i did an update to ios4 and like most people here it sucked badly
    so slow apps took forever battery life sucked basically all the problems.
    i read everything i could find, and in the end here is what fixed it
    i put my phone into recovery mode by turning it off and then pressing power and home button till the connect to itunes logo appeared.
    connected it to itunes,
    installed ios4.
    DIDN'T restore a backup.
    when phone was up and running did a reset all in the settings menu.
    and now for over 2 days my iphone is fine.
    some things actually run faster now, the rest are about the same.
    it is a pain because its in effect a new phone and i had to set all my preferences again, but it works now

    Lucky you went through backup. Mine got stuck after 25% for 4 hours. Retries ended up the same

  • IPad iOS 4.2.1 Battery depletion issue - problem solved

    After finding my battery draining 50% faster aftter the upgrade I realized that the problem might be the "find my iPad" service that I activated just after the upgrade. To test my theory, I turned the service off and recharged the battery back to 100%. Good news! The battery consumption is back to what it was before the upgrade. It's too bad that the service is such a power hog. I'll be leaving it turned off. I hope this helps some of the rest of you concerned about this issue.

    If that doesn't make a difference, try restoring (after syncing) and using auto brightness option.
    I did all of the above and battery drain is now back to Pre 4.2 levels.

  • After iOS 8.3 update, my iPhone 5 battery depletes

    After iOS 8.3 update, my iPhone 5 battery depletes rapidly.

    i'm totally disappointed .

  • MBP draining the battery very fast.

    My MBP 2011 is running out of battery very fast. I tried turning the Wireless off but still the same issue. This has been happening only for a few days now. Any thoughts why??

    Many users see Apple's "up to 7 hours" claim and figure they should be getting 7 hours no matter what. Nothing could be farther from the truth. How long your machine runs on a full charge depends very heavily on what applications are in use, what web sites are being browsed, and what settings are in effect on the machine. To get 7 hours, you must have all energy-saving settings optimized and be doing almost nothing.
    To maximize battery life in actual, real-life usage:
    If you have a 15" or 17" MBP, use gfxCardStatus to restrict your machine to using its integrated graphics instead of the discrete GPU.
    Keep your screen backlight turned down as far as you can stand.
    Turn off keyboard backlighting.
    Disconnect external drives, iPods, iPads, iPhones and all other bus-powered peripherals when running on battery power.
    Turn off Bluetooth and wifi whenever you aren't using them.
    Avoid web sites that have any Flash content, including advertisements.
    Avoid streaming any video from the web.
    Don't play any 3D games -- not even those that will run on integrated graphics.
    Quit all applications that aren't in active use.
    Close all web browser windows and tabs that aren't in active use.
    If you take all these steps, your battery will probably last around six hours. Of course you'll be quite limited in what you can do, but that's what it takes to maximize battery life.

  • 5130 battery drains fast!!HELP...

    my new 5130 xpress music's battery darins fast after 2-3hrs of music playback.Other thing I have noticed is when my battery has been reduced it drains fast even though I am just texting..!
    kindly help me..
    i followed as insturcted that drain it first before charging it for the first time...

    hi krizanand,
    I'm curious about whether you have a Nokia 5130 Xpress Music Phone? But I guess you're not...
    I don't want to make it personal but we are wronged here and that's why it may seem offensive to you.
    But I'm not making that problem up. You can search for it. If you know Turkish, there is a site that people talk about 5130 and also that problem: http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_27593466/mpage_10/key_/tm.htm 
    First (before I have bought that phone) I thought just like you. I thought that very low time spans must be a result of heavy use of the phone.. But when I bought the phone I have realized it, it is not.
    I give you today's statistics and you can judge from that numbers; TODAY;
    Music Play: for most half an hour (appr. 20 min.)
    Calls: 13 minutes in total
    GPRS: NEVER
    It's not a faulty battery, most of the users have that problem as far as I read...
    And I bought it brand new in a closed box, not a second hand...
    And now battery meter shows appr. 1/3
    At these moments, the phone has been on for 22 hours appr.
    It means that the battery will die out in the middle of the day, tomorrow.
    Am I right?
    I think it is a huge flaw for a NOKIA phone... 
    And I will continue to defend that claim...

  • How come my mac's battery charges fast and drains fast as well?, How come my mac's battery charges fast and drains fast as well?

    I would like to know why my Macbook Air 13 IN. (The one before the newest one that just came out) loses battery so fast and also charges so fast? Literally, it takes about 2 hours for my mac to charge, which I love, but then when it is not plugged into the charger, it's battery life runs out in about 2 hours as well. The only changes I have made to my copmuter in the last month (when this problem began) was upgrading to Mavericks and playing games. First, I updated to OSX Mavericks (huge mistake on my part for various reasons). Secondarily, I began to play graphic intensive games on my mac; games like Team Fortress 2 on Steam. I began playing them very often. Now, I know, you all probably think that this is obviouslty the reason the battery drains so fast, and I get that, but how come it charges really fast too? It hasn't always done this, however. It used to take hours to charge and it would therefore last MUCH longer. So I basically have two questions; How come my mac's battery drains AND CHARGES so fast, and what can I do to restore its charging abilities back to their original state?

    Yes, even playing the graphics intense STEAM games would have no accounting for ultra-fast charge times.
    Since your Mac is short-charging your Air and there is wrong information being fed that a full charge has occurred when it in fact hasnt (as per your indications) then:
    perform a SMC reset, and if same, you'll need to make an appt. with your Apple store for full diagnostics of possible IO board or battery circuitry issue.
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
