Battery dies overnight

I bought an iPod 8 months ago. All was well until three days ago. I charged it, but the next morning it wad dead. No lights at all. So I charged it again and noticed that when it was done (charging) the tiny battery status light would occasionally flash. It worked initially, but once again, the next morning it was dead. I have installed the latest update, but still have the same problem. Does anyone have a fix or does it need serviced? Thanks...

Maybe this page has some useful information for you...

  • Battery dies overnight when phone is switched off

    I have recently done a couple of updates on my phone and since doing so I have noticed that every morning my phone is completely dead and will not switch on. There is charge in my phone when i switch it off at night but it is completely gone by the morning. Do i need a new battery or could it be due to the updates i have done?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then it could indeed be your battery...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Otherwise, it could indeed be the updates you did, and you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

  • Battery charges... dies overnight?

    My battery dies on me at the gym everyday! I charge it at home and by the next day the battery indicator is already red. What's up? I do not get the 12 hours of runtime. Shuffle is about a month old and the second one I've had due to the last one being a dud.

    Several possibilities:
    A. When you think you're charging, you're really not. This is a distinct possibility on some Dell models, as discussed at length in these and other forums.
    B. Your workouts at the gym are infusing it with a conductive saline solution and it's shorting internally.
    C. You're fantastically lucky/unlucky and have gotten two dud Shuffles in a row.
    If B, get a sports band.
    If C, you're actually in luck as Apple will keep issuing them to you as long as you keep bringing them in. If the next one also dies then you might start to suspect something else is going on (A would be a candidate).
    If A is suspected, you might see better results with a new USB2 board or with a powered USB hub.

  • Ipod mini battery dies

    my iPod mini's battery dies within 10 minutes. I'll charge it overnight and still only around ten minutes. I got the speakers but that charger doesnt work either. I don't know what to do.

    hey,
    i just changed my ipod mini's battery because of the same problem (10 hour charge to a 5 minute life span) . it appears to me that the new battery (more ampage than the original) provides no improvement whatsoever, in fact, worsened the lifespan!
    If I leave my ipod switched off with the hold on, it will reset it self and then half of the battery will go away..
    any reasons /???

  • Battery discharges overnight

    I have read similar problems like this in many different forums including here as well.
    I have a 4th gen Ipod that discharges overnight. It takes like 4 hours to charge....and dies overnight! I have personally replaced the battery with a new one since it was out of warranty and thinking that this would fix the issue. This did not. My next idea was to go to the Apple store near my home in Detroit, and the techs there said they could not help me. I just want me $200+ paper weight to work properly.
    I have tried reinstalling the OS for the Ipod.....as well as a restore....etc. There HAS to be something wrong internally with this Ipod as well as the others that are experiencing the same problem.
    Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? I do not feel like going out and spending hundreds of dollars on a new one, so please don't be smart and tell me to go and do this. Again.....any "true" suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    This may seem like a silly question, but are any alarms turned on on the iPod?
    Some iPods "mysteriously" have alarms set, even if the user didn't do it.

  • I use my 7th gen ipod on bluetooth and when the battery dies while on bluetooth it wont turn on or charge and the computer doesnt find it.  This is my 2nd nano in just over a month.  The first one had the same problem.  how can i fix this?

    I have the latest ipod nano (7th gen, 16gb) and I use it mostly on bluetooth. When the battery dies during use with the Bluetooth it doesn't take a charge, the battery doesn't turn on and of course the computer doesn't even acknowledge that it's plugged in. This is my second nano in just over a month, the same thing happen with the first one. I just want to know if their is a way to fix this so I don't have to keep sending it in? Or maybe pay the difference to upgrade to a touch?

    If the battery has been completely depleted on the Nano (not really a good idea) then it is going to take 15 to 30 minutes before your computer can see it. Same thing will happen with an iPod Touch.

  • My new ipod touch battery dies fast? Could this be iOS 5.0.1?

    I got my ipod touch 1 week ago and my battery dies so fast. 25 percent gone in 1 hour! I turn off all background apps, brightness is low, push notifications off, no emails and no gamecenter etc and it still dies at the same rate. And I just use safari and facebook and 25 percent gone in 1 hour What is wrong with my ipod touch and how do i fix this? I bought my ipod from amazon so idk what to do since i have a battery issue. Is this related to ios 5.0.1 or is it my battery? Which is most likely? My iPod Touch dies in like 4 hours light usage...

    sorry that it took me so long to reply, try letting it charge over night. let me know if that works

  • For all of us whose iPhone battery dies ridiculously fast

    It's long, but please take your time to read it. Appreciate it.
    Firstly, I believe it happens to a lot of us. It not only happens to me, but also a lot of my friends and my family.
    Using iPhone certainly will consume its battery, and the way that consumers use iPhones and measure its battery is not the "stand by hours" but how long the battery lasts after charging it till full during our sleep or office hours. We simply only care about how many photos we can take, how long we can search things or browse things on the browser, how long we can call, how long we can use certain apps on the phone and so on so on. Of course, the most important thing is that we don't need to exchange some other essentials such as 4G LTE, brightness, background refresh, background location services, or even WiFi for those very basic functions. We, as users, totally understand certain functions may consumes more battery such as 4G LTE and background operations, but it cannot be the most prior excuse for the phone dies too fast.
    Last month, I gradually cannot tolerate to see my iPhone's battery dies too soon, therefore I reserved a time slot in Genius Bar.
    The response I got, was just as ridiculous as it could be. Firstly, the "Genius" told me to switch off the location services, the background refresh services, and to reduce the motion. He said, after these, your phone will be fine. It seems to be the end of the story, but it is just not. I have these already done long time before!!! Then, the "Genius" of course, did a comprehensive test for the battery and the phone. After a couple minutes, he showed me a list of app crash history, including some major apps that everyone uses and some foundation services of the system. He, of course, without seeing the apps, told me that many apps may be out of dated and developers may not update their apps on time so these apps may cause issues after time, and suggested me to delete those apps. After seeing the list, including Facebook, Weibo, WhatsApp. It is so obvious that these apps are not out of dated but so up to dated!! Ok, then he suggested me to restore the phone, of course I have tried it so many times. Then, he suggested me to use third party tools to back up some certain data and restore the phone as new. He said the bugs are in the backup. THATS IT!!!
    I would not do it, the reason I keep using iPhone is because I value and appareciate the consistency and reliability of the system. I don't need to worry any lose of data when I switch to a new iPhone or upgrade the OS. And of course I don't need to trust and use other non-apple utility services to back up my data. Apple saves my time and brings me convenience, and I always purchase the largest possible capacity to store a lot of files in the phone.
    I updated to iOS 8 this morning, and it took one hour to consume a quarter of battery. Now I am restoring it.
    It happens to just so many of iPhone users. Hope Apple would value this issue and solve it as what Apple always does.
    Thanks for reading. Hope some of you would pass it to insiders.

    There is a new feature in iOS 8 that helps users track down battery hogging apps.  Settings, General, Usage, Battery Usage.  Perhaps that might help you figure out where your electrons are disappearing to. 

  • Ipod freezes on syncing and won't unfreeze until battery dies

    hello,
    my friend has an 80 gig ipod classic that freezes when she plugs it into her computer to sync it. when she unplugs the ipod, it says "corrupted" and is completely frozen. She has to wait until the battery dies and then charge it again to be able to use it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Have You tried the restart...when it freezes up. that might help. its two buttons Menu and the centre, press them at the same time...Try Restarting the ipod before you connect it other than that you might want to consult your closest apple store geek. There is a disk mode and try restarting then pressing Centre and Play/Pause button when it shows the apple sign might work. I had one that did that, but thats because i washed it in the washer machine three times. now it works great. but dont go do that. Or it may be your computer USB cable. just holla back if you still cant figure it out- oh and if you want to take it outta disk mode, just restart again. and it should work. other than that consult a geek.
    But if you need some advise, it (ipod) might need to be restored and you can do that on your itunes. just click the ipod when it comes up and there should be a button that says "Restore". i hope she has all her music and movies on her hard drive.

  • Ipod freezes on syncing and won't unfreeze until battery dies - HELP

    my friend has an 80 gig ipod classic and uses Windows Vista on a Gateway PC. When she syncs her ipod, it freezes (the ipod) and says "corrupted." When she unplugs the ipod from the computer, it is still frozen and will not unfreeze until the battery dies and it is recharged a bit.
    PLEASE HELP

  • Battery dies so quick seems due to a dead loop in SMS

    Battery dies so quick seems due to a dead loop in SMS
    I don't know how to reproduce, but this problem bothers me for a couple of days.
    Not sure if it is global romaing problem, beacause I am a China mobile user currently in Sweden.
    I switched off my "MCDN" in general settings to avoid high data traffic fee.
    And *I find it is not possible to delete SMS when I swipe on one row, the delte button show up for like 2 seconds, then aotomatically disappear;*
    *Also tried click "edit"-> minus button, the result is the same that the delte button show up for like 2 seconds, then aotomatically disappear;*

    Yes, notification and also location services and wifi and blutooth drain the battery.
    With time/number of charge cycles the battery capacity decrease.
    You did not descripe/quantify what you mean by Pretty Quick
    I have a iPhone 4S and am satisfied with battery life.

  • What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPhone5 battery dies when I'm not using it

    My iPhone5 battery dies even when I'm not using it its like I put my phone down and it's a 10% then when I look at the battery later when I look at the battery it's like at 1% please help me thank you

    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
