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.

IPhone gets very hot when not being used!

Been having some trouble with my iPhone recently. For some reason the iPhone gets hot - I don't mean warm... When it's in my pocket I can feel the heat being generated, or sometimes I'll pick it up from my desk and it'll be warmer than me, even when it's not being used.
It's started doing this recently. I've already had to hard reset it due to other issues but in addition to the heat issue the battery goes down really quickly, again when it's not being used. Today from a full charge it was down to 50% in about 2 hours.
I had suspicions it was due to a recently installed app, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas? Does it sound like hardware or software to you? Is there an app I can use to see what app is being used the most (in terms of CPU/memory/battery usage)?

Thanks both. I've restored the device and I'll see how that goes. In addition I've turned off Bluetooth since it doesn't work properly (the reason for doing the first reset). I'm finding if my headset goes out of range of the iPhone, it disconnects and never reconnects to the iPhone. If the headset is out of range for too long and I try reconnecting it via the BT menu option by selecting the headset, it tries to find it but fails. I end up having to completely re-pair the headset all over again.
Any reason for this or is it a known issue with the bluetooth?

My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket. Any ideas?

My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long. It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use. Any ideas?

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

IPod buttons not working/battery discharges very quickly

I have a 2GB iPod Nano. It was working fine until yesterday when suddenly the buttons and the click wheel stopped working. Only the hold switch works now. I was using the stopwatch at that time. Not only this but the battery doesn't even last over 10 minutes anymore, even though the ipod is in sleep mode and I'm not using it (because the buttons won't do anything!), whereas the battery would easily last a whole day at least before this weird button problem. It also connects to the computer with a lot of difficulty. Every time I plug it in, the Apple logo comes up and then the screen just gets stuck. I have to unplug it and then plug it back in several times before the computer will finally detect it.
I've restored it but to no avail.
Can anyone please help me out here?

The Ion Hub charger has been successful in a couple of cases - but no guarantee. For a lower cost approach:
= Reset by pressing Play and Menu at the same time - the standard first step.
= Apple has a tech support listing that may be relevant

NB520 battery discharges very quickly

Hi
My NB520 has recently developed a problem.
It was working fine and i charged it up to 99% then when i removed the charger, a message appears saying ''0:05 of battery remaining (99%)'' and then ''computer will suspend very soon unless it is plugged in''.
So even though it is registering the 99% charge it thinks there is only 5 minutes of operation time left.
Is this a battery problem or a motherboard problem?
Thanks

Hi
For me it looks like a battery malfunctionmaybe you could try to calibrate the battery several times in order to increase the performance but not quite sure if this would help in this case
To calibrate the battery you should discharge the battery until it would be fully empty. Then charge it again until the battery indicator would switch to blue or green (this depends on model you have).
If this would not help, I would recommend testing new battery.

IPhone 5 battery discharges VERY quickly; adjusts own brightness; won't connect to wi-fi.

For the past 7 months my phone has been dying faster and faster. I cannot take it anymore. My phone was 100% when I got out of my car, 34% when I got out of my 75-minute class and 11% by time I got to my car (3-minute walk). WHILE IN MY BACKPACK; NOT BEING TOUCHED. I plugged the car charger into my phone and the phone jumps to 54%. After 15 minutes of charging, the phone is 77% charged. By time my 1 hour and 15 minute class is over my phone is at 22%. I unlocked my phone to get to the home screen and I instantly receive the "10% battery remaining" pop-up, I hit OK, and then the 10% drops to 1% right before my eyes. This has been the norm for the past 7 months, so I have to keep an external battery charger on me. This is my second iPhone, my first iPhone was doing the SAME things that this one is doing. It also adjusts its own brightness. I slide it close to being all the way down to save battery. I can lock the phone and unlock it and the brightness is turned all the way up or intermittently moving upwards (to the right) on its own. My phone is constantly on 3G rather than LTE in the same places where I have always had LTE. Wi-fi will be on, but it won't connect to my home network or won't be able to find it although my iPod connects just fine. Sometimes it won't show ANY networks at ALL. I reduced my bill from 10GB to 6GB because I am tired of paying a $200 phone bill and I rarely ever go over 4GB because I always use wi-fi - at home and at school (& I work from home). I have since had to go back to 10 GB to avoid overages because my phone won't connect to wi-fi. My phone does not have any damage to it, just like my last iPhone didn't.
Hard resets and soft resets do not do anything. I prefer not to have to keep getting iPhone 5s.
Any help on solving all of these issues would be great. Thank you.

This is possibly caused by the updates, but some phones had bad batteries.
have you been dealing with Apple directly? You should. Only apple covers your phone..
Last thing you can try.
back up your phone, a full backup to computer is preferred
restore to factory. It is preferred you connect to a computer and use iTunes to restore to factory.
set up as new with iTunes.
Restore your phone from the backup on your computer.
If the problem is not resolved, please make an appointment with Apple.

T430-2342-CTO: 9-cell battery discharges very quickly

Hi, my T430-2342-CTO just arrived two days ago. I love everything about it, and I am really happy with my purchase. However, there is a bit of a problem with the battery. One of the reasons that I got Type 2342 was that it had a 9-cell battery, advertised to function for over 15 hours, an attribute that has been confirmed by multiple reviews. However, my battery struggles to last for 4 hours. I'm really not doing anything: I'm running Chrome (a browser) and Gvim (a text editor) at the same time, and that's it.
And yet, it doesn't last over 4 hours. My battery utility tells me that it can hold 93.6 Wh, or 5616 Ws, which is an extremely tiny capacity (if my computer ran at 100 W, then the computer would run out of battery in one minute). Why is the capacity of my battery impaired like this? Can I get a replacement? I have a 4-year warranty plan for the battery, but I am under the impression that I would have to buy a new plan for the replacement battery if I used that warranty on this battery. Is there some out-of-the-box plan that I can invoke? Or, better yet, can I fix my problems from here.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

At 93.6Wh, if your computer ran at 100W, it would run out in one hour, and not one minute.
You want to check what your rate of consumptions is. One of the key points is making sure the discrete graphics card isn't active all the time. That'll cut you rbattery life in half pretty quickly.
Also make sure you're not running too many resident programs because they all end up using some amount of battery life, and having a ton of those really adds up.

Battery BL5C charges and discharges very quickly

Hi,
I am using Nokia 1650, Battery BL5C. This battery fully charges in less than 1 hour(the messgae saying battery fully charged pops-up). And this, so-called fully charged battery discharges very quickly, in a days time and mobile gets switched off. Mobile is used only for making and receiving calls which are very few and also i usually do not use it for playing games on it. (Point is, its not so heavily used to discharge the battery so quickly.)
Is this battery problem or phone's hardware/software problem? I heard its happening to quite a many cell phones.
The mobile phone I used earlier also had this problem.
Thanks.

Try to calibrate it.
1. Run the battery empty.
2. Charge it without turning the phone on.
3. Once battery full, turn it on, and try to charge again until you get the full warning.
4. Let the battery run till dry again
5.Charge without turning the phone on
6. Boot then charge to full
Battery should be calibrated by then,.

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

When this problem will be solved, because before these updates were downloading not the battery so quickly. Did we revive the Steve Jobs to resolve the problem, because each update only worsens the operation. I look forward to a quick, effective and definitive solution. Thank You. Ester

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 !!!

When I plug my iPad up to charge it says not charging, and my battery drains very quickly what can I do to fix?

When I plug my iPad up to charge it says not charging, and my battery drains very quickly what can I do to fix?

There are two different types of adapters by Apple that look similar. One is a 5 Watt adapter used with iPhones and iPods. The other is a 10 Watt adapter used with the iPad. Other than looking at the text on the adapter, which is hard to read, you can tell the different by looking at the socket the pin part plugs into the adapter. The 5 Watt has two notches and the 10 Watt has only one notch.
Make sure you use the 10 Watt adapter with an iPad.

Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do

Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do. This problem only occured since last iOS 7.0.2 update

Poke around the settings. There's a lot of notifications turned on that you may not need. There's also the backgroun app refresh that will be using battery and the background updating of apps.
So turn stuff off, if it doesn't help another thing that you can try is to go into the settings and reset all settings. Which is a bit of a pain because you'll need to retweak everything, but sometimes starting fresh can clear glitches

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.
