What do you mean by not very long? How many hours?

My new Iphone's battery does not hold charge for long; do you have the same problem?

Greetings, I had a new iphone 4S - bought March 2013, died suddenly September 2013. Iphone replaced by a new one, which seemed to work fine. Suddenly, noticed three days ago that the battery does not hold, even for one day, even with very little use. Charged battery yesterday morning, as it was dead, used phone a few times during the day, still had half batery full at bed time; this morning there was no battery at all - had discharged completely overnight doing nothing. Has anyone had this problem?
It means that I will have to travel a long way to the nearest store to have it looked at. Had already done this last September to replace a dead phone. One would have expected better quality and reliability from a Company like Apple.

Sounds like the battery needs replacing. Bring the phone to Apple for battery diagnostics.

Battery does not hold charge for long time, battery does not hold charge for long time

The battery drains rather quickly after charging, with little use.

Without knowing how long rather quickly is and what little use is:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iphone will not stay charge very long ever since the last software update

Contact apple support so they can run a diagnostic on your phone to look at the battery. 1-800-My-Apple

Help!! My IPhone 4 is 1.5 yrs. old. The battery will not stay charged for a whole day. I am not using internet more than 1 hour, not listening to songs or anything else. I have restored the phone and still the battery life is horrible.
Any suggestions.

Hi pakala2022,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is not charging past 48%. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

To show the battery percentage used go to settings
from there click general scroll to usage and select
scroll to bottom of page for battery usage select on.
This will show the icon battery and the percent numbers on the top right.
When phone is connected to an outlet sometimes it does not always show complete charge. I do not understand why but it is what it is.
FYI I sent reply to you not to deggie. You can have your own satisfaction to reply direct.

Battery will not stay charged

My daughter's ipod, an Xmas present, has a battery problem. It will not stay charged. We took the ipod to a store. They reloaded software, said it should be fine. I went home and charged it for SIX HOURS, and it held a charge for oh, about half an hour.
So now we sent it off to Apple. And without contacting me first or anything they say it is FINE (have they charged it and then waited to see if it HELD the charge, boy i doubt that) and are sending it back.
That is why my alias is "inhell." Because I am. Any body have any ideas what is wrong with it?
Any way to convince Apple that they have to try to USE it before they tell me it is FINE?
Thanks.
Best, Genie

8830 Battery does not hold charge

8830 does not hold charge even after 12 hours of charging. I cannot find new battery in any store, I have tried Verizon, Best Buy, and Radio Shack. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have seen the batteries at BestBuy, perhaps not yours.
You can buy another same battery at another carrier, Tmobile or ATT as well.
Get the 88XX - Green (lime) (C-X2) - 900mAh <<--is that the color of your present battery?

I already have 590 battery cycles.80 % capacity. the MBP is only 1 year old. is this healthy? any tips?

i already have 590 battery cycles. the MBP is only 1 year old. is this healthy? any tips? Im already at 80% capacity.

battery cycles dont mean anything except in the old age of the battery
short term abuse kills a battery, NOT battery cycles.
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The main quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

New Battery does NOT hold Charge

I just received my new battery from the Battery Exchange Program - the battery is actually worse than my original, it is still HOT, and holds a charge for about 20 minutes - maybe 30 at the most - ?
What do I do? Does anyone else have this problem??
thanks, Mark

My replacement battery did not even last one calibration cycle, as it never held a charge again at all.
Here is a link to another thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=678318&tstart=0
Both of ours were replaced for a very similar issue, so it may be worth a try to give AppleCare a call.
If you already sent the recalled battery back, get a case I.D. from AppleCare for the defective replacement battery. If possible, ask someone at your local Apple store if they have any in stock instead of waiting for Apple to expidite one to you. Apple retail staff are able to expidite the exchage at the store level, but you must have a case I.D., since it is not the recalled battery they are replacing. I only suggest this route, because there is an estimated four to six week wait for replacement replacement batteries; however, it only took a little over three weeks for mine to ship.
I hope this reply helps provide some direction!

Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

HP 4340s Battery does not get charged.

Hello everybody
I own a Hp probook 4340s. The battery was just fine, like holding up to 5/6hours charge. One fine (!) morning the battery stopped getting charged. I thought it was battery fault and I purchaged a new one and that also doesnot charge.
If I take out the battery the laptop works fine with the AC adapter. But if I put the battery in and plug the AC adapter the computer does not work, the indicator blinks 8 times in white color (generally, color of indicator is orange when it gets charged) and then stop.
I dont know where the issue is.. from the little I understand the battery is fine the charger is fine but for some reason the circuit inside the computer cannot charge the battery?!
Can anybody help please?
Thank you for listening me and highly appreciate if I get the right solusion.

Hi,
