Battery draining like ****

Good day to you all,
Just want to ask for an advice,
I have 4s running iOS5 did not upgrade to the latest version due to traffic issue at the mOment,
Anyway i noticed while using my phone that the battery is dropping 1% every     3 minutes , while i am using
Facebook messenger-logged on
Skype-logged on
3g -on
Siri - on
while typing in messenger or skype the battery is just dropping like crazy also i noticed that my phone is heating at the back
So i dont find this normal at all ,
If you have same problem I would love to know the solution to this . Thanks

Remove background Apps from memory. Press the Home button twice quickly. In the new row of icons at bottom of screen, hold on an icon until you get the Red Minus Signs. Tap all the Red Minus Signs. When done with that, tap the Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. When done with that, see if iPhone functions better.

  • Battery drain like crazy

    why is blackberry based?
    tteries draining like mad when phone is not in u

    I have a 9860 with excellent battery life. I suggest you take the battery out, wait a minute and reinstall. Maybe some App was running in the background.

  • Blackberry battery draining like crazy!!

    Okay, so my blackberry was working fine and suddenly one day when I just opened it up for about an hour the battery died. Then the next day it got worse and died in about half an hour. Now whenever I open it for about five, ten minutes it would either say "battery drained, shutting down handheld" or go black and I can't restart it. I tried to take out the battery and put it back in but most of the time it doesn't work. The times it worked and it showed me that there's 80% battery left!!! Before the autoshutdown it was showing 10%!!!! Could someone help because I have to use this BB for work.

    This is driving me nuts, but I solved it! Same thing, all of a sudden one day battery started to die after 30 minutes being off the charger, 3-4 calls, a couple texts and red warning of death shows up, blackberry (Curve 8530) shuts down. I did a little reading and it turns out what it is, is the CPU is working overtime on something unknown, possibly just stuck in a loop, and so just like a stubborn computer, I rebooted it. Just hit left-alt, right-shift, del keys all at the same time and hold it till it reboots. This is a soft reboot so you won't wipe it. Viola! Blackberry back to normal for full days use again. Unfortunatly, I went and bought a new battery in the meantime making the assumption. I hate to say it, but this is my last Blackberry, I am really tired of these silly issues with no support. It's driving me nuts when my friends flaunt their trouble free various smartphones. Along the line, RIM forgot all about customer support, there is no way we the customers should be left struggling with these issues on our own, time and time again. This is a common problem and no solutions coming from them directly. Sad.   

  • Battery drains like crazy, and now not charging fully! 3GS

    My 3GS was 100% at 9am. I got a text message at 9:36am, and the battery was at 97%, so I went to reply to it. My phone shut off, like it had a dead battery, so I put it on the charger. About two minutes later, it turned back on and said it was at 62% battery! So, I kept it on the charger. It got to 72% and wouldn't charge any more. I took it off the charger for a moment before putting it back on. It wwent up to 73% and said it was full. I did that a couple more times, but it stopped charging once it hit 74%, so I'm not sure what to do. I need my phone! I don't have a land-line, so this is the only way I can communicate with my family, friends, potential employers, etc.
    (I was having the problem of the phone shutting off before I upgraded to OS5, but it got worse once I upgraded.)

    It has never been dropped in water, and the closest it ever gets to water is being in my pocket or bag when it rains. I did a full restore, and it got worse...

  • IPhone 4S battery drain like **** after 6.1.2 update

    I had my iPhone 4S updated to 6.1.2 and the battery drop from 98% to 80 % in 1 hour without doing anything ( standby mode) .

    that's a common complaint.  You will have to wait until a fix/update is released by Apple.

  • BATTERY DRAINS SINCE AFTER THE UPGRADE TO OS 10.2.1.3442 ON Q10

    It's been over three weeks now since I upgraded my os to 10.2.1.3442 and ever since then my battery drains like mad.I constantly use device monitor to manage runing applications and even when most apps are idle and PIM is as low as 0.5%,my battery @97% would be indicating it can only last for 4hrs.This occurs all the time and no single time has been an exception.Suddenly my battery that can go even two days previously when fully charged can barely go 5hrs now.pls kindly assist with your ideas.I'v done several hard restart still no improvement.

    Those I've highlighted in red are extremely high.
    Do you use BBM very much, such as BBM Groups?
    Open the BBM app, tap the FEEDS or UPDATES tab and scroll all through that as far as you can.
    Close BBM and watch the same Dev Manager in two days, let's see if that reduces the BBM usage.

  • Heavy Battery Drain after updating to 8.1 Lumia Cy...

    After updating my Lumia 1520 to 8.1 Cyan update, the battery drain is very high. The battery is lasting only for 6 to 7 hours when the data traffic is on  (under  mixed use of 2G and 3G modes). I have noticed few other users were also experiencing heavy battery drain after the Cyan update.
    Will there be an update to fix this battery drain issue?
    When the phone was in WP 8 Lumia Black update, battery backup was around 24-30 hrs (when data traffic was on).
    What will be the workaround for this?

    Yep, my 1520 battery drains like a helicopter that's lost it's rotor after this 8.1 update.
    I was just boasting last weekend how awesome the battery life was on this phone, I drove 300mi with the GPS w/navigation, did some tethering to my laptop for work, went overnight..no charging, used lightly all the next day, few pictures, email, browsing, phone calls, and drove 300mi back on GPS/navigation and I still had 38% battery left.
    I updated to 8.1 sunday night, and on my normal commute to a customer in another state, which under 8.0 would have drained oh...mabey 4-5%, I was at 62% by the time I got to this customer yesteday.
    All I did was make a phone call, that's it. All background stuff is not allowed. location off, cortana off, ...still drains.
    Bad bad bad news. I'm not seeing much usefull ness out of 8.1, and considering the battery life and no real new features....just gimmicks if you ask me, I'm not sure I want to stay at 8.1 . I'm trying to give it a chance...battery life is still better than my POS samsung androids I've had in the past, but knowing how good it really can be...and no real features in 8.1 (I was hopeing they'd fix the imap email not allowed to map sent/trash/inbox issue)....eshh...what a mess it seems.

  • Battery Drains In IPhone 5s In IOS 8.1.1

    Hi All ,
    I'm Using Apple I Phone 5s White 32gb , Using 2G data That Too Very Rare..
    But After Updating To IOS 8.1.1 My Battery Get Drained Superbly
    My Phone Stand By Is Only 6Hours And 45 Minutes Only,
    Changed Battery From Store Also , No Help ,
    Seems There Is A Problem In IOS 8.1.1..
    We Need This To Be Fixed In Coming Update , R Else Apple Will Lose A Old Customer ..
    Is Any One Having The Same Problem ?

    I answered extensively in another forum.  Here is my reply.  I understand apple released today 8.1.2. I will check if it solves the issue.  I have the same problem with battery drain on stand by at 7 hours after doing everything you can read below. Hope it helps
    I had the same issue with iphone 5s (32gb) i upgraded as soon as the 8.1.1 came out and i suddenly saw the battery drain like crazy. In mid morning i was down to 40% and in the early afternoon gone.   I left it at night running on sleep mode and the battery was drained who knows when. I normally when i have 40-50% I leave it and in the morning i have a few percentage points left....but never nothing !1
    My wife is running the same phone on "8.02" and I did not upgrade hers, and no issues with battery drain there.  Now she refuses to let me touch her phone in case i upgrade and screw up hers too!.. she is right in not trusting these upgrades. !
    I tried all the tips and tricks that you read all over the web to stop drainage...from background refresh, to motion reduce, location, notifications...etc...believe me tried them all.
    I also restored the phone a few times to clean start (8.1.1),  and then also from my back up in itunes...
    Nothing worked. !!  My 5s becomes warmer than my wife 5s and there is definitely something running in the background that depletes the battery much faster.
    I went to check the battery with my mobile operator and they claimed there is no problem...but go tell the guy fixing screws on iphones that the web is full of reports on battery drain with 8.1.1 .
    After much research and waste of time...i managed to find the IPSW for downgrading to "8.1"  I did succeed to downgrade and i will be testing in the next few days if all is ok.  I will report any results
    I learned one lesson....don't trust the iOS  "upgrades" until a few weeks and month go by to check what effects they have on the phone !!   They sell you a phone for over 700-800 bucks and then you have to waste your time figuring out how to solve their software problems.Who is going to pay for my time?
    With a market valuation of over $650 Billion and the stock price over $110,  you would expect them to check thoroughly before they release a version to fix one device and screw up the others.  I guess Apple & Samsung are almost running a duopoly on Smartphones.  Yes, there is competition (HTC, LG, Sony, Nokia..)  there but if you want the most advanced model,  you need to choose between 2 or 3 suppliers.  Once all your data is connected to one Operating System, the switching costs to another platform becomes expensive..cause you need to buy a new phone and a new tablet and move all your data, settings..etc
    So for the time being i am stuck with iOS with an iPhone and iPad, and hopefully the downgrade will solve the Battery Drain of 8.1.1
    So my recommendation if you have an iPhone 5s :  DO NOT UPGRADE TO 8.1.1

  • Battery draining during stand-by time

    Recently my phone's battery life hasn't been as good as it was when I first got it. I haven't been using it any more than I used to, and when I am using it the battery life has been about the same, however I have noticed that when I'm not using it (stand-by) the battery drains like crazy. 10%-15% an hour during stand-by!! Any suggestions on why this could be happening? I just tried the suggestions in previous posts to turn off push notifications, email, all apps, and safari pages and then did a hard re-boot. I'm also in the process of letting the battery completely drain and then I will let it charge to 100%. Other than these suggestions, could there be something else that is wrong?

    Hi there avk111!
    I have some articles here that will provide some information about batteries in our iOS devices. These will help you understand a little more about your battery and the way the operating system reports the battery's status. These articles are mostly referencing the batteries installed in iPods instead of iPads, but the advice and information is still relevant to the iPad. The first article I can provide can be found here, and is an FAQ about batteries:
    iPod battery frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26689
    There is also an article that can help you extend your battery life in your iOS device, and can be found here:
    iPod: How to extend battery life
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1726
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • After updating iPhone 3gs to IOS 5 has no service and battery drains in like 30 minutes

    after updating my iphone 3gs to the IOS 5 firmware my phone has no service it says searching then goes back to no service i tried reseting it contacting ATT and they could not figure out the problem what can i do also the battery drains faster like in 10 to 30 minutes is fully drained. Was not doing this before the update please help

    Perform a restore without restoring from a backup and see if that resolves the issue. You could erase the phone from the phone itself if you don't want to mess with iTunes. I'd just backup with iCloud before doing this to make it really easy.
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
    Post back with your results. If that doesn't resolve your problem, you're more than likely looking at a hardware problem on the phone, which is probably out of warranty by now.    

  • I am using Iphone 5s my battery is draining like anything. Without using any application also it seems i am using iphone 5s but in show only really i am using like previous nokia 1100 model.

    I am using Iphone 5s my battery is draining like anything. Without using any application also it seems i am using iphone 5s but in show only really i am using like previous nokia 1100 model.

    Are there apps on your phone right now? 
    I think one of your apps is causing this.
    The only way to find out is to delete them all and then add them one by one to see what app maybe causing this.
    Especially if you've gone thru 3 iphones already.
    When you restored as new - did you sync back your stuff - apps/music or did you restore from backup?

  • I bought iphone just 10 days back and I update OS 4.3.3 as apple said, after that I am facing a battery drain problem and also it turn off automatically while I was talking on phone with friends and family. I  noticed 6 times. look like apple phone *****

    I just bought apple i phone 4 10 days back from AT &T Retail outlet, then I set up account on itune and i saw to update the software version and i did it to 4.3.3, after that I am facing  two problem 1) Battery is draining like water and 2) while I was talking on phone with family and friends It turn off automatically, Initially I thought I might made some mistake but afterward I noticed that It happen again and again without I touch anything on screen or at phone. I guess Apple suppose to do something and help the customers, anyway but I am still under 30 days warranty period I am going to return it back and I guess may be there are lot of other options available comparing iphone4. but Lets wait what kind of solutions apple bring to me.

    Do you have a question or are you just here to rant?
    No matter what the product, there will always be some off the line that are defective. It's a fact of life.
    The phone has a 1 year Warranty, not 30 days. I'm sure they'll be happy to replace it for you.
    Now, that said, have you bothered to sync the phone to make sure you don't have to come back whining because you got your phone replaced and now you can't find your stuff?

  • HT1476 Is it okay if you charge it's battery even if it is not fully drained like 40%?

    Is it okay if you charge it's battery even if it is not fully drained like 40%?

    You can charge it whenever you want and as long as you want, regardless of its state of charge. It is not possible to overcharge it. There are no rules with Lithium batteries.
