Battery Drains while I sleep

Need some help here - unfortunately Apple wasn't too helpful...
So after I get home from a hard day's work, I shut off, bluetooth, 3G, put my phone on my night stand and go to sleep. I start with about 80-90% battery life.
When I wake up in the morning I have about 20% battery life.
After scrutinizing "usage", it appears that my phone is "in use" while I'm asleep - I went to bed with about 10 hours standby, 2 hours usage
I wake up with 20 hours standby and 12 hours usage.
Went to sleep after a powercycle & reset the next day, ensuring that location services & wifi were also off.
Same problem when I woke up.
Went to apple store - Genius listened to me, took said phone, gave me a new one.
My new one worked great for about 2 weeks, but now the symptom has returned.
Please help me figure this out - I get enough calls and work strange enough hours that I need my phone when I sleep.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I plug it in when I'm asleep. But your phone should not be doing this. Usually this means that some application is running while the phone isn't in use. Do you exit to the Home screen before going to sleep? Assuming you do, it is only internal apps that can run in background, and the most likely suspects are mail and Safari. Mail can sometimes hang if it has trouble connecting. Safari can use power if you leave it on a page that automatically updates. To test if it is either of these, try force quitting them before going to sleep. Open the app, then press and hold the Home button until the Home screen appears. This kills the app completely, including any background processes.

Iphone 4 battery draining while in sleep mode

I have noticed over the past few days that after putting my iphone 4 into *sleep mode* and not using it for several hours that the battery percentage is significantly lower after powering it back up. I first became aware of this after waking up to find my battery was at 50% (8 hours before I went to sleep it was 90%). Just today I was using my phone and the battery was at exactly 85%, I turn it off and an hour later I check the battery at its at 77%!!! I then go for a 45min run (leaving the phone at the house) and coming back I see that it is at 73%.
I don't know if this is a battery issue or a problem with the wifi/3g working when the phone is in sleep mode. My parents both have the 3GS and they do not experience this with their phones.
I have had this phone for 2 weeks and I don't want to have to send it back so please tell me this is a software/settings problem and not with the hardware!!
I haven't changed any settings or downloaded any apps since I got the phone (Except for the free case app). I did however sync my email address with the phone so it may be a problem with that I don't know.
I am also on the original firmware that came with the iPhone 4 I have not updated that yet.

I think it had something to do with the signal being weak. I normally keep my phone in the basement where my computer is and often there is only 1 bar or no service at all. In order to make contact with the cell phone tower the phone has to work harder therefore using more battery. I put the phone upstairs in my room last night where the is better AT&T signal and my battery has not dropped off at all.
That could be the issue. Your phone is only getting 1 signal or no service, and is trying to work hard trying to find good service in your basement. Try setting the phone on the first floor where you get good signal and see if that fixes your battery issue,.

Battery drains while sleeping after RAM upgrade

Installed 16 GB of RAM and a Hybrid/SSD 1 TB internal HD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012 and now the battery drains while the computer is in sleep mode, about 1-3 % per hour. Before the RAM upgrade (stock 4 GB of RAM) there was no noticeable battery drain, so I assume it has to do with the upgrade. I read that it takes more power to maintain 16 GB of RAM during sleep, so my questions are as follows:
Is 1-3% per hour normal?
Will resetting the SMC help the issue?
Does the Hybrid HD have anything to do with this?
I am not too happy about the battery drain as it happens that I don't use my laptop for some time and prior to the upgrade the loss of battery charge was not an issue at all. Is this the price I have to pay for maxing out my RAM or is there a way (resets, settings, etc) to reduce the amount of battery loss
Thanks for your input.

Hi everybody. I have the same question. I have a macbook unibody late 2008. I have recently upgraded the OS to Yosemite. In order to have a smoother functioning of the system I have immediately replaced my original 2Gb (1+1) RAM with 8 Gb (4+4). Since then, I have noticed a dramatic reduction of my battery charge during sleep mode. Now after 8 hours of sleep it goes from 100% to around 65% (before it was 95%). Is it a natural consequence of having installed a larger RAM or there could be anything wrong with my settings?
I have read a couple of articles about standby mode and standbydelay setting but this does not apply to my model of macbook.
Here is my pmset -g result:

Battery drained while computer in use. Plugged in and computer will not turn on. Does the battery need to reach a certain charge level first? Battery is 3 months old.

The battery drained while using the computor so we pluged it in but computor will still not fully turn on.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button for about 5 seconds to turn off the Mac (it may be turned on), and then, press it again. If it doesn't work, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If nothing works, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired. Also, if you have its charger connected to the computer, is the charger light turned on?

This setting is designed to help conserve the health of your battery if you tend to use your laptop while plugged in. It's not good for the battery to be held at 100% for long periods of time, so instead this setting stops chargins when the battery reaches 60% to prevent battery damage.

Lumia 820 / battery drain while charging

I have the Lumia 820 with the Navigon navigation app installed. I went on a trip this past weekend and noticed a strange battery drain while driving to my destination. The drive was a little over 2 hours and I was charging the phone the whole time. I figured I would test it on the drive home. I charged the phone completely before starting the drive home. I was camping so I had to use the lighter jack in the car which is always on and charged the phone from less then 10% to 100% overnight. Again the drive was a little over 2 hours, had the Navigon app open and running the whole time and the phone was plugged into the lighter and the charging icon was registering a charge the whole time. The only other thing running was cellular data. NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, Nokia Drive, all off. When I arrived home the phone was at 45% and was very hot.
I upgraded from the Samsung Focus and using the Navigon app in the same car never ever had less power when I I ended a trip to when I started a trip. I use the Navigon app all time so this is a real issue. I am also going to post this on the Navigon website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Solved!

I didn't have any problem with charging the phone, but I have another problem with the battery, I noticed that sometimes my battery started to drain so fast (I mean from 100 to 10 in less than 2 hrs!!!), even when I'm not using the phone! and when I pick the phone the area on the right hand side of the rear camera (which I believe the CPU located) is warm (it's not hot but warmer than rest of the phone). I managed my background tasks, etc. but didn't work. It seems that there is bug which sometimes the OS won't release (terminate) the processes (even after closing the app). I tried turn the phone on/off but didn't work until uninstalling the last application that just installed or opened. It happened 3-4 times and the last one was today when I opened my Nokia Music. At first I thought may be it's because of the 3G usage, but even after switching to the X-Box music to stream from my Micro-SD card the battery was draining fast.

MBA 2013 battery drain quickly during sleep after updated to mavericks

Hi,
After I updated to mavericks this Tuesday, I noticed the battery drains quickly during sleep mode.
Before the system update, everything was ok. Each night after I closed the lid, it went to sleep and the battery only droped less than 5% after sleep of the whole night.
But during the last two nights after system update, it drained more than 50% of the battery during 8-hour sleep. I could feel some heat on its back when I picked it up. I did not change any system setting or installed any new apps.
my MBA: latest 2013 version, 13 inch, haswell i7, 8G ram, 256 SSD.
I liked my mba so much because of the long battery life. But now It was really annoying because I have to charge it very often.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Hi Hans,
There's another thread going with the same issue as you... check:

MacBook Air 2012 Severe Battery Drains While Sleeping

Hi there,
This isn't any new but I've looked through all posts I could.
I got a refurbished MacBook Air 2012 in July. In the first 2 weeks it worked fine (or I was noticed).
Then I noticed the battery drains fast while the system sleeps.
I have done tests in the past weeks; almost 20% of battery drain after slept a day.
I have tried everything I could: turn off PowerNap, no wake from BT devices, erase and reinstall OS
None of above helped.
I have tried to modify hibernatemode to 25 and it worked ok; 2% of battery dropped after 12 hours.
I took this to Apple in Taiwan and they told me they couldn't do anything about it because they think it's software conflicts which does't really have a solution but wait for OS updates. They did run a diagnostic and everything turns out to be fine.
I just did reinstall the OS again and I'll see whats going on tomorrow morning.
If still not getting better I will just use hibernatemode 25.
Anything recommandation is more than welcome.
Thanks.
My OS version is 10.8.3.

Tried hibernatemode to 25 and still not helpful at all.
Battery drained 8% after 10 hours of sleep while mode 25 should put my macbook air into deep sleep and consume very minimal power.

Battery drain while laptop is off

I just bought a GS70 2QE-066US STEALTH PRO with 970m
I notice that when the power is off, and charger unplugged, overnight the battery drains from 100% to about 60%.
What is the issue here? I hope this is not a defective laptop?
And also, I am using the "shut off" option, so it is not sleeping.

Last night, I turn off the "quick boot" option in Power Management in Windows as well as turning the "Legacy USB" option in the BIOS to auto. After leaving the laptop off for 7 hrs, the battery drained by 2%. I believe this should be the normal drain.
I might just have solved the problem.
I will do another test later, by leaving the laptop off for 12 hrs, and see how much the battery drained.
Somebody told me to use the Battery Calibration utility, so I did, but it is stuck at "Now Discharging Time Remaining 180mins" for about 20 mins. Let's see if it will progress soon.
Edit: while running battery calibration, the laptop made some strange noise and shut itself down. Upon reboot, the battery is at 0%. Now I am recharging it, then I will do a test and see how the battery drains.

Macbook pro battery drained overnight in sleep mode

Hi Marvin,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with battery drain on ThinkPad T440s.
Please go to start control panel, and click on power option and click on Choose what closing the lid dose. In the third option (When I close the lid) check if it is selected sleep option on both On battery and Plugged in option. If not please change it to sleep option.
Please check the below image for further assistance on the option.

Battery Drain - iMAC in sleep mode

I hooked up my 16g iPOD Touch to our iMAC, (USB connection) left it alone for a few hours-all set right? Came back to use the Touch and noticed the battery was drained. So I plugged it in again. The indicator shows it is charging, so cable is fine. I am thinking that when the iMAC goes to sleep it stops charging. If so, that bites but I understand. But why would it drain so fast? The Touch was half charged this past test and down to 20% in no time. Nothing running on the Touch.
Don't remember reading anything saying the USB port dies when in login mode or sleep. Usually don't charge it with this MAC, so sorry if this is an old problem. Usually use my MACBook or AC to charge.
Would you agree it's a sleep issue doing the battery drain?
Thanks

Yes, it because the compute is asleep.

Incredible Battery Drain While Phone is OFF

I'm on my third Sprint Pre right now and thought I finally found some rock-solid hardware. Sadly, there's this strange problem affecting the battery of my phone. When the phone is on, the battery operates like normal. When I turn the phone off at night, I get the low battery symbol the next morning... it's draining like crazy (I've turned it off with close to a full charge too).
To give you a comparison, while the phone was on and in standby for five or so hours, the battery merely dropped 2% or so. While off for less than an hour, I had a battery drain of ~10%!
So I ran a little test. I shut off the phone and then replaced the battery. No problems the next morning. Thought the problem was resolved. Turned the phone off the next night and the following morning I'm greeted with the low battery signal again.
My theory (I think it's the only plausible one) is that the phone is not shutting off completely and something continues to run therefore draining my battery. Hence removing the battery while it's "off" and then placing it back in completely turned the phone off resulting in no battery drainage.
Is there a solution to this problem without resorting to another exchange (I highly doubt it)? Doctoring didn't help by the way. Each refurbed unit I got fixed one problem and added others. Aside from this battery problem and some minor light leakage, this unit is quite solid. I love webOS, but the shoddy refurb quality is giving me a headache...
-UPDATE-
Strangely enough, both batteries I tested were defective. What are the odds? Sprint replaced the battery and now all is well.

My theory (I think it's the only plausible one) is that the phone is not shutting off completely and something continues to run therefore draining my battery. Hence removing the battery while it's "off" and then placing it back in completely turned the phone off resulting in no battery drainage.
My battery was driving draining too which was really annoying. I use it extensively to make Long Distance business calls and it would die after 20 minutes or so. I didn't try taking it out when the phone was off but I did get a free replacement so I think there must have been a batch of defective batteries. london

Battery drains while asleep

Hello,
I have a MBP 2.2Ghz, fairly new, running OS 10.5.2. I've noticed recently that when closing the lid, putting the computer to sleep, the battery drains fairly quickly, not what I'm used to with a sleeping laptop. If I close the lid for 2 hours, I lose 10% of my battery. If I let it sleep all night, it's pretty much dead in the morning. That doesn't seem right.
I know the MPB is asleep, the light is pulsing. But could there be something running in the background that is draining the battery? How would I debug this?
Thanks a lot! This forum is most informative.

There are three possibilities here: 1) the computer isn't really asleep, 2) you have a USB device connected to the computer that is drawing power, 3) there's something wrong with the computer and/or battery.
You mention the flashing sleep indicator so that suggests the computer is going to sleep. But is it staying asleep? You might want to open the Console and see what is happening between the time you put the computer asleep and the time you woke it up. If you put the computer to sleep at 10PM and woke it at 7AM there will be a few entries around those two times involving the computer sleeping and waking but nothing in between. If there is, you know there's something going on.

Battery drain while using Safari after 8.2 ios upgrade?

Anyone else having battery drain issues after upgrading to 8.2? When I use Safari a lot, I notice the battery drains quickly. I see that the Safari loading icon is often animated.
Also, I saw a suggestion to turn off motion and fitness tracking or something in the privacy settings, but I don't see that option in my iPhone 5. Can this be turned off on iPhone 5?
iOS 8.2 has been terrible for me. How was this allowed to get out of beta? Dictation is screwed up in Safari, and it doesn't fix the longstandig copy and paste bug (in Safari the cut/select/copy options disappear after half a second) nor does it fix the atrocious way that Safari reloads tabs when you toggle between them. The tabs didn't used to reload every time before ios 8. The reloading of the Safari tabs makes you lose anything you have written in forms on Safari pages.
Apple really needs to get its act together. The software has been so much less reliable than in previous years. Are the beta testers even doing their jobs?
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions about the battery drain issue or anything else mentioned here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Facing battery drain issues after upgrading to 8.2. turned off location services and background refresh for a bunch of apps and also turned off motion and fitness tracking but still battery drains no matter what you do.
iOS 8.2 is terrible for me too.

IOS 5 rapid battery drain (including in sleep mode), springboard crashes: FIX!

OK folks, I resolved all issues in their entirety with the help of a genius bar tech who recognized that I was very technical. WARNING! Sync or backup your phone prior to performing these steps!
First, do a MANUAL download here of the IOS 5 that matches the model of phone you have and save that image to your desktop or some other place on your computer. PUT THE PHONE IN DFU MODE, not recovery mode (google on how to accomplish if you are not familiar). The raeson why you are going to put in DFU mode is so that you will be able to not only get a good copy of IOS 5 installed but to ensure that your firmware is not corrupt, which appeared to be the case with my battery drains and springboard crash issues.
One you are in DFU mode (your screen should be black the whole time, again google), open itunes and it will give you a warning that says that your phone needs to be restored. If you are on a mac, hold down the option key and press RESTORE in iTunes. This will open up a box that will allow you to "locate and select" a file, which will be the IOS 5 image that you manually downloaded before.
Once you do, the iphone will start to restore. After all of the restore cycles have been completed, you will be prompted in iTunes to either setup as a new phone or restore from backup. I USED RESTORE FROM BACKUP so that I could preserve all of my settings. Everything has been working PERFECTLY ever since completing these steps! I will probably go ahead and make a separate thread related to this fix.
I hope this helps! Scott

Their is another thread in here that mentions turning off reporting of Diagnostics data (Settings --> General --> About --> Scroll to the bottom/Diafnostics --> Select Don't send.
Another item to check are you E-mail accounts. If you only have one account in this section then you should be good. If you have multiple and have every feature turned on (Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc) then your device could be trying to update to all and timing out which would get it to retry over and over again. I have turned off all the other features for my email accounts with the exception of iCloud and my battery life is looking good.
