Battery drop problem

It seems a common problem for new Blackberry OS. I tried to report it to the issue center. But I didn't get any useful suggestion. He told me to create a report via "Help" but I can't without an valid incident number. Here is the problem:
The common view (no serious investigation) is that since the version software has updated (In my Q10 is 10.2.1.2977), the battery consumption becomes more serious than before. I don't know what causes their problem, but in my part, the system process eats the battery every a certain duration (don't know how long, happened 2 or 3 times per day), and the battery usage line increases dramatically and returns to normal level several minutes later. I checked every process that I can see in the system monitor, there are several cases. Sometimes, "standby" process has the same phenomenon at the same moment, sometimes it's PIM Services. Besides, BBM and Location (GPS) also happened to chew the battery. At the same time, the phone becomes really hot. What's more, the solution is to cut the network (not wifi nor data connection, it's the phone communication network). But it can only stop the issue for this time. I also find in one picture from internet, that someone sent to a BBS forum, a stair form of battery line usage where the drop is very slight. He said he only received 3 or 4 calls during that time.
When these cases happened, I didn't do nothing. The phone became warm by itself and even hot.
Does someone know how to solve the problem? what causes this problem? Thanks
The first 4 pictures is the case of BBM.
And the next 2 picture is the case of GPS.
These last ones are the case of "system" process.
I also have the picture of PIM service battery usage and cpu usage line in my phone.

I understand that we are not allowed to downgrade to the last version of OS. I really wonder if apple is suppose to be responsible for this fault or not? Is it our problem that we chose to upgrade to their new software from their request but ended up with such a problem.
I think it is only reasonable that they solve our problem or allow us to downgrade since they are not yet ready with their software. Which I don't think any of the apple staffs is looking at this or they simply ignored....really makes me want to switch to other phones eventhough I've been using iphone since they first launched.

I just upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad4 and found it got bettery drained. Followed online tips but not working. In 2.5 hours w/o doing anything, the battery dropped from 100% to 77%. Help!

I just upgraded my iPad to iOS7 and got battery drain problem. I followed the tips online to turn off all the unneccessary features and seems not working. Because this morning, the battery drops from 100% to 77% in 2.5 hours and I didn't even work on it yet. The smart cover is already closed.

If you followed these steps : http://www.apple.com/ie/batteries/iphone.html , you can attempt to restore your device (back up your information first ,if you don't have a backup) and see if that changes anything. If issue persists , you can contact Applecare and explain the steps you followed . Don't forget to mention that this started happening after you updated to iOS 7 .

Battery drops on 3G activation

Hi to all,
From a month I have a strange problems.
With iOS 7 my battery life start to be a bit poor... In first time i thought it was an intense use of whatsapp or fb messanger or many notifications.
But the phone last about 5 hours of activity and 8-10 of standby.
Now I've update to iOS 8 and the battery is getting worse. (restore in DFU mode as new phone)
Now the battery last 2-3 hours and what i've found out is that if I activate the 3G the battery drops immediately...like today i have had 87% of battery life and after just activate 3G it drops to 35%...
I think its not normal...
Do I have to replace the battery? or maybe its a software problem (ios 8 bug?)
oh and I also recalibrate the battery but the problemi is there
thanks a lot in advance

I suffered the same problems until I read some of the helpful hints on some other discussion lines. My phone was discharging completely in about 9 hours after the upgrade but one simple hint seemed to work.
Basically the solution that worked for me was to reboot the iphone i.e. hold the sleep and home button simultaneously for about 10 s until the apple icon appears on the iphone.
So for those tempted to install OS4 the strategy is:
(a) install itunes 9.2
(b) connect thephon to the computer
(c) install OS4
(d) after the install is complete and itunes has finished with the phone
dusconnect it from the PC.
(e) put the phone in sleep mode
(f) recharge the phone
(g) reboot the phone
After doing that (tho in my case betwen step (e) and (f) was 18 hours and it was two recharges not one!) the phone battery should be restored to normal (<5% drain in 12 hours since midnight).
Some discussions suggest it might be the location finding functions causing the power drain. That wasn't the case for my set up as location functions were off and remained off during the battery drain phase. I have also left multiple apps 'live' since the reboot with no excessive power drains.
A clear indicator that the power drain is back to normal is the phone's temperature. It was quite warm to hot during the post OS4 install and discharging quickly, but after a post-install phase reboot (g), some 18 hours after upgrading the OS4, the phone started to cool (slowly). Some 2 hours post this 2nd reboot the phone was at normal ambient temp (cool to touch - it is winter in Melbourne after all!).
All this suggests to me that the automate reboot during the OS4 install isn't sufficient, and a manual reboot with the phone not connected to the computer (in my case a ASUS laptop running Win 7, and Itunes 9.2) is the solution for the present.
Nil Desperandum!

MBP battery dropping fast

Hi,
had been browsing hte forum for days and cant really find the answer to my query.
i had my MBP for 6 mth, i'm displaying my batt status in %.
what happen is the % of the battery drop very fast, like less then a min drop to 1%.
In 10 min , it can dropped to 100% to 88% while i'm just browsing the net.

..... and I have a similar problem with my new replaced battery. My Apple reseller replaced my old 17" MBP battery on last Saturday but I noticed a strange effect today. Yesterday I shut down my MBP by 50% and I only had 43% this morning.... yes I alreday calibrated the new battery as described in the Apple Manual. Furthermore, I lost about 20% while I was importing 4 Audio CD's in iTunes. Do I need to replace the battery again? Or do I need to calibrate my battery again?

IPhone become hot and the battery drop

Hi All,
My iPhone is having problem. My iPhone is 3Gs, 32 GB, OS 4.2
My problem is: the phone suddenly become hot and make the battery drop, and it's already happened for 1,5 weeks. It seems my iPhone is reading something (perhaps some application) but I don't know what.
Can someone help me?

There is some application that is stuck trying to send data. The most common app to have this problem is email, but first try a full reset (if you haven't already: Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, ignoring "Slide to power off",
If this doesn't fix it next try the following:
Go into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar. Tap each email account that uses PUSH and turn it off (turn off the ACCOUNT, not PUSH). Close Settings and open the email account; verify that the account does not appear. Then exit Mail to the Home screen and do a reset again.
Once the phone comes back on go into Settings and turn the email accounts back on. Fully charge the phone and test it again.
If you still have a problem you may have to restore the phone. Connect to iTunes and click the Restore button. If you have previously restored or updated and that did not fix it this time set up as a new phone.

Yoga 3 Pro Battery Charging Problems

I've combined several discussions into one because there are multiple cross-overs of symptoms.
After reviewing all the posts, I see there are two types of problems discussed:
Battery charging but only to a certain percentage
Battery intermittently charging
Several people have reported success with their limited battery percentage problem by following the solutions suggested by MarinM and Vladtech.
For the intermittent charging, several people have reported that sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to dig into these reports. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
When does it charge, when does it not?
Are there any patterns to this?
Does swapping electrical outlets make a difference?
Does the USB 2.0 charging port appear loose?
Does the cable show any signs of damage?
Does the AC adapter show any signs of damage?
When a second device is plugged into the extra USB port on the AC Adapter, does this impact Y3P charging?
Are there any battery error messages?
Thank you for your help,

2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months? Battery/charging problems!

Hi everyone,
It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem on my iPhone 5S ...
Have been working with an Apple agent via chat and I'm 99% certain it's a software problem, but I can't isolate wish software ...
So, I'm going to set up my iPhone up as new (when I did this as part of identifying where the problem is, it help its charge for 24 hours) but I have a problem with photos ...
I can see photos on my iPhone (restored from an iCloud backup) up to date, but on my iMac/iPhoto with my iPhone attached i) I can only see photos on my iPhone up to a date in the past (mid October 2014) and ii) iPhoto says all photos have already been imported ...
How can I (can I) get the more recent photos onto my iMac e.g. into a folder and then import them from there into iPhoto?
Also, why is the restore from an iCloud backup taking so long (it's been 14 hours now) when I'm pretty certain everything's now there that should be?

Just to add ... my real problem is that I can see photos on my iPhone, but in iPhoto with the iPhone connected, I can only see photos up to a certain date - weird?!!!

Drag and drop problem on Lion... doesn't work

Hi,

I've tried repairing disk permissions directly from lion and then from the repair disk partition and it has been no good.
Any ideas???
I have a MBP 15 in, 2.8 ghz intel core 2 duo. 4 gb ram.
And hey, since i installed lion computer is soooooooooooo slow, any tips will be highly appreciated.

drag and drop doesnt work at all, no matter what i try to do it doesnt work.
on desktop i grab a file and then try to drop it on a folder and doesnt drop.
on mail i grab an e-mail and try to place it on a folder and it doesnt drop.
i movie i select some photos, try to drag them to the project area and they dont drop i have to copy/paste in order to transfer them.
itunes i grab a file from my music library and try to drop it to a playlist and it doesnt drop
it is really really annoying.
any ideas????

Drag and drop problem from wizard inside another drop

I am using JDK 1.5.0_11 Swing.
I am facing a Drag and Drop problem which is described below:
A drag and drop operation invokes a wizard, from which another wizard is invoked. Within one of the panels of this 2nd wizard, I am trying to do a drag and drop from a JTextarea to a JTree node, but am NOT able to. I am not getting any exceptions. I have written a transfer handler for the JTree node to handle the text transfers from a JTextArea. When I try to do a drag and drop from a JTree node to another JTree node I'm getting the 'InvalidDNDOperation: drag and drop in progress' exception.
When the 2nd wizard is invoked directly, I am able to do the drag and drop from JTextArea to a JTree node and also from a JTree node to another JTree node.
I tried spawning a new thread for the 2nd wizard, but am still unable to initiate drag and drop.
Should I be spawning a new thread for the 1st wizard?

Is the 10.7.2 fixed battery drain problem ?

there is no information anywhere and I wonder if this problem is fixed ?

I wonder what percentage of users has that problem? Maybe I need to retest that one Unibody MacBook battery again with Snow Leopard, we always got poor life with Windows on it.
I will double check also the new 2011 MBP, unfortunately, we have no reference to what is a good battery life on that one. It is a new system. It definitely had no effect on our old white MB.
(Now I am having serious battery life problem with my 2010 Touch could that be an OS?)

Fix battery discharge problem?

I have been working with this for 2 weeks w/o success.
Lawrence Finch and others have helped.
First, I tried the battery recalibration and it seemed to work.
I could pass the " battery drain test".
That didn't last.
Now, when I redid the drain test, neither the usage time nor
standby time changed in 5 minutes - that's weird.
Next, I'll try Scotty's suggestions about Background ap refresh.
Following a suggestion, I upgraded this week to iOS 8.1
Alas, that failed, too.
After upgrading to 8.1, the problem remains.
After recharging my phone, I use for one or two calls, one or two messages.
Otherwise, it has been sitting.
During the first upgrade to 8.0.2 some weeks ago,
I added a pass code and downloaded NUMBERS, an app I use heavily on my Mac.
Could either of those be the problem?
I've searched the on-line manual for how to delete NUMBERS to no avail.
I just redid the"battery drain test" suggested weeks ago: noted standby and usage times, pushed the standby
button to put it to sleep, came back 7 mintues later. Result: no change in either standby or usage times.
Previously, I did get a result indicating a battery drain problem.
The battery is dead in 24 hours.
Should I give up and head for the Apple Store?
I'm really getting frustrated.
Thanks so much for your patience,
Thanks in advance for your help.
Many thanks for your previous responses and suggestions!!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Macbook pro 2011 battery dropped to 30% after 300 cycles

Hello ,
I have a Macbook pro early 2011 and I have noticed that the battery suddenly is draining too fast , after installing battery health it seems that in 2 weeks the battery dropped from 86% to 30% and there is the service battery sign
Please help !
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):    1696
Fully Charged:    Yes
Charging:    No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):    1696
Health Information:
Cycle Count:    304
Condition:    Service Battery
Battery Installed:    Yes
Amperage (mA):    -133
Voltage (mV):    11953

Cycles mean almost NOTHING, its short term abuse that matters.
1. did you often drain the battery very low?
2. did you often /always have your macbook on charge,......or did you often / always BOTH have your macbook on charge AND in sleep mode?
3. did you often /always play realistic heavy graphics games ON battery on your notebook?
1 or 2 and 3 are harsh on the battery chemistry and therefore its longevity
all batteries are consumables meant to replaced either in their own "due time" or early due to abuse / misuse.
Proper understanding of a battery charge cycle
A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, whether that is at once, or over several shorter battery discharges and recharges.
Two examples for clarification:
As a first example, where one fully charged battery is discharged down to 10%, then fully recharged, then using 10% of that full charge, this counts as 1 cycle since the total of both discharges is 100% of a full charge of use.
In the second example, where one fully charged battery is discharged down to 40%, then fully recharged, then using 40% of that full charge, this also counts as 1 cycle since the total of both discharges is 100% of a full charge of use.
While both examples are that of a single charge cycle, the first example is more aggressive against the lithium battery chemistry than is the second example. In short, collective overall gentle shallow or mid-range draining of your lithium battery is a better use condition than is the first example of deep-draining of the battery. While both are quantitatively identical as a single charging cycle, they are wholly different qualitatively on the battery chemistry, which is directly related to its ultimate longevity and health.
In short, it is the near and mid-term life of the battery as relates to its proper care (or lack thereof) that is to be looked after.
Priorities in order of decreasing importance for battery care are:
1. Avoiding deep discharges of the battery.
2. Avoiding having your battery constantly on charge or on charge and in sleep mode.
3. When playing graphics intense games, use your notebook plugged in when possible.
4. Reduction of battery cycles by plugging into power when on the go, or when accessible.
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 vitally important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery, much more so than is the counting 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 greatly hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
Understand that a charge cycle is a general parameter of use, but is not directly related to the short-term or mid-term abuse of the battery, which can rapidly hasten a shorter lifespan, regardless of what the actual cycle count on the battery indicates.
Proper considerations for near-term care of the battery is of utmost importance. Abuse of the battery is entirely avoidable, long-term eventual old age deterioration of the battery is entirely unavoidable.
Apple’s adaptive charging system mitigates much potential for accidental battery misuse or abuse; however it is still readily possible to abuse the battery and thereby affect battery health.
