Battery gets low as soon as I use my incredible. Verizon worker said this is better than iphone

my incredible's battery goes low as soon as I start using it. Verizon tech said this was better than an i phone.

I may have corrected the problem. It took several starts of iTunes, each time navigating to my podcasts and right clicking on 2-3 and unsubscribing from them before it went to 25%, became unresponsive, and required shut down from the task manager.
As soon as they were all unsub'd, iTunes went silent on CPU usage. The APSDaemon.exe shot up to 25%, but a reboot and a restart has everything quiet. I've accessed the store, played some songs, downloaded one. So far, so good.
I'll be back here to report any change.

    its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

    Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • My phone seems to delete contacts and info when the battery gets low, is there a solution to this issue?!

    After the most recent update, I've noticed a couple MAJOR changes! 1) The battery life can barely make it through half the day. I have to keep charging it no matter how little I use it. I've even turned off apps running in the background, it didn't make much difference. And 2) When the battery gets really low, at the 10% mark, it deletes contacts and settings. I've lost so many contacts all of the sudden and I constantly have to restore my iPhone. It's so frustrating! And when the battery gets low, it also deletes my e-mail account to receive e-mails on the phone. I'm tired of having to constantly reset my phone carry a charger with me, it's not reliable any longer and I'm not sure why. Help??

    Here is some information on the applecare +:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

  • Does Apple want you to let the battery get low once a month or completely  drained to zero%?

    Does Apple want you to let the battery get low once a month or completely  drained to zero%?

    Of course, if you use the device it is likely that you will have charge cycles in any event.
    On devices with percent charge indicators (iPad, iPhone) I believe that Apple recommends a charge cycle once a month to keep the percent indicator accurate.

  • My iPad battery getting low quickly when im playing games. What should i do ?

    My iPad battery getting low quickly when im playing games. What should i do ?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

    My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC.  I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

    I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
    If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
    A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

  • I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

    I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

    Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing.  Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade.  The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back.  When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again.  Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

    Hi rixa03!
    I have a couple of troubleshooting steps for you to try to resolve this issue. First, you should try closing the app according to the instructions found on this website, which is a troubleshooting assistant for the iPad:
    Apple - Support - iPad - iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/#section_3
    If the issue persists, you may need to try resetting the iPad, the instructions for which can be found here:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If you wanted FaceTime, you should not have purchased your phone in the UAE. There is no way to add it back to your phone, as it has been permanently removed.

  • Computer Shuts Down When Battery Gets Low

    I have a few interconnected issues and one peripheral issue:
    1) When battery charge gets down to between 20% and 10%, by MacBook shuts off. It doesn't go to sleep. It just shuts off.
    2) Battery loses charge quickly (I get about 1.5 hours of use out of it, which is no good for a machine that's a year old, right?)
    3) I think the machine runs to hot and fan gets too loud.
    The above all occur when set for "better battery life" and when doing light web surfing, ichat, and playing music in itunes. I did the firmware update and no change to these problems.
    Then there's this...
    4) Distorted screen, specifically horizontal green lines, when trying to watch a DVD through FrontRow.
    Anyone experience this? I just am curious what to expect before I take the machine in...again (it was treated for RSD).
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I'm running on battery now.. saving all my work diligently pretty much every minute on the minute... currently 1hr 42mins remaining of battery life - so it says.
    This compleatly unnanounced shut-down has happened twice to me now, and it's very disconcerting. This is the only problem I've ever had with my MacBook (bought it August last year) and is annoying as I KNOW it was this 'update' is responsible. I lost about 40 mins of work because of this yesterday and am pretty annoyed about it frankly. My battery seemed fine before hand - I actually was typing away happily on it in the back of a four hour car journey just last week, eeking out the charge by turing the screen right down etc. SURELY if this is known, and is obviously software/firmware created, Apple can offer a similar patch to correct it??
    I'm in the UK and a day-trip away from any Apple Store. Do I have to phone Apple and ask for a replacement battery? Is that how it works (like I said - I've never had technical difficulties with my MacBook previously). I searched the site and found this number: 0870 876 0753, I think that's right. What should I have ready on the phone?
    REALLY hope this can get sorted soon as I can't really trust the machine at the moment without it being plugged in, making taking it out anywhere (which is why I got it - and loved it) pretty redundant.

  • Battery gets low, computer won't come back out of sleep for 5 min.

    Here's my problem:
    I'm using my computer without it plugged in and I get the usual warning about reserve battery, and then about 10 or 15 min later, the battery gets so low that it puts the computer into sleep mode. All of this is normal. My problem is that upon connecting the power adaptor, my computer does not start right back up.
    On average my computer has to be connected to the adaptor for about 5 min before it will even start back up.
    I'm going to have a talk with Apple about this, and see if I can get my battery replaced. I've posted this problem in the forums before, and yes I've tried permission repairs, volume repairs, battery calibration... the works. So if anyone here has any other ideas before I take my computer in, I'd love to hear them.
    Thanks,
    -David Crow

    Hey David,
    Well I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago. My computer would go into sleep mode, so I would plug it in to my adapter, and it would remain sleeping. Although, you say about 5 minutes yours comes back one? Well I could never get mine to wake up from sleeping, I would have to restart it. The thing being that it wouldn't even let me restart it for awhile. I took it into the Apple Genuis Bar and they reset my power management, which isn't hard, and ran some diagnostic test. They didn't find anything wrong. You can call Apple and have them walk you through resetting your management, because I don't remember exactly. I know I probably didn't help much, but I just wanted to let you know, your not alone!

    You're copying and pasting this in several threads. It is not a one-works-for-all solution.
    The STL100-1 model has some known issues of dropping charge quickly as he describes.
    Other users have been able to rectify this issue by leaving the device connected to the wall outlet charger AND with it connected, removing the battery a few minutes and reinserting the battery. Disconnecting from the charger as you're pasting doesn't do it.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • Just curious as to if I should be charging my mac every time im using it or when the battery gets low? i just want to make my battery last.

    when im not charging it I find when im doing a lot of browsing on social media and with pictures it goes through it fast kinda, and when im just writing documents it doesnt go as fast. My friend said I should only charge it when I need the computer for a long time.

    Here is what Apple suggests:
    For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal. When your battery no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs, you may choose to replace it. If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
