Battery is constantly discharging quickly

battery is constantly discharging quickly. Any workarounds?

Is your battery worn out? How long have you had it? Since the battery is lithium-ion, over time using the battery and charging and discharging over time wears out the battery. If you've had it for a few years, this might be the case. If it is fairly new, it might be just a bad battery. If so, you might need it replaced. The warranty should cover it. If this still does'nt help, describe a little more about the device. Depending on factors of the device the reason could be a lot of things. Hope this can give you pointers. Hope it helps!

The sync icon is constantly on-screen and battery is draining really quickly.

The sync icon is constantly on-screen and my battery is draining really quickly. I can stop it by re-starting the iPhone, but is this a known problem? The sync and iCloud seem to be working properly, but I can see the battery drop by about 1% every minute.
Sync is taking place over wireless, but even if I sync using the cable, the icon remains on-screen even when iTunes tells me that the sync is complete.

Yes, iOS4, latest and a 3GS.
So, with the home button double-tap, those two apps aren't showing in the recents list?
Nope, not showing: http://d.pr/CQnR

Did you reset like this?... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Did that as well, still the problem remains.
I don't know if I should really bother but I just find it weird and I think it has a slight impact on the battery time.

IO6 battery discharges quickly and every time I open an application, it crashes and closes

I upgraded to iOS 6 and since then the phone battery discharges quickly and every time I open an application, it crashes and closes. And finally, back to the home screen. I can not send messages, listen to music. And when my friends call me, the link is silent and then back to normal again and then is silent. Can anyone help me? I have an Iphone 4.

Restore your phone as a NEW device, not from backup.

Noika E5 Battery is discharge quickly

Hi All,
I purchased Nokia E5 on 1st May 2012 , i.e. 10 month before, But now from lst 2-3 month
come to know Battery is discharge quickly after making it full charge.
Can you please suggest , what to do ?
Can I get replacement of it , and how much time it will take to check battery ?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
PrashantJ

Is there any change in pattern of use ? Have you started using applications like WhatsApp that may be the reason !!
Anyway, the Warranty on Battery is 6 months so if the Battery itself is at fault then you will have to buy a new one. The actual checking time may be a few minutes but it depends on your local Nokia Care ..

My Iphone 5 is discharges quickly. What can I do?

ztolley, that information is inaccurate, Apple recommends a discharge once a month only for calibration purposes, not every week like you say.

Also manage your apps, sometimes weather apps and others that constantly update (facebook, etc) can cause your battery to drain.
Also, no app will constantly update like you say, push notifications are different from an app actually updating with information. Minimized apps are suspended until closed or re-launched. With that saying, turn off push notify for any app you don't need it for.

Battery - charging or discharging?

like many on here I have been effected by much reduced battery life following the upgrade to 3.1 and 3.1.2 - mine sits on charge for most of the day and so it doesn’t really effect me, however I do use my phone at night as a Night stand clock sitting in a charging dock. Night stand and similar apps allow you to keep the phone running i.e. no auto shut down and I have regularly recently woken in the early hours to a phone showing no battery life, despite it sitting in the charging dock it the icon showing it was charging.
I took the advice of another user on here and loaded an app called “system activity monitor” - this showed me that despite my phone saying it was charging on the icon the battery was actually discharging rather than charging, even when at say 50% power. The "discharging / charging" display keeps swapping on irregular intervals and I am just posting this topic to see if others have experienced similar issues. It seems very strange that the phone thinks it’s charging when it actually isn’t. - surely this must drain batteries. Also despite the discharging/charging problem I found that if I switch email to “manual” then I get through the night with 50% power remaining – last might I swapped back to Push and the battery was dead in about 4 hours – and that’s despite the phone being in airplane mode - Something with Push is clearly not right to drain the battery so quickly, especially when I had assumed if I was airplane mode the push would be automatically disabled!
any comments gratefully received
thanks

I have an identical issue to the one described by the IBM page - failure to charge, and sudden shutdowns, meaning I can only run with the battery removed and AC connected. I am aware the IBM replacement programme finished in 2008. What does that mean for me now? I understand that batteries are consumables, but this seems a specific technical malfunction.
If I buy a new battery, will I experience the same issues or have new batteries had their hardware corrected for this problem.
Thanks.

Forum Mods, Please make this a sticky: BlackBerry PlayBook battery power charge, discharge characteristics, and guidance on extending battery life

BlackBerry PlayBook battery power charge, discharge characteristics, and guidance on extending battery life
KB27705
Overview
The BlackBerry PlayBook may come to a power state where it is unable to power on; a Yellow LED may flash in a sequence of 5 flashes, the BlackBerry PlayBook may boot up to the BlackBerry PlayBook Logo and then power off, may not power on at all.
Discharge behavior under normal use:
Under normal active use, a battery drained to 10% will cause the device to prompt the BlackBerry PlayBook user (notification and audible beep)
Without connecting a charger the device will automatically shut down at 3.53V (0%)
Pressing the power button may allow successful boot, but it will turn off again very quickly
Discharge behavior under no use:
A device left unused but in ‘Stand By’ will warn the BlackBerry PlayBook user at 10% (notification and audible beep)
The warning may not be noticed and the device will go back to ‘Stand By’
Letting the device drain in standby mode drains the battery slower, but more completely
Device will still shut off at 3.53V (0%), but it less likely to successfully boot afterwards
Discharge behavior under 3.53V (0%):
If the device is left to shutoff, the battery will continue to drain below 3.53V due to quiescent current draw from the motherboard and the battery fuel gauge
With the battery between 2.7V-3.53V, pressing the power button causes the LED to flash a pattern (1 solid red light followed by 5 yellow blinks) to indicate low battery (PlayBook Tablet OS version 1.0.5, and above)
Below 2.7V there is no activity, or LED pattern displayed
Charge Behaviour:
The provided charger should be used to charge the device. The optional 12 volt rapid charger is may reduce charging times
to approximately 3 to 4 hrs. Standard Blackberry smartphone chargers, other AC adapter USB chargers, or computer USB ports
are not recommended for the sole purpose of charging the PlayBook as with these methods it may take more that 12 hours to
charge the BlackBerry Playbook.
If the battery voltage is below 3.53V(0%) then the charging behaviour is dependent on the software version. The charging code will limit the charging current to under 400 milliamps, during which time, it may take an hour to reach 3.53 Volts. Once the battery voltage rises past 3.53 volts, then "high-rate" charging will start. If, after charging the Tablet for 4 to 6 hours still does not result in LED activity, attempt to force power on the BlackBerry Playbook by pressing and holding only the Power Button for only 20 seconds.
Prior to BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.5:
A BlackBerry PlayBook will never charge while powered off in BlackBerry Tablet OS versions prior to 1.0.5.
The device will show a red light when the charger is connected and then nothing more
Repeated connection of the charger can recover the device in some instances.
Once the battery voltage rises above 3.53V the system will boot and the UI will show charging
Starting in BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.5:
The device will show a solid red LED, followed by a solid yellow LED as the device boots into charging mode. This is followed by a yellow pulsating LED indicating charging in progress.
The time span between the red and yellow lights can be as long as 45 seconds as the device boots into charging mode.
Once the yellow LED illuminates, the device can be started, but it is advisable to let it charge for at least 3.5 hours to achieve a sufficient charge.
The device will show a solid green LED once the device is fully charged.
Starting in BlackBerry Tablet OS 2.0.1:
Once the yellow LED begins pulsating indicating charging mode, if the BlackBerry PlayBook is disconnected from the charger, the following graphic will be displayed on the screen, indicating charging is not complete, and to reconnect the power source. The graphic will be displayed for 20 seconds before the BlackBerry® PlayBook powers off if the power source is not reconnected. The same graphic will also be displayed if the BlackBerry PlayBook is turned on and there is not sufficient power to perform the boot process.
If the BlackBerry PlayBook is plugged into a power source, and the power button is pressed to power on the device, the following graphic will be displayed if there is not sufficient power to perform the boot process. If this occurs, the BlackBerry PlayBook should be left plugged in to gain enough charge to boot.
Additional Information
Turning off the BlackBerry PlayBook and using standby mode.
Checking the battery power levelOn the status bar, tap the battery icon. When the battery power level is low, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will display a notification.
Enter standby modePress the Power button on the top of the BlackBerry PlayBook..
Exit standby modeSwipe down from the top frame to the bottom frame
Turn off the BlackBerry PlayBookPress and hold the Power button. Tap Shut Down.
To extend the BlackBerry PlayBook battery life, charge it regularly, close unused applications and keep the BlackBerry Playbook out of the sun and other hot places. The following may also be used to extend battery life:
Dim the screenOn the status bar, tap the Options icon (a gear), select the Screen tab and change the Brightness setting
Turn off the screen automaticallyOn the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the Screen tab and change the Backlight Time-out field
Enter standby mode automaticallyOn the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the Screen tab and change the Standby Time-out field

Pause apps when you show the home screen or switch between apps On the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the General tab and set the Application Behavior switch to Paused
With the upgrade to PlayBook OS 2.1.0.1032 the following message may be displayed when connecting the Playbook to a PC using the micro-USB cable:
Unable to charge battery with connected source
This message is displayed because the voltage provided is insufficient for charging. The USB voltage is limited to 384mA even if the maximum tolerance is 500mA. The voltage is limited to 384mA by design to avoid violating the USB specification which states USB devices cannot draw more than 500mA from the USB port.

My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off. check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

HT4623 why is my battery life dieing so quickly

I recently updated my ipad2. Since then, my battery life dies so quickly. I can use it once, close it, then open it again and the battery life is down 40%. I used to get two days of life before the update. I closed out all the "Location" request, the auto updates to apps, everything I thought was draining the battery life. Why?

I purchased an iPhone 4S on 5/3/2012. Yesterday (7/17/2012) the battery started draining very quickly. I make sure to close all the apps after I finish using them. I haven't had a problem with the battery until yesterday afternoon. Any suggestions?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Try these.

Battery indicator constantly flashing

The LED battery life indicator on the back of my iBook's battery is constantly flashing a single dot. This happens wether or not I have pressed the button on the battery and even when the battery status in the menu bar reads a 50%+ charge (shouldn't it be showing at least 2 dots).
Why won't it stop blinking? Why don't the lights match up with what is shown in the battery status indicator in the menu bar?

How old is the battery, and how long does it last when you run from it? Does it flash even when running on the adapter?
Normally, one flashing light indicates a dead battery. Sometimes when the battery gets old, the status of the battery charge percentage does not read correctly on the iBook's battery status indicator.
Sometimes calibrating the battery will make the battery status indicator reflect a more accurate picture of your battery status.

HT4061 ipad 2 does not restart when battery is fully discharged and has been put on charge - any one have a solution?

Problem with battery running down more quickly after downloading OS6 to 3GS iPhone

Problem with battery running down more quickly after I downloaded OS6 to 3GS iPhone.

gdgmacguy
I guess I should have asked for the "definitive" fix. I read several "fixes" but it seems no one knows if Apple has a definitive fix. Kind of like going into an Apple store and getting three different answers from three different reps. At least they are not rude and no, I don't have a problem searching the forum.

Battery run down very quickly, homebutton becoming hot

Those are not normal unless you are using apps that use a lot of power (like games & GPS apps).
Take it to an Apple store for a free consultation or take it back to where you purchased it. Make a backup in iTunes or iCloud before you go incase it needs to be exchanged.
It should have warranty for a year or more depending on your country & if you purchased Applecare.
I would also suggest you leave it powered off if it always gets hot & store it somewhere away from flammable materials – damaged batteries can be a fire risk.
