Battery life after recent update

Just installed an update on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus last night, which brought me up to 4.2.2. Battery life is absolutely non-existent afterwards. Normally, I go from 6:00 am to about 7:00pm before i have to put the phone on the charger. This morning, battery went from 80% to 14% in an hour.
Is there a way to roll back? Or is there a fix on the way? please help, as the USB cable plugged into my computer is not even able to keep up and recharge the phone with it on. It's off now, and charging, but that means i'm unavailable on the phone, not good.

No there isn't any official way to roll back an update.
I wouldn't use the USB cable connected to the computer to charge the phone. Plug it into the wall charger.

Shortened battery life after software update to version 10.1.0.4181

I updated my Blackberry software after being notified of the update last week Tuesday ie August 20, 2013. About 30 minutes after the update, I was just using the phone and the phone just shut down even though my battery indicator was showing that I have full battery. I did all to power it back all to no avail until I had to put it on charge that where I say that the battery has drained. But after about 2 minutes of charging the phone came on and the battery is showing that it is full. This has continued since then.
So based on my observation, my battery indicator no longer reflect the true battery status.
Please, I need help on what to do to solve this problem. For now, I don't know when I have full battery or when my battery is going down. I don't think it is wise to alway have the phone pluged on the charger as this I think might affect the battery. But I have had to resort to doing this since last week to avoid the phone shutting down suddenly when I'm in the middle of an important discussion.
I need solution to this problem please.

Hi There,
Have you tried to reload the software? If you have BlackBerry Link you can reload possibly to the older version of the OS, do the update afresh. There might have been some error during the update, also make sure you do the update via wifi.

Poor battery life after last update

Hello! I got my Z3 in March and when I got it I loved its long battery life. I'm a very heavy user of my phone and managed to get 8 hours of screen on time out of it in between charges. I'm not sure if it has been gradual or sudden but I've noticed that lately, the battery life on my phone only lasts for about 3 hours of screen on time. I use my phone for the same things as I did when I first got it.
When I got my phone it was preinstalled with 4.4.4, I got the 5.0.2 update in mid-april and I got the 5.1.1 update a few days ago.
Here's some screenshots of my battery usage. http://m.imgur.com/JWe4Bt4,ybDx4wq
Also, I have quite a good knowledge of how android works and what can drain battery etc.
When I got 8 hours of screen on time when I first got it I was running google now and google fit (step tracker) and I stopped using those when my battery life started getting worse.
Please help! Thanks.
Jack

Hi @Redindian
You can try boot your device on safe mode like this to see if the issue persists:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-to-boot-your-phone-into-safe-mode/m-p/348008#U348008 Check this link too: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz3/faq/My-battery-runs-flat-too-fast/
Also I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information like this:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253
Then try performing a system repair using PC Companion:
http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP.
I hope can be useful and I'm at disposal for any question.
Best Regards,

2012 MBP Retina showing 25-35% drop in battery life after Mavericks update

I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks on the day the new OS X version was released, and since then my battery life has dropped by about 25% to 2.5 hours when running resource intensive applications such as video playback or photo editing, and by about 35% to about 3.5 hours when running regular applications such as email and browsing.
Now, from what I understand from Apple's aggressive marketing campaign about Mavericks' numerous added features, battery life should improve from more intelligent CPU and memory usage compared to its predecessor. Clearly, that's not been the case for me and what looks like several other users. I'm wondering if this issue has been taken note of by Apple and if a patch is in the development for release soon. Also wondering if there's an easier resolution for this issue.
My Macbook configuration is as follows.
SDS

I ran some more diagnostics on the low battery situation and found Google Chrome to be the source of a high battery drain. Chrome wasn't an apparent battery drain source since the new significant energy consuming apps feature in OS X Mavericks also lists Safari when simply browing. To ascertain the relative magnitude of the battery drain from different browsers, I had to completely switch to using one or the other. With Safari, my battery life is in the range of 5.5 to 6 hours (browsing + intermittent high intensity apps use). This is marginally better than OS X Mountain Lion, but better nevertheless.
Complaint redacted. Looking forward to the next Google Chrome release that is compatible with OS X Mavericks.

I have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded to iOS 6. Based on posts regarding battery life after this update, I want my setting for "Use Cellular Data for" iCloud Documents to remain off. However, it keeps turning back on...can I avoid this?

I also wanted to note that this setting goes back to On even if I have not turned off the phone...but it also does this when the phone is turned off and then back on.

I am seeing the exact same thing on iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
Steps to reproduce:
In Settings:General:Celluar, check to be sure the following is off:
iCloud Documents
iTunes
Passbook Updates
Reading List
Check back to the same screen after 5 minutes (while not on Wifi) and iCloud Documents is back on.
It's burning through data like mad.
I know I could kill iCloud on my devices or turn off Cellular data, but neither is a solution.
Apple, are you aware of this? I think most people assume that users just don't know how to turn this off. That's not the case, it's coming back on by itself.

I Have been getting BAD battery life after the ICS UPDATE !! on the DROID RAZAR MAXX have this happen to any one else ??????

i have been getting really bad battery life after install ICS on my droid razar maxx i can only go 1 day and 3 hours where i used to be able to go 2 day easy have this happen to anyone else can someone tell me how i can make my battery life better??????/ and do i need to let my phone go complete dead before fully chargeing it again ??????
before install the ICS update i had 30 percent of battery life remaining so i pluged it in and let charged for a little bit while it updated my phone and ever thing after it updated i unplug my phone and started playing on my phone to see what ICS was all about but when it got to 15 and said " connect to your changer so i did !!!!! should i haved let my phone going complete dead since i unplug without it fully changer or does it matter ?????????????? if someone could please help me !!!!:)

What was your battery reading right after the update when you unplugged the phone? I have never let my Maxx drain further than 20% battery ever before I charge it. Yesterday after the update I also played more with the phone trying to learn the OS, as did most everyone on this forum. Give it a few days of your normal use before you decide your battery life has decreased. I took my phone off charger today at noon, it was 100%, and now it's 80%, with about 30 min talk time, and mostly standby. that's about normal batt life for me, maybe a little better than before the update. I'm still going to watch it for a few days before I make a conclusion about battery life.

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

Wireless driver triggers warm/hot macbook and low battery life after OS 10.8 mountain lion upgrade

Hello frustrated Macbook users.
I have tried to get help on other Apple discussions but no one seems to want to help, they aren't actually reading my posts, or they hate me for some reason.
No matter.
If you have a warm Macbook that has 2.5 hours of battery life where you used to have 4 or more, please do this simple procedure and write the result below.
Turn OFF Airport wireless networking
Perform an SMC reset (Power Manager)
Connect an ethernet cable and use your Macbook normally. (but do NOT turn on wireless networking again)
How is your battery life after doing this?
I have a user over here who reclaimed decent battery performance if he doesn't use his Airport wireless.
I need confirmation.
If so, I may get a USB wireless adapter and see if the battery life stays good.
Bonus points: If you have a Mac compatible USB wireless adapter and got good results by turning off the built-in adapter, want to test it for me and report the results?
Thanks and good luck!

UPDATE:
Problem persists when using Recovery Partition.
Chance sthat it is third party softwae or updates is more or less eliminated.
Update 10.8.3 beta fixed the problem for one lucky early adopter.
Hypothesis: New battery charging algorithms programmed into Mountain Lion OS10.8 triggered problems from design flaws that were NOT an issue for OS 10.7 and before.
Battery replacements were successful where the replacement battery was built within tolerances that did not fail under 10.8's new charging algorithms. Other bateries did not meet those tolerances so you would get spotty results from battery replacements. It worked sometimes, but not always.
OS 10.8.3 may have adjusted these algorithms to be less demanding on the features of the battery that were failing.
Official word from Apple is 'mum'.

HT1414 anyone noticing a decline in battery life after downloading ios7????

anyone noticing a decline in battery life after downloading ios7?

I have an iphone 5. Ios 7 is a disaster for battery life! It used to drain about 1% every two hours, 5% over night roughly (not being used). Now it is draining at double the rate. It drained 10% over night and it isn't even doing a thing. I think something is clocking up usage when it's idle.
Screen brightness is minimal.
Background app updating is restricted to one app which isn't running the majority of the time.
Dynamic wall paper and other stupid stuff is all turned off.
I can't turn off the stupid clock animation. I wonder if working out how that is displayed is the issue???
It shouldn't be draining at 1% per hour when not even being used.
Favourite locations is still switched on.
Is there any benefit in turning off wifi and using 3g data only? I had the issue before that having 3g enabled meant double the battery drain so I only used it when I was out.
Ipad mini seems fine though. Battery life is same as last ios6 ie about 14-16 hours use.
I now have caret running to find out what the rogue thing is. The majority of the time few apps are running at all.
My general average usage is 12-15% per day if lightly used and 25-45% if it is moderately used. Now the phone is draining at 25-33% a day when lightly used!
Beats me why an ipad mini which is advertised at up to 10 hours on wifi nearly doubles that and the iphone which is advertised at the same rarely reaches it. I usually get 8 hours of active use if I'm lucky. Now it's more like 5-6 which is hopeless.

HT3775 Quicktime no longer plays wmv files after recent update

after recent update, quicktime will not open wmv files. had no problem opening them up in the past. reinstalled flip4mac codec and nothing. don't want to use quicklime player 7 b/c need to use fast forward option that will not work with QT7. Any help is appreciated.
thank you,
Damian

I ended up on the phone with an Apple iPhoto expert after scheduling an appointment online (go to Apple support). He spent an hour or so diagnosing my particular problem and was able to fix it. I can once again view all my mov files in iPhoto. Since every computer is different, you might want to try that route. He was able to view my computer screen and direct me to do different things.

My imessage is not Working after recent update

My daughters iMessage & FaceTime no longer work after recent update, can anybody help please?

It's mostly a server issue because millions of users are trying to do the same. Apple's servers get bogged down. Try waiting a bit - a day - before trying again. You can also check out this for other things to try.

After recent update to Mountain Lion, trash won't empty completely; says "item" inuse

After recent update to Mountain Lion, trash will not empty completely. Always an item left in trash, and I get message that the "item is in use." Right now, using app Trash it! to get rid of that left behind item.

Try rebuilding Trash and see if that sorts it...
Launch Terminal and copy & paste these commands:
Go to /Applications /Utilities/Terminal and launch it.
At the prompt, copy and paste this command
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Press Return.
You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will be invisible.
Enter it and press Return.
Log out and back in or restart.
Let us know.

HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

"UPAD lite?"
I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
