Battery Life is simply Stunningly GOOD now on Lumi...

Credit where credit is due. That battery now lasts amazingly long. I'm getting 2-3 days with light use.
Well done Nokia.
(Now fix camera, softkey lighting and tethering).
WP is dead

I decided to keep a record of how it performed today
Left the house at 7:40 92% 1day 4 hours
10 50 74% 18 hours
12 28 64% 17 hours
12 38 61% 11hours...after some facebook
12 53 58% 16hours
13 34 53% 13 hours
14 28 48% 10 hours
15 45 40% 8 hours
Just got in at 16 37 34% 5hours
9 hours since last charge....now it's on 34% and all it's done is email syncing over 3 every hour....For a smartphone that IS appalling. It's better than my first lumia I had ...I think.....I mgiht need to swap...again....
I was on the engadget post about the statment from nokia regarding the latest update and was accused of being an "underinformed fanboy" because I find it unacceptable that nokia suggest turning 3g off and stuff like that to get a full days use. LOL

Is it preferrable to use iPhone 5 to accommodate the new iOS 6 than maintaining my current iPhone 4S? The battery life is not that good after updating my iPhone 4 S to iOS 6.

I've updated my iPhone 4S with the latest iOS 6 but battery life had never improved as I expected. A friend of my had recently replace his iPhone 3GS with iPhone 5 and both us compared our simillar daily usage of browsing, emails with attachments (work related), messaging (via iMessage, WhatsAppa, WeChat) games, facebook, tweet, uploading, etc, it seems that iPhone 5 last longer by 35-40% compared to my iPhone 4S. By. The time he hits 60-55% on his iPhone 5, my iPhone 4S Is less than 15%... My Questions to the community or any Apple Consultant, is it preferrable to replace my beloved iPhone 4S with iPhone 5 in order to accommodate the performances of iOS 6 and the "coming soon" iOS 7? Is it a practise to replace every iPhone when there's a new iOS update? Please advise.

It largely depends on how much money you are prepared to spend.
Your question is much like asking "I have last year's model car. This year, the car has some new features. Should I trade in last year's model and get this year's?" Well, maybe. It's your call.
Each newer generation introduces some new features and capabilities.

Here we go again. 5.0.1 has terrible battery life AND loses 3G connection now!

I have another friend with the same issue, battery life is horrible still, dropping 10% in minutes. The phone also loses 3G connection, which I'm guessing is the problem because the radio is working overtime to reconnect.
What the **** is going on.

It's a conspiracy against you

I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since. I was making it thru the day with about 75% left. Now it's only 3:30 pm, andI'm at 50%. Any solutions, yet!

I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since.I was making it thru the day with about 70% battery life left. It is now 3:30 and I'm already down to 50%. The upgrade worsened my situation. Any help out there?

I had the battery problem. I upgraded the to iOS 5.0.1 last night and at least that problem seems to have been fixed. However, the problem with no audio on phone calls remains. Have not tried swapping the SIM card yet. The ATT guy says that they have resolved 90% of the no audio issues with a new SIM card. Not sure athat what has to do with anything but will try that first before requesting a replacement phone.

8220 battery life problem

Hello everyone,
I've had my 8220 for almost exactly a year now, and for most of that time it's been great, albeit somewhat neutered by being on Vodafone pay-as-you-go. Then, sometime in November last year, I started to have problems with the battery life being quite short.
Now, I don't use my phone for much, it used to spend most of the day turned off (not complete off, just on standby) and would turn on twice a day to remind me to take some medication for a sleep disorder I have. I would have to recharge it about once a week, maybe once every 10 days. But since November I have to recharge it about once every 2 days, and that's without using it as more than an alarm clock!
I bought a new branded battery (from an Amazon UK marketplace seller, so I can't be 100% sure it's legit) and tried that, and nothing has changed. It loses a good 20-30% charge overnight, even if I use full power off. I thought at first it might be because the phone basically spent its life powering on and off without being on for very long, maybe that did something bad to the battery life over time; so now I turn the phone on when I get up and leave it that way all day until full power off before I go to sleep.
I don't have much installed, just Opera Mini and Empower Central+Task Manager (which I installed after the problems tarted to graph the battery usage)
Things I've tried:
Going through all open programs and choosing 'close' - only default programs open (messenger, browser, home screen, phone, messages) and they just re-order themselves if I choose 'close' - no change
New battery (as detailed above, from Amazon UK marketplace) - no change
Charge using mains adapter instead of USB cable - no change
Charge to 100% using mains, pull battery, wait a couple of seconds, replace, continue charging - it still said it was 100% charged after the battery pull - no change
Upgraded OS (from .155 to .305) - no change
Does anyone have any more ideas I can try to get back the decent battery life I used to have?
Is my phone faulty?
Any help or advice gratefully received!

MBP 15" Retina Battery Life Problems

Hello all!
I recently got the highest end MBP 15" Retina and it runs AMAZINGLY fast, but the only problem I'm having with is the battery life.
For example, right now, at 100% charge, the predicted time is 4 hours and 35 minutes, but it's plummeting very quickly; I don't think I'll get more than 1 or 2 hours.
On the website, the average predicted battery life is almost 8 hours. I understand that the numbers on Apple's website may not be exact, but I feel like getting a quarter or even half of the advertised battery life suggests there is something wrong as well? o-o
I'm not doing anything intensive on my computer either; just simple web browsing and chatting on Skype.
I've searched the internet for solutions, and I've already tried resetting PRAM AND NVRAM settings, I've turned off Bluetooth, and checked off all of the Power Saver settings in Preferences.
My battery's condition is "Normal" since I recently purchased it.
I'm curious if anyone has a solution to this problem? (To give an idea of how fast the battery is draining, I started writing this post with 100% battery, and now it's at 98% several minutes later)
If anyone has any advice, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advanced!

Skype is one of the most resource hungry application that one may use. It will drain the battery very quickly. When using it, connect your MBP to the power adapter.
Read the Apple hype regarding battery run time. The operative term is 'UP TO' not will achieve 8 hours run time. In the 'real world' conditions, battery run time will be determined by the number and type of applications you are using. If you are just text editing, you may very well get 8 hours from from the battery, but certainly not with Skype games or video.
Ciao.

Battery life issue related to display/graphics?

Hi
I bought a refurbished macbook pro last May. And the battery didn't even last 2 hours and half, which i found it weird since the macbook pro i had before(2007 model) had battery life of 3hours and half.
a month later i bought it, i started having issues with screen. the screen started flickering/flashing randomly. i got the display replaced last week i think, but the screen is still having issues and battery life got even worse! now it lasts 1hour 45 minutes(screen brightness set at 50%) and i'm only browsing the web...
(i asked the apple staff about it, and they said they ran a test and my battery is normal )
it just got me thinking, if the issue is not in the battery, there must be something else that's affecting it...and maybe somehow the screen issues i'm having are related to the battery life.
is it possible that something else is draining the battery power somehow..
I was just wondering what people think about this... this is frustrating and i don't kno what to do...

HT201401 Can anyone confirm that 12 hours of low to moderate use is acceptable battery life for an Iphone 5. That is all I am getting. I am using the phone less than I have used any Iphone I have ever had. The battery life between charges is less than hal

I am very disappointed with the battery life I am getting out of my Iphone 5S 64G. I charge it every night, and would be lucky to make 15 to 20 minutes of calls during the day and yet I am lucky to get much more than 12 hours of life out of the battery.
I have to make a conscious decision not to use it to avoid it running out on me. I had it back to the Apple Store last week and they ran diagnostic checks on ot and said that the hardware was within specs.
They replaced the software as it was showing that Springboard had crashed on several occasions. The other problem I was complaining about was that at least 2 or 3 times a day, the phone would refuse to wake up when I hit the home button. It would take sometimes up to a minute of pressing the button before anything would light up. The guy at the Apple store said that this was caused by Springboard crashing and that this would also be what is reducing the battery life.
I did notice that after they replaced the software, the waking up problem appeared fixed for a few days, but the battery life had not improved. Now the waking up problem is starting to return.
It is very annoying and somewhat embarrassing when you are with a client and go to make a call and your shiny flashy new Iphone 5 won't even light up. Especially when you have to borrow your clients Nokia....

My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

Odd battery life issues after improvement w/ 5.1

I have an iPhone 4 GSM (AT&T) that was experiencing significant battery life issues with the previous version of iOS (5.0.1?).
After updating to iOS 5.1, the battery life improved signifcantly - I could now get comfortably through a day with 50% remaining at bedtime versus 20%.
In the last couple weeks the battery life started getting worse and worse, to the point where I could barely get home from work and it would be 10-20%. I started to pare back the settings like Location Services, notifications, frequency of email checking, etc. with no improvement. I noticed the phone seemed to be running warmer than usual, so I thought there may be some software issue causing an infinite loop...
I Reset Network Settings as I've heard that can help - no difference. Then I wiped the iPhone and restored from backup - no difference. Finally I wiped the iPhone and set up as New, only installing a few apps and being very conservative with push, GPS settings etc. I am still down to 20% by 5 pm, and this is with light use. Wifi is on all the time, which is what I primarily use, but it never caused this much drain.
It's also quite variable - the other day I made it home with about 70% battery life, but then it dropped 25% in 30 minutes with only light usage (email/web).
Is the battery itself going bad, and/or is there any way I can test it? I got this phone as a warranty replacement (probably a refurb) in July 2011 so I don't think the battery is that old.

Just an update. I totally wiped my iPhone 4, and turned everything off including keeping it in Airplane Mode and it seemed to help a little - it was over 80% at noon without any use. Of course, the phone is useless like this. As soon as I turned wifi on at work (still left the cellular radio off) it started dropping fast.
It must be the battery going bad, but I was just wondering if there are any other suggestions. I don't want to pay to get a new battery installed if I don't have to, since by this fall I will be eligible to upgrade to iPhone 5 if it comes out.

Mbp retina display battery life issues

When i bought my laptop, the battery life was around 7 hours. now its barely 3 or 4.
I have tried to enter:
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
rm com.apple.desktop.plist
killall Dock
this works sometimes, but other times it does not. Frankly, The issue of battery life should be one of apples first priorities.They promise us amazing battery life, and they dont even fix it in an update. If anyone has any advice, please help me. If an apple employee is reading this shame on you and please deal with the problem in OSX 10.8.4, or a minor update for retina display. I was told this is only a problem with mountain lion users.

Hi Solid,
The article below will explain how to optimize the battery life on your Macbook Pro.
Apple - Batteries - Notebooks
The article is more detailed, but this section is worth noting:
Optimal Setting
You can choose to use your Apple notebook in a way that maximizes its battery life.
Energy: The Energy Saver control panel offers several settings that determine power levels for your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Your portable knows when it’s plugged in, and runs accordingly. When on battery power, it will dim the screen and use other components sparingly. If you change this setting to maximize performance, your battery will drain more quickly.
Brightness: Dim the screen to the lowest comfortable level to achieve maximum battery life. For instance, when watching a DVD on an airplane, you may not need full brightness if all the lights are off.
AirPort Wireless: AirPort consumes power, even if you are not using its features to connect to a network. You can turn it off in its control panel to save power.
Bluetooth Wireless: Likewise, you can turn off Bluetooth to maximize your battery life, as it also consumes power when not in use.
Applications and peripherals: Disconnect peripherals and quit applications not in use. Eject CDs and DVDs if not currently accessing them.
You can also check to see the status of your battery with the information in this article:
Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count
I hope this information helps ....

4S battery life and getting hot

Hi
I am aware that there have been in the past battery issues/heat issues with iPhone 4S and iOS 6.
Device is ~2 years old. Brand new/unlocked from Apple. Under Apple Care warranty until October I believe. I bought it off a friend who upgraded to iPhone 5.
Recently the device has begun to have battery life issues and it gets warm whilst I am using it. When I stop using it and put it down, whilst it's locked etc it will eventually start to cool down. It's not so hot that I can't handle it but I can feel the heat through a plastic hardshell case and it obviously feels much hotter if I handle the phone when it's not in a case.
Couple of notable recent issues were last night I had 25% and then I opened the Facebook app and all of a sudden got the "Less than 20%" warning notification and it had dropped straight from 25% to 17% and today I've had the phone on for about 2 hours and it's already down from 100% to 58%
iOS version: 6.1.3
What I have done...
- Tried charging to 100% and then turning off data network and WiFi, then turning off the phone and disconnecting the charger and turning it on after about a minute or 2.
- Reset all settings.
- Charge to 100%/Backup/Erase all contents and settings and then set the phone up from scratch again.
What's on:
- Data network ...but I frequently turn this off/on because it cripples battery life so much for me now.
- iCloud sync but only for notes and contacts.
- 2 mail accounts
What's off:
- Safari (disabled in Restrictions)
- Location Services/GPS (also disabled the ability to change whether LS is on/off in Restrictions)
- Bluetooth
- Push notifications for most apps
- Push email. I have this set to fetch, manually.
What's sometimes used:
- Siri
- WiFi (remains Off when not in use)
Apps: I leave Facebook and Facebook Messenger logged out when I'm not using them. Push notifications are off for everything except Instagram and Snapchat but I use those very infrequently.
Anybody able to shed light on this or is it just that the phone is nearing the end of its life-cycle now at ~2 years and it needs to be replaced? I'm contemplating trying to find a 4 on iOS 5 and never updating it - I don't like 6. I really hope 7 is more gentle with batteries.

Did you transfer the backup for your 3GS to your iPhone 4S?
Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
If no change after a reset and you transferred the backup for your 3GS to your 4S, try restoring your 4S with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from a backup to see if this makes any difference.

E75 poor battery life indicator

Hello-
Has anyone experienced problems with the battery meter (and battery life in general) on the E75? I consistantly have half to 3/4 charge then the meter drops drastically to about 2 bars, then dies shortly after. This has become increasingly annoying as I never really know how long the phone has left, and have to constantly keep it on the charger.
Thanks

I have the same issue. The battery life indicator just isn't accurate at all.
However, my battery life so far so good, it lasts 2 days on average, sometimes 3 days if low number of calls/sms.
I found out it's 2 contributors that affect the battery life tremendously. 1 is if bluetooth is left constantly on, it drains battery quite fast. 2 is if I enable my Notes Traveler to auto-sync which utilize the 3.5G data connectivity, it drains battery extremely fast. Less than a day the battery life would be low and requires charging.
Looks like this phone isn't giving good battery life if running heavy data connnectivities.

IPod hardware failed, new one under warantee has horrid battery life

I have an iPod 80GB purchased in 10/06. Last month, the drive failed and I was able to easily get it replaced at the Apple store where I bought it.
However, the replacement's battery life is not as good as my old one was. Since the replacements are (I assume) all refurbished models, this must be a used battery. There are only a couple months left on my warranty, do I need to prove that the battery life of the new model is less than 50% of the original life before Apple will do anything about it?
Will they do anything?

Check the warranty status on the WD web site. You may be able to exchange it.
Ciao.

Battery life- is such a short battery life normal??

I am looking for the views of other iPhone owners in relation to this question. I feel that the battery in my iPhone may not be working correctly, as it is turning off (ie completely flat) by about 1700hrs after being charged overnight, thus fully charged. I have 3g switched on all the time along with the location services but only ise the internet for 10-15mins max with a few phone calls during the day and by dinner time the phone is dead. Is this normal???
The phone is 6 months old and I feel that it is getting worse.
I know the battery life is not very good compared to "normal" phones but is this what everybody else is experiencing?? I have today switched off 3g and location seviecs to see if that makes a vast difference, and will update this thread.
Comments please.

See this article about batterie life: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iPhone.html to optimize your settings
3G ist using a lot energy, even when your phone is in standby.

The **** battery life ain't good, and I got so irritated earlier because dum iPod kept crashing !!!!!!! Now I'm frustrated again because I had to type a question 3-4 times already !!!!!! It's better now that I had restart it !! Battery life ain'tgood

OOmgg are you serious I have to write another paragraph..... Uh the iPod is just slow n keeps crashing... Also battery life isn't good ! I love iPhome thogh.... It can be addicting !

How long does a full charge lst and what is the iPod doing during that time? About 4-5 hours of video playback seems to be the norm
See:
http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain
Also for both crashing and battery life
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
