Battery life of iPod touch 4g whilst playing 3d games

I recently bought an iPod touch 4th gen and one of the first apps i downloaded was Modern Combat 2. I noticed that after only playing for a few minutes, my battery had begun to be used up pretty fast. I downloaded Magic Battery and it says my device is only good for around 2 hours of 3d gameplay. And whilst playing MC2 i found out that 7 minutes of it would drain 20 % of my battery.
Before i download other games such as NOVA 2 or Dungeon Hunter 2 which are both 3d, i'm asking: is this normal? Is power usage on these games THAT dear or is my purchase faulty and should i return it?
Note: when i played MC2, i was not multitasking, brightness =0%, and all measures to prolong battery life were in place.

5 hours is definitely too quick for a battery discharge. Try a few of the solutions here http:

but if it does not hold a charge longer then take it back to the Apple store and ask for an exchange or a refund.

  • How to save battery life on iPod touch 5g?

    Give me tips on how to save battery life on iPod touch 5g.It dies out very quickly.   

    Turn down the screen brightness
    Look into notifications. it defaults to everything being on and you can turn off most if not all of them.
    Check your e-mail. If it's on push that means it's reaching out for new mails every so often, turning it to fetch means that it only goes to get mail when you tell it to.
    Look at some of your apps. Some of them may be doing things in the background that you don't realize and you can tweak those to not run when you don't need them to run.

  • Battery life on iPod touch 4G with Airplay streaming to Airport Express?

    Any word on the battery life of the newest iPod touch 4G when using Airplay to stream music to an Airport express/ hi-fi speaker set up?
    I think i have the above configuration correct? I already have an Airport express linked to a MBP/ iTunes, but it'd be easier to use an iPod Touch/Airplay to stream my iTunes lib in the same way.
    But maybe not such a good idea if battery life on the touch will be zapped!!!

    I haven't done exhaustive tests, but I've been streaming to an Airport Express and it seems like I ought to get 10 hours or so. I think the most I've done at once is 3 or 4 hours and the battery doesn't seem to drain more than a third to a half. For what it's worth, I've been streaming for an hour so far tonight and the battery icon hasn't moved off full.
    Far more important I've found is to make sure the screen is locked. Tha backlight on the screen really chews thru the battery.

  • My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!

    My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
    I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Am I able to reset the battery of an iPod Touch 5G myself?

    Am I able to reset the battery of an iPod Touch 5G myself? Because my battery is doing strange. When I put it in a computer it says 'charging off'. When I put it in a charger it is normally charging but when I take it out, it says 20% battery life remaining. I put it in the charger the whole night but I don't know what's wrong. But after it says 20% it turns off (of course) but when I turn it on, the battery is 100%! I didn't even put it in a charger! And then the same story begins. over and over.

    Hey Ron61, Don't know about resetting the battery, but you can do a reset of the iPod. Start with a soft reset. Press and hold the power and home buttons together, until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds+/-) then release both buttons. If no joy, then go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If that does my work try allowing your iPod to drain down until it turns off, then charge at least 4 hours. Also try a different cable, the lighting cables have a history of failing / shorting out. And inspect your charging port on the iPod for foreign debris or damage. If still not joy, make a full set of backups of everything on this iPod to your computer then try to Restore for Backup or last resort Restore to New. If none of the above work, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issue. Bring you cable alone also. Good luck. Cheers.

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

  • HT201412 my ipod touch is randomly playing songs on its own. i cannot choose the song I want to hear it continuosly skips several songs and then suddenly plays it. also the album cover does not match the song playing

    My ipod touch is randomly playing songs on its own. It skips several songs then suddenly stops and plays that song. If i try to select a song it will not play that song it keeps skipping over severla songs at a time then plays again. The album covers do not match that song that is playing and now its not connected to wifi. I need help

    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 all music and resync
    - 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: How to back up                                                                
    - 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.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My iPod touch will not play or charge on my non apple dock since the software was updated,why is this?

    My iPod touch used to play and charge in my non apple dock but now will do neither. Looking back it appears to have stopped working when the software was updated to 5.1. Why is this?

    There are two sides to this.  On the one hand, an Apple upgrade bricked your dock and that bites. On the other hand, Apple can't be expected to design around 3rd party devices that don't follow the specifications. We don't know why Apple made this particular change that bricked your dock so it is difficult to judge whether or not there was a good reason behind it.  We also do not know why AIVN didn't follow the specification but it was probably cost related.
    Note: If you sell the iPod, you'll still have a non-functioning dock.  You can sell it to someone with an older iPhone or iPod that can't be updated to iOS 5.1.

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!
