Battery life shows shorter time at 100% than before

I used to see over 2 days at full charge, but now I see 1 day 14 hours at most, any ideas of the issue? I have the latest possible update android 5. Maybe is the reason? Any calibration possible? Resetting some battery manager? Regards...

Hi edokkir,
Some things you can try to maximise the battery life:
Turn off GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Mobile data when not using them
Put the phone on Stamina mode and/or Low batttery mode - these functions are under Settings > Power management.
Check the battery usage menu also under Settings > Power management to see which applications are draining the battery the most.
Lower the display brightness
Lock the screen when not using the phone
Turn off phone or put into Airplane mode when there is no network coverage in the area as the phone repeatedly scans for available networks - which consumes power.
If you are using a Live wallpaper - change to a wallpaper that isn't live as this increases battery usage
Hope these steps help! Keep us updated.

Found the reason why my battery life was short

As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.

If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them.

Battery problem!!!!heating up while charging and battery loosing in short time

Hi swaraj.vidhate,
If you are experiencing what appears to be unusually short battery life, you may want to check out the "Power/Battery: Battery life seems short" section of the following article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
In particular, the Restore iPhone step will help isolate if any potential issue is software or hardware related.
With regard to the iPhone warming during charging:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
If you are still having issues with the battery life, or have any further concerns, there is a link to Apple iPhone Support at the bottom of the Hardware Troubleshooting document; I am sure they would be happy to be of assistance.
Cheers,

Why is my battery life so short on Iphone 4?

Why is my battery life so short on my new I phone 4 with Verizon?

if you have checked the specs and it all works out, you can do a number of things. first i would suggest that for a dat you turn off 3G and cellular data to see if your service is running it down. you can do thing by going to settings-general-network-then turning them off. if this still doesn't work then try running it all the way down to 0% then giving it a full charge. i noticed that if regularly if you run the app Battery Pro Boost Magic to see whats taking up so much of your battery. if all of this fails to work then your battery might be defective so contact apple and try to get it replaced.

Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?

Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?

I have the iPhone 5s and my wife has the iPhone 5. They both last a few days between charges.
I am not sure that I can tell a difference, as I use mine less than she uses hers, but they both seem to last.

Any way to remove the kitkat update? Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable.

Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable. took phone into the Version store, and they were not able to get it to work either..

I have 3 Motorola M on my account, one updated correctly, and one has not been updated to the new version. I have since taken the broken phone into the store, and they customer support people were not able to get it to load as well. Pretty much told me there is nothing they can do to make it work again, But I can buy a new phone at full price since I still have 6 months on my contract. Oh that's nice, I can see having to pay full price if the phone was broken by something I did, but not because of a software update. Its very frustrating and not right!

New battery, battery life really short

I've been looking into articles already on the community forum, but couldn't find a clear answer.
Since a couple of months I have a new battery, the old one broke down. But the new one already doesn't have long when it is off power.
When I charge it, it needs a few hours to charge, and when it's full and I disconnect the power adapter my battery lasts for just 3 hours.
I seriously don't think that is normal for a new battery, and deffinetely not in such a short time (a couple of months, I think 10 or 12).
Is there any way anyone knows how this is possible? I just checked my new battery and it said 10.8V -- 45Wh. My old one (I just checked) had the same info.
The power adapter I have is 60W: output + 16,5V -- 3.65A, input AC 1.5A 100-240V 50/60Hz.
Is the problem within the difference of Watt with the battery and adapter? Because when I got the new battery they didn't advice me (or tell) to check that
and maybe get a new adapter that fits the battery information.
My Macbook is old, a late 2008 version, so I can change the battery myself. And I would love to give it a few more years, but it just not that great when your
battery dies out so soon. It costs a lot of money to keep buying new ones.
It's a great computer, and someday I want to buy a brand new one, but for now this one is still working great.
So please tell me, is there anything I'm doing wrong? If I can get som info on how to change my battery life, that would be great.
I already know that it is better for the battery to keep it charged until it is full and dan disconnect the adapter and use the Macbook until tha battery is low,
and than connect it to the adapter again. That's what I know is best, but on the community forum I've read that for some batteries it is better to keep them
connected all the time. So what to do with my battery?
Thanks in advance!

The 3 hour time that I can use the battery fully charged, is only if I don't use my computer. If I use it, depends on which programs I use, the time gets shorter. This makes sense, but it is kind of frustrating that a battery dies out so soon even if you use your computer a lot. It would be easier if they were made to last longer in that kind of circumstance.
Yes I do use my computer a lot, listening music, watch a movie, and because for most of my work I need it and use programs like Photoshop, GoLive, Word, etc. Not all day of course, but these are things I think are normal to use. If you run these programs all day, of even use more programs at the same time, yes then I think your battery can die out sooner. But I use them at a regular basis, for my own private things.
Yes, sometimes I play a game, but nothing 'heavy' or that takes a lot of power.
Is it possible that because of the age of my Macbook it is beginning a little bit to much to handle for the Mac, and also the battery? Or doesn't that matter?
I'll calibrate the battery, and check if there is any difference.
Is there a way for my adapter to use it more efficiancy? Should I leave it connected while charged, or deconnect it and use my Mac until it needs to be charged again? What's better for the battery?

IPod touch 4G battery life is short

Hi, my iPod touch battery is really short. I've had the iPod touch for about 5 months now and the battery is already bad. To be more specific, it loses about 30 % of battery every 10-20 min when I am playing a 2d game(3d games take up more battery)With the wifi on and brightnes at 50 % and it should last way longer that that!!! Please help. Thanks
PS my friend has a jailbroken iPod touch 4g and he was wondering if having a jailbreak on will reduce his battery life.

after the ipod'sbattery is flat charge it for 4hours to 100% battery.
if the battery is still going flat after a short time the battery needs replaced

My Brand New Nano's Battery Life is Short

I just got my first Ipod nano last week so this may be my fault cause I'm still learning. The first time I charged my battery it lasted about 3 hours. I though it may have been because it was new that it was depleted so fast. I fully charged it last night & have used it for about 2 hours and the battery shows only about 25% life left. Nowhere near 14 hours. Is it my Ipod or am I doing something wrong? Should I return it to the store from which I purchased it (this would be the 2nd return. My first one I bought 3 days earlier would get really hot on the back & start sounding scratchy)?

First, know that the meter is inaccurate. Just because it says half-empty doesn't mean it is half-empty. Also, the battery may not last the full 14 hours until after a few charge cycles, where you charge the battery, then use it all up, then charge it again.

4S battery life astonishingly short

I am getting more and more frustrated by the incredibly short battery life of my new 4S. I have tried numerous changes to different settings to keep the drain on it as low as possible. I find I have to charge it several times a day which makes it useless when I am not in my car or near a plug. The only thing that might work is to turn if off or buy a new phone!I

This solved it for me:-
- Go to Settings -> Location services -> System services
- Set "setting time zone" to off
Reduced my idle power consumption from 10% per hour to 2-4% per hour. Massive improvement.

3G battery life-exceptionally short

hi.I bought my 3g 5 days ago.I was a 2g user and found the battery lasted well,normally a full day using everything.when firsy charging the 3g,I let the battery drain all the way down on the first time to calibrate.but the battery is lasting much shorter,even with 3g off.I tested by putting in airplane mode and playing music continuously....7.5 hours!
Has anyone had similar problems?could you fix it?would apple replace the unit if nothing fixes it?
Any info would be greatly appreciated,
Nick

One thing I would add is that my first week and a half with my new iPhone 3G the battery life was exceptionally short. Read some posts about the battery needing to sort of 'break in' a bit and that's exactly what happened.
A week or so after getting it, the battery life stabilized with a much longer lasting charge. So I'd give it a little bit before getting really concerned. If this persists after a couple of weeks, then I'd definitely try to talk to apple care.

My new ipad air crashes a lot and battery life is short, does anyone else have this problem?

My new ipad air crashes a lot and the battery life is a lot shorter than the ipad 1 and 2 i had. Anyone else have this problem?

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Battery life seems short or the battery does not hold a charge, seems to drain quickly or does not last as long as expected.

Solved!

IMPORTANT Notes while charging your Reader device:
It is recommended to charge the Reader using the supplied AC Adapter. When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, the lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] on the display of your Reader device is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the lightning bolt symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
On a full charge, the battery has the capability of up to 7,500 continuous page turns. Actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns, settings and battery conditions. When the Reader is turned on, off, or a page is marked, battery power is used, thus lowering the expected battery life.
NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.
Playing audio will reduce the battery life. If you did not start audio play back intentionally, confirm audio is not playing. You will not hear playback unless headphones are connected. Audio playback will continue until it is stopped by turning it off from the Now Playing menu. To see if audio is playing, press the HOME button and then press the OPTION button. If Now Playing is displayed in the dialogue box that appears, tap Now Playing and this will take you to the song that is playing. Press the Pause button to stop playback of that song and then press the HOME button.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the E Ink electronic display technology, the LCD can retain an image without having power. Turning the page is the only time power is consumed. If the Reader's power is drained, the LCD will retain the last image that was displayed, thus making it appear like the Reader is frozen and in some instances it will not have enough power to perform other operations such as turning on or off.
Battery life can be affected by operating temperatures below 41 degrees F, lack of use, or if the battery has not been given enough time to fully charge.
As with any battery, if the Reader is stored for an extended period of time, the battery will discharge on it's own. Therefore, it may be necessary to charge the battery prior to use.
If the Reader has not been used for an extended period of time, repeatedly charging and discharging will improve the efficiency of the battery.
If the battery life still seems short, the battery may need to be replaced.

Why is my battery life so short? Like one day, even when I'm not using it.

I've had this I phone only a little over a month and hardly used it at all. The battery is lasting a shorter and shorter time. Now it's down to about a day and a half, even when only on standby.

You say you've had the phone a little over a month, but your profile says it's an iPhone 3G. Did you mean 3Gs? The iPhone 3G came out in 2008 and hasn't been sold in over a year. If you got it used, it's entirely possible the battery is losing its ability to hold a charge. They can only take so many charge cycles.
