Battery only 2 hours max on FW 6.0.2

Guys here's my latest usage for the last four day I been getting from a full charge. 2 hours 10 minutes already down to 25% battery.
What seems to be the problem regarding my phone it's only two months old it was running fine with 6.0.1 upto the 1st January 2013 tried DFU restore even setting up new phone with no apps downloaded or running in the background still having battery draining.

I tested my battery in a laptop just like mine at my university library and the battery had 4+ hours of life. So my next question is can i fix the software myself or should I just take it to the genius bar. I have my computer backed up and have the Installation CD.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Battery only 6 hours

I tested yesterday and the battery lasted exactly 6 hours. I fully charged and again today exactly 6 hours. This is with backlight always on and coverflow and shuffle. I will test tomorrow with backlight at 10 seconds, and no cover flow. I will leave shuffle on.6 hours is not good. Perhaps the battery is not good.Any suggestions would be appreciated. the logitech speaker on battery power works 10 hours so I am hoping to get 10 hours of music from the ipod.

I'm getting about 8 hours or less than but sometimes I would
here's what I've already tried:
- enabled power saving mode
- set the brightness of the backlight to the very min
- backlight time: 2 secs (min without being off)
- EQ: off
- crossfade: off
- I don't use cover flow (disabled it)
It's a 16GB and I'm only listening to music (anywhere from 192kbps to 320kbps), unless the clickwheel is so sensitive in my pocket that the backlight keeps turning on, it only lasts for about 6-9 hours at a time.
Aside from sending it in to have it repaired, I don't know what to do because it was a gift from my ex and I don't have the receipt (although it is within the 1 year warranty.) I've recharged the battery for over 4 hours using my PC after letting it fully drain and I've just recently backed up my music then reset the whole thing to it's factory state, charged it again for 4 hours and it still isn't keeping the right charge as advertised. I'm using the newest version of iTunes possible (which doesn't even show where my recorded videos are saved anyway!)
I never took the thing outside in the winter when I received it and it hasn't even gotten hot enough yet to blame this thing on extreme temperatures. To be honest I didn't even want the thing (since it doesn't handle FLAC files, I'd have taken a 8GB iPod Touch over this thing) and since I'm stuck with it... I guess I have no other option but to get it repaired. while it's features are neat, I wish it would actually last as long as it's advertised to (even with the screen shut off and set on hold!)
so my advice to you is if you've tried all the troubleshooting steps and you're in warranty, take it in. I'll update you on the battery life after I send it in. but I think even Otterbox's decision not to make a case for this one sends a pretty clear message that not a lot of people like it enough.

Retina MBP 2.6 only 3 hours of battery life?

My 1 week old Retina MBP 2.6 is only getting 3 hours max on battery with light surfing. When watching videos i also only get 3 hours tops. Bluetooth is off, keyboard light off, screen backlighting 50%, gfxCardstatus set to integrated only (also confirmed in energy saving settings). I run 10.7.4, all updates installed.
Is this normal? Isn´t it supposed to get at least 5 hours when browsing the web (no youtube)? Should i return it and get the 2.3 instead for more battery life?
Thanks in advance.

There have been reports of problems with various models experiencing low battery life after installing Mountain Lion but as you're still using Lion, you should be getting at least 7 hours on battery for light web surfing (not a lot of YouTube videos, etc.).
My suggestion would be to take the machine into your local Apple Store and let them deal with the problem. Before that you can download the free "Battery Health" from the App Store which lets you see your battery health in real-time, as opposed to always having to go into your System Report. There's no reason that you should be getting less than 7+ hours of battery life.

Year-old nano's battery only lasts about 9 hours--normal?

The one-year warranty on my nano expires in about two weeks. The battery only lasts about 9 hours when playing AACs purchased from the iTunes Music Store continuously, with the EQ and backlight turned off.
Not too shabby, but also nowhere near the 14 hours it got when it was new.
My question for those of you who have had warranty repairs for battery problems--would Apple consider 9 hours of battery life "defective" and worthy of a warranty repair or replacement?
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Actually Apple says up to 14 hours. You're doing ok with this because you're getting about 65% or more battery life from the max of 14 hours.
Just to be clear, you can only buy the AppleCare plan during the first 12 months warranty period, so if your iPod is nearing a year old, better be quick.
Btw, have you seen these?

I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

That listed 7 hours is with very limited use. Low screen brightness, low keyboard backlight, No WiFi or bluetooth.
Most I have ever gotten from my 15" 2011 model is around 5-6 hours and that was with very light use. Just Web, Chrome, and email, thunderbird, and Wifi.

MBP 15'' 2011 battery lasts only 3 hours!

Hi
I bought MBP 2011 15 inch last week and received it on Monday.
My configs are
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.2 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          4 GB
and I also upgraded to high resolution.
So far, I'm pretty much enjoying my new MBP
But I have one main concern with my new laptop's battery time.
The battry time is really really short!
When I first turned it on, it took 3 hours to drain the battery. (starting from 98% or so)
And I did calibration thing so that the battery runs more "efficiently"
Of course, I didn't expect that calibration would make the battery last longer, but no matter what,
I only get 3 hours of battery life and I'm not even doing something that would drain my battery fast.
I just do simple web surfing and word documenting on about 30-40% brightness (or even lower sometimes)
And I get only 3 hours of bettery time.
So is this because my MBP has four i7 cores or or what?
Previous MBP 15'' models seem to last at least around 5 hrs doing exactly same thing.
And considering that I have been using my MBP only for 5 days or so, I'm worried that the battery life will become even less!
Maybe like 2 hrs?
Is this a particular issue with my laptop, that I can return and exchange to new model or get fixed without fees?
Or is it just built this way that all the MBP 2011 15'' models have this kind of short battery life?

OMG turning off the Bluetooth just gave me like extra 3 hours of battey time! (6 hrs total)
I didn't even know it was turned on in the first place because I never touched it.
I guess bluetooth is on as a default setting.
Thank you so much for advice.
I feel so stupid, but please be understanding since it's actually my first MacBook.
But I'm really glad to find out that I was wasting battery with bluetooth on, and now I can get better battery time.
Thanks once again!

After Bell Update - My battery lasts only 8 hours

Hello
I have a Nokia N8. As there was Symbian Anna on it, I have optimized my battery consumption. It was running at least 2-3 days.
Now after upgrading to Anna it lasts only 8 hours. This is really not much.
What can I do? I have no Apps like Skype or WhatsApp running. Also I disabled all autostart apps with SafeManager.
Thank you

Hello
I think I found the solution.
I am patricipant of Nokia Beta Labs. So I have a lot of Beta Apps installed.
The last update for Store QML client (http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/store-qml-client?req=true) helped a lot.
But the major Battery consumer was the new Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 (http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite?req=true).
If you have installed this, than you have to install Pulse as well!! (http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-pulse).
In Pulse, there are two options, wich you have to disable both.
Then Symbian Belle goes even longer than Anna! =)
Here is some ohter discussion about the same topic: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite/bugreport/43877/complete-battery-drain-overnight
This helped alot.
Thank you all.

Macbook pro mid 2011 battery lasting only 3 hours

How can I get my brand new Macbook pro mid 2011 battery to last longer, now it's lasting only 3 hours.

Do not believe the advertised specs from any manufacturer regarding battery life. In the real world expect about 60% to 70% of those figures. Battery life is influenced by many factors, Among these are display brightness, the number and type of applications you are running, if the optical drive is used, external devices that may be attached etc.
3 hours seems a bit low but not necessarily out of line. Go to SYSTEM PROFILER>POWER and see what it says by 'Condition'. If it is other than 'normal' you may have battery issues (Explanations then can be found in FINDER>HELP).
Ciao.

I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
I hope this helps.

Just bought a mid 2012 13 in macbook pro. Battery life is only 3 hours. Thoughts?

Just bought a mid 2012 13 in macbook pro. Battery life is only 3 hours. I was under the impression that it would last 7 hours. This is with normal internet browsing and text editing. my brightness is not all the up and bluetooth is off. Thoughts?

im having the same problems, bought my 13" MacBook Pro last week and the battery is terrible on it, but i googled it and a lot of other people are having the same issues

Since I have upgraded from 7.1 then the power consumption increased slightly unbelievable. I have new batteries in my iphone 5 and when I had at ios 7 so was consumption that allows the battery envelope in two days and with ios 7.1 so is it only 12 hours

On battery my Satellite A100-233 runs only 1 hour

Hi
I would like to know if it is normal that the battery lasts only 1 hour. All I do is either browse on internet or use word doc. or power point presentation. I can't watch a dvd without using power supply due to the battery. I would also like to know which battery normally comes with Satellite A100-233.

Hi
Thanks a lot for the information as I thought that there was something wrong with the battery as the sales-person had told me that it lasts 3h 30 to 4h!
My Satellite A100-233 belongs to the PSAA8E series. In fact the model number is PSAA8E-05J026G3. But I don't know what the battery part number is. What I found written on the battery were 2 numbers: 6027B0010101 and 64279026ASF. There was also: IEC S/N:6SA300J8T D48XW BATT 6 CELL with recycle Rev 3.00 SPS:V000061150 Date Code:J6054
Where can I search to find out whether the part number is PA3399U-2BRS or PA3399U-2BAS?
The batteries you suggested, if I go to the shop and tell him to give me one of them will be enough or it's better I take the laptop with me?
PA3400U-1BRS High Capacity Battery Pack (Li-Ion, 12 Cell, 8600mAh)
PA3478U-1BRS Extended Capacity Battery Pack (Li-Ion, 6000mAh, 9 Cell)
Thanks for you help

Why does my iPhone 5 battery runs dead after only 5 hours in standby?

My brand new iPhone 5 runds completely dead after only 5 hours standby.
I might have done 2 or 3 calls, I switched off all the apps that are running in the background.
Wifi and bluetooth are on, and should stay on.
My old iPhone4 could work almost 2 days without recharging....
I have looked at different blogs and websites and set most of those tips and tricks, but without success... my phone is 1 day old and already synced....
Is there something big that I'm overlooking?

http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
also recalibrate the battery, let if fully drain to where your phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.

My PB runbs always too hot: it burn my lap. & battery runs only 1 hour.

Hi.
As the subject, my PB runs too hot.
I found sombody asked the same question and downloaded software to measure temprature.
Battery: 35 C
Power Supply Bottomside: 55.8
Processor Bottomside: 62.5
Processor/Controller Bottomside: 64
SmartDisk Fujitsu .... 48
Trackpad: 40
I'm not running any games. don't know why so hot.
And my battery last shorter than before: I was surprised it lasted only 1 hour or so last time I used without AC.
Anybody any suggestion?

Hi Shiho,
It sounds like your Powerbook is stuck in turbo mode Have a look at the energy saver tab in System Preferences. Make sure that the performance settings are set to automatic. This will make sure that your processor scales to your performance needs and isn't at 100% the entire time. Doing so would cause it to heat up significantly and as a result drain the battery much faster.
Additionally, make sure that there is sufficient air flow at the bottom of the powerbook. If necessary, prop the back up by placing a book under it, or have a look at purchasing a Grffin iCurve or iLap to elevate the laptop. The other temperatures you posted are normal and within spec, and the processor temps look normal for one which is under a bit of a load.
Good luck!

Battery only 2 hours max on FW 6.0.2
