Battery problem on iphone 4

The problem with my iPhone 4 happened some weeks ago, I think after I upgrated to 4.3.5
The phone automatically turns off when the battery states 20% remaining, and requires me to plug the charger on. When I plug the charger on, it turn on again and the battery still states 20%. Sometimes it automatically turns off at 40% of battery...
I restored 2 times but the problem havent been solved. I just hope this is not a hardware problem... Just bought the phone in April in Singaprore but I dont stay there anymore.
If you have the same problem and solved it well, please let me know how can I do to save my phone.
Thank you!

I get great life on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 update, subject to the following steps:-
turn off all mail push notifications, restrict to manual
turn off all notifications except messages, missed calls and mail
turn off all "other" app (FB, Twitter, etc) notifications (banner, badge, alerts)
turn off location settings except what is reqd for Find my iPhone
turn off iCloud
Also ...
if within wifi environment
          turn on wifi
          turn off cellular data (3G)
else if not within wifi environment
          turn off wifi
          turn on cellular data (3G)
else if not within wifi environment and data not required
          turn off wifi
          turn off cellular data (3G)
The above was at 7.53 this morning. As of now, I have a Usage time of 5 hours and odd and Standby of 3 days and odd and my battery percentage is down to just 37%. This is including usage of Twitter, Facebook, Linked in, Mail and iCal two or three times since 7.53 ( 4 hours approx.)
I realize that one shouldn't have to manually do all the things outlined above and I _have_ submitted a feedback form to Apple to try and program the iPhone so that it automatically does the above switches. I don't know if this is an idiotic suggestion but, until something happens, all the above works for me.

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

What is this noise, and battery problem on Iphone 4S

There was a battery problem on Iphone 4s so i was worried to buy it, but once I heard that Apple published new ios 5.0.1, I went down to the Apple store near to my house, and I bought Iphone 4S. First time meet with Iphone 4S great Siri, and more faster processer, I liked it, but after I used for 1 week I found many problems, there was battery problem still, and even there was noise problem, expeciallly the noise problem is annoying because when I phone call to my friend or home I can hear it very clealy...
please fix it apple

Reset, will reset the battery meter is this is the problem. To Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If not better, try tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. The set up your iPhone again. If not better, you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware, I would perform this with iTunes on your computer.

Actually, battery size has a definite impact on battery life, and larger batteries tend to weigh more.
I had made the point that the Handset size (not the "battery size") does not affect battery life.
Furthermore, I wen't on to explain that the batteries are comparable in size regardless.
On this point Sholton, if you want a physically larger battery (which yes, I agree, naturally will yield better battery life) then perhaps the Samsung Galaxy SIII or Galaxy Note would be a better solution for you.
But then, because of a poorly optimised operating system on those systems, your battery will be working inefficiently anyway.

can't replace the battery once that limit has been reached - at that point you either buy a new phone and discard the "old" (not very green of you...), or ship the old one off to the factory for an expensive replacement, and no phone for the duration of the shipping and replacement).
Apple offers a battery replacement program where they will either replace a consumed battery or replace the handset if need be for a reasonable price of around $89.
The aforementioned service can be carried out at your nearest Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider in a matter of 10 minutes - rendering your point about being without a phone moot.
Once again, I appreciate your frustration, but perhaps the iPhone just isnt for you.

Battery problems with iPhone 4 after iOS 6.1

I've updated to iOS 6.1, and I've been experiencing some really annoying battery problems since I updated. I tried doing the good old iPhone reset, but it still wont charge up to 100%. It stops charging when it reaches 52-56 % battery.
Is there any way of fixing this???

same here..it doesnt work for me too!!
exactly same issue. Apple got something wrong with iOS 6

OS 5 is the origin of battery problem not iPhone 4S

The new version of OS 5.0.1 decrease in a very important way the duration of my battery of my iPhone 4. The problem comes from the OS 5 not iPhone 4S. Are you all right?

The vast majority of apps cannot and do not run in the background. For more info on Multitasking...

IOS 8 battery problem with iphone 4s

I installed IOS 8 over the weekend on my iphone 4S. My phone is completely dead because of the battery drain to fast. for example it was 100% fully charged, left alone for 20 min later (without using it), the power went down to 72% . or went to bed power at 85%, the phone went dead next morning. another occasion: left the house at 65% power, it went dead after 2 hrs WITHOUT A SINGLE USE. I went to the Setting so many times to see anything that unusual, I turned of: Background App Refresh, Turned off Location Services (each App too), etc.. I done everything I can, still the battery draining too fast. Apple what have you done, this is causing so much grief !!!! I need help !!!! another problem, when I am in an App ( i.e. CNN) to see the news with video. I see the video, but no VOLUME. looks like the volume button is disabled nothing there.

This sounds as if an app keeps running in the background although you don't use it or allowed it to use it in the background.
Did you already check Battery usage to see which app you didn't use much (or not at all) causes a major use in battery. See also this article and this one on iMore.
I've seen others who had background process off for e.g. Google Hangout and Skype but still had major battery usage since iOS8.
Please look also into the apps who are allowed to use 'Background refresh' and 'Push Notifications'.
I've had similar issues with another Dutch app called Scoupy after 6>iOS7 upgrade. I deleted the app and it resolved the battery drain. The app released an update (months later) which resolved the drain finally. It was however very hard in the previous versions to find out the app which caused the drain. In iOS8 that is much easier now.

Battery problem on Iphone 4S

My iphone 4S has just one year.
I had a problem these last months :
No particular problems with my battery, but when I take more than 20 pictures, or when I take more than 7 pictures with the flash, my Iphone stops working with a screen "dead battery". I have to wait a few minits, and I have to restart my Iphone and the battery level is more than 50%...It works like before...
Do anyone knows something about this problem ?

Ios6 battery problem on iPhone 4

Hi
I installed the iOS6 yesterday and now my batterylife is very poor! I'am using an iPhone 4.
Normaly it last for 12h but now with the new iOS it last for 5h!!
And the phone gets very hot even if it's in "sleep" mode (black screen).
Can I do anything to fix this or do I have do wait for an new upgrade?
// Patrik

I had the same issue as the original poster. Went to bed with 65% and woke up with 14%. Never ever happened before IOS 6. And I did a shut down and reboot after installing IOS 6.
To make things more odd, I recharged this morning and now have used 2% in an hour and 45 minutes, which is what I would expect. Thisis on an iPhone 4, btw.
So I have no explanation why yesterday was so poor and today back to normal unless Apple pushed something to my device yesterday I was unaware of.

Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
Hope this helps!
Dylan

I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

IPhone 6 Wi-Fi and Battery Problems

Background info:
-- My first iPhone 6 kept randomly shutting down and turning itself back on while I was in various apps and on the home screen and also while the phone was on stand-by. I called Apple Support and they sent me a replacement without asking too many questions.
-- I don't know if my replacement is new or refurbished, although I'm assuming it's new since I received the replacement about 2.5 weeks after the release date of the iPhone 6, but who knows.
Problem:
The replacement iPhone's wifi and battery.
Wi-Fi:
-- My replacement/current iPhone 6 is running iOS 8.0.2.
-- Trying to load anything while on wifi is so, so, so SLOW. I don't even use it on my phone anymore and I stick to cellular data because that is how bad it is.
-- I did NOT have this issue with my original iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2).
-- My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) has absolutely no problems with the wifi.
-- Resetting my network settings fixed the issue for literally 15 minutes before the problem started again.
-- Restoring the phone from backup does not work. Setting up the phone as new does not work.
Battery:
-- My original iPhone 6's battery life was amazing. I could go through the whole day with heavy use with my cellular data and location on and still have a good 40% left on it. It took A LOT to kill even 10% of it.
-- My replacement iPhone's battery is absolutely pathetic. Light use (texting, browsing) with cellular data on and location off for an hour kills 20% of it.
-- Pretty much any "battery-saving" thing I can do is done (like turning off wifi, cellular data, and location unless it's absolutely needed).
I don't want to contact Apple for another possible replacement because I just feel weird about it. Obviously I will if I have to.
Do you guys have any suggestions or fixes? Please help!

I downloaded the Speedtest app on my iPhone and iPad and would randomly test one right after the other. I accumulated about 5 tests a day on each device over the course of 3 days. I set up an appointment at the Genius bar. I told the Genius that I set up my phone as new and then showed him my comparisons of the Speedtest on both devices. He handed me a new (non-refurbished because it hasn't been out for long) phone, no questions. Apparently it was a hardware issue and not an iOS 8 bug.

The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even if not in use. This started 11 months after purchase. The unit passed the Apple Battery Health Test Protocol but the performance showed otherwise. What is the problem and how do I solve it?

The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even when not in use. The unit was tested by Apple and passed the Battery Health Test although the performance showed otherwise. The battery deterioration started 11 months after purchase and is not covered by Apple warranty. What is the problem of the iPhone5 and would appreciate suggestions on how to address this problem. By the way, I have a 2 year old iphone 4S with a battery performance as good as when it was bought two years ago.
