Battery Problems - BIG Battery Problems

Since upgrading to 2.0, WiFi is KILLING my battery. I am not even getting 8 hours of standby. I have shut off all PUSH and FETCH settings and my battery is still draining like a Hummer. I didn't have this problem with 1.1.4. The only way to slow down the battery drain is to kill the WiFi. I am checking further to see if there is any app that is contributing, but I believe it's down to whether WiFi is on or off. As I said in another post, since this is happening with my iPod Touch, I now believe that the battery issues in the headlines about the iPhone and 3G have more to do with the software than the hardware. We really need a fix on this quickly.

I posed the same question in the post called Very Quick Battery Drain if you are interested in reading other ideas as well.
I don't know how you are charging your Touch - but after downloading 2.0, I charged through USB on my Macbook because it was already plugged in. Normally I charge through the wall adapter. Long story short, the first day after 2.0...rapid drain, 10% in a day...I freaked out, plugged the Touch into the wall adapter and charged. I also turned off the services like wifi, push, etc. The battery has been much better since charging from the wall adapter. Now I haven't left my Touch in Standby like I used to (that's my next test) but at least my battery is lasting longer than a day and a half. Right now it's on day four I believe and that is with moderate music playing and some You Tube.
If you recharge through usb, try through a wall adapter to see if there's a difference. I know it may sound bizarre, but it might be worth a try.

Big battery problem: iPhone 4S

I have a big problem. The battery of my iPhone 4S is empty after a short time of usage. Within 2 minutes 5% goes away. And sometimes it shuts down if there is still 10% of battery. Is this a problem of iOS 6.0.1 or is this a hardware problem?
Thank you.

Very big battery problem with OS 3.0!

With 100% full charged battery I lost 10% of power every hour!
If I go to sleep with 50% of battery... i found iPhone DEAD in the morning!
I can't use the alarm clock anymore without plug to the AC adapter!
Someone got the same big problem? With the 2.1 my battery works well. Ther's a way to fix this?

Back when I was using a Palm Treo I had a program that let me make multiple configuration changes with one keypress. (Can't think of the name of it right now.) The iPhone really needs such a program and I'm guessing that for that to happen Apple needs to provide APIs to allow it. Anyway...
I've found that it is a good idea to turn 3G network off except when I want to surf the Internet (and I'm in an area that has 3G) and to turn off WiFi when I'm not around WiFi access points. And what's really frustrating is that where I am working at the moment I can get 3G access but apparently I'm barely at the edge of reception which means the battery drains faster than if I were nearer the tower. So right now I'm basically paying for 3G and can't use it more than 1/2 my day. (The day AT&T doesn't have the iPhone monopoly I fire the craptacular company no matter what it costs me.)

Need help.Big problem with battery

Hello all! I have HP Mini 110-3864sr for 3 years. I rarely used the battery but if I do it , my notebook was working for 3-6 hours. 15 of August I left for business trip and my HP stayed at home. When I came back on 22 of August, I switched it on, but I found that the battery doesn`t work at all. I have Windows 7 and I see that the battery status is 0% and no charging. I have done everything that I have found in the internet. I installed HP support assistant and did diagnostic from BIOS etc. Nothing helped, but HP support assistant says that the battery is OK. During the test it starts charging for 15 sec and that is all. I suspect that when I left the battery was about 10% and during the week It lost the power.
I know that it must work because as I have said before it cat run notebook for 3 hours +++. Please help what I have to do???

"I know that it must work because as I have said before it cat run notebook for 3 hours +++. Please help what I have to do???"
If you remove the battery and plug in the power adapter are you able to boot into Windows?
If that is posssible, then your battery has most likely failed and requires replacement regardless of what the diagnostic test has told you.
Notebook or netbook batteries are only guaranteed from new for one year. If you get three+ years of service life out of a notebook's battery, you can consider yourself quite fortunate.

what can I do with that??
Also, I live in Cairo,Egypt
waiting your recommendations

Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

Big problem with macbook battery: keeps disconnecting

Here's what i posted on another mac forum i go on. i noticed some people with the same problem on here but thought i'd post as they aren't all exactly the same:
just to fill you in first, i have a dec 07 2.2Ghz macbook which is totally stock and i have applecare
i noticed this last nite, suddenly my screen went off. i was confused and pressed a key on the keyboard and it came back up, thn went back off again. it did this a few times, until i noticed the battery icon had a little 'x' in it. when i plugged in the power supply it stopped doing it, but when i disconnected the power it did it again. i turned it off, removed the battery, put it back in and carried on as normal for a few hours, then went to bed.
i get up this mornin and start surfing the net and 10 minutes in it disconnects again :s i scrolled over the battery with the 'x' in it this time and it says something like 'no battery available'. now the strange this is i've been writing this for about 5 mins and it keeps coming up with the battery not available, but seems to stay on :s
anyone know what this could be? warped battery or something?
i was planning on ringing apple up sometime anyway, as i discovered a massive heat crack the other day so will probably give them a ring in the next couple of days when i get the chance.
thanks for any help

I have just joined this forum to research this very issue. In the past 2-3 days I have encountered the same problem with my 2 gig macbook (purchased feb. 2007. It will not function with battery only, even though all 4 test LED's are green. Just before it stopped functioning on battery I noticed an 87% charge indication.
In the previous 2 weeks I have also encountered an intermittent wireless internet connectivity, which is now to the point that it is just easier to plug in to the net to get reliable coverage, and even that can be slow.
First things first, is there any easy solution to the power issue?

Battery - the big problem of apple!

One morning I found my MacPro surrounded in a liquid (battery* water). I brought it to a Mac service station and over three weeks after got the information: irreparable and no guarantee! and this after only 18 months!!! do i have to accept this verdict??!!

In the US, and in many other countries, Apple only warranties their computers for 12 months, unless you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan. If you're not in the US, you should check the consumer laws of your country to find if you have further recourse.
I've never heard of any liquid inside of a MacBook Pro battery. The machine could probably be repaired but the cost would likely be quite expensive - better off just buying a new machine.
Just curious - did the Apple techs acknowledge that the liquid came from the battery?

HT1490 Is a slightly swollen mac book pro battery that seemingly works OK a big problem

Remove it from the MBP, get a replacement. Now.
Batteries have corrosive chemicals that destroy logic bards and hard drives.o

Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
Thanks.

I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install
                 Article HT3910
                 located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910
Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

No Battery Charge and Other Problems After OS3 Install - Solution?

This relates ONLY to iPhone Users using the "PUSH" Function for Email or Other Apps!
PROBLEM: It seems as though Apple is at least aware of the problem(s), i.e. once Exchange Email or another App using PUSH is configured, there is an OS3 bug that seems to be hardware independent (impacting ALL 1G, 2G and GS iPhones, but not consistently).
SYMPTOMS: Include some or all of the following . . . rapid discharge (less than two hours from a fully charged phone, failure to charge (by AC adapter or USB to computer), failure to charge completely, perpetual dead battery icon, inability to boot, inability to automatically sleep, quite warm on upper back side, slow email, indication of a full or partially full charge dropping to no charge or dead when removed from charging source.
CAUSE: OS3 Bug prevents consistent charging, draining the battery even when plugged in to a computer via the USB or into an A/C adapter (although I've been able to intermittently charge on an A/C adapter). In push mode, the Exchange email client on the iPhone continually queries the Exchange Server, cycling the iPhone CPU and continually draining the battery at a high rate (can
WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY APPLE:
1) Defective Hardware (though I'm on my third 3G in a week, so I don't think hardware is the problem . . . Apple will consider replacement with a new 3G if my third 3G has the same problem)
2) Corrupted App in iTunes - so I manually reloaded each app directly over wi-fi, one app at a time, this worked until I configured Exchange Email, at which time symptoms immediately appeared . . . so corrupted app unlikely.
3) Initial data transfer after email configuration . . . but symptoms continued long after this.
4) Wi-Fi - but turning wi-fi on or off had little effect, beyond normal.
5) Restore to New Phone - this works fine UNTIL Exchange Email is configured and activated. Thus, the time consuming practice of reload all apps, photos, music, etc. will be for naught, once exchange email is turned on with "push"
SOLUTION: Turning off "push" on your exchange email account
1) Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Fetch New Data
2) Set Fetch Setting to 15 minutes to approximate the much more frequent "push" uploads and downloads. NOTE: Turning off \"push\" at this level will NOT turn off push on your exchange email account and the problem will not be resolved
3) Scroll down and select - Advanced -
4) Identify and select your Exchange Server account
5) Select - Fetch -
6) Leave settings
Phone should cool down in a few minutes and work normally. The problem can be replicated and resolved repeatedly merely by toggling "push" on and off in your exchange email configuration.
I was told that this is likely to be the "fix" until a patch is issued. No time frame was given for an actual fix that allows Exchange users to use push technology. Disappointing, since broader use of "push" technology beyond exchange was one of the big benefits of OS 3.0.
NOTE: THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ON ALL iPHONES WITH OS3 USING THE EXCHANGE CLIENT. I have second 3G phone, identically configured (including push to exchange email) that has no symptoms at all. Go figure.

Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

Battery problems. Plugged in, says charging, but is not actually charging

I have an HP TouchSmart tm2 (have had it for a few years now). Everything works fine (for the most part) except the battery. I have it plugged in but it says "0% available (plugged in, charging)" but it's not actually charging. It's been this way for a few days. I have taken out the battery and then put it back in, but nothing changes.
I know I am no longer under warranty, and since it works fine while it is plugged in, I am not about to spend a ton of money to have this problem fixed. It started (minorly) when I got the laptop back from HP (completely unrelated issue, while still under warranty) a little over a year ago. It wasn't big issue so I didn't worry about. It's just annoying now. I am just wondering if the battery needs replaced (and if so, how much is that going to run) or if it is a bigger issue that I will just have to live with because I'm not going to put a lot of money into this computer. I was hoping to be able to use this one at work and my old Dell at home (the Dell doesn't hold charge anymore and the battery costs more than the laptop is worth), since this one was still holding charge at the beginning of the week. Now it won't even charge. I have left it plugged in and off over night and there was no change in the battery percentage... frustrating, kind of makes me want to avoid HP from now on...

Weird problems with battery

Hi guys,
I having some weird problems with my new battery. I changed the old battery (that died) for a brand new one. The first problem was: the mac didn't recognized the new battery in a macbook pro 13 early 2011. So, I putted the battery in a another macbook pro 13 mid 2010 and worked. So, I passed the battery again to macbook early 2011 and worked fine. I thought this very weird, but it is ok. The big problem came after: about two or three days of regular use, the mac just didn't turn on (I'm sure the battery charge was full). Even the battery charge button didn't work, like as the battery didn't stay there. However, if I shake the mac, something happen and the battery start to work normally. few minutes after (around 15 minutes), the mac shut down immediately, like as someone disconnect the battery from MB. If I shake the mac, the same thing happen again, few minutes after the mac turn off. The other strange fact is: if I open the mac, disconnect and reconnect the cable of battery (that connect with MB), the mac start work properly and 2 or 3 days after the problem go back.
Anyone has a clue?
I'm not confident about a bad contact problem of the cable with the MB, because the problem is repeated with some regularity of days (ever 2 or 3 days after connect the cable to MB).
I guess could be a problem in the logic board of the battery... What do you think could be? If the problem is because the logic board, is there a solution?
Thanks

Call Apple and get them to take a look at it, you've done all the 'customer troubleshooting' you can ...

HI Vikas,
Is your problem resolved? I bought new Nokia lumia 720 red few days back, I am seeing the same issues. Last night my battery was around 35% and data connection was off, still It was totally drained out by morning.
battery drains much faster in the first few days, you need to charge the battery a few times to get maximum battery performance
