Brand new battery replaced in Genius Bar much worst than old one ?

Hi. Few days ago my iphone 5 turned off and I was not able to turn it on. So yesterday I went to Genius Bar and they said it was battery and change my battery for new one. As my iphone was 2 months out of warranty I paid 79$ + tax. And it looks for me new battery is much worse.. It takes so long to charge it and it drains so fast.. I charged it to 100 % at 10 pm last night, used it maybe for 5 mins just to check email  and that type of things. I Turned off all the apps. And I had it on wifi. By 3 am it was on 18 %.. I wonder did they give me worse battery ? Im so annoyed..

Not much we can do here. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • New filters of Nokia Creative Studio much worse than old ones

    Hi,
    I am very dissatisfied with the new filters of the Nokia Creative Studio of my Nokia Lumia 1020.
    The old filters where just great and I did not use my professional camera anymore.
    The new filters do not improve the quality and look of the pics, the pics look unnatural and cheesy.
    How can I get this feedback to the Nokia developers?
    Kind Regards Nicola

  • I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

    I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?  Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

    How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
    Check your power status
    From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
    Copy and Paste in your reply.
    The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
    Long term storage (6 months):
    Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

  • Please can anyone tell me how to stop my 4s iPhone running down on the battery (despite fitting a brand new battery) and not holding charge for more than half a day - will the new update cure this problem?

    My iPhone 4s will not hold a battery charge longer than half a day even if charged all night. I am now updating to 8.1.3 - does anyone know if this will make any difference?

    Thank you for your help - I had the battery replaced in a phone shop in Bournemouth and think I need to take my phone in and ask them to check the battery but I have to have an operation on Thursday this week and may be a couple of weeks before I get chance to take the phone in - thank you for your helpful advice which I very much appreciate.

  • Will they replace my iphone 5s battery at the genius bar and if so, for what cost?

    will they replace my iphone 5s battery at the genius bar at my appointment, and if so for what cost?

    You will have to ask if they are equipped for that.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

  • Strange battery symptoms and genius bar questions

    Hi,
    I have a white macbook that I bought used with a used battery. When the battery started showing strange symptoms I replaced it with a new one. The new battery functioned perfectly for one cycle, then the same symptoms started again. Basically the computer isn't always recognizing the battery, with an X showing in the icon. Also with the charger connected the battery will sometimes charge, sometimes not. The activity shown in the icon doesn't always match what the stats listed in "about this mac".
    So my questions: Is it likely that the brand new battery could be flawed and producing the same symptoms the old one did? I bought the computer reconditioned through a third party with an extended warrantee that won't cover the battery. How do I determine if the battery is the problem, or if it's the computer itself and I should send it back to the seller?
    I've read some about the "genius bar" and I'm hoping for some info on that also. Is it necessary to make a reservation, or will they take walk ins? Will they give me any grief because it's a used computer not bought from them? What do they charge? Can I expect a complete diagnosis from them?
    thank-you for any info anyone can offer!
    I should add that I've reset the PRAM and NVRAm with no results. resetting the SMC (did I get that right?) worked only until the next time I started the computer. The Battery updater seems to be updated.
    Thanks

    Yes, it's possible to get a defective new battery. It's also possible the AC adaptor is defective, and it's possible there's a problem with the motherboard.
    I would look at the following articles for possible help:
    Apple Portables- Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
    Troubleshooting Magsafe power adapters with stuck pins
    Use and cleaning of power adapter with MagSafe connector
    You can also run hardware diagnostics:
    How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
    Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
    Some "common" error indicators:
    SNS - sensor error
    MEM - memory error
    HDD - hard disk drive error
    MOT - fan error

  • Brand new Battery

    Hey Guys,
    My iBook(1.42Ghz) has now 2 batteries. My first battery that came with my computer used to hold a 5-6 hour charge, now its at 190 cycles and holds about 1:30. So, I decided to purchase a new battery. I charged my new battery and unplugged my charger to see how much it will hold. I changed my settings for Better Battery Life and I get about 4 hours out of a brand new battery. Now according to the Apple Store Website, it should be holding 6 hours. What should I be doing about this?
    *Note by computer is under AppleCare, are my batteries covered by this?
    Matt

    If you bought the battery from Apple, it should have its own Applecare warranty. Best check with Apple as long as you are still under warranty. If you can get to an Apple store, they can probably check everything out for you and it won't cost you anything. There is always the possibility that your computer might have a problem that is causing the shorter battery function, and if so, you definitely want to have this documented while you have Applecare. And if the battery itself is faulty, they certainly should be willing to replace it.
    Good luck!

  • I just got a brand new battery god my iPhone 4S at the apple support and it's still draining super fast

    I just got my battery on my iPhone 4S replaced at the apple store and it's a brand new battery and I've had the battery for less than a week and it's already starting to drain fast just like my old one. I've been out of state for a few days. I don't know if that's part of the issue or not. Please help!!

    In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
    In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
    Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

  • HT1119 I recently purchased a brand new battery for my mac book pro and if I allow my computer to run out of charge and plug it in just moments later it can take up to 40 minutes to turn back on again!

    Is anyone else having this problem? I rely on my computer heavily for work and school and this is just not acceptable! After paying $125 for a brand new battery I would have never expected these problems.

    I'm sure that if you search hard enough, you'll find someone else who has had a similar problem, but that does not mean that it is remotely normal or common.  Apple definitely needs to replace the machine, but don't be afraid that the same thing will happen with the new one.
    Of course, that's assuming that this wasn't a case of user error.  It's hard to understand how it could be, but in my years of tech support, I've learned to never discount such possibilities.  I've seen people do things like forceably shove plugs into the wrong ports, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it doesn't fit and insistent that it should.

  • Having problems with brand new battery installed...Help please!

    Here's my problem. I just recently replaced the battery on my 13" Macbook. The brand new battery ordered from Apple arrived on Saturday and up until last night everything was great. Now all of a sudden the computer is doing the same things it did with the old battery. I am getting the green light on the MagSafe Adapter even though the battery is not fully charged. I am also alternating between "Not Charging" on the battery icon and a "X" on the icon.
    I did some reading and tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. I even uninstalled Leopard and reinstalled Tiger (updating everything afterwards), thinking maybe it was a software issue. (I just recently installed Leopard and hoped it was just a bad install.) None of that really seems to work.
    There is one slight exception- the SMC reset. After I do the SMC reset I get the amber light from the adapter, the icon shows charging and all is well for about 15 to 30 minutes. Then I am back at square one.
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas on what could be going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    It seems like you have eliminated all the easy fixes for your problem - what is left is the computer itself. Call Apple (800-275-2273) and explain the troubleshooting you have already done. They should set up a repair for your computer. If it is out of warranty you may have to pay for the repair.
    Best of luck.

  • How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

  • Brand new Battery charging 10% at a time...

    Hi I have a 1.3ghz with a brand new battery (not apple some chinese ebay...) and everything works fine except the battery wont charge more than 10% at a time.
    After every 10% I get the not charging message, I remove then put back the battery and it starts for another 10%. It's charging all the way to 99%. And will offer reasonable time and power when I use it.
    I tried reseting PMU and Nvram.... nothing.
    I not sure it's a battery problem because once charged it offers great and stable power for near 5h30.
    Any ideas, help, or similar seen things.
    Could it be the power supply, logic board......?????
    Thanks for the help!

    jfmebo:
    I recently purchased an eBay battery for my daughter's iBook G4 and it seems to work fine. The issue may be with this particular battery that you got. I would see if you can get it exchanged.
    The other possibility is that your DC in board may be failing and not supplying continuous power the battery.
    I would first get the battery exchanged. If the same behavior persists, I would look at the DC-in board.
