Camera Massive Battery Drain

I don't know *** is going on, but ever since I've had iOS7.. if I take more than 5-6 pictures w/ flash, my battery drops to 0% and the phone dies. As soon as I plug it in, the percentage jumps to 48-55% and says I still have lots of juice left.. anyone else having this issue?

Massive battery drain issues after the latest software update - phone hot

After the latest software update (to the NI2 version) I have massive battery drain issues. The phone also stays hot. Even when I don't actively use the phone it seems to stay "awake" according to the stats. When I disable all data (Wifi and/or 3G/4G) it's perfectly fine. Does anyone else experience the same issues or has recommendations?

Is the device trying to sync all your photos with the cloud?
This is what I would do.
Back up your photos and music onto a personal computer. Copy down important settings like for your email, and contacts you can't risk losing.. even icon placement of important apps. Diagram it out.
Then perform a Factory reset on the device. Alternatively you might find the procedure for wiping the low level cache of the device posted in other posts on the site. That might fix the problem and avoid you losing settings and content on your device.
Extremely bizarre behavior post updates are usually associated with low level cache issues that cause the OS to behave poorly. Some people have reported their phones running hot and that could mean the radio is on constantly attempting to back stuff up to the cloud our restore stuff.
Good luck.

Sudden MASSIVE battery drain on 3GS 4.0.1

Never had any issues with battery on 4.0.1 until today. I took the phone off the charger just before 7 a.m. Central this morning. I did not have the phone hooked up to my car stereo on the way to work this morning since my car is in the shop and I'm in a rental.
So I haven't really used the phone much at all today, just a little Facebook viewing earlier. I'd say maybe 20 minutes of use total today so far. Suddenly I noticed a few minutes ago, around 12:30 p.m. Central, that the battery is showing only 33%! The back of the phone feels slightly warm through the case, also.
I checked usage, and somehow both Usage and Standby were in perfect sync at over 5 hours 30 minutes! ***?? I even watched it as the minutes ticked up one on both readings at exactly the same instant.
I checked running processes in SBSettings, and boy there were a lot of them. Only had about 20MB free memory. I got rid of everything in the list.
I also noticed that the phone was in 3G mode, even though it should be on the office wi-fi. I checked wi-fi settings, and it was set to some network SSID I didn't recognize, even though the 3G symbol was still showing at the top. I tapped "Forget this Network" and put it back on our office wi-fi.
So now it seems to be back to normal. The Standby time continues to rack up, while the Usage time isn't going up anymore. But still, what could have caused this? Usage and Standby both reporting the exact same time? I didn't really have anything "running". Several apps were listed in the process list but nothing that I don't normally use every single day. Bejeweled 2 was there, just as I left it when I last played it this morning, but it wasn't running the game or anything.
Why would this just suddenly happen today? Is there any way to see what process is actually using memory and battery? Could it have been somehow caused by that wi-fi network I didn't recognize?

It appears to be Bejeweled 2 causing the battery drain. Game Center is NOT installed on my device, as I'm running 4.0.1. Been on 4.0.1 for a month now, and never had this problem until yesterday. What could the problem be?

Nokia 700 massive battery drain after fp1

Why nokia? I mean why? With gps or not the battery drain is huge if i play 2 hours of asphalt every day i cannot reach the night! Apart of that, better than any android, smooth experience nice new features ! but battery

Has the battery life diminished that much?
I find that even pre-FP1 Symbian's battery life is poor. The 1080mAh batter is cripplingly small. They had to do that to conserve space. I would recommend that you remove widgets such as "Social" and "Twitter/Facebook" that CONSTANTLY check for updates, and set your email retrieve rate to once an hour. Even with this, I struggle to get through a day without the battery dying on me.
I recomend that you buy an external portable charger like the:
TeckNet® iEP387 7000mAh
so that you can charge on the go.

Massive Battery Drain After Mavericks Upgrade on 11" 2013 MacBook Air?

I got my Air about month before Mavericks came out and the battery life was amazing on it. I was easily getting 14-10 hours of life using Chrome and Air Mail App, along with Power Point and MS Word. After the upgrade to Mavericks, it was slow but I started to notice that my battery life during classes was draining so much faster than before and I had not added anything 3rd party software, just the upgrade. I am now down to about 3.5 - 4.5 hours of battery life doing about the same things as before the upgrade. I did a couple of apps and I added (Sims 3 game). However, I have yet to touch it because of the diminished battery life.
I have included a copy of my Etrecheck, can somone take a look and let me know if you think I need to clean something off?
I did do the SMC reset and that seemed to to give a little juice (like putting new tire on your car but still not where it was before the Mavericks upgrade) as I am up to about 6 hours of battery life after the SMC reset.
Please let me know what other information you might need from me that would help and thank you so much!!

Hi Lex,
Not sure why but I had a hard time finding all of the related files to get rid of Origin. But I think I finally got them. I just uninstalled Flash and Chrome. I don't like Safari but all well. I suppose I can deal with it it until Apple fixes this battery issue and then maybe I can go back to Chrome. Safari isn't too happy with certain websites, under the Preferences/Security there is an error message that reads "Google Safe Browsing Service Is Not Available. Has not been updated in 8 days."
Haven't noticed a change in battery since doing all of this so let me know if it will take a couple of days to reset. Or if you see anything else that I can do to help. Thank!

Has anyone noticed a massive battery drain problem after the iOS 6.1 update on the iPhone 4s?

I updated my iPhone 4s last night with iOS 6.1 update. This morning, the battery percentage has been falling at an alarming rate while in standby, and the phone seems to be heating up and staying at an elevated temperature while in standby. Has anyone else noticed this? This only started once I did the update. Any solutions?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Massive Battery drain by Facebook Messenger app

I've googled and Facebook doesn't have a good track record but I thought I'd find more specific complaints on it.
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.2.
my battery usage time is only a few minutes short of the standby time, app using most battery is Facebook Messenge, I uninstalled it for a week and got normal battery life again.
i am a bit hesitant to do a restore of the iPhone, is there anything else I can do? anyone else experiencing this?
My wife's phone is identical but doesn't have this problem.

Allan, no response from them yet.
Meg, yes I've tried different settings for background refresh and location services for facebook messenger and hasn't helped.
Powered iPhone off and on, reset it, neither helped.
Tried using wireless only one day, the next 3G only, only thing that helped was to uninstall facebook messenger, but other family members don't have this problem.
Very frustrating.

Battery drain after IOS 6 update

I and my 3 family members and two fellow employees have all noticed that since upgrading to IOS 6 on our cellphones we have had the following issues;
1. Massive battery drain
2. Battery heat-up during recharge with the phone on but not being used.
3. Lost data
With the phone on and not being used - the charge level drops much faster. I used to go the whole day on one charge and recharge at 10 pm with 30 - 40% of the charge left. Since the IOS 6 upgrade I'm recharging at 4pm with a 10% charge remaining on the phone .
Also - recharging the phone while it is on (but not in use) causes noticible battery heat-up.
Again - this was not the case for any of the 6 of us prior to downloading IOS 6
My conclusion is that there are aspects of this new operating system that use a lot more battery juice than the previous IOS 5.1.1
This significantly increased demand on the battery is showing up as much less operating time and battery heat-up during recharging.
Anybody else experiencing these issues ?

Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
that went through everything.
At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
battery so it's looking good.
If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
My App's & Settings back.
... Then we will see if it has worked.
... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

Nokia 1020 battery drain rates.. mine typical?

I recently got the 1020.. i've installed a battery app.. at one point, post a MS update that i got through dev channels, had issues with massive battery drain.. around 20 percent per hour..
So i reset the phone to factory defaults, per some threads around here.. also tried running with very few apps.. saw around 3.5 percent per hour after that, at least till i put some apps back on it..
This is with wifi, bluetooth and lte on.
My usage throughout the day is minimal.. no videos typically.. just web page hits or email checks or message checks etc.. i turn the phone "off" / standby when not in use typically.. maybe have it on say 45 minutes out of the day without turning it off.. and the rest here and there for email checking.
A few days in row.. start off with 100% around 9am.. by 515 its at 38-40%.. (the recharge rate varies between 25-40%, depending on which recharger i'm using.. i have usb charge ports for the wall.. some are 1 amp, some 2.. not sure this matters on charging)..
Right now i checked the phone.. it shows a 6.8 percent discharge rate.. i really havent seen anything below 5 in awhile now.. it can peak at 11-14 when doing a mix of web/videos etc for 15 minutes.
I do have 2 active tiles and a lot of things pinned.. maybe three swipes worth to get to the bottom if that..
Can anyone comment on their discharge rates.. does this sound normal.. thinking maybe swapping it at the store if they have them there, before my 30 days runs out.. not sure if nokia warranty goes beyond that or not and i'm guessing no advanced replacement if needed.
Thanks in advance

I have a Lumia 920 that is out of warranty, and has been having battery issues for quite a while. I have to add, my phone is developer unlocked. My phone currently dischrages about 20% per hour, or so it says. I restart the phone, and my battery level goes back up, and basic math tells me it is really discharging less than 2% per hour. I have to reset the phone about three or four times a day. Since it is developer unlocked, I wrote an app using the battery API. There are only a few items you can return from the battery API, the ESTIMATED battery % remaining, and the ESTIMATED time remaining. There is also an event that is supposed to fire when the battery % drops 1%. If you don't understand programming, and event is something that happens in code that when it does happen, you can write code to execute when that event happens. So in my app, I can clearly see the battery % drop, the time drop, but the EVENT never fires. I have had battery apps installed, and they mimick the same results I am getting. Also, they never update the battery remaining % or time on live tiles, which tells me the event is not firing in their code either. I have an open discussion in Windows Phone developer forums about this. I just got a 1520, and am going to try and side load the app without developer unlocking the phone to see if the same behavior occurs. Since my phone is out of warranty, I also tried a new battery, but same behavior. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware issue, but a software issue, at least in my case. When your battery runs down, have you tired rebooting your phone to see if the battery level comes back up?

All iOS camera apps heavy battery drain why?

all camera apps on my iPhone 5 cause severe battery drain. Why?

The battery drain on the iPhone due to the iOS 8 is currently a trending issue which APPLE claims to be working on right now for the next upcoming update.
Agreed to the fact as the iPhone 5 is compatible to 4G Network due to which the Disable 3G option has been removed from the Cellular Settings.
You may use some of the below tips to work on the Battery Life:
1. Use of DND mode the most when possible maybe in the night time or when in a meeting,
2. A new option available in PRIVACY > LOCATION SETTTINGS > When Using, Always, Never.
Switch some application to NEVER which you do not use.
3. Switch the Display and Brightness to AUTO BRIGHTNESS,
4. Turn OFF the Bluetooth and WiFi option when not needed,
5. Turn the REQUIRE PASSCODE duration to the lowest option i.e. After 1 Min,
6. If possible use a DARK BLACK wallpaper,
7. In the MAIL Setting, turn OFF the FETCH Setting by selecting MANUALLY.
Let me know if you have already used these settings and still facing issues..!!

Camera battery drain when shooting tethered to LR3.x

Hi:
I've been experiencing very rapid battery drain in my Nikon D90 when shooting tethered into a laptop running LR3.x under Windows7 32-bit. Is this to be expected because of the constant transfer of images across the USB connection?
Thanks in advance for any insight on this.
Regards,
Peter

Even transfering via USB for downloading will cause the battery to drain. Tethering would certainly drain the battery more than shooting non tethered, but it shouldn't feel excessive.

Massive power drain after Belle Refresh update on ...

Hello
From being a minor annoyance the massive power drain from my N8 after Belle Refresh update is now a big problem!
The battery does not even last a full day now
No apps running - power save on, but to no avail.
After advice from Nokia Support I've tried to reinstall Belle Refresh again from Nokia Suite, but it didn't make a difference.
What else can be done? Is it possible to uninstall Belle Refresh completely?
Some have suggested it is because of the weather widget. Any confirmation from Nokia on that issue?

I have Belle refresh for over a month now and I keep running the weather widget permanently on first screen. Overall the power consumption is the same as before on Anna (I skipped the first Belle incarnation).
The only particular thing here is that I flashed clean the full 111.40.1511 version for my phone language. All I can tell is that in the first days after flashing the power drain was significant, merely because of intense phone usage, part of various customizations or just by curiosity. Since then the power consumption has slowly came back to "normal" for my daily usage habits.
Currently running widgets: clock, profile, weather, next coming event, BBC feed, WiFi, 3G, data usage counter, Nokia Battery Monitor, locations near me. Also Nokia Sleeping Screen is active. I gave up in using email widgets because I only use IMAP manual fetch mode and in this mode they are completely useless.

Dell Venue 8 Pro Battery Drain, Support No Help

I lose a silly amount of battery life when the tablet is not in use.
Battery life isn't great when in use either.
Dell support wouldn't do an exchange because the diagnostic check came back fine.
They did tell me to turn down screen brightness etc., not very helpful because I've tried all that. Stayed on Dell's recommended settings trying to avoid this issue. My sleep study seems to indicate that the unit is rarely in sleep at all.
If a fresh install of windows doesn't fix this. I'm done. And dell support has been anything but actually supportive. If it doesn't fall in a checklist you are sol.

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE PERSON THAT SAID THEY DO NOT WANT TO RMA IT//WARRANTY WHEN STILL NEW AND ALSO RELATIVE TO POSTS ABOUT CHARGING WITH BACKUP
I know my response is rather dated, but when you have a severe battery drain issue, just return the unit for an exchange where you bought it.
I know some people mite not have bought it at a "brick" joint, but you should always try to buy your etoolz online, but at a local store for pickup, so you can check it all out and within that window of time offered, return for refund or exchange.
BBuy locally tried to send stuff back for warranty reply, but I always point out the fact it's still under returnable terms, so I can either get a refund or return/exchange and not mess around waiting on my gear.
There are also other ways to buy an other "new" tablet and "exchange" it//the old one also thereby bypassing all stops and go's and getting your new tablet replaced.
I'm always plugged in or on an external battery pack//backup battery pack on DV8Pro anyways, so battery life for me is always longterm.....
For those of you finding you aren't able to charge your via backup battery pack due to cable issues, remember you need a "dumb" usb//"charge" only cable or dumb dongle that makes your cable ""CHARGE ONLY"",,, then it will always charge via any usb powered source.
For example for you that don't understand fully, sometimes devices such as rechargeable peripherals like keyboards and mice and all kinds of non pc devices that now use what appears to be a data cable but is only a charging cable, which does not allow throughput of data due to the fact it's sole purpose is to CHARGE a device, that cable will work.
Like some small radios and bicycle lights and other devices now come with "USB" enabled recharging, and the cables look just like a data cable and will fit a fone, phablet or any standard mini usb plug, those cables are usually CHARGE ONLY, and this is what you need to add to your DV8Pro so it will charge universally bus wise.

Iphone battery draining fast after reboot

hi, my iphone battery drains completely from 100% to 0% in a few hours if I switch the phone off and turn back on. i recently found this out once after I switched off the phone.....But there is no problem (battery can last 1~2 days for normal use)if i do NOT switch off after recharge.
Is this a software issue or hardware?? Has anyone got the same problem? Thank you so much.

A couple more diagnostic tidbits.....my iPhone exhibited odd behavior after downloading the Star Gazer app from the App Store on Sunday. I activated the "arrange icon" feature to move the app icon for Star Gazer to a new position on my iPhone and after I moved it the icon for the app next to it (Weather Channel App) was absent but the label was present. When I slid my app screen back to the home screen and came back, the Weather Channel App icon was visible and the Star Gazer app was now absent but the label was present. I've also had some odd flashes of the home screen after unlocking my phone (I have it secured with a PIN to protect my data). Is this and IOS 4.1 issue?
It is not an iOS 4 issue; it is a very rare problem, and has occurred with all versions. But if you search you will see reports are in the dozens, with 100 million phones in use that's a vanishingly small number. It usually means that memory in the phone is corrupted. If rebooting the phone doesn't fix it you should restore the phone using iTunes.
