Can't use WIFI and the battery consumption goes much faster

I can't use WIFI after my iphone4s was updated to ios6.0 and the battery consumption goes much faster, how to solve ?

This seems to be a problem relatet to the current versions of the app. After uninstalling Spotify I installed an older version, 2.8.0.1081, which worked perfectly with wifi. No newer versions seem to work so I hope there will be a fix soon. I've tried changing the UPnP as well as NAT filtering settings, but the newer versions of the app still wont work.

How long are you using internet for? Are you using WiFi or mobile data? Are you watching video on websites? There are many variables that could explain a perfectly natural battery drain. As I said previously you should try recalibrating the battery. My phone used to drain by mid-afternoon with little to no use until I found out about recalibrating. Since then its been fine and its something I do at least once a month.

Reset the phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears. After the phone restarts, try updating again.

Can I use WiFi and other features without activating phone

I want to find out if I can still use WiFi, connect to the computer, etc without activating actual phone service with Verizon. Basically I plan on getting this phone free with a new contract, but I will continue to use my old phone as the actual active phone. (There are no new phones that don't require $30 data plan that are actually better than the phone I have now.)

Yes, the Kin TwoM will work on wifi without activating the service. Before activating mine, I was able to use web browsing and email for about a week on wifi. I didn't try out the Zune software until later, though I don't think that would be affected either.
However, I did start getting automated txt msgs from verizon warning that I would be in violation of the 2 year discount/aggrement (and be charged full price of the phone) unless I activated the Kin on my number. I went ahead and activated the Kin at that time.
At present, I could not find anything to that wording in the fine print agreement, and I don't think there would be any problem porting my number back to my old phone, but beware that you may have to activate the Kin once then transfer your number back to your old phone.

I got a new IPhone 4s and the battery dies way to fast!!

I got my phone 2 weeks ago and it was ok for 1 week and then after that the battery began to die way fast. You see my phone used to last with wifi the whole day but now it lasts for 5-7 hrs. Also by standby it last around 36 hours. I also turn off everything what I don't use like push email, notifications, location services, 3G ( celluar data), turn off apps that i don't use at the time. And no change. I really want to fix this problem. Please someone help!!!!!

I have flashing grey dots in my calendar and the battery is draining very fast

Hi,
My battery has started to drain very quickly in the last couple of days. it now only lasts about 3 hours after a full charge. After playing with it for hours, I can only find one strange thing. The grey dots in my calender (that show when you have an appt) are constantly blinking. I believe this may be draining the battery. Does anyone know why these are blinking and how to stop them.

You can't downgrade IOS - there is already an ongoing discussion re: battery see link below

My Macbook Pro 2012 is painfully slow and the battery dies out really fast

I don't do a lot of downloading or installing on my computer, I basically just use it to browse the internet or use microsoft office. I haven't used much memory and all the specs on my computer seem fine. I recently went to the genius bar at an apple store and they ran a bunch of diagnostic tests but everything seemed to come up normal. I've backed up all my data and even restored my computer to factory settings. However, my computer still has the same problem. I was told I didn't have any viruses or malware/adware problems and the only reasonable solution the genius bar representative told me that it was tiem to upgrade. However, since these laptops cost over $1,500 new I don't think that's a reasonable solution for me. So if anyone could shine a light on what is possibly happening that would be awesome!
Thank you!

Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

HT4623 Having upgraded my software I have now lost the use of wifi and the battery efficiency has dropped dramatically. I have followed online advice and reset the device - no joy and recently visited an Apple Store, only to be advised to buy a new phone?

Just updated software to 7.0.6 to find wifi facility lost and battery efficiency reduced. Apple store advise to buy a new phone. Surely the problem stems from the update ?

Have you followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 ?
Also try settings>general>reset>reset all settings
If you have followed that article and restored your phone and set it up as new and you're still having that issue you may call and explain you followed the article and are still having the problem. Most likely they will either set up a replacement for you. If they ask you to set up the one time phone support agreement, and they assist you with a restore again, they won't bill you if they end up having to repair it.

I have updated to IOS 6, the App store won't work, is stuck in update mode for 1 day and the battery now goes flat in 3 hrs without use. Can I go back to IOS 5?

Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
Thanks

Just FYI - the situation is resolved. I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works. I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.

I was given a used iPod, and the battery doesn't work for that long.

I want to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can exchange it or give me a new battery, but the iPod isn't registered under my name. My brother said that I have to give the registered name, but I'm unsure what it is, because who I got it from had gotten it from another person. Is it necissary to change the registered name, and if so how do I do this?

What apps are you using when your Macbook is running on batteries?
What do you have loading in your login items?
Open Activity monitor and see what's running under All Processes.
Were you playing games when your Macbook is running on batteries?
Did you turn off your bluetooth?
Do you have anything hooked up to your usb ports?
The above comments or questions factor in the way your battery last when using your Macbook under it's own power.

Going form Note 2 to Note 4, can I use wifi and xfer data before activation

Already have Verizon. I want to update the Note 4 first,move over my apps and data before activating the Note 4, can I do this?
When I do, do i use the SIM card in the Note 2 in the Note 4?

PhilF61
I definitely want to make sure your new phone will be up and running just the way you want! The best way to fully transfer data will be to back up your current phone and then activate the new phone to transfer. Purchase history will be stored if you use the same Google account, and you can backup data using Verizon Cloud too: http://vz.to/1udgXIg

I can't use Firefox and the ShopSite shopping cart.

I already asked this question with my web host and with ShopSite. Their reply was fast and informative. I haven't heard anything back from Firefox.
This seems to point to the conclusion "Warn all customers to NOT use the Firefox browser, prior to entering the online shop."
Or to not use Firefox at all....

Your security software may be scanning the file before passing it to Firefox and that may take some time. So check out the settings of your security software.
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HT1338 I have installed the Mountain Lion and the battery drains exact 40% faster like before...

Hi,
i have upgraded my Mac Book Air to the OS X ML and now we have a lot of problems in our office. Our macs are running out of battery almost 50% faster as before. I understand that it is a problem of the Software, not Hardware. But how long will it last? It is really making like compicated. We were buying Mac Airs exactly because of their battery length and presentation skills...?
Best regards,
Edgar

Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?
Matt

I have been given 5 new iPhone 6 phones and none of them can hold a charge and the latest one cannot charge at all

When I bought my iPhone 6, the phone was great, but now the phone has given me many problems. I’ve gone to the Apple Store 5 times already with the same problem and every time they just give me a new phone. My first problem was that the phone stopped charging. I took it to the Pentagon City Apple Store in Arlington, VA and my phone was given a diagnostic. After the diagnostic, my battery was said to be good and my phone was then replaced. After my phone was replaced, the second phone would drain fast and go from 100% to 20% in about 2 to 3 hours of light to regular usage (web surfing, facebook, spotify, soundcloud) while connected to Wifi and the battery would charge very slowly. After about a week of this, I returned the phone, and told the “Apple Geniuses” at the store about the problem and was given a diagnostic and a new phone.
Every time I go, I am told about closing apps out (which I always do), turning location services off until I need them (which I do), and turning the screen light brightness down (which I turn more than halfway down). The problem of the battery draining fast and the slow charging persisted with the third phone and I eventually took the phone back to a new Apple Store in Towson, MD yesterday. A diagnostic was run on my phone and I was given a new phone and a new charger. My phone worked perfectly like when I originally purchased it. Then later last night it stopped charging just like my first phone did. I took it back today, a diagnostic was run on my phone, and I was given a new phone. Every time I went to a store, I was told by the “Apple Geniuses” that this was the first time that they heard about this problem, which I found hard to believe because I heard at least 30 different people come in with similar problems each time I was in the store. When I left the store today my phone charged for the 1st 30 minutes. However, I took the phone off the charger to make a call and now the phone will not charge again.
After talking to a few people on message boards, I am convinced that the problem is a virus within the IOS software update around the 8.1 through the 8.3 release. I want to know if there is a way to go back to the 8.0.1 software? That way, I don’t keep having the same problems. I have had every iphone since the iPhone 4, and have been pleased with the product thus far, except for my current problems. However, if the problem cannot be taken care of expeditiously I will be forced to go to buy a Droid. This is very time consuming having to spend 1 to 2.5 hours in the store and is costing me money because of gas, 20 to 25 minutes driving there and 20 to 25 minutes driving back home each time and having to pay to park when I go to the one in Arlington, Virginia.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.
