Does the alarm clock drain the iPhone 4 battery?

My iPhone 4 battery drains overnight and I was wondering if the alarm clock has something to do with it. If this is not the case, is there a way to not have the battery drain overnight?
Please let me know of anything you know to conserve battery life as much as possible.

Leaving it overnight without charging will use small amount of battery. Reason is that it is still connected to a 3G network which draws some power to maintain a good reception. Anything not in sleep mode will use some battery.
To conserve battery life as much, just keep it in the charger overnight. It will not harm the battery as when the phone is fully charged, the charging stops.
I normally keep my phone in my charger when I'm home, but when I go out somewhere I unplug it.

    I'd say get a new roommate. 
    Barring that, record your voice, create a ringtone with it and sync it to his phone.  Google for how to create ringtones... there are dozens of easy, free ways to do this.  There are also a few apps that do this.

  • How can I change the alarm clock sound on my iPhone

    I can't figure out how to change the alarm sound on the Alarm Clock in my iPhone?  Anybody got an idea for me?

    What's wrong with you? Oh, now that you realized you made a mistake and I didn't say "Alarming"? The app tited "Alarmed" is the first thing that pops up if you search the App Store using the search term "Alarmed". It is also the name of the app as it appears on the screen of my phone.  Oh, and the developer refers to it as "Alarmed" on his website.It may not have occured to you but, it is possible for more than one app to have the same name. Most of the people here are smart enough to figure out which one is the alarm clock by reading the description. But, we've already covered the reading comprehension thing, 

  • Alarm clock draining battery

    It appears that after I use the alarm clock (as countdown timer), the alarm clock continues to run even after the alarm is finished. I can see it on the usage timer: even when I know I only used the phone for a few minutes, it may give me 4-5 hours usage, and the battery suddenly drains quickly; it appears the alarm clock prevents the phone from going to sleep. It happens when I stop the alarm using the off-button on the top of the phone. If I go in and exit alarm clock, it stops correctly.
    Anybody else experienced this? If you have a quick battery drain, it *could be* alarm clock, weird as it may sound. I was very puzzled with why my battery suddenly drained quickly, until I narrowed it down to alarm clock.

    Yeah, it's pretty annoying.

  • How do u shut off this vibrate on the alarm clock apps

    EVer since I updated my iPad to this ios6 it has been doing odd things. But I rely on my alarm clock to get me up and it is not going off its saying to shut the vibrate off. How the he!! Do I do this?

    It would be too user-friendly to put it in the settings of the alarm clock. The only way to control vibration is in settings general and turn it off globally.

  • Does alarm clock drain down our iphones' batteries?

    Well, I went to App store and looked for "alarm clock free for iphone." The results appeared are vary. But the question is I don't know if these apps would drain down our iphones' batteries due to the fact that we must run the app through the night in order to show the digital clock and let it wake you up in the morning. Please help me answer this question. Appreciate it!

    I have used the phone ( and my BlackBerry in the past ) as a clock, with alarm when and if needed in this fashion for years. ( pretty much all my phones since Lithium ion batteries became the norm, in lieu of NiCad or NiMh ) .... Never had a problem and the original factory battery usually outlived the phone. Battery does get exercised with use in the day, and charge cycles ( the criterion specified for battery life) are significantly reduced.  I suspect one of the 'requirements' to run the battery wayyyyyy down has something to do with re calibrating  the battery gauge , but I personally have never had battery life issues with any phone ( maybe just pure luck, but ..... ). Also, here in the Caribbean, where power black outs aren't uncommon,  its nice to know your trusty cell is charged ....  When the power goes out, it may be 20 min or 4 hrs..... So if/when that happens , I turn off Bluetooth and wifi right away.  With modem & router unpowered, thus no wifi, it will help conserve battery by preventing phone from searching for a signal which ain't there :-)

  • Does turning the LTE feature drain the battery life and battery lifespan?

    Does turning on the LTE feature drain the battery life and lifespan of the iphone 5S. Also checking emails and going on the internet drains the lifespan of the battery?

  • Using the Alarm clock -- does the ipod need to be on the charger?

    Does the ipod (touch 4g) have to be on the charger in order for the alarm clock to work?
    Or does the ipod "awake" from the off position and sound the alarm?

    The alarm will work if the iPod is asleep (screen goes black automatically after set period of inactivity or you momentarily press the power button and you have to slide to unlock). However, if you power it off (hold power until power off slider appears and you slide it) it will not alarm.

  • Turning the vibrate off on the alarm clock

    Does anyone know how to turn off the vibrate function on the alarm clock that comes standard on the 4S?  I have a nice tune playing to wake me up and it's ruined by the jarring noise the phone makes as it vibrates.  I still want it to vibrate for other notifications.
    Thanks,

    Yeah, that is an unfortunate feature loss of the new iPhone. I think that it's just that Apple finally feels confident in the battery life on 3G that they don't feel that being able to turn it off is necessary for decent battery life (by their standards).

    If your talking about turning off Cellular Data, that does not turn off 3G. Which is what mreda is wanting to know.

  • Would the alarm clock works with the tablet is off / shutdown?

    Hi all
    Some users (including me) will turn off / shutdown their device when they are asleep to conserve device battery life.
    Would the alarm clock work if the tablet is off / shutdown? I do know some smartphone alarm clock would work when the smartphone is off and when it's ringing, it would just automatically turn on the device without user manually on it.
    Have a nice day!

  • How to: Turn of the alarm clock after you've pressed snooze?

    Hello,
    In the morning I like to use snooze once or twice and because there's a possibility of falling asleep again, I always use snooze instead of turning of the clock. However, when I do get up, I'd like to turn of the alarm and snooze, which I cannot find out how to do. I always have to wait for it to go of again, so I can turn it of.
    I have found out that if you go to clock -> alarm clock feature, turn off and on again the alarm clock, it solves the issue, but the everyday clicking of that is frustrating.
    Is there an faster easier way?
    I also noticed there is a snooze countdown on the screen, but sliding it, does not turn it off.
    Thanks,
    Reg,

  • Using the alarm clock

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the Alarm Clock feature on my iPod. If I set the alarm for a time that's only a minute or two in the future, it seems to work just fine. However, if I set it for ten minutes (or more) in the future, then just set it down, the iPod times out and shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. Then, when the alarm time comes around, nothing happens.
    Is the alarm clock supposed to be able to "turn on" the iPod when it is off? If so, why wouldn't it be doing it? If not, how do I prevent my iPod from turning off, so that the alarm will work?
