E72- Battery Drain When using Exchange

When using the Exchange application my battery appears to loose power quickly. At first I had Exchange to be active all the time. I changed it to connect now every four hours but even this setting appears to reduce battery time dramatically. Are there any settings that allow Exchange to connect, download email and disconnect?
How are users here handing this to allow use but maintain battery time?

I do have a battery problem. I had an e71. I had push email configured for 5 email accounts. Mail for exchange, yahoo mail and 3 hotmail accounts. The battery never lasted less than 2 full days. With the e72 I get about 4 hours. It is so frustrating....I called Nokia customer support...their answer was to send it back to be fixed. I purchased from Amazon, so I asked Amazon for a replacement, it arrived the next day (great service)... but the same battery life problem. It is clearly software or firmware not a phone defect.
Any ideas.
Thank you

Battery draining when using Exchange account

Hi,
I'm currently using a iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3. I alos syncronize it with a MS Exchange account (manual).
For the last 3 months or so, my battery seems to drain. It seems as if the connection between the phone and the exchange server doesn't disconnect after I've been searching or scrolled in the contact list.
I've tried the following actions but with no effect:
- Rebooting the phone
- Restore to a new phone
- Uninstall the exchange account, reboot and install the account again (makes it work for a few days in best case)
- Close all open applications
- Set the sync between the phone and the exchange account to manual (also in advanced settings)
- Manually drain the battery to empty and after that charged to full
I would be very greatfull for any tips, hints etc since I have to use the phone in my work.
Kind Regards PelleM

Here's a "me too" post. I'd love to hear if anyone makes headway with this. I am the outside Mac geek for a company that has an exchange server, mostly PCs and a handful of Macs and iPhones. All the iPhones are working like a champ save one on which the Mail application periodically stops working with the Exchange account. The calendar and contacts from the exchange account continue to sync just fine, but mail app will simply remain blank when the user clicks on the inbox.
I've been able to kill the account (on the phone) and re-setup and it'll work for 2-3 weeks and then one day simply stop. I've restored the iPhone to factory defaults twice now. This past time I've not restored the contents of the phone from a backup, but rather set it up as a new phone. We'll see if that makes a difference. I've also setup the Exchange mail account as an IMAP account as a backup. Other accounts continue to work just fine when this happens--it's just the Exchange mail account that flips out.
At any rate, if anyone has any additional info/experiences, please post as I'd be curious. I'm hoping this most recent reset will do the trick, but I'm not confident it will.
Cheers,
Stephen

Battery Drain when not in use--Gen 6 Nano

I have used Ipods for years now. Still have an Ipod Classic and a Shuffle that I use regularly. I have been pleased with the battery life, as a whole.
Recently I purchased a Nano Touch--Gen 6. I really like the Ipod + Nike features.
The issue I have is with the battery draining when the unit is not in use. If the unit has been fully charged, I will unplug from computer or wall charger and make sure that: 1)Music/radio is paused 2) Nike receiver is unplugged from Nano. 3) Screen is off.
If I do not use the nano for an extended period of time, say around 12-18 hours, I notice that the battery has drained between 50%-75% even if nothing is playing or "on". Nothing should be draining the battery this far, in my opinion.
I can't believe that this is typical. Do I have a bad battery?
Your help would be appreciated.

You are not alone. I have had my Nano for several weeks now and have noticed the same thing. I would use it for short trips in the car while I ran errands and find that after only technically using it for maybe an hour or so (over the course of several days), I would already be low on battery. I read the manual and you can only put the ipod in sleep mode. It stays on for 36 hours and only then will it actually turn all the way off. So technically the battery last for several days but that doesn't do you any good unless you are using it for long periods of time all at once. I'm really frustrated because I really like it other than the fact that I'm always having to charge it.

IPhone4 battery draining when not in use

am just wondering if anyone experiencing battery draining when not in use? i charge my iphone4 before going to bed and woke up this morning to realise that my battery had drain 22% on stand by... is this normal? can anyone confirm it to me please, thank you

Just an update guys --after draining (on standby) over 20% of my battery charge last week, it has risen to or about 40+% in the last couple of days. I haven't changed any settings or whatsoever. I had to charged it twice during the day yesterday and it was bloody frustrating. anyway, i went to the apple shop today and told them the problem... they scanned my iphone4's battery and it was evident and showed when was the last time it was charged and how much battery life has it lost throughout the day. After scanning my iphone we did not even have to discuss repair or do any setting or software checks. I was gobsmacked --as i did not have to ask for a replacement, I was immediately offered a swap to a brand new iPhone4... lucky me? umm, i don't know...maybe? But the thing is, they seemed to be aware of the problem and they are keeping a low profile on tackling the problem. so my suggestion is if anyone has a battery problem with their unit, take it to apple and have the battery scan. As such, i have to wait and see if this new unit will present the same problem, although i must admit, for some reason, this new unit has a slight different behaviour than my previous iphone4.
Other issues on my previous iPhone4:
1. frequently dropping signal --not a problem with the new replacement unit
2. if i turn off my "phone" feature on the multitasking bar, red dot appears on the phone icon and i couldn't make a call as it seemed blocked and it kept asking me to set-up the voicemail feature every time --again, not a problem with the new unit.
3. even my tomtom app has changed its behaviour, i have discovered new features without updating the app --strange isn't it?
4. playing NOVA game was a pain with the previous unit as i kept getting network problem and interrupting the game.
5. it kept shuffling my music when i'm using ipod whilst walking. imagine, hearing about 8 different tunes in a span of 5 seconds...
anyway, time will tell with this new unit as i have kept the same settings from my previous unit and uploaded my previous back-up data and apps. so it would be like having my old iphone4 and we'll see in the morning if it will drain on stand by as well --i hope not 'cos am getting really frustrated with it. oh, by the way, blue tooth feature don't work with my new replacement unit --NICE!!!

ThinkPad E455 Excessive Battery Drains When Power Off

I bought a new ThinkPad E455 two months ago with AMD processor and I use Windows 7 (64-bit) as my operating system. The problem is, since a week ago, when I turn off my laptop (completely shut-down, not hibernating nor sleeping), the battery looses 14% in less than 24 hours. This problem has never happened before. When I search for solution, apparently my problem is similar to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/E535-High-battery-drain-when-laptop-is-powered-off/ta-p/1249897 and https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/E530-Battery-drains-and-power-manager-issue/ta-p/1249887 and https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/E440-battery-drains-when-powered-off/m-p/1527086/highlight/true#M18743. It appears that the power drains happened in other type of ThinkPad as well. Moreover, it seems that this problem is not limited to ThinkPad series (e.g: http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2324931/laptop-battery-drains-powered-shutdown.html), and more surprisingly, some of other brands experience this condition as well. My question is, what causes the power drain? I mean, the laptop just worked fine for a period of time (in my case it is two months), if it was trigerred by something, what is it? I looked for the technical updating BIOS solution in http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht077068, but unfortunately the series E455 is not in the list. Of course, updating the BIOS using incompatible version is not recommended by the technical support. Please help me.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface When you think the laptop is powered off it's actually in ACPI Power State S5 with power being supplied to the power button and some of the USB sockets. So, when you shut down the laptop and then removed the power cord, if the BIOS version was lower than 1.13, the laptop was still draining the battery.I followed your suggestion, and it seems solving the problem, thank you. However, another problem arises just recently. When I was playing a game on my laptop, the battery capacity is decreasing when the AC power connected (as described by both lenovo and Windows battery gauge). I post this problem in https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/11e-Windows-E-and-Edge-series/ThinkPad-E455-Battery-Capacity-Reduced-When-Connected-to-AC/td-p/2106218. Oddly, the problem (seems) does not occur when I quit the game to windows. Why was this happen?

Battery drains when power connected

Hi,
Early 2011 MBP 17inch battery drains when the power is connected. It seems to be that when the system is having some load battery is discharging even when the power is connected. Is this normal?
Regards

Yes it is normal, For Mac's that is. Apple doesn't supply a large enough AC power supply to both charge the battery, or stop it from being used, when the system is under heavy load. Once you start to run the system hard it will draw power from both the AC and the battery.

Avoiding battery overheating when using MBP in the sun

Are there any ways to keep a MBP battery cool when using it outside in the sun? Or should I just not worry about it?
Today I was sat on my balcony enjoying the Mediterranean sun using my 2014 MBP when Coconut Battery popped up with a notification warning me that my battery was beginning to overheat and that damage could result. It was reporting a temperature of 35.5 C.
So I opened up Macs Fan Control and switched from monitoring the CPU temperature to monitoring the battery temperature. However I get wildly different readings from the 3 battery sensors that MFC monitors compared with Coconut - sometimes the former shows more than the latter, other times the opposite. The hottest either of them registered was 38 C. I tried cooling it by setting MFC to max the fans out when the battery sensor read over 35 C but I'm not sure it made much difference - and having looked at MBP teardowns I know the battery is nowhere near the CPU fan.
I'll be wanting to use my MBP outside more as we move into the heat of summer but I want to avoid battery damage. There's loads of stuff online about MBP CPUs getting hot - something which I think is a silly non-issue - but batteries are definitely more vulnerable to heat than silicon. Any tips anyone?

Thanks, I'm familiar with Battery University. I read a lot of their stuff in some detail a while back when it was quite out of date - I see they've just updated that article so I need to reread it more thoroughly but the only metrics I can see about temperature on that particular page are about battery storage:
"A battery dwelling above 30°C (86°F) is considered elevated temperature and for most Li-ion, a voltage above 4.10V/cell is deemed as high voltage. Exposing the battery to high temperature and dwelling in a full state-of-charge for an extended time can be more stressful than cycling."
It doesn't seem to say anything about the a battery becoming damaged by occasionally heating itself to the mid-high 30s C for relatively short periods as a result of normal use in slightly warmer ambient temperatures.
I've since had more Coconut battery warnings for similar temperatures while using the MBP indoors on my lap at room temperature, and others while the MBP was on a table charging and running some background tasks. As I write this sat in my bedroom the battery is reading 33 C - just 2 C away from the threshhold when the warnings start. This is all well within normal use and should be designed into the unit's normal operating temperatures so I'm not going to give much credence to Coconut Battery's warnings now I don't think.

Lenovo notebook E540 Battery drains when it is not powered on

Lenovo Notebook E540 battery drains when it is not powered on. My colleague said that there is a cloud connection being connected during power off and it consumes power. Is that possible? Any resolution?

Hi Kingchechan,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As far as I know only the Windows update will be accessing to the server, or might be any other 3rd party cloud related application, which might be accessing to the cloud server.
Did you check disabling USB always on in BIOS & Wake On Lan from Windows AND BIOS
Check running command powercfg /devicequery wake_armed to see if any device is programmed to power on the laptop might be this is consuming battery power.

Receiving Error 550 when using Exchange via another software application.

Here's a good one (and I hope I'm able to explain this correctly)....
I work at a hospital where we have a gym facility that is open to employees and also to the public. We use a client management system called Twin Oaks. This Twin Oaks software has email functionality that uses an Exchange user account to send
group emails out to clients (this avoids the front desk staffers from having to create email distro groups in Outlook to send out mass emails).
I worked with the Twin Oaks support staff to get the email integration set up with our Exchange server (it was an easy process, entering the SMTP server name then a few other basic settings).
Emailing through the Twin Oaks software works, but only to clients who have INTERNAL hospital email addresses. The messages are failing to go out to any client that has an external email address (Error 550 states the address is unavailable).
Twin Oaks' response to this is that we have some type of firewall that is preventing the delivery of these emails to external addresses. This is not the case and I can't seem to find any reason that would prevent the mails from going out. We
can email external addresses direct from the generic account we set up for this purpose, but for some reason, the mails are not going when they are sent through Twin Oaks application.
We are using Exchange Server 2010. I can't find any transport settings or policies that would prevent emails from going to external addresses and am stumped as to why this isn't working.
Has anyone else experienced these types of issues when using Exchange through another software application to send messages?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Based on the description, you could send email to external addresses without the Twin Oaks software. However, with the Twin Oaks software, you couldn't send successfully.
For this issue, I recommend you enable message tracking and check whether you could retrieve message tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software.
If you couldn't retrieve message these tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software, it means that the Exchange server is OK and the crux of the problem is the Twin Oaks software.
Here is an article about message tracking log for your reference.

Battery drain when not in use

Occasionally, the battery in my 3rd generation iPad rins down to near nothing in a very short time, even though I am not using it. The Ipad has not been turned off, but there are no apps open. The WiFi is on, but cell data turned off. Sometimes, when I have set it down for a few hours, I'll pick it up and it is particularly warm and the battery is near dead. Other times, it seems to hold a charge for several days. When I am using it, the battery drain seems to be normal. Is there something under the hood, as it were, that I am missing? Is there something I have left running that isn't apparent?
Thanks,

Look in the notifications. there's a ton defaulted to on that you may not need.
Also look to background app update and background app refresh. those also run in the background and can effect your battery.
You may also want to shut down any programs/apps that are running that you may not need. Double tape the home button. You'll see the previews for all running apps on the screen. Flick the preview up and off the screen to close the app. Tap on the home screen preview or single tap the home button to exit the mode.

Decreased Battery Performance when using SL. Apple states I am alone..

This thread is mainly aimed at people that are using a mid 2009 unibody MacBook Pro 13" or upwards that came pre-installed with Leopard. Since upgrading to Snow leopard have you noticed a significant decrease in how long the battery lasts while using the machine in the same fashion?
Am I alone? I first reported this issue to the Dutch customer service team back in October 2009 and since then have fought it all the way to make Apple admit that there is a problem with a minority of customers. To this day according to executive customer relations, I am the only person who has reported this issue to them. I find this hard to believe as there is a mass of information/threads/blogs etc on the internet with many people complaining about the same issue.
The following is an email I sent to the [email protected] email as a last resort.
Dear Steve,
I am writing to you as a last resort hoping that my complaint will be dealt with professionally as I have actually given up all hope with the Apple customer service. I do not expect that you will personally read this letter but I just trust that someone will care and pass this to someone that will treat my complaint seriously as I really am losing all faith with Apple.
I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 13" mid 2009 model at the end of June 2009. Around 3 weeks after I purchased the machine I received a message from Apple stating that I was eligible for a copy of Snow Leopard as it was compatible with my machine and because I had just purchased a new Mac. I upgraded the Mac to Snow Leopard without any issues. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I noticed a massive reduction in battery performance. When I ran the machine on Leopard I would easily get the advertised 7 hour battery life while doing basic web browsing with all the battery settings set to the Mac default recommended settings. On Snow Leopard I would not get anything more than 4 hours completing the same tasks.
I contacted Apple about this and was provided with the following reference number XXXXXXXXX I was basically told that I should monitor what I was doing etc and try using the screen on the lowest setting to see if this would improve the performance, it did not. I am a busy man and work in graphic design so unfortunately I put up with the battery issue until my Hard Drive decided to die in April. I contacted Apple again about this and was again provided with a reference number XXXXXXXXXX this time I was asked to do various steps to help fix the machine which did not work. Eventually I had the machine booked in for repair. When the machine was booked in for repair I also stated that I would like the battery issue addressed once and for all as I still only get around 4 hours charge. I was told this would be looked into. After 2 weeks of having no machine (and losing out on work) I received my Mac back with a new Hard drive installed as the old one was corrupted. I asked the Apple employee if my battery had been addressed and it had not. I refused to except my machine back as the battery issue was not resolved. After another 2 weeks of not having my Mac (more loss of work on my account) I received it back this time a new battery and motherboard had been installed.
I returned to my office and reinstalled Snow Leopard, my Adobe Master Collection and charged to 100% I then tested the machine on battery. Again I received no more than 4 hours using BELOW recommended Mac battery settings. I contacted Apple again by telephone (another 0900 number call at my expense) and was messed around left right and centre. The employee on the telephone did not know what to do so transferred me to one of the Mac level 2 agents. I have never been spoken to so rudely and was even told that the only way I could expect 7 hours battery life from a MacBook Pro 2009 model is to use it with the lid closed. Ridiculous hey? I was also even told by one of the previous customer service agents that I could try using the machine with the battery disconnected. Even more ridiculous considering it is a unibody model.
At this point I started doing research on the issue and found that I was far from alone with the battery issue. I have found numerous people suffering from the same issue. Below are a few links containing the same issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10337524&#10337524

http://forums.cnet.com/5208-21565_102-0.html?threadID=357366
At this point I decided to try something different, something that was not recommended or mentioned by any Apple employee, sales or technical. I decided to reformat the HD and install Leopard back on the on the machine. I then completed a battery test and low and behold my 7 hours of battery life were fully back. I think this can safely say that the issue is clearly with the OSX and not the hardware.
I then contacted Apple customer service by phone (more 0900 numbers at my expense) I spoke to a senior Applecare advisor called XXXXX XXXXXXXX and explained my issue in full. I told xxxxxxx that I wanted this matter looking into and that I wanted a machine that would give me what is advertised using Snow Leopard, as know where on the Apple site or in the Snow Leopard documentation does it state ' Expect to lose 3 hours '
I provided xxxxxxxx with a system info file and he sent it the Apple engineering team. A week went by and I received an email from him with the report from engineering. Engineering basically blamed it ALL on 3rd party applications, they even blamed it on the weather widget stating that it is constantly updating and will drain power. My remote access software was also blamed which was not even running in the background.
1: The weather widget updates when you select it not constantly.
2: The weather widget is by DEFAULT installed on a machine so thus would be classed as an Apple product in my opinion.
That evening I decided to reformat my HD and reinstall Snow Leopard. This time I installed ONLY Apple software updates and nothing else. I then tested the battery again (getting very boring now) using the same settings as previous tests. This time I managed to have 4 hrs and 15 mins. Just 15 minutes more than what I had previously had. I then contacted xxxxxxx again and provided him with another system information file from the clean install. I explained that I had tested this with just the airport on and basic web browsing on various sites (my exact words) Another week went by and I received a call from xxxxxxx with his report from engineering. He said that Engineering wanted to know if I had tested this with basic web browsing or sat on Youtube or other flash based video streaming sites for 4 hours as this could reduce the battery life.
As you could imagine I was furious. I repeated myself to xxxxxxx about my tests and was told that he would go back to engineering. I received another call from xxxxxxx stating that engineering are looking into it. I asked how long it would take for an answer on this and we agreed on a 2 week time frame. It is now over 2 weeks and I have sent 2 emails to xxxxxx and still have not received a reply.
This issue has been going on since October 2009 when I first reported it. We are now in July 2010 and I am still suffering with this, as you can imaging this is unacceptable and not what one would expect from a company like Apple. My complaints summarized are below, I believe the obvious speak for themselves.
1: There is no disclaimer on the Apple site stating that Snow Leopard will decrease the performance of a battery on a machine that did not come preinstalled with Snow Leopard. Neither is this information provided on the installation PDF instructions that come with the Snow Leopard disc.
2: If there were such a disclaimer on the Apple site then why would I have my battery and motherboard replaced by the Apple repair team when there was clearly nothing wrong with them in the first place. Why was I never told this by any agent on the phone or in the Mac store? The answer seems clearly that this information is not available to the public or to Apple staff which is a big waste or my time as well as theirs.
3: I have missed out on work because of having my Mac in for repair for a total of 4 weeks. As mentioned above there was clearly no need to have had the battery or motherboard replaced.
4: I have spent money calling the 0900 numbers on numerous occasions simply getting passed around from Apple employee to Apple employee and still have no answer to my problem.
5: I have wasted so much of my own time clean erasing my hard drive including zero out of sectors and reinstalling operating systems, not to mention other software and Apple updates. All of this comes to many hours of total wasted time at my expense when I could have been working.
Where we stand now is that I am on the verge of taking legal proceedings with the Dutch Consumentenbond as this machine is not suitable to run with the Snow Leopard OSX when Apple advertise that it is.
I expect either a full refund of my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 or an exchange for a Macbook Pro 13" that comes with Snow Leopard preinstalled with the disc in the box. I also expect to be compensated for my loss of time, money I have spent on the phone to Apple and the loss of work while the machine was in for unnecessary repair.
I am really at the end of my patience with this issue and feel that I have been much more than fair with my reports, honesty and patience.
I trust to hear from somebody soon regarding this issue so that we can finally put it to a close once and for all in a professional manor.
Regards
I received a phone call within 14 hours of sending the email from executive customer relations. They came back with new information from engineering but did not think it was acceptable as engineering were now blaming my battery decrease on the assumption that my apartment might be too hot this causing the CPU to run at a higher temperature making the battery decrease quicker. We both agreed that it was an unacceptable answer.
The day after I received another call from them stating that engineering had now finished tests and came to the conclusion that when testing on Leopard and Snow Leopard on the MacBook Pro 2009 there was no difference in battery run time whats so ever. I found this hard to believe so asked exactly how the test was conducted. Was it conducted in the same fashion that I had spent the last 9 months talking about. ' Using below default energy saving settings with only airport on while completing basic web browsing '???
They confirmed this was not the case, engineering had basically turned the machines on, turned the screen right down to 1 bar and left them on screen saver over night. As you can imaging I was speechless (for a few seconds)
Apple seem consistent on NOT admitting that there is an issue with battery performance for a minority of customers. As is stands now engineering in Europe have now passed the case over to engineering in the US for further ' in-depth ' tests.
I know there are people out there that are suffering the same issues as myself and I welcome you to please contact me with your experiences. As the more of us that complain about this make it harder for Apple to deny this and brush it under the carpet.
Please feel free to reply to this thread or email me directly on [email protected]

Please, nobody's going to waste their time reading all that! I don't know what you possibly could have said about this issue that took up so much space, but if you can't express it more concisely, it's probably not worth reading.
I have used SL on both a unibody MBP and an older MBP. On the older MBP, when I upgraded from Leopard to SL, I got a noticeable increase in battery life immediately. I have no such comparison on the unibody MBP, since it had SL installed to begin with, but I'll put it this way: I haven't come close to running out of power on it. I used it once for about 4 hours and still had more than a 1/3 charge. I could have easily used it for another couple hours, at least. And this was with a 17" MBP, which uses more power than your 13", and without much in the way of battery-saving going on. (Screen at full brightness, AirPort on and in use, Bluetooth on, etc.)
It's difficult to say that SL is the problem when it clearly isn't for everyone. What your problem is, I don't know, but maybe if you posted a more concise question you'd get some answers.
I think ..
This thread is mainly aimed at people that are using a mid 2009 unibody MacBook Pro 13" or upwards that came pre-installed with Leopard.....
at the beginning of the thread I made it pretty clear, if you are not affected by this then I'm happy for you, but then the thread is clearly not aimed at you. I can guarantee that I have tested this exactly the same way I did with Leopard and there is a significant decrease. I also know there are people out there that have gained battery life but there have also been many threads containing people who have lost battery life.

Battery draining when macbook pro sleeping

When i leave a certain program open and the macbook pro goes to sleep the battry drains to 0%. When the program is not open the battery holds its charge when sleeping. Is there anything i can do to prevent this program from runing down the battery?

To anyone claiming that the poster is "wrong" about their Unibody Macbook Pro battery draining during sleep- I would counter that you are the one who is wrong.
I used to have a 2006 Macbook Pro that I could close the lid, let it sleep for several days, open it back up and bingo, plenty of life, nearly unchanged from when I closed it. On my new 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody, if I close the lid and open it back up the next day, the battery is either completely gone and in hibernate mode or I have about 10% left. This is from a full charge!
Yes, I know the machine is actually sleeping because I have the pulsating light. No it isn't any software I'm running because I cloned over the hard drive from the old machine resulting in an identical system and experienced the issue right away. Later, I performed a clean install from Snow Leopard DVD, didn't install any software, and noted the exact same problem.
No it isn't the battery. It is in "normal" condition with over 5200 mAh remaining at full charge.
No it is not from BlueTooth; it is disabled. No it is not from a CD or DVD playing in iTunes, there is none inserted. No it is not from File Sharing or any other sharing; none are enabled. I have eliminated all the variables identified in this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776) but still the problem persists.
This is definitely a hardware problem and one that Apple seems to be ignoring. I just can't justify buying another computer from these guys as all indications are that they have abandoned supporting their once core user base, professional media authors, in exchange for teeny-bopper iPod buyers.
Absolutely no acknowledgment of this issue after countless posts on many threads from dissatisfied users verifying the problem is bad customer service and bad public relations.

IPad 3 very hot w battery drain when streaming AirPlay!

Why does my iPad 3 get very hot and battery drains very quickly only when streaming with AirPlay?

Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same or similar scenario that I was (see first post), turns out that the Apple Care Geniuses determined that the PMU (Power Management Unit - I think the "U" is for "unit" anyway), was corrupted or not working properly, so too much power was being used for tasks that shouldn't have used up so much power.
They replaced my unit, it may or or may not be a refurbished unit, although it looks new and was manufactured on a later date than the one I brought in.
The Geniuses were very helpful and didn't just turn me away saying to "turn down the brightness or turn off WiFi when not in use" which I do anyway.

Battery drain while using Safari after 8.2 ios upgrade?

Anyone else having battery drain issues after upgrading to 8.2? When I use Safari a lot, I notice the battery drains quickly. I see that the Safari loading icon is often animated.
Also, I saw a suggestion to turn off motion and fitness tracking or something in the privacy settings, but I don't see that option in my iPhone 5. Can this be turned off on iPhone 5?
iOS 8.2 has been terrible for me. How was this allowed to get out of beta? Dictation is screwed up in Safari, and it doesn't fix the longstandig copy and paste bug (in Safari the cut/select/copy options disappear after half a second) nor does it fix the atrocious way that Safari reloads tabs when you toggle between them. The tabs didn't used to reload every time before ios 8. The reloading of the Safari tabs makes you lose anything you have written in forms on Safari pages.
Apple really needs to get its act together. The software has been so much less reliable than in previous years. Are the beta testers even doing their jobs?
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions about the battery drain issue or anything else mentioned here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Facing battery drain issues after upgrading to 8.2. turned off location services and background refresh for a bunch of apps and also turned off motion and fitness tracking but still battery drains no matter what you do.
iOS 8.2 is terrible for me too.
