FIX for battery draining quickly. Turn off push for FACEBOOK

I thought my iphone battery must be getting old, as my battery would only last half a day despite less than 1 hr of usage. But after some investigation in the preferences, I turned off Facebook push and back to half battery after a whole day outside making numerous calls and light web surfing, wireless, network on 3G with location services on. Hope this helps others from going crazy!

The 3G option. WHEN that option is off, iphone is connected to your operators 2g network! Because 3G has often weaker signals then 2G
Good luck!

Turn off push for Exchange account?

I don't want to use push for my work Exchange account. In Settings, when looking at "Mail Folders to Push" for that account, I can't uncheck "Inbox". However, I have turned off push in the "Fetch New Data" global setting. Which one takes precedence? Is push on or off for this account?

If you go to settings, mail, fetch new data, advanced, and select your exchange account, you should be able to turn fetch settings to manual for that account. If you have pushed turned off under fetch new data, then no accounts should get push mail.

Solution to Sony A6000 battery drain even turned off

I have had my A6000 for a month and noticed battery drain even when powered off from 100% to 85% in less than 12 hours.I tried airplane mode to shutdown wifi and though this help reduce the power drain by about 5% it did not eliminate it.Then I read a post by a fellow with the same problem who also owned an A5000. He experimented with swapping batteries but the A6000 still drained to 85%. The A5000 did not. The main difference between these two models is that the A6000 has the EVF eyepiece.It appears that the EVF proximity sensor will drain battery power even when the camera itself is powered off. I isolated the camera so nothing was near the sensor and overnight drain was reduced. My next step was to switch from auto to monitor only setting in FINDER/MONItOR before power off.IT WORKED. 0% BATTERY DRAIN OVERNIGHT WITH POWER SWITCHED OFF.Summary: To conserve battery, (1) leave the camera with airplane mode on unless you need wifi and (2) before switch the power off set FINDER/MONItOR from auto to moniter only to turn off the EVF proximity switch.Please fix these in firmware if possible Sony. Clearly neither of these features needs to remain active draining battery power if the a 6000 camera is powered off . It would make this amazing camera even better.

Good pick up. I wonder it this is also an issue for other cameras from Sony with EVF - any body got time to test it?

How can I turn off push for sent items in an Exchange account?

I have an Exchange account set up in iOS8.3. I would like to set the sent folder to fetch rather than push. And while I can go into my list of pushed mailboxes and uncheck the Sent folder, the change does not stick and goes right back to push when I go back into the settings. This was not the case in iOS7. I was just wondering if this was a bug in iOS8 or if this behavior is by design. I already checked with my Exchange admins, and they stated that there is no policy preventing users from setting push and fetch as they please. Thanks!

But why turn off battery charging, makes no sense in this case. You either run off the battery or plug it in and run off the battery while it is charging.
The power draw won't change appreciably.
My bad power consumption will change
It would seem the best strategy would be to get on with a fully charged battery plug in the laptop and let it trickle charge as you use it. Given the length of the flight this should give you the longest use with the minimum amount of draw from the seat outlet.

Nano battery Drain Whilst Turned Off

Hi
Anybody else got problems or advise, as my battery on my 4gb Nano is draining in about 15 hours whilst off.
Thanks

A couple years back I had a third generation iPod that I left connected to my computer overnight. Some days I'd grab it and have a fully charged iPod, other days I had a dead iPod. I finally realized that on the days the iPod's battery was dead the computer had gone to sleep. While asleep, the firewire card wasn't supplying electricity and the iPod discharged. I solved it by buying a powered USB/Firewire hub.
I wonder if you are experiencing the same problem? An easy test would be to charge the iPod during the evening and disconnect it from the computer before going to bed. In the morning if it has a full charge you'll know. A powered USB2 hub isn't too expensive.

Battery draining quickly

My older iPad 1 stays charged much longer than my newer iPad 2; however, they are both worse now since updating to ISO 5. I am having the charge the iPad 2 almost daily.............
Can someone explain why this is happening?
I don't have Apps running in the background. I don't have wifi on when not needed. I don't have "Push" email on. I don't have "location" on; other than, finding my iPad. So, please don't suggest closing Apps down as the only thing left to do with these iPads right now is to sit and look at them............
Thanks

As mentioned, there are indeed some bug fixes on the way. The specific one that helped my iPad 1 battery drain was turning off the automatically "Setting time zone" feature. It's a location service that is a "system service", so sort of outside the other set of location services. You specifically have to choose a setting enable the icon to see when system services are using location services— and when I enabled that, I could see that it was on constantly, 24/7, whenever time zone setting was enabled. After turning off automatic time zone support, my battery life went back to iOS4 performance, or even better!

Turn off cellular for apps and they turn back on. Fast battery drain. Shuts down at 30-40%. Battery reads "0" when but rises quickly to 17

About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

I've turned off push notifications for certain apps but the push notices still appear. Any idea why?

Hi there,
Apologies if this has been asked before.
My issue is not with notifactions not working, exactly the opposite. I have turned off notifications for several of the apps on my phone, but notifications still appear.
Is this a known problem? The main offender is an app called FreeAppADay.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?

My Ipad wont retrieve my new emails and if I try to check passwords in Settings, the settings window only stays open open for a second or two and the automatically closes. Any help on how to fix. I tried the turn off and on trick and that didn't work either. Thanks for any help.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
Talk time:
Up to 7 hours on 3G
Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
Standby time: Up to 300 hours
Internet use:
Up to 6 hours on 3G
Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Knowing what you were using it for would help

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck

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?
