Galaxy s3 phone is draining battery, what is the cause and how do i fix it?

in the past week my phone goes dead within a couple of hours after its completely 100% charged. wondering how to fix this, what is draining the battery at such a fast rate? ive factory rebooted the system twice, uninstalled all my apps that I downloaded yet something is still wrong

threeboysmamma77,
Oh no. I am so sorry to hear of the battery issues. Thank you for everything you have tried already. Have you tested the device with a different battery to see if it still drains quickly? Have you also tested the device with another charger to make sure it is properly charging the battery all the way?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What does "it will not let me purchase it" mean exactly? Are you getting an error message?

I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
still import the JPEGS.

Hi IG viper,
Placing your iPod into recovery mode should allow you to successfully restore the device.
You might see these error messages if any of these are true:
Your device has a beta version of iOS.
You're trying to install an earlier version of iOS (downgrading).
Your device has unauthorized modifications to iOS, also called "jailbreaking."
Use recovery mode to restore your device to the latest version of iOS.

Yesterday while downloading an app on my 3GS, my iPhone froze, and I switched it off to reboot. Following that, every few minutes, the screen will flicker and the phone will restart. What's wrong? And how should I fix it?

I recieved my iPhone 3GS around Christmas. It has been working great, until yesterday. I was downloading an app and suddenly my messaging froze. I couldn't view incoming messages, and every chat I clicked on displayed the same frozen dialogue with only the contact names different. (The app was supposedly reliable, I read over the reviews.) I rebooted my phone in hopes of fixing this, and everything seemed fine for a couple of minutes. Then the screen slightly flickered, and my phone restarted itself. Now, after turning on again, it continues to flicker and crash every few minutes, whether I'm using it or not. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

Restore the Firmware with iTunes.
If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take to Apple for resolution.
If no coverage, the next step would be battery replacement.

If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

What is the cause of a hesitation when I use Google play on my ellipsis 7 when using wi fi? How do I fix the problem?

Hello Guido1812! I can certainly help you today! Do you notice any hesitation or lag when you are connected to your 4G data? Who is your Wi-Fi provider? You may need to reach out to your Wi-Fi provider to reset your router. Keep us posted. Thanks!

Sounds like it is time for an out of warranty replacement or an upgrade to the iPhone 4.

I have several keynote presentations on my computer but now am getting the message that the program cannot be installed "because of a problem." All this started when I bought microsoft office for University (2011). What is the problem and how can I fix

I have several keynote presentations on my newish computer but am not unable to open them. I get the message "keynote cannot be installed because of a problem" (unspecified). Does anybody know why this happend? Does it related to using Microsoft "University" 2011? How can I fix it? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
I just tried the 3-step process suggested on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431353
This all started when my mouse/thumb clicker was going crazy. Found an expanded battery. Obviously need a new battery. Unfortunately must wait 6 weeks to get my new battery. Meanwhile, I'm running my computer on AC only, as there appears to be no other option. I was informed that when using AC only (no battery) some high-energy-use programs like Office might not function.
Do you know if there is away to use office even when just using AC and not having the battery in? I'm doubting if I have other OSX problems because everything else works: email, safari, itunes, iphoto, quicktime, etc . . . . ?

Dropped my iPhone 4 and now There are strange vertical and horizontal line plus red/orange background. What is the problem and how do I fix it ?

I can't see the apps or unlock my phone but at the top I see the time/mobile service ect.(it is turquise as if the colour has been reversed) and get notifications! Voice control ect. works as well !

I think that there is a problem with your lcd screen which can only be fixed by replacing the whole lcd assembly. You should definitely take your phone to an apple store and have them fix it. Please dont attempt to replace the lcd screen by yourself because you can and will do more damage to your phone. Take it to an apple store and they will fix it for you.
