Here's the solution to awful battery life on ios 5.

After updating my iphone 4 to ios 5 my battery would drain from 100% to dead in around 4 hours with no use and would constantly be warm to the touch - especially on the left side of the phone where the battery is. However after resetting network settings i only lost 20% battery after 5 hours and is now a normal temperature. To do this go onto settings/general/reset/reset network settings. You will get the screen you get when restoring for a minute or so but when it boots back up just put your wifi code in and everything should be back to normal with a good - if not better - battery life.
Hope this helps, regard.

I am going to make it as brief as possible my 1 month experience with my brand new Iphone 5
-Januarry 11 - I purchase the Iphone 5
-First day the phone battery lasted on stand by for more than 24 hours
-Second day, I upgraded the software for IOS 6.1
-Battery issies begun. Battery on stand by last 4 - 6 hours
-I took the Iphone to Apple Store, they say everything is OK, that I had too many apps or that I should have make the restoration process from "New Iphone" instead backing up.
-I do the New Iphone thing and the battery now lasts more than 24 hours on Stand By
-Then Comes 6.1.1
-Battery drain problems are back
-Restoring the Iphone as NEW does not works this time. I have to charge 3 times a day my Iphone 5
-Yesterday 6.1.2 addressing to fix this bug
-I do the upgrade. Worst than before, battery drains 10% in 10 Minutes in Stand by!!
-I cant make the battery to fully charge to 100%, no matter how long I plug it, even overnight, after 8 hours, I was expecting a 100% charge, but it was at 97%!!!! With all apps closed, WIFI and Bluetooth OFF
-I do the whole restoring process from NEW again. - NOTHING!! - It has been only 3 hours since i Umppluged it and now I have 33% and thats because I charge it on my car on my way to Work, about 30 minutes.
-6.1.2 its even worst that 6.1.1
WTFF!!!!!!! IS APPLE DOOMED?

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last?

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last anywhere near 5 hours, as advertised? This is my second one and it lasts 2. It's false advertising, and Apple doesn't seem to making a big deal or know anything about it, which i'm sure they do. Since their general practice is to deny problems exist in all their products, i'm here to make it known that the most recent Macbook Pro has a severe battery issue and it needs to be addressed.
I'm running OS X 10.8.3, Bluetooth is off, and haven't installed any third party software.

My MacBook Pro is over a year old and still gets 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on how intensively my application activity is hitting the CPU and disk. Remember that battery life depends on usage and component loads. You could get 1 hour editing HD video since it would hit all cores and slam the disk constantly, or 8 hours in a cabin in the woods with wifi and Bluetooth turned off, only writing text files, and with the backlight turned down and no disc in the drive. You should check Activity Monitor to make sure you don't have some processes using unusually high amounts of CPU for long periods of time (like browser tabs running Flash ads in the background, chewing up CPU and battery power without even being seen).
Like mende1 says, there are not huge numbers of Mac users getting only 2 hours, or the world would have heard about it by now and MacBook sales would be down. If you are only getting 2 hours there is something going on local to your machine or usage habits.

That's not strictly true. Apple has often announced updates or repair/exchange programs to address various problems that had come up over time. Maybe not always, but it does happen. They also have often helped me and my friends when we brought in Macs that were out of warranty and had problems. They had no legal obligation to work on our Macs for free, but they did anyway.

Broken image links on APEX 3.0 in Oracle 10g XE? Here's the solution

You're on Oracle 10g XE and you've just upgraded your APEX from 2.0 to 3.0. You log into APEX Admin and there's tons of broken image links. You look into the Oracle documentation for APEX and it instructs you to copy the Images folder into your htmldb directory if you're using Oracle 10g standard, etc. But you're using Oracle 10g XE and there is no Images folder anywhere to be seen!
HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html
Excerpt from the website:
In OracleXE these resources (Images) are stored directly in the database, using the Oracle XMLDB feature. You can access the resources and modify them directly by using the WebDAV feature of the XMLDB.
(1) With Internet Explorer, just go to File > Open > http://127.0.0.1:8080/i (check "open as webfolder")
Then, copy the contents of your apex/images folder into this webfolder. It will take about 10 minutes. When it's done, refresh your Apex 3.0 website and lo and behold! Images! :)
Be sure to thank Dietmar Aust for his solution to this problem, provided on his website: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html

Another option: Try the Oracle Database XE and Application Express 3.0.1 install guide.

HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps

Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Found the reason why my battery life was short

As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.

If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them.

International texting can be a crap shoot. It's not a question of phone compatibility but of carrier interoperability. I regularly text from my iPhone to my (domestic) colleagues (who all have Samsungs) and to a friend with and HTC (an old one, too) without difficulty.
One last question - I've never deleted my SMS from my friend, and would prefer not to. But it's pretty much the only thing I haven't tried. Does anyone think this might solve the problem eg if there are orphan texts somewhere on the network?
I'm not sure there really is such thing as an orphan text. If a text isn't deliverable, the carrier deletes it from it's system. SMS is quite a robust system.
There is no general incompatibility between iPhones and other phones as far as texting is concerned. I suspect what you may be seeing is a combination of an old phone and/or an issue with one or both of your carriers. Intermittent technical problems are some of the most difficult to solve.
I have vague memories of people saying that a trailing space at the end of the text made a difference when they had similar problems. It was a couple of years ago. (Honestly, this problem doesn't come up that often!). I don't recall if putting in the traling space helped, or removing it helped. It may also just have been magical thinkning.
Best of luck.

Loss of battery life in iOS 4.2 (compared with iOS 3.x)?

Hi,
Similar to another poster here, I found that when I upgraded my (first-generation) iPad from the original iOS 3.x software it came with to iOS 4.2, it really smoked its battery life (like, that percentage in the upper right conner really came down a lot faster). I have installed iOS 4.3.3 today and so far cannot tell if there's any difference. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this loss of battery life in iOS 4.2 or 4.3 compared with the 3.x software?

Hi, thanks, I had tried that, but it's a good tip... I think there is just such a difference though between how the battery life had been with iOS 3.x compared with how it is with iOS 4.x... and also I think many of the posters in this thread had been experiencing similar problems:

Thanks for the tip though, really appreciate it! :-) Best,

How to save battery life for ios 7

How do you save battery life

There is many things to help save battery life on IOS, hear are some battery saving tips I use when with low battery .
Battery saver 1: Turn off Bluetooth , by going to "Settings>Bluetooth" and switching the little "On/Off" toggle.
Battery saver 2: Turn down the screen brightness half way or just below is fine, for at home, but if you use your idevice outside turn it up just below max brightness so you can see the screen, to turn up or down brightness you can navigate to "Settings>Wallpaper and Brightness" and there will be a slider to adjust brightness.Or if you are on IOS 7 you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen and it will bring up "Action Centre" and there will be a little sun icon, next to it will be another brightness slider, to exit "Action Centre" press the home button or just swipe the little down arrow.
Battery saver 3: Volume turn the volume up and down at certain times of day "eg: I turn volume up full or just below in the afternoons because most things are going on in the afternoon that probably make lots of noise, and at night turn it down because your ears have adjusted to quietness and can pickup on quieter sounds".
Battery saver 4: Turn off WIFI when not in use "eg when playing games or just switched off" you can do this by going to "Settings>WIFI" there will be a "On/Off" toggle or via "Action Centre" "IOS 7+".
Battery saver 5: When your not going to be using your device for a while shut it down by holding the "Sleep/Wake" button.
Battery saver 6: Close apps running in the background by double tapping the home button and holding down the running apps then tap the little "-" minus in a red circle to close "IOS 6 and lower", things are a little different with IOS 7 its the same process of double tapping the home button but a different way to execute the apps, you do this by swiping "Up" on the open apps. "Tip: You can swipe 3 at once!".

Awful battery life after latest OTA update

I've owned my Bionic for about 16 months now, and up until recently, have been very pleased. After the initial Jelly Bean update, I was enjoying the best battery life I had ever experienced, up to 20+ hours with moderate use throughout the day. However, the latest over the air update (I remember hearing my phone restart itself after the update in the middle of the night), my battery life has suffered dramatically. At first, I thought the battery was bad, so I ordered a new one, but the problem persisted. I searched online and discovered others were experiencing similar issues after updates. I have tried various solutions, included wiping the cache, deleting apps one at a time to determine a culprit, and eventually even a FDR, but none have helped.
I am almost positive the issue is stemming from "wakelocks" and other things waking my phone up again and again, even with the display off. My battery will drain from 100% to 40% as I sleep at night, even with WIFI and data disabled. The battery stats show Android OS and/or Display (they alternate) as the leaders for my battery usage, usually around 40-50%, which is much higher than it used to be.
I have become increasingly frustrated with this issue, as there seems to be no known solution other than getting a new phone. I find it almost inexplicable that an update could go out that causes such problems. My phone has basically been rendered to a tethered device, as I can't go more than 8-10 hours without recharging. If there are any known solutions, or if I can possibly receive a new Bionic, please let me know.
Thanks.

After the Google logo appears and I try to go to step 5, I get the green
little robot on his back, 'tummy' open with a red triangle and exclamation
mark in it....and it stays there for a long time???
Then the phone reboots....problems stay.
I do not know who you are Kevin but I was at the Verizon store on Friday
and I was told to call customer service as they are not responsible for the
software...it's Samsung's problem!?
I am a +$300 a month client and this is the service I get!
I will close my account, pay whatever it takes and go someplace else if
this doesn't get fixed fast...this did not happen on my request and I'm
stuck with it.

When/how to charge the iPhone for optimal battery life?

I have an iPhone 3G 8GB. I was just wondering what the best way to go about charging the iPhone is, in order to optimise the battery life?
Should you wait until the iPhone is really flat/ low battery and then charge it up full, or are smaller and more frequent 'shallow' charges healthier?
I also heard somewhere that every couple of months or so it is a good idea to let the battery run completely dead and then charge it up, in order to calibrate it or something... but that doing this too often could be detrimental.
Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I should let my iPhone run really low before charging it or if smaller more frequent chargers are the way to go.
Thanks!

Thanks! I did read over that and have taken the steps mentioned and fiddled around with settings of my phone to optimise use. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything else to add about charging habits specifically and what works best... I think mainly I'm just being paranoid about my phone dying prematurely since it's the first time I've owned such an expensive gadget!
Also, can you overcharge it? Is it bad to leave it on the charger overnight? I've done some searching in other threads/ webpages and there seems to be some discrepancies but for the most part people seem to think that it will be fine?

Here's the solution to awful battery life on ios 5.
