Here we go again. 5.0.1 has terrible battery life AND loses 3G connection now!

I have another friend with the same issue, battery life is horrible still, dropping 10% in minutes. The phone also loses 3G connection, which I'm guessing is the problem because the radio is working overtime to reconnect.
What the **** is going on.

It's a conspiracy against you

  • Re: HTC Rezound update has shortened battery life and causing device to run hot anyone having issues?

    budone pointed me in the right direction but I think tidbits pushed him off with apps and clearing cache. Battery app definitely showed me what the issue was.
    Battery monitor and phone built in monitor shows phone call usage above 25%. I don't use my phone for hours a day (320 minutes / 4 = 80 minutes talk time). So why is my phone polling Verizon towers so often? Issue also prevented phone from sleeping correctly. So, SIM/firmware conflict. The update pushed a radio setting in the phone to a CDMA + LTE/EvDO auto which was to correct the SIM/reboot issue.
    Thread detailing boot loop issue and fix, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php
    My phone was already set to a correct radio setting prior to the update. When the update was pushed I had my phone in 3G/CMDA to maintain the battery. This update forced a setting and restarted phone and caused a SIM/firmware conflict. Now my phone will go into a boot loop when it drains below 20% and in CDMA(3G). 4G LTE it will run fine. Why? Still attempting to isolate that. I don't think I can unless I have developer access and root the phone. I will not be doing this knowing that there is a manufacturer/carrier defect on my device and they are on the chain for it's repair at the moment. Software, phones firmware agree that it is a CDMA + LTE/EvDO device but SIM has to be removed, phone booted without, TURN OFF, reseat SIM and power on to fix boot loop after charging for a while every day so far. Verizon why am I troubleshooting an issue that your techs should have figured out before pushing a manufacture update? I am paying for Verizon service because it's better than Sprint and AT&T but not cheaper in my area! Where is the Verizon rep with assistance?

    Could be something with the new verizon location service that was introduced with the update.  So far, I haven't heard exactly what it does, but if it is polling the towers for your location, that could be the issue.  Personally, I haven't had any problems since the update, if it wasn't for the extra signal bar, I probably wouldn't even notice.  However, the battery over heating is a common problem with the Rezound and, from what I hear, Verizon is being pretty good about replacing batteries for anyone having an issue.

  • Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

    I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
    Has anybody else seen this problem?
    Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

    Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
    My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
    Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
    Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
    So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.

  • IPod Touch 5th gen suddenly has terrible battery life after updating to ios 8.0.2!

    I updated to ios 8.0.2 around 2 weeks ago and bam! the next day I wake up and use my ipod (I usually leave it on during the night, and battery is still good) and it's down to 50%, then to 20% later! And now the battery is terrible! it goes down much faster than before! I have bluetooth and all the battery killer stuff off before, so my battery was really good...and now it's horrible!
    Have you guys experienced this? Any solutions? Is this some bug?

    That means you really did not restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What makes you so sure it isn't software?
    The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
    If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

  • I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks.

    I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks. It has become unusable. Is there  a software update to fix this issue?
    I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card - I am not even being asked to put in the sim pin to unlock the sim
    I have reset the network settings and reconnected to my wireless network. I can get onto the wireless network but the ipad does not connect to my carrier even though my mobile phone (same carrier) has great service.
    It seems to me that due to the connecton issue the ipad then restarts itself so I cant even use it for the local apps that do not require any connection to run because every few minutes the unit reboots.
    heading to an istore tomorrow to have it looked at but wondered if there is a software upate or setting I can change myself to fix this isse.
    not happy after the cost of the unit and ony had a few days use before the issues started!

    Thanks Alan,
    in the end it was replaced at the Apple iStore, they restored factory settings and it was still playing up for them too. Weird but the replacement is working perfectly!!

  • My Iphone 4 was charged all night but is saying it has no battery life

    Ok this has happened many many times. I will have my phone plugged in to charge all night and when I wake up it says it has no battery. If I unplug it from the charger eventually it turns off and turns back on, that is in the past, and when it did, it would say the battery was fully charged. However, today it will not turn off. I have held down the home button and the button on top, held down the button on top, and unplugged it for over an hour so it would completely die. But nothing is helping. What causes my phone to do this? It is so frustrating. Please HELP ME!

    You need to call your service provider, and ask them if your SIM card is activated.
