HOW IS YOUR IPHONE 4 BATTERY LIFE ?

HEY EVERYBODY , JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET YOUR HANDS ON AN IPHONE 4 , HOW IS YOUR DEVICES BATTERY LIFE? IS ANYONE CHANGING THERE SETTINGS ? JUST TO GET SOME IMPUT FROM OTHER PEOPLE. I GET WITH MEDIUM USAGE , ABOUT CLOSE TO TWO DAYS TILL I HAVE TO CHARGE IT.....
Joey

I've noticed much better battery life with my ip4. After taking it off the charger on July 7 at 4:30 am, right now I'm at 4 hours, 46 minutes of usage and 30 hours of standby time and still have 52% of my battery left.
I don't need push so I leave that off, blue tooth is off until I need it, 3g on all the time, wi-fi on at home, I tend to close out any apps on my multi-tasking bar. Over night I didn't have it on the charger (just want to see how long I can go on a single charge with the new phone) and lost only 3% of the battery which from what I've read on these forums is normal.
I'm very pleasantly surprised by the stellar battey on this phone. I didn't really think I had battery issues with my 3gs either but the difference is quite obvious. With the 3gs, less usage and fewer hours of standy time (by the end of the day-10 pm, for example) had me at 30-40% of battery life left.
I'm quite happy with the new phone

  • Fixing your iPhone 5 Battery Life - Once and for all!

    Greetings  folks - I'll get right into it here:
    1. Let your iphone 5 drain completely out.
    2. BUT, Once it gets on 1% however, you must go into: Settings>General>Rest>Reset All Settings.
    (note: This will not ruin ANY of your personal info the phone. You will loose only a slight amount of settings for apple only apps. As well as your home and lock screen photos will need replacing. All very easy stuff to redo. Again, no worries here.
    3. Charge your iphone for 2 hours or more ( for best results charge overnight)
    Now, my histroy is this:
    New iPhone 5 from factory. Lost 16% on standby overnight. And was continuing to loose battery at an unaceptable rate. Tried reseting DFU Restore with new firmware (as I read in other forums) That did NOT work for me. As of right now I am using all my features my iphone touts. No turning off notifcations for apps or bringing brightness lower. The ONLY thing I have turned off in iCloud is BOTH "Photo Stream" and Documents and Data. As, I do not need these on. I will be trying to turn them on in couple days and see if it makes difference. Oh, and I have check mail to 'Every hour'.
    Please, if you Iphone 5 is suffering from BAD battery, this work around does works, just wish apple would allow for a script to do this for us all.
    Plese give it a try. I was seriously ready to send my phone back until I read about "resetting all settings".
    cheers

    Hey there chris11350,
    It sounds like you are seeing various unexpected issues when using your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article to erase the current iOS installation and install a fresh copy:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can i improve the battery life of my iphone 5s, it drains to fast and i don't know what to do?

    how can i improve the battery life of my iphone 5s, it drains to fast and i don't know what to do?

    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    Take a look at this to make sure your settings are optimized to the best it can be.
    If all else fails, try and restore through iTunes, set up as a new iPhone and manually sync your apps and media back to your iPhone.
    If still persists after this, you might call Applecare and see if they can run a battery diagnogstics..

  • How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

    How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left 50% it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5% i saw 45%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

    I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
    Thank you very much!
    Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
    -Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
    I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
    I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

  • How to fix iPhone 4s battery drain on iOS 5.0.1

                                                           Please Read this entire post for my fix
    FIRST OF ALL I MUST SAY THAT THE BATTERY THE 4S IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!
    I would like to add two steps to this.  I am a pure believer davidch you are unto something.  I did all your steps and i went from 100% to 81% in two and a half hours...I was saying to myself "this mess don't work!" lol....BUT I decided to do a little investigating on my own.
    I looked at my usage meter and realized that the actual USAGE TIME and STANDBY TIME were only 13 mins apart.  However i knew for a fact the phone was sitting on the couch WITH THE SCREEN TURNED OFF next to me for 2 and a half hours.  I may have picked it up once or twice after receiving a text and perhaps sending a text or two but that's it! My approximate REAL usage was around 5-10 mins. 
    Even tho I looked up in the top right corner and did not see the gps symbol, I was still curious.  So i pulled up my multitasking menu (double tap home button) and noticed that after the reset there were multiple apps still available to be selected from.  Not a surprise because we did a settings reset and not a complete content reset.  My whole idea was to selectively remove app by app from the list until i found the culprit that was running in the background causing this fiasco (our fiasco).
    IT WORKED!! I narrowed it down to the camera app. Which happened to be the last one that I eliminated.  Then i started seeing the difference between my usage and standby meter grow larger and better even tho i was checking frequenly (about every 15 mins).  I CLOSED THE CAMERA APP AT 12:30PM TODAY.  At this time my battery has dropped down to 77%.   AT 2:00 MY BATTERY LEVEL IS AT 76% What an improvement!!!!!!!!  But was the camera app the problem??? NO NO NO NO NO
    My guess is after the settings wipe all apps that were running ended up in a crash loop.  Because after that i opened up all the apps that were running previously plus some extras and as of 2:41PM THE IPHONE IS STILL AT 76%.  With approx. 3hrs of usage and over 5hrs of standby now.  With about 20 apps running including the camera app!
    I also did turn off siri raise to speak and did a reboot. Because after turning off RTS the infrared sensor on the front stays enabled until a reboot is executed.  So here are my steps mixed with davidch's that worked for me.
    For anyone new to the thread be sure to go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
    1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
    2 a. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
    2 b. If you do not get the complete new setup screen with language setup and setup as new phone or restore from iTune/iCloud backup, be sure to go back to #1 and reset all settings again (it should happen the second time)
    3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd (settings -> location services -> system services)
    4. Fully discharge battery (until you get the spinning wheel and it shuts off)
    5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
    6. Go to General->Siri....turn raise to speak off
    7. Hold power and home together for a few seconds until the apple logo shows up. (Reboot)
    8. Double tap home button exit all apps running and you should be good to do...
    i didnt reboot after step 8 but maybe you should if you have a sprint or verizon iphone.  2:55 AND I AM STILL AT 76%  I think i am in love all over again!!!!
    Re: iPhone 4s Battery Life?

    I have IPhone 4 and I updated the IOS to version 5. After the update the battery lasts about a day. After the update to 5.0.1 the battery lasts a day and a half. It is an improvement, but not as I expected.
    The next step is to disable configuration options like:
    - downgrade from 3G network to 2G
    - disable Data services
    - disable automatic clock
    - disable location services
    - use the phone only as a phone and nothing else.
    I will come back to tell how much the battery lasts.
    PS: the IPhone 4 is new so there is no problem with the battery itself.

  • How do I fix the battery life for my iPod touch?

    It has a very low battery life. I can only use apps for 1-2 hours. Please help me! Thanks

    See this article for different ways to preserver and extend your iPod's battery life and health.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
    How old is the iPod and are you letting it charge to full capacity each time?  Batteries do wear out over time and lose their ability to maintain a full charge at max capacity. It could just be a sign that the battery is wearing out and in need of replacement.

  • Want to increase iPhone parts battery life

    Hi..Friends i want to increase my iphone parts battery life ..Please share some tips with me...

    Hmm.....
    the phone is solid state.... there's hardly any parts to wear out.
    I guess you avoid pressing the home button?  Carry a bluetooth keyboard?
    the old phone connector can wear out, but I hear the lightning connector is improved.  You do need to charge the phone regularly and you need to have it disconnected when the phone is away from the charger
    avoid water or moisture.  Potentially a problem in humid climates and having the phone in your pocket
    avoid drops or impact that can crack the screen or dent the case?
    perhaps a "bumper" or case to keep away scratches?

  • Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

    Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

    Not to point out the obvious, but battery life depends very much on what is running and how much the device is being used.
    If the battery lasts longer on a day you make no phone calls, but lasts less the day you make 5 hour long calls, this is to be expected.
    If however the iPhone has the same level of use on both days, with different power consumption, this would infer a background process (or App) is trying to do something (connecting to server or creating a back up etc).
    I switched off all thrid party apps from being included in my iCloud backup, which saves a huge amount of space on the cloud and allows the back up to take barely a couple of minutes.
    Battery life seems ok so far on my 64GB 4S (Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, Location Services on, Push notifications on, Screen set to just under half brightness with Auto Adjust on)

  • If i download CAD software how will it affect my battery life and macbook speed?

    If i download CAD software how will it affect my battery life and computer speed?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    CAD software requires the best CPU and GPU performance, so your battery life will be affected while running CAD apps. The same will happen with your computer performance with other apps, so if you do not need any application while using CAD apps, it is better to close them.
    However, your battery life and your computer performance will be the same if they are closed. The only exception would be if your MacBook's hard drive is running out of free space

  • IPhone 6 battery life draining since 8.1 update

    Is anyone else having problems with their iPhone 6 battery life diminishing since the latest 8.1 update? I notice I'm getting much less usage time per hour. For example, before 8.1, it would take about 3 hours of usage time to get to 70%. Now it only takes 2 and it gets worse after that. Here is a screenshot I took of the battery usage before the 8.1 update:
    This is pretty normal usage timings for me (it was taken Monday, October 20th). Now, here is a screenshot from today, after starting out with 100% this morning:
    As you can see, it's quite a huge difference. The weird thing is that messaging seems to take up more battery life than it used to. Yes, I do text quite a bit during the day but the frequency of this has not changed between now and October 20th. It shouldn't be using THAT much battery life. I took it to the Genius Bar yesterday to ask them about this problem and the girl told me that she saw some crashing from the Messages app in Diagnostics Information and she felt that maybe since the update, there was something causing that app to use more battery. So she suggested erasing the phone and restoring from an iCloud backup. I did this yesterday when I got home but, as you can see, the problem is no better (though there are no more crashes listed in the diagnostics information).
    I have no idea what else I can do to fix this and I'm getting really tired of having to charge this twice a day now (I used to have to do this with my iPhone 5, as well). If anyone has had a similar problem, I would appreciate suggestions. And before you ask, I'm doing all of the normal battery saving tricks, like turning off background app refresh, not having it check for mail all the time (it's manual), brightness is down, I turn wifi off when not using it, I don't leave apps open, etc etc etc.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
    Pooja

    I turn off background refresh, mail push/fetch, and I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them. I also minimize which apps use location services. Even when doing all of that though, the battery life became terrible on 8.1. Since updating to 8.1.1 all issues seem to have been fixed so I'm very grateful for that. I recommend anyone on 8.1 who is having issues to upgrade to 8.1.1 immediately.
