How long does an ipod touch 4 generation battery last?

     Ok, I recieved a refurbished iPod touch 4 gen from Apple after my previous ipod touch 4 gen had problems with the home button not responding. This "new" ipod works great, but recently I've been having problems with the battery... I downloaded the recent update for fixing numerous things with the ipod touch from Apple... And itworks great again... But I'm curious as to WHY my battery is loosing its charge so fast... I'll be playing ANGRY BIRDS SPACE on my ipod for like 20-30 minutes, with the screen brightness lowest that it could go and  on a full charge, then press the home button and the battery is half gone! should I set up a repair with Apple? Or is this normal? I just hate going through the whole process of the repair and then getting an ipod that may not work as good as this one... I do have a lot of memmory on my ipod, its a 32 GB, black, not dropped or scratched, 9.9 Gb is used for: 6 movies, 17 apps, and 67 songs... The apps listed previous DO NOT include the already downloaded apps, such as: Calendar and camara etc... Ohh too i dont have any photos stored on my ipod either. Please respond! Thanks!

Once it is charged fully, its charged.  Nothing further happens leaving it plugged in (although doing so won't hurt it).  Once it is charged, charging stops, completely.
These sorts of conditioning myths are really nothing more than a hold over from previous, older battery technology, and these ideas have been outdated for many years now.  They simply do not apply to modern smart Lithium battery technology.

  • HT1212 Up to how long will my iPod touch 5th generation be disabled with ios7? The screen doesn't say anymore...

    I can't remeber my iPod touch 5th generation's pass code. I know the four numbers included, just not the sequence. It disabled yesterday at 6pm, and it's now 11am and still disabled. Also, when I first got my iPod, my friend synced it with her iTunes, so I can't plug it into mine.
    I have a lot of pictures and songs that I really don't want to lose, by just restoring it, if I can even do that.
    So, my question is either,
    1. Up to how many hours can my iPod be disabled for? (The new iOS won't tell us!) And how long will it disabled after each try??
    2. Is there any way to get the pass code off my iPod touch without losing all my apps, music, pictures, ect.?
    Thank you!!

    If it says "iPad is disabled" it is never going to time out.  At that point, your only option is to restore it in iTunes.
    If you have a backup in place now (in iCloud or iTunes) once restored, you can restore from backup, but the only way to un-disable the device is to restore it.

  • How long does the macbook pro 13 retina battery last

    I just recently got my macbook and was wondering this because i am a bit scared. Apple says their battery lasts around 9 hours, what does that mean? If just doing simple work like pages and other programs a like, my battery will last up to 9 or 10 hours but that is when my brightness is less than 60%, it lasts maybe 8 hours at full. However, when I'm doing searches on safari like going on websites and youtube, my battery only lasts about 6.5 hours at 40% brightness, for some reason if i am on netflix it will last longer, maybe for about 7.5 hours 40% brightness. I personally would be happy with 6+ hours and keeping it at a low brightness but if I'm supposed to get more battery than why not?! P.S. When i go on activity monitor it says that none of the applications are using more than 5% (except activity monitor).

    Hey samraymond,
    Welcome to the Apple family, I’m glad to hear that you have purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Our marketing pages state that the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display can last up to 9 hours. However, please keep in mind that battery life will definitely vary by use and configuration. Our technical specifications page provides more information on the testing that was conducted to determine battery life:
    Apple - MacBook Pro with Retina display - Technical Specifications
    http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    Testing conducted by Apple in July 2014 using preproduction 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, preproduction 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, and preproduction 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.

  • Why does my IPod touch 5th generation battery drain quickly? Is this a defect?

    My battery seems to drain in about 3 hrs or less when I play a game, listen to music, etc( when it's fully charged too) and I'm not even using the Internet . Please help me, if this is a defect then I'll return it to apple and get another one.

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use an Apple wall-mount charger and charge overnight.  Do NOT use a computer USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  I don't play games but I expect that you'll get six to eight hours.  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

    - 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.

    Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

  • Does the iPod Touch (4th generation) have vibration?

    Hi folks,
    according to iFixit ( http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPod-Touch-4th-Generation-Teardown/3562/1 )
    the iPod Touch does not have a vibration feature but I did some research.
    As you can see in that article ( http://www.macrumors.com/2010/09/06/new-ipod-touch-adds-vibration/ ) the vibration motor is situated next to Apple's A4 chip and if you have a look at the pictures published by iFixit ( Step 20 ) you'll see the same thing you saw on Macrumors.

    Hello germaniPod,
    Does the new iPod Touch have a vibration motor?
    No. As mentioned in this article, what was mistaken as the vibrator motor was actually the microphone.

  • My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)

    Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!
