How to fix iPhone 5 battery rattle inside

For those who have a battery rattle iPhone 5, you can try to fix this problem by running the vibrator for a few minutes. There 2 ways to do this, download and run free vibrator app in AppStore or turn your iPhone 5 in vibration mode and use another phone to call your iPhone 5. While the vibrator motor is running, leave your iPhone 5 on surface (table top). This will help the battery vibrates and sticks to the adhesive on the housing.
I accidentally fixed my iPhone 5 that way. If the above way doesn't fix then bring the phone to Apple store. Good luck and let us know if it help.

Noise Problem cured !!!
My iPhone 5 made a rattling noise when shaken after it had "a few falls"
I read in one of the forums that it was the battery coming away from the adhesive.
I checked iFixit teardown of the iPhone 5 and noted the very large battery which occupies two thirds of the screen space from left to right (starting from above the headphone jack side).
I'm not surprised that if it comes loose that it is the cause of the clunking rattle.
One of the forums contributors suggested gradually pressing all the area of the phone on the outside that overlies the battery inside pressing hard between front and back over all of the screen area from left to right that fronts the battery inside. In this way one pushes the battery back on to the adhesive !!
It works perfectly - Problem cured !! - J B Walsh

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.

I have recently brought an iphone 4s and the battery is draining even without much use. please advice if any one is able to fix it with some patches or updates iOS 5.0.1
I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s. Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc. Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse). You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery. For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order. It does fix the problem in most cases.
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. 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). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (till it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now... not all, but most. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!

How to fix iPhone 5's crapy battery drain problem

It's not that bad bro. Just turn LTE off when not needed. Turn notifications, push, spotlight search, wifi, etc off if you don't feel the need of them. The big drain is from LTE so I guess if you turn it off the battery wont drain that fast.

Shut down whatever app is constantly running in the background.
Do basic troubleshooting of reset, restart, restore.
IF restored as new and the overheating and short battery life continue with ONLY the default apps installed, take it back to Apple as a hardware issue exists.

How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..Please help me

How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..i have tried So many ways and aloso tryed with 3rd party software but nothing happens...i trying with iTunes but error 14 message appare..i am from bd that's why in my country doesn't have any apple service center

Error 14 is typically a hardware failure, but can be caused by security software...anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Given what you've posted, I suspect a hardware failure, & if that's the case, you won't be able to restore the phone. You'll need to find a service center to confirm.
