How to fix iphone4s battery bugs, how to fix iphone4s battery bugs

now my battery is 65 but after i power off n open it agn i found that the battery life became 70....

Hi Diesel
see, the problem simply is, that I have two phones here, a 4S and a 5S, which both worked perfectly, including using SIRI, for about 2 years, and one bad day in January from one day to the other lost energy really fast... i am talking about from holding out for 2 days to dropping to holding for 6 hours.
It took me 3 months, 3 phones (the 4S and two new 5S's), 4 apppointments in the Apple store, and about 250 $ altogether (not counting the hidden cost of a prolonged Cellular contract which pays the 800$ 5S over the next 24 months) to find out what the problem was, and now i have two phones here, with SIRI turned off, which miraculously hold their power again for 2 days instead of half a day. and the only thing I did was turning SIRI off.
I hate to say it, since I actually liked to use it, and I don't see it as a solution, but believe me, I WENT THROUGH ALL the processes you call 'best troubleshooting' BEFORE i switched SIRI off, and I post this here for the people who want to know what to do, if all the 'best troubleshooting' does not help, or the ones who decide they want to short-cut the days of clean installing and switching off apps etc...
Ah - and I am aware, that may be SIRI is not the only source of the problem, may be it only reacts that way in combination with something else, eg.  a t-mobile contract or what ever...
but reading through the threads in this community, you must admit, that there are as well 'millions of people' who keep having a problem after trying the standards...
that is why I wrote "...in MY case....." in my first post.
cheers

  • My iphone4 will turn off at 47% battery and when i attempt to turn it back on it says dead, until it is placed in the charger and it says 47% again, what does this mean and how can i fix it?

    Hey I just got an iphone 4 and everytime it gets to around 47% battery it dies, when I try to turn it on it says the battery is dead, when i place it in the charger it says 47% then continues to charge, could this be over heating or a bug? What is it and how do I fix it?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
        Play sound effects through:
       Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

  • Fixed my iphone4s battery problem, how about you?

    so I too ran into the now infamous iphone 4s, heah my phone is dead, in 4 hours problem.
    tried a bunch of random garbage, turn all the cool stuff off, nope.
    so I downloaded an activity monitor (not sure it matters which one, but one that shows CPU usage).
    wow my brand new iphone 4s was using 70% to 80% of the CPU solid, no dropping down at all.  no wonder the battery is going so fast.
    starting turning things off check monitor, turn back on, check monitor.
    Meanwhile I have an ICloud account, but storage and backup has always been off and never turned on.
    so I thought hey ICloud is off right?  wrong!
    With iCloud off I went to a setting called documents and data (settings->icloud->documents and data->documents & data) and turned it
    off (keep in mind everything else is on, GPS, push notifications, siri, the works).
    and what do you know CPU went from 80% to 1%.  battery went from 4 hours to now all day, using the phone, playing games, talking on the phone
    and after all day its still nearly full green.  Im thinking I can go two days without a charge now unless I talk on it more.
    so your mileage may vary, so if the documents and data doesnt work for you it will still be a good idea to get a monitor otherwise
    your wasting your time turning things on and off without knowing if its doing any good.
    end result, everything is on, one thing (well two, icloud and documents and data) off, problem solved.
    another point, is after messing with this its clearly a software problem and not a hardware problem.
    good luck to everyone and hope this helps.

    When you turned off the setting for Documents and Data did you get a warning that all docs and data would be deleted from your phone, and if so what was actually deleted?

  • I turned my iphone4 off and now it won't restart, how do i fix this?

    I turned my iphone4 off because it had no service and it wouldn't get service, so i turned it off and tried to restart it and it will not quit blinking the apple logo homescreen and it won't go away, how do i fix this?

    Are you able to do the reset I described while the device is connected to the charger? If so, does it start? What happens then after you remove it from the charger, does the device power off? If so, then you need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and have the hardware checked. It sounds as if the battery is failing.

  • How to "Fix" the 50% dreaded bug issue on almost all  android devices.

    I made a post about LG Ally having this issue a few days ago and I've done heavy research on this issue since then and found that pretty much all 2.1 devices have this issue. Yes google is aware of it and I've seen topics where verizon and htc said that they were aware of it too and all 3 companies are working to fix it and push an update. I tested a "fix" to this issue and it seems to work. I don't know if it's permanent but so far my Ally is not showing this issue so let's get to fixing. 
    Here's the link to my LG Ally topic it has another fix there too:
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Android-Devices/Why-your-LG-Ally-has-horrible-battery-life/td-p/210036
    How to find out if your android device has this:
    --Go to [Settings>About Phone>Battery Use>Cell Standby (if you don't have cell standby in there than you don't have this issue, but if you do doesn't mean you have it, keep reading)>if your time without service is above 50% than you have the bug.]
    The fix that I've been testing:
    --Open dial pad and dial *#*#4636#*#* (If Testing menu doesn't come up than click "Call" and it will come up)>Go to Phone information>Scroll down and you'll see preferred network type>click it and switch it to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
    Now your issues should start going away and the time without service will slowly start decreasing. For the first few hours my time without service stayed at about 11% but than dropped to 0% in 24 hours.... You might need to do that step a few times before your phone makes that option a default one. Your phone might try to change preferred network type so check it every 2-3 hours on the first day.

    Which method.  I would imagine the airplane mode is a temporary fix.  Something about it resets the radio apparently.  With the *#*#4636#*#* method you need to keep checking it.  I have 2 issues with it though.  First it does take several attempts before the change sticks.  Second since there appears to be no GSM radio I can't see why this is an advantage at all. 
    I have searched and searched for anything that would explain why this is there and why I can select it on my Incredible but not on my Dad's Moto DROID.  Is it possible that the Incredible does have a GSM radio?  I can't select a band it force closes on me so I have to assume it doesn't however if you change it to CDMA/GSM AUTO and ping it apparently it does seem to find GSM signals.  That is intriguing and a little disturbing.  Intriguing because if it is there and inactive then there is a way to activate it and in theory you could use the phone on any network.  Disturbing because there is no mention of it anywhere and no way to choose a band.  That disturbs me as well because the choosing the band thing, which I could do on my dad's Moto Droid had options for Wimax, several versions of CDMA and all the current itterations of GSM including the new TMobile signal.  How cool would it be if you could unlock GSM on this phone and use it on literally any network.  I guess it doesn't matter the main advantage we have is the network but if the phone is completely unlockable it makes it that much more valuable. 

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

    My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

    Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

  • Any ideas on how to fix ipad after the new iOS 7 update? My battery will not charge, my ipad is hot to the touch, the iTunes Store won't open, and my messages on Facebook aren't showing up when I chat and pintrest won't pin to my boards.

    Any ideas on how to fix ipad after the new iOS 7 update? My battery will not charge, my ipad is hot to the touch, the iTunes Store won't open, and my messages on Facebook aren't showing up when I chat and pintrest won't pin to my boards.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

    Have you tried doing turning the battery level display off and then General -> "Reset all settings"? You won't loose any data and that should do the trick.

    My iphone 4 started displaying a message box with the following message: "This accessory is not optimized for this phone. You may experience noise and loss of battery."  My question is: Why is this happening and how do I fix it? (I'm losing battery power precipitously). Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question.

    Thanks Kilted Tim, you solved the problem. I'm mightily impressed at the simplicity of the solution!

  • HT1688 I updated my iPhone 5C to the iOS 7.0.1 "bug fixes" update and it has made my phone glitch constantly and has just made it a complete nightmare. How can I go back down to iOS 7?

    basically yeah, I updated my software because it said that iOS 7.0.1 was out as a bug fixes update and now my phone constantly glitches the **** out, its super slow, and it pretty much created more bugs than it did fix them. So how can I go back to iOS 7? because 7.0.1 is an absolute nightmare.

    Try updating to iOS 7.0.2.
    Does your iPhone still have performance issues? Have you tried the basics?

  • I loaded ios7.1 to my Ipad2 and my wife's cell phone came up.  I can't change it and now I get her text messages on my iphone4S and she is getting apps I download on her iphone 4S.  How do we fix it?

    I recently downloaded ios7.1 to my ipad and my wife's cell phone # appeared on my ipad.  It would not let us change it.  Now I am getting her text messages and she is getting the apps I load on her iphone4S.  We both have iphone 4S, but she has version 7.1 and I still have 6.0 because I didn't like the changes in v.7.0.  We share an Apple ID and password which was not a problem before.  My daughter says this is our problem, as she had her husband had this issue.  She doesn't know how he fixed it.  Has anyone else had this issue and can you tell us how to separate our Apple ID/passwords if this is, indeed, the problem?

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • Updated my 3gs to 5.0.1 and my battery life has gone from 1.5 days   to less than half a day with no Apps open - how can I roll this back to 5.0 until a fix comes out?

    Since updating my 3GS to 5.0.1 my iphone battery has gone, overnight, from 1.5 days + (with multiple open Apps) to less than half a day to completely discharge from 100%.
    I desperately need to roll this install back to 5.0 but there are no resources on the internet (or this site) which indicate how I would do that.
    Please help.
    J

    You cannot and should not go back to 5.0.
    A fix is coming soon
