HT1476 apple 5 phone, battery life decreased within one year of purchase,only half day or little more it works

Apple I phone 5 , battery life decreased within one year of purchase, it works for half day, charger is also giving some trouble as oly doing some hit and trial ,it starts charging,

I had similar issues with my iPhone 5. For the four or five most recent charging cycles it went from 100% down to around 30% normally with good standby and usage times. Then, start a call or open an app and bingo, it then would show 4% or 7%, sometimes giving me the 10% warning, other times not.
So yesterday I took it to Genius Bar; they tested it and  immediately said it was a bad battery...replaced for free since I'm a  month away from end of warranty.

    I have iphone 5; my battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2.  How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

    Downgrading the iOS isn't supported and wouldn't help even if you could.   There have been reports of decreased battery life after every update since iOS 1.0.1. 
    There are lots of things that can be done including reinstalling push email accounts. basic phone reset (pressing both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears), and restoring the phone with and without a backup.

  • After software/firmware UD, battery life decreased significantly+overheating problems

    Specs of my laptop:
    13 inch late 2011
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    4gb 1333 MHz DDR3
    Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Hi, a month or two ago I did a software/firmware update (the thing that automatically pops up once in a while and asks if you want to update). Before the update, I was getting 7-8 hours running safari on a bright level (more than half) which was awesome!
    Anyways, after I did the update, my battery life decreased significantly. If my brightness was at half, I got around 2.5 hours MAX. If I ran word and safari it wouldn't even last two hours.
    Along with the horrible decrease in battery life, my laptop now gets really hot, really quickly, even if I'm only running safari on a low brightness. Sometimes the fan vibrates becuase it's working so hard...it's NEVER done that before.
    I took it into the Apple store 'genius' bar, since I still have the warranty and the person that helped me offered no resolution. He told me that my battery still has life and didn't know why my laptop did this, laughed...and then dismissed me (rude). haha
    system report of the battery:
    Firmware Version:          201
      Hardware Revision:          000a
      Cell Revision:          158
      Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          5281
      Fully Charged:          Yes
      Charging:          No

      Condition:          Normal
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          0
      Voltage (mV):          12457
    I'm not sure what any of this means, but the 'genius' told me my battery still had a lot of life.
    I just want the battery life back.
    Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it?
    Thank you

    Hi, thanks for your advice. I just tried resetting and it worked momentarily (battery life improved, fan stopped making so much noise) UNTIL I put my computer to sleep and opened it again... when i first reset, battery life said 5:48. The fan was fine until I put it to sleep (closed the lid and opened five minutes later). Now it's heating up again and the fan is going crazy (making that buzzing noise), battery life is at 2:40 on same display brightness (half). I only have safari open....
    Is there anything else I can try to do? Not sure why this happens after I put it to sleep. I don't want to have to reset my computer every single time I open it.
    thanks
    EDIT: after posting this, not even five minutes later my battery time dropped to 2:07 and is funneling down as I type.

    I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

    All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
    What are the pros and cons of
    1) choosing to use the SAME
                                                  Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
                                                  purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
    2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
    P.S.
    I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
    Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
    Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

    Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery.  But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
    ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

    iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

    Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
    I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
    sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

  • Battery life decreasing

    Hi
    I have a 1st gen phone and all of a sudden now I am only getting a day out of my battery... I would typically make 1 1-2mins call a day and send a few messages... I don't use it as an ipod... it hardly gets used but now all of a sudden my battery life is non existent..
    anyone else experiencing anything sim?
    scott.

    these links may help:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    additionally (might be mentioned on one of those links), you may occasionally want to "calibrate" the battery so it knows where full and empty are. basically charge it to full, then let it run down ALL the way (until it shuts itself off). then charge it again to full.
    a reboot once in a while wouldnt hurt either (holding home and sleep/wake, ignore the "slide to turn off", release when you see apple logo), as the biggest culprit, as described in these discussions, of battery drainage is the mail app. it will sometimes get caught in a loop where it is constanly checking for mail, hence draining your battery.

  • Why is my mac's battery life decreased and got slower after upgrading to lion?

    Thank you for helping,
    I am using MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) and beginning of this summer I upgraded it from snow leopard to lion (from apple store). After installation my mac got slower,it consumes the battery very rapidly and starting time increased. I searched the reason on the net and this time I did a clean installation. I but the problem insisted. last week i updated to 10.7.5. this time i see that coloured spinning wheel even i logging in. I did all the updates and battery calibration as mentioned in apple support communities but nothing have changed. I don't use any grafic programs etc. I only use safari, firefox, iphoto, iwork and microsoft office for mac. My english and my computer knowledge is not very good. So, if you answer my problem please will you explain as much as simple.
    Thanks anyway.

    A couple of things...
    ...first, you might want to make certain that your internal drive is selected as the Startup Disk under System Preferences. If it's not, this can sometimes lead to a problem of your MBP 'searching' for a boot drive at startup. Second, you might want to read ds store's article - Why is my computer slow? A very handy reference guide with some good tips.
    As to your decrease in battery life - that has been reported by some users as a problem with both Lion and Mountain Lion. See the "More Like This" to the right of this page.
    Can't offer any real solutions - read Mr. store's article and see if you can find anything that helps. You might also want to download the free "Battery Health" from the App Store and keep an eye on your battery when you're using it.

  • Battery life after disabling one of the cores

    After installing the CHUD tool from the installation DVD #1 I tried disabling one of the cores to see if I can increase the battery life, but it seems as soon as I disable one core the frequency jumps to 1.83 GHz and constantly stays at the maximum. So it seems the battery time drops by ~30 min compared to using dual core when at idle. Since this is the battery life during idle, there may be a benefit if one constantly maxes out the frequency in dual core mode when running on battery. I don't max out the CPU frequency most of the time so disabling a core may actually decrease my battery life. Only if I can keep 1.5GHz or below with single core use...

    i was also playing around with turning on and off the second CPU after installing CHUD .. i was quite surprised that my battery time is ~30min to ~1hr less when only one CPU is on .. this is completly the oppisite of what i thought would happen. just thought it was kinda interesting.

  • New Mid-2013 macbook air BATTERY LIFE decreasing fast?

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Macbook Air 13" 256GB , 4GB RAM. I'm worried about my battery life. With only 2 hours of just surfing the net and on 50% brightness, my battery life dropped to 60%. So every 30 minutes, it drops by 10%. I also found that my computer usage is 95% idle so how can my battery life waste so quickly??
    my battery health is 100%. Is that even normal for a Macbook Air that is only 5 days old?
    Thank you!

  • Battery Life Decrease In Windows 7

    I've recently installed Windows 7 Professional.  And I have to say the overall experience is great so far.  No issues installing it on my X200.  All the drivers work, and all my previous software does too.
    However, I've run into something I didn't really expect.  The battery life on my notebook now has decreased quite a bit.  Usually on Maximum battery profile, my computer only drains out anywhere from 8 to 12 watts.  But now, it can hit up to easily 20W sometimes more on occasions while in maximum battery mode.  And, it usually stays around 13 to 18 when not doing anything.  This really isn't good.  That's about an hour worth of battery life for me gone.  It's not really a massively HUGE issue but keeping the wattage low as possible is always a big plus in the mobile world.  
    Any tips or maybe software updates that would fix this, would be greatly appreciated.
    Another note: Intel Turbo Memory, only ReadyDrive really works if you have more then 2GB.  Having ReadyBoost on slowed down shutting down, and sleeping greatly.  Once I turned it off, it made things a lot faster.  ReadyDrive seems to be okay.  I don't really notice a difference but it isn't doing anything bad so I'll keep it on for now.

    Hi,
    9 hours was simply possible with lowest/nearly lowest display brightness setting, energy star power mode enabled, battery stretch activated and re-activated wireless adapter... without wireless adapter activated I could work for almost 10 hours
    using the following T500 configuration: 9 cell battery, SSD hard drive, switched to integrated graphics, WSXGA+ resolution, no USB device plugged in, battery strech enabled (optical drive disabled, audio muted, display settings changed, but wireless LAN enabled)
    That's the reason I'm still not really satisfied with Windows 7's power consumption...
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • Apple Bluetooth battery life

    I'm curious if I am getting average battery life from my headset. I left the house the morning at 8:00am with the iphone and headset fully charged. The headset was paired and on until I returned home at 6:00pm. During this time I had two phone calls that totaled about 30 minutes. When I plugged in the headset to charge it showed the battery level at red. Is 30 minutes the average for the headset before it needs charging again? Thanks for you help !!

    Most of the time it will appear red, but check it again after a minute or two and it will be more accurate. It must take a little time to properly gauge the battery in the headset.
    You should get a lot more than 1 day of use as you describe. Mine goes to 2.5 to 3 days used like that.
