HT1476 iPhone dies faster since iOS 6 software update

i currently have two problems. 1. my iphone will only charge while its turned off. 2. my battery dies faster then it used to be after the previous problem happened on October 1st. 3. my speaker/ringer on my phone has stopped working, my sounds will only work while my headphones are plugged in. no sound will come out anywhere. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html 
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.

  • IPad 2  AND iphone 4 battery draining FAST since IOS 6 update!

    I have done EVERYTHING I can think of and that has been suggested all over the World Wide Web to improve the battery life of both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 since the IOS 6 software update. Nothing works!!!! I am leaving town in a week, and I would like my phone to be working the way it did before.
    Still taking suggestions to fix this.
    APPLE please do something. I am losing faith, and I am also losing my desire to buy the new iPhone 5!
    APPLE PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried closing all apps? Double tab the Home button, then tap down on an icon and hold for about 3 seconds, until the icons are moving slightly. Click on the above every App.

  • Song data no longer transferring from iPhone to iTunes since iOS 7 update?

    I recently updated my iPhone with iOS 7 and iTunes to 11.1.  Since I've done this, when I plug my phone into iTunes, iTunes does not register songs that I've recently listened to on my phone has having been played.  The "Last Played" column does not update.  This creates issues with my Smart Playlists, which I have set up to to choose only songs that I have not listened to in the last 5 weeks.  I've tried creating a new Smart Playlist to see if the old ones just weren't working properly anymore, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.  It's the lack of updating in the "Last Played" information for my songs.  Does anyone know of something I can do to try and fix it?  I really like having Smart Playlists that keep me from having to hear too many of the same songs over and over.  Thanks!

  • Problem getting calls since last software update iphone 4s

  • IOS Software Update - No Notification or Automatic Download

    As of today, it has been 11 days since iOS 8.2 has been released and I still have not received an iOS Software Update Notification on my iPhone 6 Plus nor has iOS 8.2 automatically downloaded like it had on my other iOS devices. I knew iOS 8.2 was out, but, I like to wait a bit to install just in case bugs are revealed by early adopters. I had to manually check for the iOS 8.2 Update on my 6 Plus.
    So, I'm curious why I did not receive an iOS Software Update Notification/Automatic Download?  I have noticed previously, on other iOS devices, that the number of days between and an iOS release and the iOS Software Update Notification/Automatic Download is not consistent. I understand that you have to be connected to a power source and on wifi for this feature, which obviously is one variable, but, 11 days??? The 6 plus battery life IS AWESOME, but, not that awesome. I have definitely charged my phone and have been on wifi a couple of times since the iOS 8.2 release.
    Any ideas? Just curious.
    Thank you.

    These are all carrier feature, call your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

  • Flash / flashlight not working since ios 7 update

    I have an iPhone 5. Since I've updated to ios7 I have not been able to get the LED light to work. I've tried photo and video, and I've tried the dedicated 'flashlight' button... nothing.
    Everything looks right on the screen, just no action in the light. I've tried hooking to itunes and syncing, powering down and restarting things and I even got the newest update fix (7.0.2 or whatever)... no dice.
    I took some photos with a flash a few days before I updated, so I'm fairly sure that my hardware isn't damaged.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
    I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
    I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
    After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

  • Why do i have internet problems since ios 7 update? I have an ipad 4th gen.

    Since ios 7 update my internet on my ipad 4 is very slow how can i fix this?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4623 my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings General Software Update

    my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE

    No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
    Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone.

  • Since the software update my photo from LinkedIn now is attached to all of my text messages and I DO NOT WANT THAT.  How do I remove my photo from my test messages?

    Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages?  Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!
    How do I remove my photo from my text messages?  Android RazrM.
    Help!  It is driving me crazy.  Thank you.

    Thanks, but this information was not useful.  First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104)  in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon.  Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
    VERIZON/GOOGLE -  I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult?  Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request?   May be a reason to jump ship to iOS.

  • IPad and iPhone runtime errors after ios 6 update at one site I use

    I use an I pad and iPhone 4S.  Did iOS 6 updates and have no problems.  However today I went to one site, the NGC collectors society ( registery section requiring sign in) that I use and get the following error below.  I have cleared the cookies on my iPad and restarted, but still get the same error. I also made sure java script was on.  The same with the iPhone. So far this is the only problem I have had with the new ios6.  The site works fine with my laptop which is a MacBook Pro that is updated with the latest system software.

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.
