HT201401 My iPhone 4S with iOS 6 is draining battery in large chunks and after full charge drops to 1% within 15 mins why

I am so frustrated right now as I have to have my iPhone constantly on charge. After full charge it can drop from 100% to 1% in 15 minutes even when not it use. It often die whilst displaying 35% and will only come back on after charging which shows it in red zone empty needing charge. The red battery pic can remain for over an hour before it regains any life!
Any suggestions done all the usual
Reset
Removed email accounts
Killed off open apps
Turned off battery draining things like Siri etc
Phone is 1 year old
Help as I can't afford a new one and need this for business too

My observation are:
Pros:
4. Notificaion now use any address while position is used, not only address book.
5. Great DND mode with auto swithcing.
6. MUCH more faster Safari work.
7. Great and funny way to reload messages in mailbox.
8. Separate footer for each mailbox -GREAT!
Cons:
1. WiFi - works as it was.
2. Apple map. I think it's good that google went out. Apple will develope own service and it will be better. For the moment I found Apple map less usefull, but it knows the way between Russia and Finland when Google doesn't.
3. No overheat observed... Today I was thinking that iPhone became hot, but it was on sunsine...
4. As it was 100% at evening - 100% at morning so it is now the same. While usage also the same.
5. Yes, I'm also don't know what is this for..
6. So what? I don't care.
7. Appstore became MUCH better!

When the iPhone 4 with IOS 5 is connected by cable to iTunes and check for update results in Error 1630, plz help me to update plz

My Iphone 4 crashed yesterday after a restart and upload of OS 5.0, it will only partially sync. It's not transferring any of my music or ringtones. They still appear when I click open the sync screens on ITunes, but I don't seem to have an Ipod function and only one of my personalized ringtones transfers on the actual phone.

My iPhone 4 with iOS 5, is stuck in the Facebook app and not able to do any operation.. Im not even able to go to Home.

Hold the Lock & Home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until the phone restarts and you see the Apple logo. You will not lose any data.

Try this article if you haven't already
This is the only possibility that came to my mind when reading about your issue:
"If an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is not recognized in iTunes on Windows, the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) may need to be restarted"

I have an ipod nano 5th generation. the problem with it's that it doesn't show in itunes when connected to the laptop and it switches on on its own and songs start playing the battery gets consumed too fast after full charge. what is the actual problem?

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

IPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 Battery Drains FAST!

My iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 the battery drains tremendously fast! This morning it was 100% charged then just by surfing facebook and flipboard with 3G, it became 7% in the noon. I hope Apple can solve this problem! I'm very upset right now

I've pretty much proved to myself that this is a bug in 7.0.2. Since my post a few days ago I have:
Done a full restore of my iPhone with 7.0.2 - problem still persisted - draining battery at approx 23%/hour with no use, and with all the battery saving tips applied (no push notifications, no background updating etc).
Restored iPhone with 7.0 - battery drain dropped to approx 5%/hour with no use and battery saving tips applied. With push notifications & background updating turned back on, battery drain increased to approx 12%/hour which is high, but still significantly better than 7.0.2.
I would recomend everyone who is having this problem with 7.0.2 to lodge a bug report with Apple - www.apple.com/feedback - hopefully if enough of us lodge the bug report, Apple will listen and release an update.
As for downgrading, unfortunately we cannot downgrade to 6.x anymore, but you can downgrade to 7.0. It is a matter of downloading the appropriate firmware. Firmware's are available here - http://www.icj.me/ios - although that site lists 6.x, they will no longer work, so get the 7.0. That site redirects you to Apple's server for the appropriate ROM, so they are legitimate. Before you install it, you have to turn "Find My iPhone" off by going to Settings | Privacy | Location Services | Find iPhone. The installation seems to turn it back on when done, but you should probably check. Once the firmware has downloaded, you can install it on your device by going to iTunes, and holding down the option key while clicking Restore. This is on Mac - on Windows I assume you would press Alt (but if that doesn't work, try Ctl or Shift). If you have pressed the right button on your keyboard, a file browser window will appear, allowing you to choose the firmware that you just downloaded.
Once installation is complete, iTunes will tell you that there is an update available for your iPhone, just click "Later" everytime the warning appears.

IPhone 5S with iOS 8.0.2 battery draining rapidly

I have an iPhone 5S with 8.0.2 recently installed on it. Normally, I can go a whole day and have the battery around 50 - 60% when I put it back to charge it at night. However, lately, the battery has been draining so fast that it doesn't last an entire day anymore. My usage has not changed. If I look up the battery drainage for the last 4 hours, the major players are Mail (28%), Home & Lock Screen (17%), and Facebook (13%). For the last 4 days, it has been Mail (41%), Home & Lock Screen (15%), and Safari and Facebook (11% each).
I had this problem with iOS 7.1.2, and I took it in to the Apple store and was instructed to delete and install Facebook again. I did this, and it didn't help. I then restored the phone and re-installed the back up. That worked until about a week after I installed iOS 8. I tried upgrading to 8.0.2, and the drain was faster if it changed at all. I tried restoring from the backup again, and this time it didn't help. My last option would be to restore as a new phone, but I'd like to avoid this if possible. It would take more time than I really want to spend on it.
My background refresh apps are limited to just a few. I also have the Mail program set not to notify me unless I get a message from a certain account or a VIP. I also limit what can use location services. Also, since mail was consuming the battery, I tried to decrease the frequency of retrieval, and even changed it to manual. Neither option helped the battery life.
I wonder if something is wrong in the OS that is causing this. Does anyone have an idea?

Hey David Ancell,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. You have already taken all of the most applicable steps: optimizing your settings, viewing which apps are using energy, and configuring your notifications. Because restoring the back up of your iPhone may restore the culprit causing these symptoms, restoring as new is your best option for isolation purposes:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.

After updating my iphone 4 with iOS 6, I lost all my pictures, contacts, and music. How do I get this all back if I don't have the icloud?

My friend updated her iphone 4g with the iOS6 and lost all of her photos, contacts, messages, and music. She doesn't believe she had the icloud set up because after they restored her phone they asked for a new apple-id. Any suggestions on how to get all of her stuff back, she has a newborn and all of her pictures of him are gone!

I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

Update my 4 to iOS 7 this afternoon, battery died in 4 hrs from full charge

after updating the ios, updating all the apps, all while plugged in i made sure all my apps were closed and went to dinner, the battery was at 100% . at dinner and while waiting for the table i did a couple facebook posts replies, looked up one search on safari and checked my email once and once only. i noticed the battery was draining realy fast so i put it away until i got home at which point it was down to 17%. by the time i got the dogs out to walk and came back 15 mins tops it was at 11% and i didnt even have it in hand.
before the update this battery lasted ALL DAY with more activity including phone calls!!!!!
WHAT's up with this Apple? this has got to get fixed, its unacceptable that this iOS was put out there with such deplorable battery consumption (no, this is not the omly place you will see concerns about battery life with iOS 7)
i say fix it or give your customers a rollback option.

i'll try this. Thanks.
do you recommend those battery Dr. Apps? do they even work?
- this is the thing, i dont do anything crazy; standard stuff like checking emails, responding to txt's; phone calls that last no more than 5-6mins tops. But i've noticed that i used to be able to run all day without issues, and recently (i'd say about a month) i'll use it for 20mins and and i'll see it go from 100% to 65% in a flash... it messes me up for the rest of the day.
even today for example... i saw this reply on my phone and i was at 36%. by the time i read the post, did all the recommended things in the article; the phone died. and that took no more than 10mins to do all that. so i'm stumpped.
never had this problem before, then poof.... and i have 4 iphones; (iphone 5, iphone 4s and 2 iphone 4's) iphone 5 and 4s are on ios7 and have this same problem; the 4's are still on ios 6 and are running like well oiled machines. i hope this works.
any other suggestions, send them my way. and i'll keep you posted on my end.
thanks for the help.

My iPhone 4 is only 14 months old over dropped very well looke after, one day the lock button stops then the volume buttons, now the headphone port does not work and the battery lasts about 4 hours after full charge I still have a year left on my contract

My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!

Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.

How to I get itunes radio on my iphone four with ios 7

How to I get itunes radio on my iphone four with ios 7

So I was having the same issue and through guess and check I think I figured out the problem.
Essentially iTunes Radio is only available in the US, hence your phone needs to know you're within the borders of the USA.
I went into Settings > Privacy> Location Services > System Services (at bottom of the screen) and started playing around with some location systems I had turned off to preserve battery life. As soon as I turned on the "Setting time zone" function, iTunes Radio became available again.
It looks like Apple uses that system service to determine location of the phone and thus the availability of iTunes Radio.
You may have to close out the Radio app and restart (or even restart your phone) to make it work but so far so good for me.
Good luck!

Audibook files can be found and played on the iphone only with spotlight. Help me get them to show and play.

I download audiobooks to Overdrive console, then all parts are transfered to iphone 4s with IOS 7.1. Files can be found and played on phone only with spotlight. This is a difficult procedure for my wife. Help me to show and play audiobooks downloaded from library using Overdrive. Tried Sync and beboot several timnes.
Thanks in advance

I used it once for audiobooks with a phone that had iOS 6, and the audiobook was transferred into the music app.
I think the audiobook in question was in the WMA format, though, and was converted to MP3 in iTunes and then transferred to my phone, now that I think about it a bit more.
There is a program/app for the computer that can play liason between phone and computer, rather than just using the app on the iPhone. That could be contributing to the issue here.

Voice quality problems on iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon.I

I have a brand new iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon. Everything works great except when on talk on the phone the normal way. When I do that, people tell me they can hardly hear me. But, when I put them on the speaker phone, they can hear me very well. Also, Voice Memos, and SIri all work just fine. It is only when I talk on the phone the normal way (without the speakerphone on) that the voice quality I am transmitting is very low. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much.

Apple helped me solve this problem. They gave me a brand new iPhone 5s. The were just great in their support. It appears that my first iPhone 5s had a faulty "audio chip." This is the chip that changes the frequency of your voice as you talk into the microphone; Apple explained that it is one frequency when talking on the phone, and another where using the speakerphone, and another when using Siri, and another when using voice memos, etc. You use the same 2 microphones for all of these applications (one at the bottom of the phone, and one my the camera lens), but the "audio chip" adjusts the freqency based on the applicaiton you are using. So, on my first iPhone 5s, my "audio chip" was defective, so they gave me a new iPhone 5s, and it has been working just fine. I had the most current IOS operating system on the original iPhone 5s with the faulty "audio chip," and on my new iPhone 5s which works great. Hope this helps. The technicians at Apple Customer Care and at the Apple Store are very aware of this problem with potentially defective "audio chips" in some of the iPhone 5s's. Cheers, Clarence from Cleveland.
