HT201493 does this app drain your battery

Does anyone know if the "find my friends app drains your battery"?

Anything that uses 3G and GPS will have a noticeable impact. But in my experience when someone is looking for you it's quite respectful of battery usage. If you are looking for a friend that can't be found, it's more noticeable.
This is only anecdotal evidence though.

    Wow. I have not seen that question nor a discussion. I agree with James. I don't think it will, and if the power drain is different, maybe it'll be less and not more.
    With a 10 hour battery, you have plenty of time to test it and see. If the battery depletes fast, just go back to the other way.
    If you do try it, let us know what you discover.
    Thanks ! !

  • Why does the e-mail app drain my battery?

    I have a itouch 4. i have reset it a few times. i have rebooted it a few times. I have turned off the battery-draining apps. Despite all of this -- the itouch battery drains in minutes when I use e-mail.
    Regards

    Well Mail drains your battery if you have 'Push' turned on. Push basically contacts your server in the background to check if you have a new e-mail and so it drains out your battery. You can turn it off and select Fetch manually.

  • I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen.  I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email.  Does this app exist?

    I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen.  I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email.  Does this app exist?  It seems like we were doing these same types of things with Palm Pilots years ago, one would think this would work with iPads?

    I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

  • HT5007 Why does this app stop at about 10 seconds into a selected trailer then resume on it's own?

    Why does this app stop and resume?

    I believe the OP is asking about the Apple iTunes Movies Trailer app, so it is an Apple app.
    I think maybe the video playback catches up with the download and until the download resumes, the video is stopping. Just a guess at this point.

    I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iPod Utility for Windows hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's probably not supported in Windows 8. Have you tried to run it in compatibility mode?

  • How fast does wifi drain your battery?

    Under ideal conditions, it's supposed to drain on average 1% every 6 minutes.
    Mine drains 1% every ~3.7 minutes with push email, wifi on, 3g on, and browsing forums like these... (no videos)
    This'll make my phone last 6 hours on wifi. Is this normal?

    i've found 3G to be a bit of a killer so i just use edge/wifi, i cant get 3G reception at work so its not even an issue as i'll gladly use wifi when at home.
    thinking about it, its a shame that the phone doesn't automatically switch off the 3G radio when the phone is off or in standby (or maybe keep the connection alive for X seconds after the screen is off, just incase, i've used an android app that does this sort of thing) as that'll be the most efficient way of doing things: wifi/3g when the phone is on and in use but only uses edge when its in standby for mail checking etc.
    or even, for mail checking, switch the 3G radio on, check the mail then turn the 3G radio off again?
    also, if you are connected to wifi, does that switch off the 3G/mobile data radio or leave both running?

  • Is twinkle app draining my battery - what else could it be

    I have noticed that in the last week my battery does not last a day -after being fully charge in the morning it normally runs out in the early evening when it used to last until the next morning.
    The only difference i can think of is that i now use Twinkle - but i am not on it that often during the day. I only check in once or twice and then only for 5 - 10 mins.
    Does anyone else have this issue with twinkle or a similar app. What else could it be a none of my other settings have changed re push, wifi, brightness
    I do try to make sure i hold my home button down when coming out of most apps until screen shuts down as it has been suggested this makes sure app is fully off.
    Any suggestions or similar findings?

    then why is my phone draining the battery like never before. It was fully charged 2 1/2 hours ago and now the battery charger looks have way gone! Am hardly using it today to see what happens to battery. Tomorrow may delete twinkle app and see what happens then!
    Very strange- any more ideas from anyone about why my battery is suddenly not lasting as long when i have made no changes to setting

  • Is anyone else experiencing problems with Lion draining your battery?

    Ever since installing Lion my battery will not re-chatge to 100% and immediately on boot up this OS starts to drain my battery quickly.

    I don't have those problems with my iPhone 5.  It almost sounds like your headset isn't fully plugged in and you might be getting static from the cord rubbing against your clothing.  If you are generating a static charge, it is possible that static is being interpreted by the control channel (the volume buttons, or the play/pause button inline in the headset) as commands.  Does this happen with every headset, or just the one you are using now?
    I use my iPhone 5 fairly heavily with the wired headset, and even a good bit with a Motorola S10HD  bluetooth headset.  I don't have the static issues with either, nor do I have problems with volume dropouts.
    You might want to set an appointment with your local Apple Genius Bar to have them take a look.  If it is just the headset, they should replace it on the spot.  If it is more severe and a hardware issue with your specific iPhone 5s, they should be able to help you too.

  • Does "Lost Mode" drain the battery?

    Yesterday, Friday evening,   I forgot my phone at a bank, just a couple of minutes before they closed.  When I track it, I can see that it's still there, so I know the phone is safe.  I want to put it in "Lost Mode" so that I can put my husband's phone number on the screen. Hopefully they'll be open tomorrow, but if they're not, will the battery be drained by Monday morning?
    I know I can go back in on Monday and retrieve it, but I it would be nice to know,  does "Lost Mode" accelerate the battery drain?
    Thanks,
    Erica

    Hi Erica.
    I don't believe so. The message isn't displayed on screen permanently, someone needs to tap the homescreen button to see it. I guess there is a small amount of usage when the message is sent to the device and then again when the device sends the message it's been found but I don't think it will make much difference.

  • HT201364 does this app help you get imessage on your macbook

    how do you clear 2Gb worth of space on macbook to dowload the maverick

    There are several apps in the App Store that can help you identify what is occupying your disk space and help clean out old or unused files. Search the App Store for "disk space" and you will turn up over 50 utilities to help you identify what is using your disk space and helping you to clear it out.
    The only long term answer however is you need a...
    bigger internal hard drive
    sizable external hard drive to supplement your internal HD
    new Mac with a bigger hard drive
    all of the above
