HT4623 my battery is draining faster than normal AND my phone is rebooting on its own.

since i updated to iOS 6, my phone is killing the battery, and i am getting random reboots. has anyone else experienced this?

Basics from the user manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try these in order until your phone is fixed.

How do you measure if a battery is failing faster than normal?

How can you tell if your battery is failing faster than normal or acceptable?
I bought 2 batteries with my G4 Powerbook 2 years ago. One now gives me an hour of battery life, and one 1.5 hours. This seems very low considering it's only 1 year of use per battery. Apple Care only asks about how long the battery has been owned... never how much it has been used, number of cycles, amps, etc.
Battery Information:
BATTERY #1
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 2703
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 2170
Amperage (mA): 637
Voltage (mV): 12522
Cycle Count: 190
BATTERY #2:
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 3032
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3027
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12417
Cycle Count: 105
Compare these numbers with my brother's PowerBook G4, bought just a few months after mine:
My main battery has 209 cycles and a capacity of 3686 mAh. My secondary has only 29 cycles and a capacity of 4400 mAh.
why does he have 3686 mAh after 209 cycles, and my bettery has 2703 after 190 cycles? Is there some way to tell if this is "inappropriate" loss of power?
Thanks

I did do several things wrong (that I only found out about now):
1. I left the computer plugged into AC
2. I stored whichever battery was not in use full, rather than half full
But I did callibrate regularly (if only by necessity).
I still think 1.5 hours at 2 years is not very good if you are using two batteries (that's really only one year each).
However, I called AppleCare, and I was told they will only consider a battery if it has been owned for under a year, and has less than one hour of life at best. That still seems extremely low to me (I'd be upset if I had 1 hour at 1 year on my only battery), but such is life. I think the moral of the story is that it would help to give instructions about battery care with the computer, and don't buy an extra battery unless you really need it.

Battery dying faster than normal and I have been to the Apple Store and battery is fine

Is anyone else experiencing this? Both my iPad and my iPhone 5 started to have the battery die 2x faster after the latest upgrade. I have reset it without losing data and I am about to reset one of them back to original. Any one have any suggestions? I am thinking that one of my apps is trying to always load or search for wifi but not sure and don't know how to figure out which one it is.
I have been to the Apple store and they have checked my batteries and both are fine. The staff suggested that I let the battery die right down and completely charge it and then shut it down for a few seconds. so that the device is " clean" and then turn it back on but that didn't work at all.

You can poke around in the settings. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. Such as notifications. Background app update, background app update. Try turning those off and see if that helps.

Retina mid 2012- battery to drain faster than expected when the lid is closed

Hi
I was excited to see the battery drain fix today, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1748?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
However I have this issue with a Retina, Mid 2012 machine which the fix has not been released for.
Does anybody know if there will be a fix for other machines?
I have tested with a clean install and even in boot camp i.e. running windows with power cable out, lid closed - battery drains by 30-50% overnight in all tests.
thanks all
Dan

You may just need to reset your smc like you did with the MacBook Air. It also may help to reset the PRAM. To reset SMC, shut down machine and plug it into a working power adapter and power source. Locate the shift, control, and option keys on the left side of the keyboard. Hit the power button along with those keys at the same time for about 10 seconds. Your power adapter light will change state which is normal after you release the keys.
To reset PRAM, locate Command, Option, P, and R on your keyboard. As soon as you turn on the machine, press those four keys. It will shut down and start up again and will make the "bong" noise like it does on startup. Hold those keys in for a few more cycles and then let it go. If those didn't do it, you might wanna have it checked out by a technician. Unless you have AppleCare+ you should take it to apple and they'll do it for free but if you don't it really doesn't matter if you go to a genius bar or some computer shop nearby, but make sure they're certified by Apple. Hope this helped!

I keep getting this notice "my battery draining faster than before" and to click ok to install battery doctor. How do I get rid of this message without selecting it

It's from http://secureandroid.obi Apple iPad 2 alert! How do I get rid of this annoying notice.

Don't go to that website is the best advice I can give.

As Soon As Any Effect Is Applied On The Video Or Sequence The Video Playing Speed Gets Faster Than Normal And Red Screen Also Starts Appearing In Between The Video. Tried Changing The Speed And Duration But Its Not Working.Help Required ASAP.

The Issue Is Majorly Caused When Any Effect Is Applied On The Video And Rendered The Issue Occurs. And By Closing The Application And Restarting The Application Its Works Fine Again But As Soon As The Effects Are Applied Same Problem Occurs Recursively.

What is the format of the material you are editing, is it variable frame rate?

How can I get rid of this Lollipop update? My phone drains faster than it can take a charge!

I've just spent 4 hours on the line w/ Verizon support agents who were all very nice, but nobody could solve my problem. Without anything else happening on my phone, I hit an icon to launch an app, and it takes like 2 minutes for anything to happen. The battery drains faster than it can get charged in SAFE MODE!
Is there a way to go back to the old OS without rooting?

Thanks. I have been using the built-in battery monitor as well as the application manager. It helps seeing the processes that are chewing away at your phone's RAM and battery, but at this point, it's not even helpful anymore.
I don't think 'Samsung.Settings' is something I can disable on my phone and that is what's hogging up 80% of my phone's resources. (Fresh boot and all)
What really irks me is that I've never signed up to be a BETA tester for Samsung which is basically what we all are doing... Factory reset, remove all apps, add each app back individually, find what app(s) are causing the problems, etc.
No - this should have been vetted out long before they decided to push out an OS update that has no backward motion of loading the previous OS...

Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around

Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around, please I need to know the cause and how to effect necessary changes that will prolong the battery life as I have gone through the settings which includes turning off the push notifications, reduce brightness and so on but that doesn't seem to help much.

FYI
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IOS 8.1 installed yesterday has spoilt my iPad 2! There are no keyboard, message or app sounds, performance is now sluggish, juddery and strange, battery is draining fast and it no longer security locks when put to sleep.

I am so cross because iOS 8.1 installed yesterday has ruined my iPad 2! There are now no keyboard, message or app sounds, performance is slow, juddery and strange, the battery is draining fast and the iPad no longer security locks when put to sleep. I have checked all the settings, done a number of resets and really wish I hadn't bothered and stayed with iOS 7 when it all worked like a dream. I thought that by waiting until 8.1, teething problems would have been fixed and I am just horrified that there is no going back! I am not the only iPad owner that has this set of problems so why didn't you warn us Apple! What are you going to do to help us? I do not want to be forced into buying a newer version of iPad because you broke this one!

In spite of the fact that you said you checked the settings, I still believe that you have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

AS for your other issues, have you done any other troubleshooting like resetting your iPad, resetting all settings or doing a complete factory reset?

How can I get tracks to play faster than normal speed in itunes?

I have lectures, audio books, and other recordings that I would like to play at faster than normal speed (like 1.5X or 2X normal speed).   I've set all of these recordings as audio books because I read that they have the option to play faster, but, I can't find how to actually make them play faster. I also read that it's possible to open them in quicktime, but that is very much less than ideal and a waste of time. Surely there is a way to do this in itunes, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.

I will show you how I played my audio or mp3 files at any particular speed. This method will allow you to simply enter in your desired speed.(ex. 1.5 or 1.33)
In my case Im using an audio book [Lord of the flies] I download off youtube as a MP3 file using this program:
http://download.cnet.com/MediaHuman-YouTube-to-MP3-Converter/3000-2140_4-7544580 3.html
      First off, you will need to make sure your audio file is open in QuickTime player rather then iTunes. First you need to locate the audio file. If your audio file is in itunes then right click the file and select "Show in Finder"
     The file should open in a finder window, highlighted. Right click the file, go to "Open With.." And click Quicktime Player. (If quickTime Player is not an option, you need to go to "Other..." and select QuickTime Player from your Applications folder)
Now that your mp3 file is open in a QuickTime window you may proceed to step 1.
1) Open Finder
2) Click Applications
3) Click Utilities
4) Open AppleScript Editor
5) In the program copy and paste the script below.
6) Click "Compile"
7) Now to test this script, click "Run" A window should pop up prompting you to enter your desired speed (default is 1.5)
8) press "OK" and quick time should start playing your audio at the speed you entered in.
9) If you would like to use this script again, go to File > Save... >Name your AppleScript and save it Anywhere (I saved mine in the Music Folder for easy access)
tell application "iTunes"
pause
set myTrack to location of current track
# the player’s position within the currently playing track in seconds
set mySeconds to player position
end tell
# show a Dialog
set SpeedFactor to 1.5
display dialog "Enter speed factor:" default answer SpeedFactor
set SpeedFactor to text returned of the result
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
# pause all previously opened documents
set open_docs to documents
repeat with doc in open_docs
pause doc
end repeat
# open the track just played in iTunes
open myTrack
# get the 'QuickTime' document, MyTrack should be equivalent but it isn't
set MyMovie to first document
# rewind by 10 seconds
if mySeconds > 10 then
set mySeconds to mySeconds - 10
end if
# set current time
set current time of MyMovie to mySeconds
# set Speed Factor and start playing
set rate of MyMovie to SpeedFactor
end tell

The time on my pre is faster than normal

when i used the pre in my hometown the time worked fine. i am now at college and still in the same time zone so it is the same exact time as my hometown, but for some reason it runs faster than normal. so ill set it to my computer time then later on in the day it will be like an hour ahead. i dont know what to do, help please.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I've been having a similar problem. Here's my story:
My wife and I got Pres on the day they went on sale. About a week later I noticed that the time was fast on both of them.
Over the next few weeks I tried experimenting with everything I could think of. I tried every combination of setting the network time and zone sliders to on and off, but they still gained about 3 minutes a day.
At one point I called Sprint. They quickly elevated me to the senior tech person, who was stumped. The best they could offer was to do a reset. Doing so did result in the phone grabbing the correct time, but it proved to be a non-fix... it started running fast again.
In June we spent five days in Las Vegas. During that period, my phone kept absolutely perfect time; my wife's, however, continued to run fast. When we returned home to Seattle, my phone also resumed running fast.
Last Friday we took the phones into a Sprint store with an on-site repair shop. They took mine in the back, told me they did some updates (not sure what this was since all my updates were current) and told me it was fine. No such luck. By the next day I noticed it was still running fast. My wife's phone also had some minor screen cracks so they swapped hers for a referb unit. Believe it or not, this one started running fast as well.
At some point I noticed that the phone grabs the correct time if I connect it via USB for a media sync.
So, that's where I'm at -- we've handled three phones and all of them run fast regardless of how the network/zone sliders are set. I really don't know what else to try but would eagerly welcome any suggestions.

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s, recently its been a lot hotter than usual, also the battery life is going down a lot faster than usual, and it takes absolutely ages to charge up. There must be a serious problem with the battery, any ideas? thanks

Charging a smartphone on a daily basis has pretty much been par for the course for 7 years now unless you just don't use it at all...
Maybe you could clarify just how much it's draining and with what kind of usage...
Look at Settings>General>Usage... scroll down and look at the statistics for usage and standby. Keep track of this for a day or so.

Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charged. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ?

Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ? Somebody told me I should have let it discharged and then to fully charge, but I didn't do it, my iphone is working very well, the battery too but I'm worried if the battery lifespan is gonna get worsen soon if I didn't abide by the rules and procedures of battery charging.
I had problems on my previous iPhone 4s, it died because I didn't replaced the battery with a new one because my battery never worked well and I never knew it , the battery used to overheat my iPhone and it caused to damage my processor completely to death. Who does the replacement of the iphone processor? I need help how to maintain with the iphone battery. And also let me know if I did something wrong that I should get worried about or not ?!?!

Apple does not fix the iPhone 4S, they replace the phone. If not covered by warranty, called an out of warranty exchange. Cost is US $199. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
Be aware, Apple does not sell iPhone parts, thus there is no legitimate source for genuine parts.
