HT4623 why is my battery life dieing so quickly

I recently updated my ipad2.   Since then, my battery life dies so quickly.    I can use it once, close it, then open it again and the battery life is down 40%.    I used to get two days of life before the update.   I closed out all the "Location" request, the auto updates to apps, everything I thought was draining the battery life.  Why?

  • HT4623 Why is my battery life so short on my iPhone 4S

  • Why is my battery life dieing every 5 minutes. What should I do?

    I have had my iPod for about 3 years now. After the one year warranty my battery life slowly started draining. Then I decided to take it to apple support but it didn't help I did every thing the man told me to do. Still my phone has not worked. Now I need a new battery if its possible. Or maybe if they fix it this time it will work. I love apple products and I could not live without them. Hopefully they can fix it.  

    You can try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However, I suspect the battery needs replacing.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the battery for less. Google for more.

    Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Y can purchase a replacment battery for about $10

  • Why is my battery life going so quickly

    I just bought this iPad mini and the battery life goes down 5% in a half hour. How can I get more battery life?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    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.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Ipod touch 4 Battery life dying very quickly, not iOS5 problem

    Basically my battery is showing 100% for a 20 second period when i change songs or try to play games it goes down by 5 to 10 percent every 35 seconds once it gets low enough it goes back up to maybe 50 % when i lock it and go back to the music menu it show 80 or 70%...
    And when i want to charge the ipod it shows 6% and my ipod dies and doesn't start it recharges to 100% in about 30 minutes and so on, i know this isn't normal is there a fix for it, i tried playing music until it died but it still charged back to 100% in 30 minutes.. This is really starting to **** me off!
    And i tried restoring it didn''t help!

    Not percentage but i tried to guesstimate cause i see it go low and then higher then lower lower and then high keeps going up and down i used battery doctor pro..

  • Why is the battery life on my iPhone 6 plus so bad is it because iOS 8.1

  • Since I downloaded OS X lion, why is my battery life on my Mac Book Pro suffered

    Why has my battery life suffered, since I downloaded OS X Lion on my Mac Book Pro?    How can I increase the battery life?

    Get gfxCardStatus. It is a free menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your MacBook Pro is using at any given time.
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33905/gfxcardstatus>
    When you are running on the battery, you want to make sure you are using the "Integrated" graphics unit, as it is more power efficient.
    You might also want to run Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor and see if there are any processes which are consuming an excess amount of CPU non-stop.

  • Why is my battery life worse after software update.

    Why is my battery life worse following software update?

    Dont Bother Audre
    If you have updated to 6.1.1 and your phone is outside the warrenty perios, then you WILL have issues, so you take your phone to Apple and they will give you a replacement for £139 and they will also say its much cheaper what you paid for your handset!!!!
    Just wait for the next update - If they have a heart and care for the 4s users, they will fix the battery issue too
    Thanks

  • Why is my battery life so short on Iphone 4?

    Why is my battery life so short on my new I phone 4 with Verizon?

    if you have checked the specs and it all works out, you can do a number of things. first i would suggest that for a dat you turn off 3G and cellular data to see if your service is running it  down. you can do thing by going to settings-general-network-then turning them off. if this still doesn't work then try running it all the way down to 0% then giving it a full charge. i noticed that if regularly if you run the app Battery Pro Boost Magic to see whats taking up so much of your battery. if all of this fails to work then your battery might be defective so contact apple and try to get it replaced.

  • Why is my battery draining down so quickly, since the latest update?

    Why has my battery life gone from a once a day charge to nearly needing to keep it plugged up all the time. Since I installed the latest update, my phone will go from 100% charge to 30-40% within 3-1/2 hours and that's just sitting in standby on my desk at work. I have made sure all my background stuff is turned off, including the background refresh thingy. It's a little aggregating and if someone has an answer me and my family would love to hear it. Thanks.

    Well razmee209, I have done everything on the list that you sent me and turned off everything I could, that's working in the background, and still be able to function with my phone and the battery is still draining off dramatically. I even did the recalibration to no avail.
    I honestly didn't have any battery issues until installed the latest update and ever since it has been bad. It would be different if it were just me but based on what I have read it's happening to everyone. It really ***** cause my battery was unplugged at 5:50am and at 10:40am it's at 40% life left. You all really have created a power but in the last update.

  • My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

    i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
    an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
    can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

    The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
    First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off.  check out   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

  • EOS rebel T2i battery is dying really quick. Is there a setting that uses the battery?

    I replaced my battery in my 2  year old rebel T2i because the battery started dying a lot sooner.  The new battery didn't last much longer. I have the "Auto Power Off" setting to 30 seconds.  Is there another setting that will keep the battery / camera on or is there some other problem?  OR, is there a way to reboot the system to factory defaults?  Thanks.

    I did a search at images.google.com for "canon t2i menu" and noticed that I can find versions with 2 yellow wrenches as well as 3 yellow wrenches.
    Here's a link to your camera's manual at the Canon site.  
    http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/9/0300004289/02/eosrt2i-eos550d-im3-c-en.pdf
    The instructions are on page 144 -- but it definitely shows that it's the 3rd wrench tab based on that manual.
    This many be related to firmware version.
    The last firmware for that camera is version 1.0.9.  You can find it here:  http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_re...
    Updating firmware is fairly easy but they DO want you to have a freshly charged battery (and you said your battery is dying "really quick" -- not sure how long that actually is.  It takes just a few minutes to apply new firmware but it would be bad if the camera died before the update completed.

  • Reinstall io5? battery is dying very quickly... 4% every 30 minutes

    Does anyone know how to reinstall io5 by downloading again from scratch?
    My battery is dying very quickly... I visited apple in San Antonio and they said that I needed to reinstall because of "springboard" restarting over and over...
    they said it was common problem with upgrade. 
    And they mentioned that I needed to goto:
    Settings
    General
    Reset
    Erase All Content & Settings
    My iphone4 keeps some settings and isn't quite doing what is should.  MY iPhone ISN'T JB and that isn't an option for me.
    Any advise... please text me at (361) 444-2409.
    Thank you Everyone !

    First, please don't put any of your contacts on this thread.
    If you want to reinstall iOS5 and start from Scratch then do this.
    1. Open your itunes.
    2. Connect your iphone to your computer
    3. Once connected, click on your iphone (located on the left window).
    4. Click Restore
    5. It will Restore
    6. Once complete, Set up as new phone.
    *As for number 6, if you set up as new phone, everything in your phone is lost and is pretty much like the way you got it out of the box.

    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
