HT6065 mavericks battery usage seems disproportionately high

Since the update the battery seems to take ~50% to 60% as long to discharge. The machine also generates a lot more heat when performing regular activities such as browsing.

I was able to play the video for 6 hours and 30 minutes on my iPhone after the full charge yesterday. I stopped the video about five minutes after I receive the 10% low battery warning because I didn't want to run it to low. Here is the stat:
Usage: 7 hours 49 minuts
Standby: 21 hours
Video: 6 hours and 30 minutes (total time based on the six mp4 videos)
I didn't make or receive phone calls, check emails or surf the web. The ATT signal was at full with auto brightness on, but WIFI off, with occasional Yahoo push emails. I can comfortably say that Apple's claim of upto 7 hours of video is pretty close based on my own testing. Who knows how long I could keep the video going after the 10% low battery warning...
By the way, I notice something quite strange about the battery warning. After I got the 15% low battery warning, in less than 3 minutes I received the 10% low battery warning again. How could it drop 5% of battery in less than 3 minutes??? This was kinda odd.

CPU Usage Seems Very High

Seems my CPU usage is very high.
Right now I've shut down any other users and am only running firefox, activity monitor and some dashboard widgets (that the activity monitor shows are not using any resources) yet my CPU usage is bouncing around with user at about 70%, system at about 15% and Nice about 10%
On the activity monitor something call perl seems to be using all the CPU.
What's going on and what can / should I do?
Thanks
iMac G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm not making much progress.
This morning after startup and with both my wife and me logged in the HP Scanjet manager process seemed to be taking over -- I quit the process and the CPU use calmed down.
Then I rebooted and with only me as the user and only the activity monitor launched the "perl" application consumed around 90% of the CPU.
I unplugged all extra USB stuff (including the scanner) and rebooted and the same is happening -- perl is at about 80% but it seems to split responsiblity between the user and the system (40% user / 60% system with perl at 80%)
The only other thing I have plugged in is an external hard drive connected by firewire -- it takes a back up every morning and houses my iTunes library.
Any thoughts?

Since latest upgrade why does my iPhone and iPad battery usage seem greater?

Following the latest upgrade (April 2014) the battery usage on both iPhone and iPad is greater than before (50%+ in one day). Any ideas why or do I need to close anything?

Android 5.1.1 battery usage high?

Samsung S6 updated over air yesterday to 5.1.1 TBH I haven't seen that much difference in using it. But I used to use my phone all day and still have >50% battery left when put on charge overnight. Today I'm down to 20% with a good few hours left to normal recharge time. I've checked battery usage, and the highest usage is play services @ 25%. Is this normal? I haven't needed to check battery usage prior to issues, so this maybe perfectly normal. I've restarted my phone, turned off wifi GPS & bluetooth lunchtime (all these are normally left on) and still dropping fast. Is it just me, or are others suffering with battery drain since upgrade?

Hi
There's been a few posts around various issues after the over the air update.
Doing a back-up then a factory re-set seems to resolve the issue.

Z10 - High CPU and Battery Usage with BBM

I recently updated my Z10 (UK and EE Carrier) to 10.2.1.3062 and every day or so I am getting very high CPU and Battery Usage with BBM running in the background.
I have never used BBM and have no active or past conversations or contacts.
This morning, it used around 60% battery in under 3 hours, with 95% of that time sat at 'idle' in my pocket.
Sometimes its after I have connected it to my car stereo (charging and streaming music via USB) on an Alpine CDA-117Ri, but I dont think thats a cause.

Lumia 1020 | High battery usage

Hi,
I´m wondering if 20% battery usage while doing some whatsapp messaging and internet browsing per hour is the normal behavior of the Lumia 1020?
I only have battery sense, Bing weather and Whatsapp activated as background tasks. Bluetooth and NFC is turned off. I usually close my apps after using them so I only have one or two apps running. Screen Brightness is set to low.
Thanks!

Genrally I just use anything I like when I have access to top up, ie sat at m,y desk using usb charger, if out and about tend to turn off most apps and radio antenna to save power, or carry mobile charger with me. As you proved either flight mode or not using the phone drastically reduces power consumption. My phone generally lasts the working day even if used heavily, if I am busy actuallt working and not playeing on my phone it will have over 60% left at the end of the working day and that's with Twitter, FB and two mail accounts running along with a couple of other apps, Bluetooth , wifi and 3G.
If whatsapp is the culprit , just turn off when you know you will not be able to get a top up charge.
Good Luck

Nokia 1020 high battery usage

I have used my new 1020 for a couple of days. The problem I have is the battery use, and I have read other people that have had the same problem, and that they needed to get the phone replaced to get it fixed.
But Im trying here first.
the problem I have is that the battery life is extremly short. If I use the phone as ususal, calling, sending emails and maybe check something on the web, I only get about 3-4 hours before the battery is empty. Today I really checked everything, turning all background programs off, turning down the screen brightness etc etc. I still have like 15-20%/h of battery usage.
I then turned on the "battery saver" thing in the control panel, but that did not make any difference at all. Is there something else I can do before getting a replace phone?

I replaced it. Now it works perfect. I would like to say thanks to the Nokia people regarding the service. I called the supportnumber, explained the problem and he told me to get back to the store and get a replace. No problems, no "dumb" questions. Just got it replaced.
Some difference with the support I had with an iPhone some time ago. Same thing, bad phone from the box. First they did not believe me, then I had to get to the store where they made a reset of the phone. Then I had to come back again because it did not help, and leave the phone for repair. Sure I got a new one, but it took 2 weeks and a lot of trouble.

WP8.1 35% battery usage in an hour

After installing WP 8.1, I'm facing a strange issue, I charged my phone to 100% about an hour ago, but now it shows 65% remaining.
The weird thing is, the new battery saver usage statistics shows really high battery usage for apps that i've never used after installing WP 8.1 update. And they are all background usages according to the battery saver.
Is anyone else facing a similar issue?

In battery saver usage statistics, Internet Explorer is on top and about 70% of it's battery usage is in background.
2nd one is the default Camera app, 100% in background
3rd app on the list is Angry Birds GO, 100% in background
4th one is google mail account,
5th is a TV app, i dont even remember when i've installed it
6th is OneDrive, 100% background usage but background usage of the app has been disabled.
7th is Speedtest.net app, I've used it a couple of weeks ago, that's all
I've used a few apps after installing WP 8.1 preview and IE is one of them, the other apps that I've used was at the bottom of the list, that's really weird.

Does SMS relay iOS 8.1 cause extra iPhone battery usage?

I was messing with both SMS relay the other day and noticed that my battery drained almost twice as fast..
I was also messing with handoff and basically just testing the new integration features between Yosemite and iOS8.1
But my question is about SMS relay.. Does anyone know if this will us up more iPhone battery than if I wasn't using SMS relay and just SMSing from the iPhone itself?
Does SMS relay work via bluetooth? Could this be a cause for extra battery usage? It could be possible that I was jus using my phone a bit extra that day but I just want to make sure as I have SMS relay turned off for now, don't want battery life dropping..
-Frank

I had the same problem. I realized that it had everything to do with my calendar app. My iCalendar was having a difficult time fetching information from my Outlook and Yahoo Calendar. Causing my battery percentage to decline at a very rapid rate. (50% in a 4 hour time frame). I resolved the problem by going into my Settings >" Messaging , Contact , Calendar" Setting > Clicking on one of my selected Accounts ( Outlook or Yahoo) and turning off the Calendar Sync. The problem seemed to go away after doing this. Now I'm only using 4% battery life in a 4 hour time frame in StandBy Mode. Well I Can only hope that this will help resolve the battery drainage issue. Good Luck ....

Upgraded to ios 5.1 now extremely poor battery usage any ideas?

Upgraded Sunday to ios 5.1 now extremely poor battery usage - any ideas? Have tried a few thinks - nothing seems to make a difference?

Downgrading is not supported. What IS supported is searching though the forums....there are a number of excellent posts with great suggestions on maximizing battery life and troubleshooting battery issues.

Battery Usage after upgrade

I have upgrade my Z10 to the latest Software and I am highly disapointed by it, my Bluetooth connection to my Mercedes bluetooth carkit is not working anymore, and within 4 hours my baterry is totally empty, due to the Hub and the system, haven't called or received a call during that time.
Now i have to load my phone 3 times a day, that is not the way to release new upgrades.

I am now running the New OS as from Wednesday evening besides the well known issues with the battery and the Bluetooth, what I see I am happy with, BUT I really can't understand that BlackBerry who is not as popular anymore and is in really bad weather can effort such a terrible OS release, I agree with Paul that this looks like a Early Beta release then as a finished tested release. I AM NO fan from Apple and Android, but if BlackBerry keeps on releasing such OS upgrades they will soon be without any clients and Chapter 11 will looming soon. As from this morning I switched BlackBerry Link off and that helps a bit. I will be patient for the Battery usage BUT the Bluetooth not working is really not acceptable.

Home & Lock screen battery usage 47%

Iphone 5 IOS 8. In checking the new features on IOS 8, I noticed that the Battery Usage for Home & Lock Screen is 47%. Battery replaced on 09/12/14. Is this normal?

I have been having this issue off and on since the 8.0.2 update. I seemed to fix it, then 8.1 brought it back... thought I got it in order again, and mostly, it runs ok..then suddenly the battery just drains like crazy! Granted... my phone is about a year old, so probably is about time to replace the battery anyway... but it's this unpredictability that is bothering me! I almost have to keep it plugged in at night now because I use it as an alarm clock, and a couple of times, the battery has nearly totally drained within just a few hours of sitting there! Last night, I know I looked at it in the middle of the night and it was at about 85%, but then this morning, suddenly, it had dropped to less than 10%! Same thing earlier this week. It was sitting on my desk by my computer and it had been fine and suddenly the insufficient battery symbol was flashing! If it were just the battery going bad, I would have expected it to consistently drain, but it seems fine some days.
One thing I did consider is that we have some apple charger cables and some cheap, third party ones....and sometimes it seems that, while they seem to charge the phone, that the charge doesn't hold as well... but it isn't consistent either. I do know that the colorful ones target sells are NOT good! they cut off some of the sound when plugged in (video, text alerts etc), and if you try to use it as a data transfer cable to your computer, the transfer seems to get stuck.

Apple Watch iPhone app battery usage

Hi Everyone,
Is anyone else finding that the Apple watch companion iPhone app is having a massive drain on their iPhone battery?
Since getting the watch, my iPhone is draining at about 2x the normal rate. When I go into the iPhone and take a look at the battery usage, it's the Apple Watch app that's absolutely creaming the battery.
As a bit of background, I expected this to be the case on the day I got the watch, given I was playing with it so much, but today, I've not done anything special on the watch or on the phone because I've had a busy morning. Even so, my iPhone will be drained by mid afternoon at the current burn rate.

Having the same issue. Burned through 50% battery without really doing anything. It definitely seems to be tied to how much you use the watch though

IPhone 5 Battery Usage Spiked!

For the past 10 days, battery usage on my iPhone 5 has spiked! I've gone from charging it once a day to needing to charge it three to four times a day. This morning I watched battery life percentage go from 97% to 36% in four hours. I did not make any calls on it during that time. I have tried some experiments to isolate the problem.
     The battery seems to deplete at the same rate if I am on my home WiFi or AT&T's LTE but I have been leaving it on cellular a lot lately becaue the LTE service is fast.
     I see that using bluetooth to stream music from my iPhone to a speaker drains the battery more quickly but lately it drains at a more rapid rate.
     I've turned off a few notifications I don't need with little effect.
     I do have a few weather apps that I have been accessing recently (I live in the midwest) but I have done that with other iPhones in the past.
45 days ago I had to restore the iPhone back to factory settings and start over again because I could not join any wifi network the the entire system slowed. Apple thought it was corrupted software so I had to start over. Today I do not seem to have those problems but battery life is signficantly reduced.
Does anyone have advise as to what do to next other than take it in to the local Apple store for tests?
BTW I have plenty of space left on the iPhone and am running IOS 6.1.4.   Come to think of it, this issue occurred around the time I installed 6.1.4!
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Jay

There can be many reasons, but usually, it's an App issue, not a phone issue. For example, if you have an exchange mail account, it could be constantly trying to push mail. That will certainly drain a bettery fast. If you check you mail account and you see a spinning circle, which doesn't stop, that could be your problem. Often, either rebooting your phone or deleting, then re-entering the mailbox will resolve that. You could also have apps running in the background. Do you routinely fully close apps you are not using. To do so, double tap your home button to bring up the task bar (recently used apps). With your finger, hold it on any of the apps until they jiggle and you an on the upper left side of each app. Touch the to fully close the app.
Finally, during the set up of a phone or the upgrade of iOS, some things don't always port over correctly. Restoring the device and setting it up again, often solves this.

Drastic reduction in battery usage time after OS B...

Drastic reduction in battery usage time after OS Belle update. Without calls or any application use - one day! I am using a Nokia C7-00. Any solution to the problem?

Many folks, including myself have had success with correcting this with a battery cycling...
Basically...drain the battery until iPhone shuts itself off...Then charge using a home power outlet and NOT a Computer USB...
Then allow it to drain again fully until it shuts off...then again Charge fully using Home outlet...
Even though these batteries don't carry memory...this process seems to correct battery issues with the cells themselves just not acting properly...
