I think i have solved the battery drain

like many of you i have been plagued with the battery drain issue after 3.1.2.
i believe what is causing it is mobile safari.
we know that w/3.0 an anti-phishing feature was added and by default it is turned on settings>safari>fraud warning.
the way it is supposed to work is you connect to wifi>plug into charger> open up safari> and turn screen off. it is supposed to download the anti-phishing database while the unit is "off" and charging.
i believe part of it is broken.. i believe it is downloading even when it is not plugged in.
this explains all the symptons all the "cures"
what i did last nite was to follow apples directions turned on wifi-plug into charger-open up mobile safari and turned off screen.
to test i went to a known phishing site: tinyurl.com/ratju4 the anti-fraud warning popped up - the database downloaded.
since 6 am this am - i've been out for a run- used the gps to track it and listened to music at the same time, spent 1/2 hour reading emails and google reader @ breakfast since 6 am i have 1 hour 40 minutes of usage and 3 hours 12 mins of standby and 73% left on the battery meter
i assume if you turn off the antifraud feature you will get the same beneftits

Ok, so is this only a issue if you charge your phone by the wall charger? I normally always charge my phone through the USB cable on my iMac.
And I too would like to know if there's a way to find out if the database has been downloaded or not.
How long does it take to download the database after you have connected via wifi, turned on safari and locked the screen?
I don't see any anti-phishing settings anywhere in the settings menu. So would turning the
fraud warning to "off" do the same thing?
I'm really hoping that this works because the battery drain is a huge pain in the butt, and Apple seems to be completely unwilling to replace my phone. They say they don't replace phones for software issues or problems caused by software(even when it's their software!). Load of bollocks if you ask me.

I think I have solved the "Stand" problem!

I was having an issue where the Apple Watch wouldn't recognize times that I would stand (or have other activity) in the Activity app. After trying everything, I finally reset the watch ("erase all content and settings" in the Watch app). After setting up the watch (as a new device) the watch hasn't messed up once in reciting "stand" data. Give it a shot...
At the very this makes me think that the problem is a software one which can be fixed with a software update down the road.

This depends on when Nikon gets around to updating the drivers. It's Nikon's responsibility, not Apple's or Adobe's. Unfortuantely Nikon doesn't have a stellar record of supporting their software or drivers on OS X.
In the meantime you can always shoot JPEG and import that into Aperture. If you shoot NEF+JPEG you can import just the JPEGs into Aperture now, and later on import the matching NEF files. You could also use ViewNX2 to convert the NEF files to TIFF. At least until Nikon gets around to updating their drivers for the 7100 for Aperture & PSE.

Which os is installed on your computer?

I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
Talk time:
Up to 7 hours on 3G
Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
Standby time: Up to 300 hours
Internet use:
Up to 6 hours on 3G
Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Knowing what you were using it for would help

Why is the battery draining so fast?

Everything in safari is shut down, all multi-tasking is turned off too. My phone is only 7 months old & has worked fine up until today when I noticed the battery draining so fast.

@ neeraj_96 - Thanks for the input, but that's not the issue. As I was saying in my reply, my phone has had a wonderful battery life up until yesterday. This has nothing to do with turning off fetching or lowering my brightness. I have done no major changes in the settings to my iPhone since yesterday, but now all the sudden I can barely hold a charge. I completely charged it last night to 100%. This morning I woke up and it was at 56%. My wife has an iPhone 4, hers was at 96% and this morning it is at 91%. Something is definitely up with my phone's battery that is not a normal operation.
I have tried to do a complete reboot of the phone (holding the power button and the home key down for 10 seconds) and that has not solved the problem. I would suspect that it's an application running in the background, but I figured, as @williamformlouisville stated, that would have killed any rouge application draining my battery, but it has not helped. This is definitely not normal for this phone's operation.

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck

Why is the battery draining 10 percent faster with iOS 7?, Why is the battery draining 10 percent faster with iOS 7?

Since I installed iOS 7 the battery drains 10 percent faster than before. How do I fix this? And is there someway to turn off the feature that makes the background wallpaper moves since it makes me sick and nacious. Feeling that iOS 7 is a flop. First time since I've gotten a Apple product that I have to ask how things work and for the first time I am displeased with their operative system.
This made me buy a Samsung phone yesterday instead of the new iPhone. I don't want this iOS 7. It *****!

Not sure what "nacious" means, but you can turn off the movement wallpaper/icons in the settings: General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > On
The iOS 7 includes many nifty features like the Control Center for instance.
Download the manual for iPad with iOS 7 here:

Could Exchange be a cause of the battery drain issue with 3.1.2

I've never had a significant battery drain issue until I upgraded to 3.1.2. This started four days ago, when I've been relying on 3G more rather than WiFi since I've been out of town. I just changed my work e-mail Exchange from push to fetch every 15 minutes, and it seems to have improved some of the battery drain problems. I haven't done the experiment yet of switching back to push. Any other similar experiences out there?

There were reports some time ago of incorrectly configured Exchange servers sending out too many push messages, thus draining the battery faster than normal.

HT4623 i installed the latest update to fix the battery drain , but it didnt work !! what should i do ? re-install an earlier OS ??

i installed the latest os update to fix the battery drain problem.......
it didnt work !!!!!!!!! ideas ????????????

I have exactly the same problem, error messages as you say, and unable to open iTunes.
Is there a bug with this latest update?

I think I have all the settings right, why doesn't iCloud work?

I think I have all the settings correct, but nothing is happening. I post on calendar, it isn't on other devices. Contacts didn't showmupmeither.
Mail might be right. i can send mail from both, but how do I add folders? I cannot find directions anyplace.

My only problem right now is iCal. Nothing is syncing but I discovered I did not sign up for Mobile Me. Here is where my real problem comes in: I need a password to sign up for Mobile Me and everytime I put in a password, Apple won't accept it. I have changed my password 6 or 7 times today. When I get the new one, it will let me in to do that particular thing, but five minutes later, I try something else, and I get the error message. I KNOW what I'm putting in is correct.
10 minutes ago I changed my password. I checked in here at the discussions....got right in with the new password. Went to Mobile Me...get error message that this is the wrong password.
What do I do about this? It's been going on all day. I am trying to install iOS5 but I can't get in anything because of the password problem. I don't have a clue what to do. My warranty is off so I ca't call Apple for free and they charge a lot for phone help. Do you have any idea what the problem is with the password and what I can do to solve it?
Thanks so much.

10.8.5 upgrade and now the battery drain is terrible

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and now the battery drain is terrible. Any suggestions? I check the activity monitor and that seems to be fine.

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
2. If not, follow these instructions.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Water damage to my iPhone 5s and now the battery drains quickly

My water bottle leaked through my bag and got into my phone, when I discovered this I have no idea how long it had been sitting in water for. It wouldnt turn on so I immediately put it in rice in a snap lock bag. After a few hours it turned on again and all seemed to be fine but now the battery drains very quickly, even when no apps are open.
I only got the phone a few weeks ago. Is this something that will be cheap to fix by apple or am I better off trying to do it myself?

Also my finger print thing doesnt work but I can live without that, but i cant live withouth a battery

I think I have opened the sobig.f virus in my hotmail account and it keeps seding emails to my contacts. How do I stop it, and will it effect any of my other transactions like internet banking/shopping, is it safe?

I think I have opened the sobig.f virus in my hotmail account and it keeps seding emails to my contacts. How do I stop it, and will it effect any of my other transactions like internet banking/shopping, is it safe To continue using my ipad ?

This isn't due to malware. There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
As lizdance40 says, your Hotmail account has been hacked remotely. Change the password immediately. Hotmail accounts are popular targets, but as long as you choose a good password, and make sure that password is not the same as a password you use with any other account, you should be safe.
I disagree with lizdance40's statement that you have to abandon the account and create a new e-mail address. If a hacker is able to get back in even after changing the password, the problem is not with the account itself. There's another vulnerability of some kind somewhere. Perhaps the account allows hackers to leave a "back door" to get back in (such as with GMail's delegation feature), in which case any such feature needs to be reviewed and have settings changed. Perhaps you are checking mail in an insecure manner while on an insecure network (ie, a wireless network that requires no password). Perhaps you are using a password on multiple accounts, and a different account has been compromised. Perhaps a hacker has used knowledge gained by prior access to your account to achieve "social hacking" (ie, convincing a tech to give him access because he has "forgotten the password"). There are many scenarios, but there's no good reason to abandon the account entirely.

Iphone 4S resets itself every few min - the battery drains in an hr.

My iphone 4S is resetting every few minutes as a result the battery drains in an hour.
By resetting I mean, the lock screen would show up, then the apple sign would come up like when you start your iphone, searches for the network etc. This happens every few minute even when the phone is on standby or when I am using it. If I am on the call, then the call gets disconnected because the phone is resetting.
The usage always shows "-" for both Usage and Standby with the message that the usage time will be shown after iphone is fully charged.
This started only a month ago when my phone was not on the latest os version. But now it is on the latest but the problem never did go away. It never fell out of my hand or fall into water and is barely a year old (just 10/15 days over the warranty period).
Please help!

And I should mention that I took the foll steps so far:
1. Let the battery drain out completely and charge it overnight
2. Backed the phone, then reset the phone and restored from backup.
3. Took it to the apple store and they did a different kind of restore but no luck
The only thing left for me to try to is to reset it to factory setting unless some one can suggest some other way.

My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
