If my iPhone battery dies in about 2 hours do i have a bad battery?
My iPhone has an awful bettery and i have to charge it all the time while Apple workers say they chargers theirs every few days. I have all the extra stuff turned off (wifi, bluetooth, etc...). I want to know can i get that fixed with the waranty?
If it's in warranty, then yes.

I have a MacBook Pro made in mid 2009. A fully recharged battery dies in about 2 hours. Is this a systems issue or do I have to replace the battery? The battery has about 100 cycles on it.
Try a SMC reset:

If this is an original battery, even with a low cycle count, it is old and probably should be replaced.

Hi guys i had been an iPhone 5 user for about 3 years and i have recently swapped over to a samsung s4 i dont know if this was a good idea any assistance or light in the right direction would be appreciated?
Sorry i correct myself i had been an iPhone user for about 3 years. My last Apple iPhone was an iPhone 5. I am getting used to things with the Samsung but really think the extra features such as smart stay and scroll are coverting humans into robots. The configuration of the features is also difficult as it detects your eye movement so if the movement is out of place even the slightest the feature will not function. I think the ios user interface is simple in comparison to the android user interface. Any views are appreciated? I have many friends also using HTC and prefer it in comparison to the iPhone and Galaxy but as raymond73 mentioned choice is a wonderful thing.

Is it normal for iPhone 5 to take about 4 hours and 15 minutes to completely charge from 0%?
My iPhone 5 takes just over 4 hours to completely charge from a complete battery drain. I am very curious as to whether or not this is normal or abnormal? My previous device was the Droid Razr Maxx HD which took about 2 hours to completely charge. Am I stressing over nothing?
From the horse's mouth: http://www.apple.com/batteries/
"Most lithium-ion polymer batteries use a fast charge to charge your device to 80% battery capacity, then switch to trickle charging. That’s about two hours of charge time to power an iPhone to 80% capacity, then another two hours to fully charge it, if you are not using the iPhone while charging. You can charge all lithium-ion batteries a large but finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle." -
I have 2 blue pixels on my new iPhone 6. Is this common or do I have a bad phone?
I have a new iPhone 6 and I noticed two pixels that are blue on the screen (defective). Is this normal or do I have a bad phone?
This is not normal, of course. I'm not sure though, how many defective pixels it takes to replace a screen or a device. Suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store to have it examined and they will make a determination.

pleasee someone help i neeed to find it!!! and at&t are a bunch of crooks and wont help!!
To amplify what Tim said - having the Find My iPhone app on your device is not going to activate the service. That's an app that's just used to connect to the iCloud server and lets you locate the device, if it's "on the grid" as they say, and the sim hasn't been removed. But you just turn on the Find My iPhone service by going into settings. You don't even have to have the app on your iPhone to make the service work.

My iphone 4s battery dies after a few hours after upgrading the software
My iphone battery dies after approximately 4 hours (with no use) after I upgraded to ios6 and, the phone heats up. This has been going on for about a month now and I've tried everything. Unfortunately, employees at the Apple store flat out refused to help noting, 'oh, just try restarting it, ios 6 doesn't have any flaws' (I've tried multiple times). Needless to say, 4 hours is not enough to warrant keeping a phone so if anyone has any (free) ideas, I would appreciate them greately. Thank you.
Any ideas on what I can do?

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre but they refused to repair it after confirming the problem with the device as it was out of warranty and asked me to get it replaced for INR 22500. I got it repaired outside but after that also if I switch it off in the same situation it again happens and I have to take it for repair it has happened 3 times after that. Is it a inherent problem in iPhone that it uses battery even when switched off and if in that case battery drain out then refuse to get charged because this is the scenario i have experienced every time?
Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one. -
i have pulgged my phone in and i've been waiting about two hours now and it hasnt turned on when it is saying it is charging. What should i do? is it broken?
Hi there ella_dunne,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

I bought my iPhone 5 almost an year ago and since the last 2 weeks my battery lasts about 2 hours or less, while before it lastre a whole day. Can anybody tell me why is this happening or how can i solve my problem, please? Thank you.
You can follow these steps to save battery.
1. Turn on Auto-Brightness - The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when there's more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
2. Reduce Screen Brightness -the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
3. Stop Motion (iOS 7) -It's really cool, but it also drains battery. You may want to leave it on to enjoy the effect, but if not, turn it off this way:
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> move slider to green/on
4. Turn Bluetooth Off- Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
5. Turn Off Location Services -
This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
6. Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)-
If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your battery better:
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Updates -> move slider to off/white
7. Auto-Lock Sooner -
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
Few more things that would consume battery even when not is use are the applications that run in background.
Follow the below steps to quit all running applications.
1) Double tap on the home button on the iPhone ( this will display all apps that are running in the back ground).
2) Just click on the tiny red X to quit application ( if iPhone is running on iOS 6 and below) else just swipe yhour finger over the running app upwards to quit ( if running on iOS7). -

i unplugged my iphone 3gs ios 5.1.1 and started playing..i played for about 2 hours,BUT the battery didnt change!!!...after about 4 hours,the phone suddenly shuts down...i recalebrated the battery (by hard reset)..but didnt help...so HELPPP PLZZZ!!!!!!!..+ when i charge my iphone, i dont see the lightning bolt,instead, i see a plug icon...i know this means th@ battery is full, but my battery is no where near full!!!!!
Just a quick update with a couple more details before I go to work:
I left my phone plugged into the wall charger all night long but the Apple logo is still blinking on and off. However, when unplugged from the charger, the screen goes blank and the unit does not respond to pressing/holding the buttons at all. Likewise, flipping the mute switch does not cause the phone to vibrate as it normally would, which made me wonder if power was being disrupted somewhere else in the unit before the battery. I just finished disassembling the unit down to the battery, looked for any loose connections etc., and did spot a suspicious looking spot on top of the #5 ribbon connector that I had not taken notice of before in my first disassembly. I'll take a picture of it and post a link for your consideration later on today when I have a spare moment, although I fear the worst. -
My iPhone 4 froze when I was using the Facebook app. The only thing moving is the indicator at the top spinning to show its "thinking." Its been like this for about an hour, I can't even turn it off. Any ideas (other than letting the battery go dead)?
Thank you, I've tried that but it won't work either, the logo never comes up. It just stays on the FB app screen. I tried connecting to iTunes to see if I can fix something from there and it freezes iTunes. Also tried disconnecting the wifi (I don't know how I thought that would help but worth a try) and plugging it into the charger but still nothing. I think I'll have to visit the store tomorrow. I appreciate it, though!
