Iphone 3G 3.0 update - battery life indicator

My battery life indicator is frozen at full after update to version 3.0 - its not moving and will just randomly die...it says its full when charging too - does anyone else have this problem/any ideas? Thanks

I have this problem also since V3 - but it is just a display problem, the actual battery life is fine. It most commonly fails to recharge (on the display menubar) though the display on full-screen is fine. A reset restores it but the problem will recur.
More seriously the same problem affects phone connection; we are near the edge of coverage and the menubar will show 'no coverage' even in a strong signal until the phone is reset (it never changes on its own). Sometimes it seems this is true (that is the phone does not connect) other times it seems just the display.

  • Any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life after upgrading to iOS 7.1?

    Hello
    I am curious to know if any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life compared to iOS 7.x.x.? That will be great to know before I upgrade and give up my JB .
    Thanks!

    Really, that's quite an assertion. I'm sure you can prove those stats; but  my apologies,  I forgot that Apple produces flawless product.
    I can only report MY SYMPTOMS: iPhone 4S 32M on VZW, upgrade to iOS 7.0 at the end of February (when security flaw was announced), after which my battery life is about 1/2 what it used to be before the upgrade.
    Also, as reported above, when I upgraded to iOS 7.0 my phone would lock (in phone mode); had uncommanded  reboots; and severely degraded battery life.  Two days ago, upgraded to iOS 7.1.  Most screen "touch" issues appear resolved; and uncommanded reboots resolved.
    Battery life / duration still poor; still charging every 4-5 hours.
    Previously with  normal use (with no location services) could run a full day, about 8 hours before recharge. Now, same situations, I'm having to recharge after 4-5 hours.  Again, no new apps, all apps are current; no different usage.
    What's the resolving fix?

  • Battery life indicator?

    Is there a more 'in depth' battery life indicator anywhere?
    The battery icon top left isn't that accurate- i'd like to be able to see how much in terms of time i have left- is that do-able?
    Can't find anything in settings...
    Also- is there a 'home' shortcut for Safari do you know?

    There are utilities for other phones that do this. Yes, it's useful.
    Some are pretty simple: just look at the current average discharge rate and level, then figure out the remaining time. Pretty much like your car's computer telling you how many miles of gas are left at your current rate of consumption.
    Pretty neat to watch the remaining time change as you turn on/off features.
    One thing that surprises me is that no iPhone tech site has yet put a meter in line with the battery to find out once and for all how much power the different radios / features actually use. I've done calculations, but they're pretty rough. I mean, I've seen people claiming that WiFi uses more power than EDGE, and I don't believe it, unless they simply do more surfing because the WiFi is faster.

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half

    After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half
    Mail is 44% of the battery - I get about 300 emails through MSexchange and 25 through hotmail and .25 from cogeco.
    Home & Lock Screen is 19%
    Phone is 14%
    Calendar 11%
    Is there a bug in mail or is it just too much volume?

    I see the same thing after upgrading to ios8 on my iphone 4S.
    In my case, Mail is 76% of my activity. Disabling my mail accounts allows me to go back to my once a day charging routine. Otherwise, my battery runs down from 100% to 9% in 3.5 hours. I have two mail accounts. One exchange based the other is gmail.

  • Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using?

    Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using? So in 2 hours, 24 minutes usage and 15 hours, 17 minutes  in standby mode, the battery became 68%...

    sounds plausable
    also you can't really 100% trust it's batt% batteries are an analog technology the only thing the iphone can judge how much batt is left is by measuing amp amount the batt is producing and then over time estimating how long before it's zore
    but anyway Its not wise to not put a battery for charge before bed when it's 12%
    if your reason is you think it's good for batteries to be empty before charging then you believe in a myth and in the process damaging the battery in your ios device

  • Apple Bluetooth headset battery life indicator drops VERY rapidly

    hi all. Just bought the apple Bluetooth headset yesterday. After it is fully charged the battery life indicator drops to half after only being on stanby for about 15 minutes. I tried fully draining it and recharging but no difference. Is this normal? Thanks.

    Same issue on two "old" (with dock) Apple BT Headsets purchased on 3G release day. Returned and exchanged for 2 "new" ones (no dock, $30 refund) two weeks later. The new headsets have the same abysmal battery life. Note, however, that the battery life indicator is not terribly accurate - after dropping into the red by the end of the day, if left on standby mine doesn't actually run out of power and shut down for almost 48 hours.
    IMHO, if you like the easy pairing and can charge your Apple BT Headset at some point during the day (I used one of the $30 refunds to buy an extra travel cable for work), keep it. If you need to go all day and use the headset heavily, get a different brand.
    Hope this helps...

  • E75 poor battery life indicator

    Hello-
    Has anyone experienced problems with the battery meter (and battery life in general) on the E75?  I consistantly have half to 3/4 charge then the meter drops drastically to about 2 bars, then dies shortly after.  This has become increasingly annoying as I never really know how long the phone has left, and have to constantly keep it on the charger.
    Thanks 

    I have the same issue. The battery life indicator just isn't accurate at all.
    However, my battery life so far so good, it lasts 2 days on average, sometimes 3 days if low number of calls/sms.
    I found out it's 2 contributors that affect the battery life tremendously. 1 is if bluetooth is left constantly on, it drains battery quite fast. 2 is if I enable my Notes Traveler to auto-sync which utilize the 3.5G data connectivity, it drains battery extremely fast. Less than a day the battery life would be low and requires charging.
    Looks like this phone isn't giving good battery life if running heavy data connnectivities.

  • I'm in Paris and have my iPhone 4S and it loses battery life so fast in a matter of hours? I have AT

  • Iphone 5 shuts down when battery life still shows 10% left

    Install iOS7 on iphone 5 and the device will power down sometimes when it still shows 10-20% battery life then not power back on, while displaying that it should be plugged in. Also the phone will sometimes jump from 20% life down to something like 1-3% on the indicator  in mere seconds and powers off shortly thereafter.
    Basically the phone gets down to what shows as 20% battery life and may shut down at any point after that....

    This could be because the battery has not been properly calaberated try the link below. http://www.apple.com/nz/batteries/iphone.html

  • OS Update & Battery Life Problem

    I thought I would throw in my two cents worth of iPhone 4 OS update. I'm experiencing many of the same problems that other folks have reported on the discussions boards...battery draining, apps closing while using them, etc. My phone is basically rendered useless at this point. I went to the apple store and their solution was to sell me a new battery for $79.00.  I said no-way, there was nothing wrong with my phone prior to the OS update and immediately after the update is when I stared having problems, so no, it's not the battery. The apple store clerk changed the settings on my phone, changed auto-lock from 4 minutes to 1 minutes, changed all my mail accounts from push to fetch, changed locations settings and any other settings that might have an impact on battery life. It helped a little bit, but did not put the phone back to the way it was prior to the OS install.
    I find it hard to believe that apple put out a product without first throughly testing it to make sure it would work on the million cellphones already out there.
    I really hope apple is listening and reading the message boards because they need to come out with a fix for this problem before people dump their iPhones in search of a phone that actually works. Can you say Blackberry?
    Thanks for listening to me vent.

    I am having the exact same problem! Mine was at 80% last night before I went to sleep and was dead again for the second night in a row. I am thinking about resorting. These last few updates released have been the worst ever! I almost missed an appointment yesterday morning but luckily today is Sunday and it was dead again. Have you had any luck yet?

  • Please help. iPhone 5s stuck on 67% battery life.

    I Bought my husband a white iPhone 5c yesterday for his birthday. Last night he put it on the charger and it fully charged to 100%. Today, it got down to 67% and hasn't moved since about 2 pm today. It's now 8:39pm. It will show that it ran ouT of battery life and show the screen with the battery and little lightening bolt. When he plugs it up it will turn right back on to 67%. We have tried the reset, (hold home button & lock button) it did not help. Now, we're trying to run it down. And it's actually coming down. We are playing music threw a aux cord, have wifi & Bluetooth on and it jumped to 43%. Does anyone know what causes this ? And what can help it? I feel awful cause I just bought the phone yesterday. And it's already acting up.

    It's probably the battery indicator, not the battery itself.  Run it down until it shuts down automatically.  Ignore any low battery alerts that appear.  Then, charge it overnight with the 10W charger.  That should clear things for you.

  • Iphone; best practice for better battery life

    Okay, I've searched other threads and can't really find anything definitive on all this. I've found my battery life to be disappointing; I can go one and a half days without wi-fi or bluetooth turned on before it turns off.
    1) Is it true that when I press and hold the 'home' key while in an application the application 'quits.' If so, is this more likely to save battery life? Does an application ever really 'quit?' It strikes me that it doesn't.
    2) If move from safari to home without quitting is that safari page still loading, and thus sucking up battery life ?
    3) If I hold the sleep and home keys at the same time I am able to turn off my iphone. What is the advantage of doing this at all? Has anyone experimented with turning the phone off at night? If so, has anyone noticed a better battery life? Is the iphone even meant to be turned off?
    4) Should I be turning off the iphone to charge it once in a while; the other threads I've read seem to indicate no, however, I thought I would open this up again.

    I believe you directed this at me: I called them...I do not have an apple store within a reasonable distance. They sent the loaner phone in a box, waived my rental fee. I sync my phone took out the sim card and put it in the loaner phone, syncd the loaner phone and had all my stuff. put my phone in the box, fed ex picked it up the next day. I tracked it on the apple repair site, it said they were running diagnostics that same day and the next the web site said replacement phone sent and it got to me in a brand new nice little apple box like the original, only smaller. None of the accessories were sent in or replaced. Hope that answers your question.
    Good Luck!

  • My Iphone 4S has far less battery life since before I downloaded IOS 7.1,  Is there a bug in this IOS that wears the battery down faster?

    Since I downloaded IOS 7.1 my phone (4S) battery won't last more than eight hours and takes three or four hours to charge.  There must be a bug in this IOS that affects battery life.
