    There is no reason that a brand new phone should be having problems. I would say return it for a new one because it's less then a week old or return it. It's unacceptable. I have been having software issues with my iPhone 3GS too. I feel that Apple did a half done job on the software and really failed to bring new features to their third gen. iPhone.

  • My new iPod touch is getting really warm while I use it. Is it normal? I mean, I have silicone cover, maybe it's the reason for iPod being so HOT?... How do you think, is it too important to have a cover on the iPod? How about screen protector? :S

    computer CPUs use very small wires that heat up when electricity is passed through them. Its actually one of the major limiting factors in miniaturization, making the wires too small and they melt.

    My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

    I had same issue, apple give me a new phone, they say it might be software problem, but the 2nd phone has fast drain too, I took it to apple , they restored my phone as new, and iCloud backed up my contact. I thought about the whole thing, I used to sync it to my window, but this time I synced it with my Mac. 87% at 3:30pm. I think that window has bugs. It is not my iPhone 5's problem. After all those stressful days.

    You could also check what it draining battery under settings > power management > battery usage. Check this when you have less then 30% battery left and you should have 3G enabled from 100% battery.

  • Update my iphone and now the battery drains very quickly

    update my iphone and now the battery drains very quickly

    my battery started draining after 4 or 5 hours on iPhone 4 8GB with little or no use. It was suggested in some of the threads I consulted that it might be related to a server malfunction on an email account, and to delete the account, hard boot the phone, and re-install the account, Sure enough, this worked for me. Charged at 100% at 11pm and got up next morning at 6am at 100% ( turned the email push notifications to OFF as well ) The previous 2 days I would get up and there would be less 10% battery life. A few days before this problem started my email provider had a server issue with Outlook, I couldnt get emails to and from that account to load on my iphone, so I suspect that this was the problem; iphone and or email provider was still trying to get those emails and this was causing the drain.

  • IPhone 5 battery drains very quickly

    I've had an iPhone 5 for about a year and a half and it all of a sudden started draining really quickly.  Without using it outside of a few texts, it is at 50% by noon.  With use, it easily completely drained by then.  Also, I have noticed a few odd things regarding charging my phone: I receive  a "this accessory is not meant for this device and may not charge" error and when plugged into my car charger, it alternates between charging and not charging rapidly, just making the battery drain even faster.  I replaced the car charger, and no longer have this problem, but recently had the same problem when trying a new external portable charging source.  I've stopped using the particular cord that gave me the error, and think this has solved the problem.  Just mentioning both these issues as I've never had problems with them before.
    Here are the things I've tried to fix the problem:
    Tested battery at Apple.  First time was deemed okay, the next week they said it was borderline failing (80%). 
    Replaced the battery by buying a battery online ($25, and relatively well rated).  Continued to see problems.
    Updated settings (remove location services, switch off bluetooth and wifi, turn off push for all email accounts, you name it I've tried it).  Although I tried these things, I did have a phone with all these settings turned on for a year and a half and still had a battery that would last me through the day, so I don't think settings alone are the problem.
    Restored phone to factory settings (not to previous iphone back up).  This was to address any software bugs that could be causing the problem.
    Replaced battery with a second battery bought online (bought the highest rated battery I could find). 
    Took phone into iPhone repair store.  They looked at the inside of the phone and said it looked good.  Replaced battery again. 
    After all of this, my battery still drains super quickly.  I do not think it the battery since I've replaced it three times and don't think it is the software since I did a restore to factory settings. 
    Does anyone have any idea what it could be?  I've tried everything I could think of and need to squeeze another 5 months out of this phone until I'm eligible for the upgrade.  Right now I have an external battery pack, but this is a bit of a pain to charge and carry around. 
    A friend of a friend has had some similar issues and they said they had the lightning connector replaced, and it solved the problem.  Anyone have any experience with this?
    Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I have been round and round with Apple "geniuses" trying to resolve battery drainage issues. I have turned off all kinds of background programs, reset the phone and even did a full restore. Nothing worked. The end result was an Apple senior technician just giving up and telling me that the battery life I'm getting is "good." I don't see how that's the case since I used to go to work, use my phone and come home with battery power still in the 70s or 60s if I was really active. Now with most everything turned off, I come home with battery power in the 30s and sometimes even the 20s, just barely hanging on to operational status. I now have to carry my charger around with me and charge this hunk of junk every opportunity I get. The diagnostic on the battery shows it to be fine which is not surprising considering I take very good care of my phone. I had no issues until installing that battery sucking virus known as iOS 8.1. I am so utterly disappointed with Apple that I will never buy any of their junk products again. I am especially angry at being told that the life I'm getting is somehow "good." I imagine that no one actually tested iOS 8.1 before rolling it out. They finished the last line of code and immediately issued it to the public. My interactions with Apple Support confirm that they only care about people who have purchased their latest product. Have an iPhone 5? Too bad! You need to get the iPhone 6 to continue enjoying your Apple experience. Screw their overpriced crap.

  • BlackBerry Q5 - battery drains very quickly even in standby

    I have been using my Q5 for approx. 18 months (only texting, BBM, and FB) Last week the battery was fully charged and then within one hour it was drained while on stand by. First issue with charging - normally I could go at least three days without a charge. Now a charge does not last one hour. As it is a non removeable battery I cannot remove and put back in. Any suggestions?

    First:
    Restart: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, press and hold the upper edge power button about 20-30 seconds, ignore the 3-2-1 timer and hold until the screen goes black and you see the red LED.
    or
    Reboot: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, using the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
    Now, see if the batttery drain remains a problem.
    Second, to find the source of battery drain:
    Open your Settings > App Manager > Device Monitor
    - At the top set the drop down to last 24 or 48 hours
    - What the top 3-4 apps/processes and percentages are that are using your battery most?
    - At the bottom, tap the CPU and what are the top 3-4 apps or processes and their percentages using the CPU?

  • My iPhone 5 gets really hot and eats up battery with cellular turned on. Is this normal?

    The battery just went from a full charge to 40% in 3 hours and all I've done's go on instagram, some light browsing and texting. I just updated to 6.1.3, can't tell if it's the firmware cause I just got my data plan and started leaving cellular turned on. There's no LTE here or anything if that changes anything.

    I had same issue, apple give me a new phone, they say it might be software problem, but the 2nd phone has fast drain too, I took it to apple , they restored my phone as new, and iCloud backed up my contact.

  • Dropped my iPhone 5 battery draining very quickly

    Hi All,
    I dropped my iPhone 5 from about 2 feet yesterday evening (had a cover on) everything seemed to be working fine.
    I was going to bed at around 12.30 the battery had 52% charge. Today morning I woke up at 6 am and the battery was completely drained out.
    This is the second or third time I've dropped it. Could the falling down be a reason for the battery to drain out ?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    - Paul

    Thank you I will try this. I am giving this phone to my husband so no info on it is fine. However I am getting a 4s on a new contract - can I put my backup onto new iPhone or is there a problem with that. Sorry if silly question I am a novice!!

  • I have a IPhone 5 thats having screen separation and my battery drains very fast

    I have a Iphone 5 that was kept in a otter box when I noticed my phone wasnt holding charge as long. I removed the case to see that the screen was separating from the body and as of now the phone wont turn on at all.

    Take the device to Apple for evaluation.    

  • My new iphone 5S battery drains very quickly

    I just purchased an iphone 5S in January 2014, but the airdrop was not working and the phone was not recognizable to anyone else. Other than that it was great. I took it to the Apple store and they determined that it was some sort of bug and unfixable so they gave me a "new" iphone 5S.  airdrop worked immediately and I was on my way.  This "new" phone seems to start draining the battery as soon as I take it off the charger.  I use it for 5 minutes , check email, write a quick email, and 5% is gone immediately.  It drains much faster than my first phone.  Is there anything I can do or reset to fix this issue.  Rarely does my phone's battery last the entire day and I am not a heavy iphone user.
