IPhone 3G OS 3.1 Upgrade Causing Push to Drain Battery
I have upgraded my 3G phone to 3.1 and, like may people have noted here, experienced a dramatic loss of battery life.
After reading many posts, it appears the Push function associated with my work email is the culprit.
I ended up deleting both work and personal email accounts. Then re-established work email account. Turned on push, battery drained in 4 hours with no usage whatsoever. Turned off push and battery life is normal again.
Anxiously awaiting a fix. 3.1 was a very windows-like release.
If the battery in an iPhone cannot handle the features that are on the phone, then we should have the battery replaced with something that can. I did not purchase this phone to sit on a charger all day, I thought it would be like any other phone where I can go days with not having to plug it in. Like a Blackberry. But no, I have a cradle at home, at work, and a cable in the car so it can be on charge all the time so it can make it through a single day. No worries about letting it drain completely every once in a while, it does that on it's own if it hasn't seen a charge in 3 hours.

IPhone 4 iOS 4.1 upgrade causing app crashes
So I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.1 a couple days ago. Since the upgrade I have noticed several apps suddenly close for no reason. I'll be browsing in an app, click a button and all of a sudden I'm at my phone's home screen with no explanation of why the app closed. Apps that are programed for multitasking remember where I was when I relaunch, so that helps.
Apps that I've taken note of as being "infected" are:
· The Default Mail Client
· Safari Web Browser
· Cars.com
· Engadget
· Joystick
· The Weather Channel
· Cnet
· Facebook
There may have been others, but I don't remember. It's getting frustrating because the phone just goes to the home screen.
I've reset settings, I've reset the phone. I'm not sure what else I can do and it seems like it's something in the iOS not the apps.
Anybody else experiencing this particular problem?kolobear wrote:
I don't want to do a restore. It's a pain to have to reorganize my folders and install all of my apps. It could take a couple hours to get everything back to the way I want it.
Is that time worth solving the issue of apps crashing? If it were happening to me, I would think so.
I will debate doing a restore from backup, but if I don't see an immediate need to restore, then I will deal with the issues until update 4.2 is released for iPhone.
It doesn't hurt to try doing a restore from backup. Takes no more than 30 minutes in most cases and everything will be just as it was, and perhaps without the crashing problem. You won't know if you don't try it, and this option has a very low risk of creating any further problems. Waiting around another 2 months for another update that may or may not fix your problem seems silly.
I don't want to mark this as "answered" yet. There is something wrong here with the release or in how itunes and my iphone handled the upgrade.
There's nothing "wrong" with the release, just how your phone handled the update. Problems sometimes do occur during software updates, and wiping the phone and doing a fresh restore will almost always cure a majority of problems. Had you called Apple or gone to a Genius Bar with this problem, I'll guarantee you that a restore would be #2 on their list of suggestions.
It is possible that some of the apps were experiencing problems. I received updates for about 5 apps this week. Since I'm new to iphone, I'm not sure the frequency that devs push out updates. The crashes are random and I don't always think to make a mental note of what was happening when the crash happened.
That depends on the Dev. Some of my apps are updated regularly. Others have been neglected for a year or more.
In the mean time, should you choose not to do a restore, all I can suggest is to reboot your phone often, keep an eye on the multitasking and keep the number of background apps to a minimum and to try deleting the offending apps from the phone and re-downloading them.
Good luck.

after upgrading to IOS 5.1 I no longer can see Verizon at the top of my Iphone and under settings>general>Network>says Not Available Why is this? Did the upgrade cause this?
steveSee this tip --> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it. -
Why is os 6 upgrade causing my iphone battery to drain?
Why has the os 6 upgrade caused my iphone 4 battery to drain unusually fast?
when I use the computer usb port to charge the battery, I found something strange:
battery indicator is showing 100% from my iphone within a hour
battery indicator is still showing "charging" from iTunes after two hours.
After two and half hours, the battery indicator is showing "charged" from the itunes.
The battery indicator might make you think your iphone's battery is fully charged from the iphone but it doesn't.
I had same problem from my 4s after upgarded to iOS 6 but Charged the battery overnight or more than two or three hours and it works fine now. -
Hello, my name is Karan Taneja and i have been a loyal Apple customer.
I have been using Apple since it introduced iphone 4 and have been upgrading/buying every new phone Apple introduces after that.
I was always happy and surprized to see Apple doing so good to its customers.
Unfortunately, i experienced some thing really unprofessional and different this time.
It begun suddenly one day when i tried to charge my phone, the phone was on silent mode and as usual the phone vibrated when i kept it for charge.
After a few seconds the phone vibrated twice or thrice again when i re-inserted the cable thinking it might be loose.
It continued to charge well when i left the room for 2 hours and finally when i returned i could see a damaged i phone 5
lying on the floor and the phone vibrating continuously and i figured out there was a fault with the cable and the
current wasnt flowing continuously due to which the phone continued to vibrate and fell off the shelf.
Next day i took the iphone to Apple service centre at Saket which was closed.
Thinking its August 15 and so the store might be closed i went back to home and waited for the next day but unfortunately could not turn up since
i had to go to work on odd timings.
I again went to the same service centre on 17th August 2013 and saw the service centre closed again when i tried to contact
the other service centre and was informed about Saket's service centre already been shut down.
There was no hoarding/ banner any kind of intimation for the customers.
Since 18th August was Sunday and i was occupied on 19th August i went to service centre at Ansal Plaza Khel Gaon Marg on
20th August 2013 to complaint about the Faulty Cable and the damaged caused to my iphone 5 due to the same.
I very well explained the same to one of the person at the receiving desk at the service centre who accepted the cable
but explained me that he doesnt have the authority to accept my iphone without permission from the technical support people
who will be able to help me in that case and gave me the toll free number.
i Tried to reach the toll free number and finally managed to get online with a technical support executives who too all my details and
summary of the problem i experienced and finally kept me on hold for almost 10 minutes ormore after which he said he said that my
case cannot be considered and while the discussion was on, the call was disconnected and i was left frustrated as i still was at the service centre
but finally i left with no hope from Apple .
I tried to reach again at the toll free number, and finally managed to talk to a well behaved person who assured me of considering my case and suggested
me to go back to the service centre and advice the the person at the recieving end there to get me connected to the technical support team when i reach so that i could
submit my phone but, since, it was already around 4:30 and the service centre was about to shut and due to traffic
conditions all around i thought of visiting the service centre next day.
On 21st August 2013, i went back to the service centre and spoke to the one of the store person who adviced the case to the manager Mr. Alok ( as i remember )
who was really rude to tell me that i will have to call the technical support team on my own and then he will connect and that its not his work and all that .
I finally connected to one of the senior technical support executives Mr.Mohamed Azharuddin K who understood my concern and spoke to the manager of the store to accept
my iphone.
My iphone was finally collected and i was assured i would get a call back next day from the service centre about the update.
It was now 22nd August 2013, no update was given,no call was received, i tried to call the service centre at 12:30, they were unaware about my case and knew only about the cable and said will call me
back very shortly.
I called back at 2:30, still no update, at 4:30 i called back again when i was told that my case cannot be considered and i can collect my phone.
Similar discussion was held with Mr.Mohamed Azharuddin K.
I knew by the time i will reach the service centre would again close.
He told me that my case cannot be considered since the cable was recieved in the dead condition and wasnt working at all unlike what i told him about the cable.
On 23th August 2013, i went back to the service centre and collected my phone. When i asked about my old cable and told them that it was working and i wanted the technician
to check it properly when i handed it over, they had no answer but to say its already shipped. I spoke to the manager who said that he never told any body that the cable
was received in dead condition and he only conveyed to other authorities that the cable had fault .
I finally dont know what to do and came back with the new cable.
I just visited my time, petrol and parking charges in getting the cable replaced.
If i calculated i have spent around 16 hours and 2000 worth of money in just getting the cable replaced and have a broken phone in hand.
More than a weeks torture.
Is that the way apple compensates for its fault ????????????????
I will make sure that i never buy any thing from Apple and advice all the people i know to not trust Apple blindly.Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly.
Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.
I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!! -
All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
Cheers! -
I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

I have ios7.1.2 on my iphone and am trying to upgrade to 8.0.2. I haven't installed 8 yet and when I try and upgrade nothing happens. It says ios8.0.2 improvements from 8.0.1 are available but not the whole ios. What to do?
It sounds like maybe 8.0.1 has downloaded onto your phone but not installed. You can check for it in Settings > General > Usage > Storage, Manage Storage. If it's there you should see it at the top of the list of apps. Swipe to delete it. 8.0.1 was pulled by Apple quickly after it was introduced due to issues and replaced by 8.0.2. Once it's deleted you should be able to download and install 8.0.2.

i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone. -
I am using Iphone 4 (not 4s) After upgrading to ios 5.0.1. is blocking. I live in Venezuela
I am using Iphone 4 (not 4s) After upgrading to ios 5.0.1. is blocking. I live in Venezuela
Without more information, I have to say it sounds like the phone you have was not legitimately unlocked, but had been hacked. Updating iOS will re-lock it to the original carrier.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
Where did you get the phone? -
My iPhone 4s keeps restrating after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2 and comes up with recovery mode.
My iPhone 4s keeps restrating after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2. I tried to restore for few times using iTunes and installed only 8 apps freshly from iTunes apps store. After restating the phone goes to recover mode every time. Last time it came up with a diagnostic massage with a big apple logo saying..'we are hanging there'. I am really frustrated with Apple coz my last mobile 3GS's network circuit was so poor that I could not use that to make call. However can any one help me with my iPhone 4s problem? I've no warranty left that's why I think apple will not help me any ways.
Try changing the channel on your router to manually select & use,the highest number channel available. After I did that I no longer had the problem.
