IPhone 3G Severe battery loss stopped on its own today

My iPhone 3G had some serious battery loss starting very late Friday / early Saturday and continuing through the weekend (9/19-9/20). Running the latest iTunes and firmware updates, etc. Happened to notice my service randomly switching back and forth between 3G and Edge during the morning of 9/20. Battery completely dead this morning 9/21 after charging 8 hours yesterday.
Today the battery has shown 100% all day and into the night after charging for a couple hours this morning. Other iPhone users have reported the same experience to me here North of Seattle.
My very amateur guess is AT&T messing around with their network was at fault.
Thanks for the "great servicing" AT&T. Please Sir, may I have it again?

I don't get the concept of having to turn off a bevy of things ( http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html ) to get the iPhone to work PROPERLY and how it should work. Turn off 3G, turn off this, don't check multiple emails, etc... They built this hardware to do all this, so why not put a battery in it that can handle it?
I have a Blackberry 8830 and I do not have to turn off anything to get it to last more than a day. In fact, it lasts about 6 days of normal use on a single charge. I have to have my iPhone on a charge the entire day just to get it through one day.

    Hey adinat,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I would go through the steps in the iPhone troubleshooting assistant and see if that resolves the issue you're experiencing on your iPhone 5:

  • SOA Server 11g (Weblogic instance) stopping on its own on Windows 2003 OS

    Hi,
    I am running SOA Server 11g (Weblogic instance) on Windows 2003 OS. The machine has 4 GB RAM and 1.8 GH CPU. The SOA Server (Java process) and Weblogic Admin Servers are stopping on its own. There are lo errors in the server log files. Please suggest if you have faces similar issues. I have installes Oracle Weblogic 11g and SOA Suite 11g on this machine. The same software runs fine on Windows XP OS.
    Thanks
    Subho

    Can you please provide more information:
    1. Which version of Windows Server 2003? 32 bit or 64 bit version?
    2. Which exact version of Weblogic and SOA Suite have you installed?
    3. How long do the servers run before they shutdown(do they even start properly before going down)?
    4. Make the stdout go to the server log and then see if you can find any errors.
    To do that you need to go to following under domain structure tree:
    Environment>Servers>{your admin server name} page
    in Logging tab, advanced section, Put a checkmark against following:
    Redirect stdout logging enabled
    Redirect stderr logging enabled
    Save and activate and then restart the server. This will log the JVM log information to the weblogic server log and hopefully you will be able to identify the issue.

  • Iphone 5 keeps switching to silent on its own

    My Iphone 5 is stuck on silent mode, or more accurately it keeps switching to silent on its own.
    The problem started about 2 days ago, after upgrading to iOS 7.1 last week. The phone keeps switching in and out of silent mode (without the button being touched) and mostly stays in silent. It's not a speaker problem, nor a settings problem, as I’ve checked every bit of online advice I could find. I tried restarting, resetting, restoring, cleaning the headphone jack, and nothing helps.
    An attempt to see if it’s a headphone related issue (by plugging and unplugging while restarting in various combinations) got it working fine for about 5 minutes, then it switched back to silent.
    Needless to say, the phone did not suffer from any physical damage prior to the problem.

    I have the identical problem, and it started when I upgraded as well.
    Trips to the AT&T store, and to Apple twice have not been able to solve. (Other than telling me for $300 they would replace it since my phone is 6 months past the 1 year warranty) All the resetting, wiping, even restoring to factory defaults using iTunes from the computer have failed. I finally had a tech open it and look at it, and it's pristine.
    I've suspected software since the problem started occurring, because it is so random, and the fact that the speaker, mic, headphone, etc... all work fine.
    Just while it's sitting on the desk, it will jump back and forth from silent to ring mode, but mostly stays in silent.
    I'm convinced this is a bug

  • RSD...just stops on its own?

    So about a month ago the dreaded RSD started happening to my macbook. I tried several times to make appointments to see a "Genius" at my apple store, however unless I wanted 11am or 1130am on any day I tried...I couldnt get in, and forget any times on the weekends...so I gave up, hoping apple would somehow solve this and give us all the answer ( hoping it was software based), then they said to call applecare as their "answer"...I cant get along with out my macbook, as I use it for my photography business, so sending it in, not an option. Then I noticed something in the last 2 plus weeks...it hasnt happened...at all, and ive rebooted a couple times, though I think maybe only twice...and nothing, no more RSD in the last 2 weeks.
    Anyone else have this happen...am I being to optomisitic??

    Mine started RSD for the first time, after 4 months of use, a week ago last Tuesday. Two of them, nothing more until today. But I wouldn't count today because it happened strictly in the context of the computer hanging up when coming out of sleep.
    I'm not convinced that there aren't two different causes, one hardware and one software/firmware for two different problems that have the same symptoms. Might it explained why fixed MacBooks come back and then unfix themselves.
    But if it's not in firmware, or you're version of the problem isn't in firmware, you're going to have to send it in eventually. Try and plan a vacation for it and notify your clients; hopefully you can limp along without too much RSD inconvenience for long enough to get things straightened out for your MacBook repair vacation.
    And for the last time RSD is misnomer. Sudden is fine, if everybody like to use that. But these are not RANDOM. They are intermittent. A certain set of criteria are met and the computer shuts down without the user directing it do so or without the existence of an emergency condition that would cause the computer for its own shut down. But they only appear random; they are not.

  • My iphone 4 types and moves etc on its own, and at times the left side of the phone does not work. Can anyone help me??, my iphone 4 types and moves etc on its own, and at times the left side of the phone does not work. Can anyone help me??

    I have an iphone 4S and it has been doing crazy things like typing on its own.  IT's like someone is shadowing my phone.  Also, the left side of the phone keys get frozen, any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Nothng worst when you need to call or text someone urgently and i can not do it as computer takes over... thank and have a wonderful day!!

    More than likely a failing display. You can try restoring it to see if that helps, but you'll probably have to have the phone replaced. make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • IPhone 4 Severe Battery Draw from 3G after iOS 6.1 update!!

    iPhone 4
    8GB Sprint
    iOS v6.1
    After updating to v6.0, my average battery life was cut by at least 20%.  Very noticeable.  I updated to v6.1 with hopes that this widespread issue was resolved only to find out that if my 3G is turned on, my phone is getting extremely hot and will die from a full charge after three hours.
    Has anyone else ran into this?  I have a colleague with a 4s who is having the same exact issue.
    Cheers

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Severe battery loss during sleep mode

    I have a brand new MBAir and I'm trully intrigued about the loss of batery happening during sleep mode. I've fully charged it on Friday, and, since then it's been on sleep mode. Today, finally turnign it on this night to work a bit, I found it has only 73% of charge! What can be happening? IMPORTANT: My "power nap" mode is OFF since I've bought it and started using and noticing this down charge. Can anyone help me?

    I've just solved it all when I noticed I kept plugged in my wireless mouse receptor. Just plug it out before leaving the MBA in sleep mode, and the problem was solved.
