  • Is the Iphone 5 Battery Life really bad?

    I'm planning to get a Verizon Iphone 5 but I'm a little hesitant because of all the battery life complains I read in the internet, is it true that the battery loses 10% charge every 15 minutes under normal usage?! does the battery life lasts only for 5 hours maximum and not the 8+ hours as Apple said? please help me.

    it is true very bad battery

  • Battery life is decreased after upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.

    I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 to OS X Mountain Lion from Lion 10.7.4.
    It has great new features, but my battery perfomance seems to be degraded after I have installed it.
    Any suggestion for getting around it?

    Hi, I posted earlier that my battery had been reduced by 50%. It is approximately one week since I installed the Mountain Lion. My battery is actually back to normal now! I got almost 11 hours on my macbook Air 13" i7 yesterday (minimal use). Which is about the same as before the upgrade. So it seems that the system needs a couple of days to adjust/index/whatever..
    The system is working perfectly now, including my battery

  • Battery life greatly decreased after ios 5.0.1 update on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S

    Really disappointing considering my iPad 2 battery life used to be great, lasting up to a week with no recharge necessary.  Now my iPad battery life drops 1% every few minutes of casual use.
    My iPhone 4S battery life under ios 5.0 used to be decent and could hold the charge well when idle only losing 1% every few hours as long as it was just sleeping.  Now I am losing 10 - 15% every few hours when it is just sleeping.  When I surf the net, I lose 1% each minute! This is with pretty much every battery wasting feature turned off except Siri.
    I'm not sure how Apple managed to exacerbate a problem affecting tens of millions of people around the world with a fix that they've had weeks to test.  I mean they could've just emailed me and asked me to test it before they released it to the public, I could've told you within a few minutes that it didn't work.
    Apple consistenly have problems with each new iPhone release.  They just can't seem to get it 100% right.  The camera, antenna and speed have vastly improved over the iPhone 4, but arguably the most important feature has taken a nose dive in quality.  I can't believe they marketed this phone as having IMPROVED battery life?  I don't think one person will agree that that is an accurate statement.

    Do you have wifi syncing turned on? Is your itunes always open?
    There is a glitch with the iPad where, as long and anytime iTunes is open, it'll sync...like once an hour or some such rate.
    Originally the wifi syncing was only supposed to take place if the device is plugged into power, but that's not the case. If I have my iTunes open my iPad will try to sync almost continuously.
    So check your wifi sync and iTunes settings (my iTunes used to be set to open automatically when the device is connected, I had to change it to only open when I do it manually because in the course of an evening's surfing my iPad opened my iTunes and started to sync three different times until I turned it off)
    If you have iCloud syncing enabled that may also be contributing to your battery issues. I don't sync over iCloud, I tried it but after it ate all my contacts, I stopped using it. However, if the same glitch is present, the device trying to continually sync even when not plugged into power, that could also be part of your drain.

  • IPhone 3gs Battery life with 3.1 firmware

    Any news regarding battery life with firmware 3.1???? I have lost at a minimum 25% after upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.1. Have reset....the device alone and with iTunes....Need help...

    I originally posted this in the wrong discussion...
    Since upgrading to 3.1, it looks like the biggest battery drain is due to using PUSH with my Exchange email. I can turn off PUSH, use FETCH (even over 30 minute polling intervals) and battery life is close to 24 hours on a charge. Turning on PUSH, but not using it for email (other than my .Mac account (MobileMe), decreases the life by a couple of hours, still well beyond the normal 10 hour work day.
    Turning PUSH on for 3 Exchange folders (Inbox and 2 sub folders) results in a drastic reduction in battery life. It can use over 50% charge while on standby... over a 3 hour period. I've managed this to an acceptable (8-12 hours, depending on phone calls) by limiting using Exchange rules to keep most important email to the Inbox and one sub-folder (I may eventually leave all important stuff to the Inbox) and move other stuff into different folders that I can still check on occasion.
    Other PUSH activities, using apps like BeejiveIM, AP News, MLB.com, i.TV and even .Mac don't seem to affect the phones battery life too badly.
    I'm wondering if Exchange w/PUSH is doing too much, besides listening for new mail and alerting on it. Could the process be simplified to only listen, alert, and mayby increment the count (not downloading headers or message bodies until one actually checks for messages... the iPhone still polls once you open a mail folder anyway).

  • IPhone 4 battery still draining fast after ios 5.0.1 update

    5.0.1 update did not help, my battery still drains just as fast as it did on 5.0. My phone used to last 2 days no problem, now it lasts about 6 hours, I could go to bed at 5% and wake up with 3%, now if I got to bed with 25% it's dead by morning. I have all iCloud services turned off, only Maps turned on for location services, notifications for Phone, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, CNBC RT and Words Free. I have 2 email accounts, one is a pop3 and the other Exchange, both are set to pull every hour and preview is turned off. Is the issue with notifications? the only thing that has changed from 4 to 5 is I have notifications turned on and my reminders & tasks are synced with Exchange. I'm starting to think the issue is with notifications, I tried to turn off email notifications for the lock screen but they still show up.
    Are we getting another update after 5.0.1 soon for the continued battery drain issue?
    Email notifications continue to display for locked screen even though the option says Off, is there something else I'm missing?

    Do we really need another thread, with over 7,000 posts already on other threads?

  • IPhone 6 battery life draining since 8.1 update

    Is anyone else having problems with their iPhone 6 battery life diminishing since the latest 8.1 update? I notice I'm getting much less usage time per hour. For example, before 8.1, it would take about 3 hours of usage time to get to 70%. Now it only takes 2 and it gets worse after that. Here is a screenshot I took of the battery usage before the 8.1 update:
    This is pretty normal usage timings for me (it was taken Monday, October 20th). Now, here is a screenshot from today, after starting out with 100% this morning:
    As you can see, it's quite a huge difference. The weird thing is that messaging seems to take up more battery life than it used to. Yes, I do text quite a bit during the day but the frequency of this has not changed between now and October 20th. It shouldn't be using THAT much battery life. I took it to the Genius Bar yesterday to ask them about this problem and the girl told me that she saw some crashing from the Messages app in Diagnostics Information and she felt that maybe since the update, there was something causing that app to use more battery. So she suggested erasing the phone and restoring from an iCloud backup. I did this yesterday when I got home but, as you can see, the problem is no better (though there are no more crashes listed in the diagnostics information).
    I have no idea what else I can do to fix this and I'm getting really tired of having to charge this twice a day now (I used to have to do this with my iPhone 5, as well). If anyone has had a similar problem, I would appreciate suggestions. And before you ask, I'm doing all of the normal battery saving tricks, like turning off background app refresh, not having it check for mail all the time (it's manual), brightness is down, I turn wifi off when not using it, I don't leave apps open, etc etc etc.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
    Pooja

    I turn off background refresh, mail push/fetch, and I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them. I also minimize which apps use location services. Even when doing all of that though, the battery life became terrible on 8.1. Since updating to 8.1.1 all issues seem to have been fixed so I'm very grateful for that. I recommend anyone on 8.1 who is having issues to upgrade to 8.1.1 immediately.

  • HT4137 My battery life is bad.....not getting long on full charge. How do I trouble shoot to see if it's a problem with the battery?

    How do I determine if my battery life is bad??

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • My battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2.  How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

    I have iphone 5; my battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2.  How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

    Downgrading the iOS isn't supported and wouldn't help even if you could.   There have been reports of decreased battery life after every update since iOS 1.0.1. 
    There are lots of things that can be done including reinstalling push email accounts. basic phone reset (pressing both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears), and restoring the phone with and without a backup.

  • My Battery is GREAT after upgrading to IOS5.1 I had to do a restore as new phone.

    After upgrading to IOS5.1 my battery performance did not get better.  After doing a restore as a new phone, it is working VERY WELL!  I suggest if you are still having problems after upgrading, resto

    I suggest turning off locations services, wifi, turn on "Auto brightness", and under Diagnostics & Usage, tick "don't send". By doing this I have increase my battery life from less than one day, to almost two days now.  It doesn't seem to be a huge secret that the more apps using locations services, or sending data every 15 minutes tends to use up the battery really fast. I don't care if someone posts on facebook, or twitter, I don't want anyone tracking my phone, I don't use iCloud. But I do text alot, I check email about every 4 hours or more, and I do rack up some time on the internet.

  • HT1212 iPhone 4 refuses to startup and after upgrading to IOS 7 Please help!

    As my iPhone 4 keyboard was very slow after upgrading to IOS 7, I used the option "Reset All Settings" as suggested in a forum. Now my iPhone 4 refuses to startup and I get the apple logo with a line underneath it for over 24 hours! Please help

    Yes it did after a few plug/unplugs of USB. I gave in and tried to restore the iPhone and all seemed to go well for a while, however, after verifying the restore, the iPhone got switched off. When I switched it on, it went into restore mode again! Perhaps a very bad decision to upgrade to IOS 7. Will keep at it and try restoring again as I badly need for tomorrow and post out if I find anything worthwhile.
    Meanwhile, thanks very much for your quick responses wiseJD.
    Cheers.

  • Battery drains after upgraded to ios5

    battery drains after upgraded to ios5 my iphone4

    With iOS 5.0 battery life was terriable. Apple quickly fixed it with 5.01.  Now with 5.1 battery life is back to terrible.  I could go at least two days without a charge.  After the update (and all my patterns and behaviors being the same), I don't even get a full day!  Apple needs to fix this! Or allow us to go back to iOS 5.01.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

  • HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

    Can someone help?  I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

    I have iphone 3 GS.  I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed.  All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone.  It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc.  when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again".  Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up.  Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed.  I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing.  don't know what's wrong with it.
