Iphone 4 Battery problem ios 6.0.1

I bought an iphone 4 with ios 5.11 on ebay, there are few pixels do not working, the speaker is faulty and the power button is not working. Yesterday I updated to iOS 6.0.1, and now the battery is defective. The iphone boots again and again and when it comes again, then only at the socket. and the battery says 1 or 2% of the full battery symbol. I also restored it twice
there is a reason for an exchange at apple? (The warranty is expired)

There are loads of posts about this all over forums.  It's an ios6 issue.  If your battery was fine before ios6 then I doubt you need to replace it.

  • What's wrong with my iphone 4 battery after ios 7 ?

    Literally:
    What's wrong with my iphone 4 battery after ios 7 ?
    I've tried all tuning tricks - nothing changed.

    This is not a current feature of any iphone, it never has been! I've heard that there are apps in the app store that allow you to transfer contacts but i'm not sure about anything else! Again you would need to look in the appstore, but again it will be very specific to that app if there are any at all!

  • Iphone 4s battery problems PLEASE HELP

    I got my 4s about a week ago. The first couple of days i noticed the battery would go down pretty quick. So i looked online and seen all these different ways to save battery life by switching the settings around. I did all of the recommended changes ( location, brightness, etc.) i had already charged the phone the same way i would charge any phone before i read the full discharge full recharge. I did that two nights in a row and since then i let it get to atleast 2% before i charge it. Last night i put it on the charger around 20% maybe a little more and it definatley overcharged for an hour or two before i took it off. When i go to work i leave it in my locker and go on it during breaks. Normally it would never change the % while on standby and it would go down 1 maybe 2% while i use it. Today by the time it was lunch break it was down to 80%. As i type this my battery is at 64% with 2 hours and 31 minutes usage and 16 hours, 5 minutes of standby.
    What happened to it? It bothers me so much cause i love the phone and it was doing good until today.
    I JUST NOTICED that there is a new software update iOS 5.1.1. Could this sudden battery problem have occured because i am running older software??!!

    You've probabaly just installed and left running more applications. Applications dont entirely close when you hit the home screen. You've probabaly notice when you turn on your phone you have to wait through the loading screen for many applications. After that they sit on the memory of the phone, and the phone uses some battery retaining the state of each application. In Stand-By and still when powered down, your battery will slowly drain (less so when powered down).
    You may want to start force closing apps or occasionally powering down your iPhone. Additionally, the battery is not a NiCad battery where you can't charge it when it's at 80% or you'll risk causing the "battery memory" to max at 80%. The iPhone batteries are fine to be charged when they're at 95%. That said, Apple does recommend dispersing the battery to 0% atleast once a month. These batteries do have a battery charge cycle, ie: after so many charges the drain will begin to occur, but it's alot better than say your R/C car battery, or your typical rechargable triple 'A' battery.
    On another note, I do recommend you run the latest updates, if there ever is a battery issue and they know about it, they'll try to address the issue.

  • Iphone 6 battery drain ios 8.1.2

    Tormented by Battery Life
    IOS 8.1.2 upgrade caused it
    iPhone 6 64GB Grey battery constantly drains now, from full charge at 7 am it will die around 2 pm with minimum or no use.
    It even drains while on standby, no serious culprits the phone was setup as new and all apps are upto date downloads form app store
    The phone and apps worked fine before it,
    Post update did the following so far
    Soft Reset
    Hard Reset with Restore all backup from cloud
    Hard Reset with Restore all backup from pc
    Restore again from pc with and without the restore backup
    currently using a new setup with data synced once with icloud login
    I have following tweaks already from various battery performance tweaks
    Location Services to minimum (Google maps), no system services enabled
    Background app refresh disabled
    Reduce Motion is on (parallax effect disabled)
    Notifications to minimum
    Auto Brightness off and brightness is 25-30% from manual selection
    Wifi and Bluetooth is usually off
    Carrier Phone signal is usually ok but shows low signal in small percentages across email, phone but not too much its like 5%, 6% variants
    iCloud is off
    Autoupdate of apps is off
    mail is on manual sync every 30 mins (4 accounts)
    Can't see any obvious app which will cause this
    Generally the drain increases if I use a heavy app like Google Navigation, or Marvel Content of Champions, gets hot too when using a heavy data app and battery can run flat in plain 1 hour of use
    The full charge of the phone also takes longer and then discharges (with some emails (not on auto fetch), small use of whats app and 1 phone call) within 4-5 hours with tweaks 1-11 in place
    Can anyone help, I have booked an appointment with genius but what if they say its just software even though I tried everything
    Any genuine issue here?
    Please don't redirect me to tweaks etc I have almost tried every blog out there on tweaks on battery and almost tried all combos

    Addendum
    Last night charging for around 3-4 hours only charged a dead phone by 55% then left it to charge overnight
    Today the battery dropped from 6:15 am full charge to 53% at 10:38 am at time of writing this with
    1 phone call out for 30 secs
    1 incoming missed call,
    Whatsapp fetched around 10 msgs
    Email fetched around 20 ermail from 4 accounts but not viewed yet on phone

  • Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

    Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
    I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting  worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
    My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
    I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
    I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
    Hope this helps!
    Dylan

    I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
    I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
    I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

  • Solution to Iphone 5 battery drain iOS 6.02

    Like many people I just bought a new Iphone 5 and noticed that the power drains very quickly compared to my previous Iphone 3GS, 4 and 4S. I tried many of the suggestions online such as turning off wireless, brightness, deleting this and that. I even tried to downgrade to ios 6.0.1 which failed as an error message showed up.
    Then I came across a youtube that solve it, the link is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkfU-OvQVp8
    Warning: Before you do anthing, read the backup/restore info in the end of this message
    Solution
    Basically what you need to do is
    to go Settings->General->Reset->Erase all content and settings
    Activate the phone as a NEW phone
    Plug into itune and setup as a NEW phone
    That's it!
    Results
    From that point on, my iphone 5 battery went back to normal. I turned on all my wireless, bluetooth, email push notifications, ie turn on all the smartphone functions as it should be. My 3G speed even improved tremendously from 500ms ping/1Mbps down/0.06 Mbps up to 99ms/9.51Mbps/0.34Mbps at the same location when I tested using speedtest.net app (several tests done. My data plan is still on 3G so I did not turn on the 4G or LTE functions of the iphone 5.
    Backup/restore
    Because you are setting up the phone as NEW, you cannot restore any data from itune. What you can do is to backup to icloud BEFORE carrying out the solution. This will backup your contacts/pictures/etc. These will then be downloaded back into the iphone from icloud after the phone is setup as new.
    However, some Apps such as WhatsApp, Apps that have data that are not icloud supported will need to be backup and restore using other methods. This depends on the Apps.
    Hence BE WARN, do your own backup and find your own restore methods because for this to work, you cannot use itune restore from backup function.
    Does it work for you?
    I hope this works for those Iphone users who is restoring their previous 3/3GS/4/4S backups from ituen into their new Iphone 5. I don't know if it works for totally new user of a new Iphone 5.
    If this works for you, leave a comment here so that it will help others.

    This is a follow-up.  I called Apple Support.  They had me go through a sequence of unplugging the phone from the computer, then rebooting the computer, unplugging and shutting down the phone, plugging in the phone while holding the Hold button to force a  restore.  It then finished the update and all is well.  I wouldn't suggest trying this without having Support on the phone.

  • Iphone 4s battery problem with ios 8.1

    I actualized my iphone 4s with ios 8.1 and the battery dures 8-10 hours, meanwhile with ios 8.0 dured more than a day with the same use. I turn on the phone at 8:00am with full battery and at 6:00pm the battery has less than %10 charge. Could ios 8.1.1 fix this problem?

    Thanks for the help. I've tried to do what the instructions of the blog says, but I can't see the battery ussage and standby information. I don't know why, before the instalation of ios 8.1. I saw this information... What can I do to see it again?

  • Iphone 5 battery problem with iOS 7

    I am experiencing horrible battery time since I upgraded to iOS 7. I feel like I'm down to almost 60% of battery power. Anyone else experiencing battery power issues with their iPhone 5 and the new iOS?

    Strangely enough, the phone seem to have stabilized by itself, as if it had to learn my ways before getting back to normal. I did turn off some notifications, as well as some localizations, but that did not have any effect on my battery. After 2-3 recharges though it's now back to normal.
    @razmee209, Thanks for your help.

  • IPhone 5 Battery Problems

    My iPhone 5 that I got a week ago has had one real problems with the battery.  I have tried all the normal solutions like turning LTE off, location services, turning down the brightness of my screen, restarting my phone and so on. It's seems lik I can just watch my battery like go down as I watch it. Losing a percent or two every 1-2 mins. Listening to music and doing other things speeds its decline even more. I am not sure if its hardware in my phone or something else. I have updated to iOS 6.1 and yet still no help. Is this a problem with my phone, network, or software?  Any suggestions it took 4% of my battery life just to post this using my phone.

    Like many of the previous updates, 8.3 gratuitously adds or turns on many services that can drain the battery. So you will need to go thru the entire Settings menagerie of controls and turn off everything you don't need and/or reset back to your liking.
    As a side note, for iPhone 5 within a certain range of serial #'s Apple has a battery replacement program which you may want to consider as it essentially gives you a new phone (fresh new battery), if you qualify: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

  • My iPhone 5 battery on iOS 7 is terrible, can anybody help???

    The battery on my iPhone 5 was perfect when I upgraded to iOS 7. But one day it "died" at like 30%. I thought it was dead for 2 hrs., but then I tried turning it on later, and it just FLASHED on like nothing ever happened. I was pretty upset I couldn't use my phone for that long. When I was at a park, my phone suddenly died again. And I turned it on 10 minutes later and when it did turn on, it said 42% BATTERY, isn't that ridiculous?! I'm taking my iPhone to the apple store tomorrow to get this fixed, and I might have to get a new phone, who knows? Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7 3 months ago, it has "died" about maybe 10-15 times. Does anybody have a fix for this?? If you do, please share

  • IPhone 3GS battery life iOS 6.0.1

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0.1 and my battery life has gotten terrible.  Use to get all day off a charge not it's dead in <6 hours.  Any fixes?

    I have the same issue w/ my 4s.  My battery life was more than acceptable running iOS 6.  I updated to iOS 6.0.1 & now my battery life is HORRIBLE!!!  I just charged my phone & according to the usage, ie. Time Since Last Full Charge, was fully charged, yet it only said 94%.  I shut my phone off after unplugging it & when I turned it back on, the battery read 97%... ????? 
    There is definitely something that needs to be addressed w/ the 6.0.1 update!!  Really wish I hadn't gotten it!
