Iphone 4 Phone App White Screen/Battery Draining Fast

I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent version of the software. For the second time in about 5 weeks, my phone app has completely stopped working and only shows a white screen when entering. I can still receive calls however. The only way I could fix it before was a complete system restore, which was horrible. My battery drains really quickly and the iphone gets really hot. The system restore seemed to fix it for a few weeks last time. I tried hard resets, soft resets, and everything in between. A friend of mine had the same issue with his phone.
Any ideas?

I did some research. I deleted my exchange account from work and it appeared to have fixed the problem.

IPhone 4 GSM overheating and battery draining fast.

I recently updated to 6.1.3 and eevr since my phone have been ovrheating and the battery has been draining REALLY fast. I have tried basic trouble shooting that includes mail, wifi, 3g, and even a factory restore to "new phone". The problem persists. Has anyone ls experienced this have found a fix? I also purchasd a new battery and am waiting for that to arrive. i will install this but I believe it is firmware related and not hardware. This is also in part because apple ran diagnostics and had said the battery appears to be oprating properly.
Help for this would be greatly apprciated. Thanks in advance.

IPhone 4 very hot and battery draining fast

I am having an issue with my IPhone 4 that just started yesterday. It is VERY hot to the touch the screen and the back of the phone. It is also not maintaing a charge. I charged it all night and just taking it off the charger and not using it till I checked the time one time it was down to around 96%. I talked on it for maybe 5 - 10 minutes and only talked and it was down in the 70's. By the time I picked it up again once in the office to check battery power I noticed it was down in the 50's. I am constantly having to charge it and cannot stand to hold it in my hand due to it being so hot. Any advice or ideas?

There is Most likely a Probem with your battery, I would go to the Apple store to see if it can be fixed or replaced.

My iphone was powered off due to low battery charged it after few hours it took 30 min to show apple logo but i noticed that my phone was charging slow and draining fast, after this updated it to 8.1.2

IPhone 5s battery drain fast with iOS 8.1.2

I have iPhone 5s from 1 year. After updating to 8.1.2 battery draining fast. I needs charge the battery 3-4 times a day. I did the restore as new, but no change. Stopping the apps does not help. Please for advice.

I have also experienced this, but I think I have started to narrow things down. First of all, I am on an iPhone 5S 32gb, and I did NOT have any of these battery issues under 8.1.1, but since upgrading, the battery drains more quickly for sure.
What I have noticed, however, is that there are some strange correlations going on with what appears to be ridiculously severe battery drain - my phone will show 50% battery, and minutes later (of normal use, taking photos, screen at about 50% brightness, no overt internet or GPS activity) it will suddenly shut down completely. This seems to happen most WHEN IT IS COLD and I am using it outside.
When I try to turn it back on right after, I get the "plug me in" screen, as one would expect with a dead phone. However, if I wait a few minutes and let the phone warm up a bit, I hold down the power switch and on it comes, and when it comes on, the battery indicator will show 50% battery life again. I think of this as my FALSE BATTERY DRAIN problem, possibly unrelated to the actual battery life. I have only noticed this happening while running the Camera or Safari apps. Looking at my usage doesn't seem to turn up any surprises.
So Apple... what the heck is going on here? Is this an OS problem, is it an issue with your apps, with app conflicts... what is going on?
This is unacceptable. You know after being an Apple user for 35 years now I am not going to switch to Android lightly, but this is pushing me that way, and it is certainly going to keep me from updating to a newer, shinier phone until you show some commitment to supporting your users, who seem to be experiencing battery issues rather frequently these days.
Please at least show some INTEREST in being involved in this solution... I'm not seeing any indications of effort to fix this.
Thank you.

Iphone 6 battery draining fast

Jus bought my phone and my phone battery become hot even I only use it for 5 min and the battery draining fast is it my phone battery have a problem?

Hi Mqchew,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone. If you have a new iPhone 6 that you are concerned may be having heat or battery issues, you may first want to try restoring it to factory condition (if you have loaded any apps or data onto it) and testing it in that default state to see if the issue persists:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If the issue persists after the factory restore, you may want to take it in to be evaluated and/or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

Iphone 5s battery drains faster on ios 8.1.2

Hi,
Facing problem of battery drains faster after 8.1.2 update. Phone low signals, App store low signals

PPhone low signal? Are you saying your phone is having issue getting a strong cellular data signal? If so that is why your phone is draining battery at a faster rate.

Here is what you should do turn the device on hold the home button and the power button until the device turn off keep holding and when the device reboots release the power button but hol the home button until it shows the iTunes logo then restore it

Why does my battery drain fast? I've had my phone for a year and a half now with no problems until recently.

Iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done

iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done?

Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

My photo want sync and my you tube doesn't work after update and my battery drains fast.

this new update doesn't work like i should work my photo doesn't upload my you tube doesn't work & my battery drain faster than ever now

Synching new photos from iPhone to the new Photos app on the iMac is incredibly slow. Placeholders for the photos do appear but the content stays white (initially) then black. As an example, I started the Photos app some 15 minutes ago and am still waiting for the synch of merely 11 photos to complete.
Since I agreed to pay 4.99 euro per month to extend online storage to 200 GB, I would expect flawless behavior. I am disappointed.

Re: Battery Drains Faster in iOS 5 ?

Hello,
I have marked that Battery drain faster if using apps in iOS 5 then the previous version, but the idle time is better in iOS 5.
In my case after fully charged, my phone show 100% if its in idle mode for 7 hours, but as soon as i start some apps the battery drains faster, like if i use the apps for 15 min the battery remains at 80%.
Have anybody experience this ?

@dimoff: I didn't experience the same thing with other mobiles, even of Nokia. I have Lumia 525, Moto G(Dual Sim). My wifi is always on and i use the phone without any problem for 1.5 days.
But where as Lumia 630, without any phone calls, only idel phone it could stand only for 1 day.
On the contrary what i have experienced is when i use 3G, battery is consulmed more tha wifi.

Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro lollipop battery drain fast

You can see what app drains your batter in "Settings -> Power Manager -> Power consumption details". You can analyze that for a bit and adjust your phone accordingly. Factory reset would delete all third party apps that could drain your batter or readjust the phone settings, but you don't need to do that as long as you can find out what apps are draining your battery.

Ios 5 : usage time and standby are equal..battery drains fast

Hi
few days afer updating to ios5 my Iphone 4 i noticed that battery drained very fast. In statistic i noticed that usage time is always perfectly the same as standby time...
i disabled icloud , ping, face time, notifications, logged out of appstore but this didnt solve the issue.
i used netstat to check the presence of some connection (and yes, push apple notifications) . I disabled the warnings and it disappeared...but not the problem...
I deleted all the apps i updated right before the problem showed...but nothing....
any idea?
thanks

before ios 5 it was caused by Appstore, you needed to log out to fix it.
i solved the problem..but not really sure about how.
I restored the iphone and i restored a back up from icloud. There were two back up, i chose the older one .
After that all the app i installed or updated after were all to be updated yet.
I did that one by one..checking the battery behavior...but all went fine..
back to normality...for now

If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete factory reset.
Factory Reset - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
This method will not erase any MDN/MIN information
Turn off the phone
Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen
Display will show:
Reboot system Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Use VOL Down key to scroll down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", press home icon to select option and wipe device.
Display shows "All user data will be wiped out", press VOLUME Up to continue or VOLUME Down to exit.
Press Volume Up
Press Home to select "Reset System Now" - device will reboot
If the problem persist I recommend having a store technician take a look at the device.
