Iphone 4s 2 months old battery drains

my iphone 4s is 2 months old and the battery goes from 100% to dead within 2 hours.. the problem started this weekend.. using version 5.1.1   Location services are off, brightness is at 40%.  I haven't downloaded any new apps..

Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. At end when prompted, Set Up as New iPhone. See if the battery is better. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

    Replacement iphone(hardly one month old phone) is a new one or refurbished ?
    I am facing lot of issues with my iphone 3gs.Please i request you guys dont buy any apple products here.its waste.I bought my iphone one moth back when i use GPRS(internet ) on my phone .it will shut down and gets heated.Went to imagine(Authorised apple service center)they said will replace the phone when i went to collect the phone they said it a new one when i check the connector it was having all dust in it.WHEN I ASKED THEN AGAIN THEY SAY ITS  A NEW PRODUCT.HOW COME A NEW PRODUCT HAS DUST COLLECTED IN CONNECTOR DOCK.
    Replace the phone with a brand new phone.

    There should be no way to tell.  The dealer/store shouldn't know either.  It should be good as new.
    The warranty clearly states that it can be a refurb unit.  You have no say in the matter.

  • IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

    iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
    should I bring it to apple ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

  • My iphone 4s, 2 months old hangs often. What should I do?

    My Iphone 4s,2 months old hangs often. I bought this in India. When compared with Iphones bought in the US/UK, I see lots of difference in the sharpness in display too. Though the clarity and quality of screen is secondary, the phone hanging often is my major problem I am facing. What should I do to avoid this?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • MacBook Air, 2 months old, battery can't keep power

    Macbook air , 2 months old, battery cannot keep power. Using it for less than30 second, all system black out. it can be used only when plug in wire.
    also battery charged very slow, 8 hours for 30%. The next day i charge another 8 hours, got another 40% so total battery is about 90% but when take of the wire, computer black out like no battery left again.

    There are many third party batteries that are at best suspect.  I have seen on Amazon what appear to be legitimate OEM Apple batteries which I suspect are graymarket products.  You may try that at your own risk.  If you purchase from Apple. you will know what you will be getting and with a warranty.
    Ciao.
    OWC has what appears to be a battery that will fit your MBP.  They are a reputable vendor for Mac compatible products,

  • Plugged in my new iPhone to charge before letting battery drain to 0%. Did I ruin it?

    I plugged in my new iPhone 6 to charge before letting the battery drain to 0%. It was at about 86% when I plugged it in to my computer to restore everything from my previous phone and then left it to charge to 100%. Will my battery be ruined because of my failure to let it drain before charging it? Pls help!!

    You aren't supposed to let it drain fully before charging it - in fact, repeatedly doing so can damage the battery.
    Charge it whenever it is convenient for you. Try to avoid running it all the way out unless necessary.
    Apple does recommend running it out about once per month, and you can also run it to 0% if the battery gauge seems to be incorrect.

  • IPhone 4S 5.1.1 Battery drain, fixed for my case

    I just got a 4S, to replaced my missing iphone 4.
    The firware was 5.1, so I upgraded over the air (using the phone alone) to 5.1.1
    Then I restored by phone using the back up in iTune.
    But I realised my latest backup was in iCloud (I did not backup all apps in iCloud), so I restored with iCloud again, after goto Reset Settings two times.
    Starting to use the phone, experiencing very fast battery drain, 1% drop every 2-3 minutes.
    at one time I notice the battery was hot and battery drain real fast. I found the reason:
    the iCould continue to restore but stuck. Just goto Settings - iCould -Storage & Backup, at the bottom you see iCloud Restoring (or something) then phone..
    Just cancel or stop it. Because in my case, all the apss I needed already restored.
    Next day I still experiencing very fast battery drain, 1% drop every 2-3 minutes. I tried all the Location Service - System Services - Setting Time Zone (it is on all time (purple)), but actually its not the culpit, my friends has this on and all the time has a purple arrow, no battery drain issue.
    Also tried removing email accounts, in my case, it still does not resolve it.
    I decided to have a clean upgrade to 5.1.1 (over 890MB) instead of the phone over the air upgrade (50MB+), so I connect the iphone 4S to iTune , has it synced and backup.
    Click the restore, and iTune download from apple and wipe/upgrade to 5.1.1 again. Restore it from itune after that (not set as NEW phone),
    TA TA!!
    All the problem gone.
    Hope this help, if you have similar case like me.

    It is me again, just to explain that the thing that sems to lock up the computer in step 7 of 7 is "Syncing GEnious Data to iPHone". I don't know if that helps,  but any thoughts appreciated.

  • I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

    I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

    So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
    Talk time:
    Up to 7 hours on 3G
    Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
    Standby time: Up to 300 hours
    Internet use:
    Up to 6 hours on 3G
    Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
    Video playback: Up to 10 hours
    Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
    Knowing what you were using it for would help

  • Iphone 3GS 3.1.2 Battery drain problem

    Hi,
    Recently i have purchased Iphone 3gs with software 3.1.2. I'm facing a serious problem of battery drain. Without doing anything, the battery drains so fast. Is there is any way to over come this problem?

    Here's what I do that usually keeps battery life accurate. Drain the battery till it's dead, charge up full and do a hard reset while it's still plugged in and it usually works. If this fixes it just keep killing the battery and charging it full. If it acts up repeat steps above. Mine works almost everytime when it starts acting up. I was just trying things and this worked. Hope this helps

  • Iphone 4 from sprint and battery drain issues

    how many people out there bought a new iphone 4 from sprint and having the rapid battery drain issues?  there is a big thread on the 4s but not as much on the 4 and im trying to decide if its best to just exchange it or try more fixes.

    I have the same issue. I am with sprint. The battery goes down in 6 hours, mostly in standby and some emails. I can actualy see the battery meter going down every 30 sec when reading my mails. iCloud is disabled as also push notification. The phone gets also hot. This issue is completely stupid and remember, I had iPhones for the last 3 years. My last one was the 4. It is first time I have such a problem. My friends that have the 4S with AT&T do not have that problem. As a mater of fact, I compared today and mine goes down 50% faster. I will have to return it and switch to another provider.

  • Should I be worried about my 5 month old battery?

    I bought a new battery for my 15" 2007 Macbook Pro in October (2009), and I've been noticing a steep decline in quality lately. In the first three months, I lost 10% of my battery power, and seem to have lost quite a bit more in the past two months. I try to calibrate tri-weekly (once per three weeks).
    The problem is, every now and then, the battery jumps up to around 85% randomly for a few days, until it decides to return to 70-75% jumping range.
    I guess because I'm not entirely sure about my rights, I'm wondering if it is a faulty manufactured battery or if I am just screwed and will have to buy another battery probably at the end of the year when this one is barely usable.
    Model Information:
    Manufacturer: Sony
    Device name: ASMB012
    Pack Lot Code: 0001
    PCB Lot Code: 0000
    Firmware Version: 0110
    Hardware Revision: 0500
    Cell Revision: 0303
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 3941
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4106
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 72
    Condition: Normal

    KeferSage,
    It sounds to me as if the battery is developing a problem in one its cells, which is operating intermittently rather than consistently. I would take it in and get it stress tested at an Apple AASP or Store. This should reveal the problem. As it is less than twelve months old, assuming you bought it through Apple, it should be covered under warranty under the 300 cycle / 80% of maximum capacity rating anyway, but if it fails the stress test at this age they will almost certainly not even be concerned about such things unless it had completed more than 300 cycles.
    Cheers

  • IPhone 5S Getting Heated and Battery Drain issue

    From Past 2 Days , my iPhone is been getting heated and the battery drain is 1% per minute.
    Earlier When i used to put it on standby it used to be only a drop by 1-2 % through out night. Now it has gone down to -35% to 40% drain.
    I have tried
    -Resetting all settings
    - Restoring to fresh new iPhone
    -let my battery down to 0 and then charge it to 100% again
    But Nothing Helped, i am out of the country for work and i visit an apple store here.
    Any Suggestions, How do i Fix it?

    I have a VERY similar issue to extremecoder...
    Iphone 5s 16gb (purchased from Apple Online U.K. on 8th December 2013) was fine until the last two days onwards. I am now getting incredibly quick battery drain. The image is a screenshot taken this morning. Phone was charged to 100% last night and used for an hour or so, with battery level on 50%. I then switched off overnight as I always do.
    Turned it back on again this morning and was at 48%!
    Now look at it.    Do I have a case here for a replacement phone?
    P.S. Location services, bluetooth etc all off as they always are. Nothing has changed at all in my usage habits with the phone.

  • Water damage to my iPhone 5s and now the battery drains quickly

    My water bottle leaked through my bag and got into my phone, when I discovered this I have no idea how long it had been sitting in water for. It wouldnt turn on so I immediately put it in rice in a snap lock bag. After a few hours it turned on again and all seemed to be fine but now the battery drains very quickly, even when no apps are open.
    I only got the phone a few weeks ago. Is this something that will be cheap to fix by apple or am I better off trying to do it myself?

    Also my finger print thing doesnt work but I can live without that, but i cant live withouth a battery
