IPhone 4S keeps dying from battery even though the battery isn't drained

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3. I've run into this problem now a few times as it has been happening about once a week. Suddenly my phone will die as if the battery has just died, even though it is no where near reaching 0%. The three times it has happened it has been somewhere around 80%, 60% and 20% (I don't remember the exact numbers but it was around there). I've tried doing a force reset several times, holding down the power and home buttons, but that hasn't helped.
Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?
Thanks in advance.

Hello shak77,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  I found some steps that I think would help with this issue:

You can skip the first two sections because it sounds like you have already tried those steps.  Please start with the third section that talks about closing apps and continue from there. 
Best,

  • Hi- I have a new iPhone 5 and for some reason even though the time is set to EST, I keep getting calendar invitations for GMT, which means I am 5 hours out of whack.  What's wrong?

    Hi-
    I have a new iPhone 5.  For some reason, when I received messages they are showing up as the GMT time zone, even though the time on my phone is set to EST. 
    Anyone know how to change this?

  • My i-phone won't turn on, it went off all of a sudden even though the battery was half charged and wont turn back on, I've tried holding the home and power buttons but that hasnt worked, can anyone help?

    My i-phone wont turn on and I don't know why, it went off all of a sudden even thought the battery was half charged, I've tried holding the power and home buttons to reset it but that hasnt worked, I don't know what else to try, can anyone help?

    Charge it for 30 minutes with the wall charger, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens your phone is probably broken.

  • IPhone Calendar keeps syncing with Google even though no Gmail account on it

    My iPhone calendar always shows all my work Gmail calender events- I can't get rid of this!  There's no Gmail account on the phone- if I log in to https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect on the phone then I can't de-select it as the tickbox is greyed out.
    I have no Google apps on the phone - so nothing I can delete there and I can't see anything about the phone in Google settings.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!
    Hello whereizben,
    I see you have posted same post in another thread.  I have already replied to that posting with a solution.  Please see the following link for my reply:

  • My iphone 6 keeps showing 0 bytes even though I keep deleting items. How do I fix this?

    I have done a restore. I delete items and for a short amount of time I will have a little space and then it eats it up. I had 2.3gigs last night before bed to awake to a full memory alert in the morning.
    I counted my used space and it's only about 20gigs on a 64gig iphone6.

    Have you tried doing the backup to itunes instead of icloud?

  • Still seeing songs from cloud even though the "show all music" setting is OFF

    Sorry if this is a duplicate post. All the devices are rising up against me
    IPhone 5 issue
    Just to be clear:
    In Settings > Music
    "Show all music" is OFF
    "iTunes Match" is OFF
    Please don't tell me to turn them off, because they are absolutely off!
    I am still seeing music from my cloud in my song list ANYWAY!! Not every song from my cloud, just less than half. Music I don't want on my phone, like my daughter's music, and other random songs. What also concerns me is since it won't let me remove them, if I go into an area with no wifi, I will use data playing the songs.
    Swiping right to left does not work (or the other direction, I tried for the **** of it).
    How do I get the random cloud music to stop displaying? I only want what I downloaded to show and that's it. I've tried all night to figure it out and it's making me nutty. Is there some other obscure thing I am missing or is this some crazy bug?
    Thanks

    SO I dont have a computer with itunes on it - which wasnt an issue with iphone4. in the process of getting a new laptop. its a moot point.
    anyways, I came up with a solution to my problem (so far, so good).
    Open to the iTunes store app
    Scroll to the bottom of the main screen and click on your Apple ID, which gives you the option to Sign Out.
    Sign out!
    Reboot the phone
    Presto - all the iCloud stowaways have disappeared from my music app.

  • My Mac will not start unless I connect charger for a few minutes even though the battery is full

    I am new to Mac and would someone know why this is happening? It started happening after the Maverick download.

    Hi NewMacUser10,
    If you are having an unusual power or charging issues with your portable Mac, you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). The SMC controlls or affects many of the low level power related functions on a Mac, including things like battery level reporting and power switching. You may find the following article helpful:

  • My iPad wont turn on and shows the charging battery icon even though the battery is charged

    Any ideas?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • IPhone 4  "No SIM card installed"  even though the SIM card is  in there

    Hi,since today I have no mobile phone network on the iPhone. Whenever I start it up it says: No SIM card installed. Although they put in it. I switched the iPhone several times, and took out the SIM card and inside she put back in, but nothing happened there. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks

    Could be a bad SIM card. My son's iPhone 4 started doing the same thing so I took it to a local AT&T store and they replaced the SIM for free. It's worked every since.

    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?
