My final problem is that  "no service " appears a lot  especially when opening wifi or 3G , can you help ?

    Your battery is running quickly because your cellular data connection is weak.

  • Updated new iphone 4s and battery life is poor

    Since I upgraded my new iphone 4s the battery life has become really poor. As soon as its unplugged its lost life!
    Is this going to be fixed?

    Depending on the settings for your social media apps, your usage can very. If, for example, Facebook is checking the status to often, your battery is more likely to be drained. Same for mail and other push/fetch services.
    Sometimes it helps to delete the account and set it up again, there have been cases in which those apps got stuck trying to connect to their servers.
    If you restored the phone from the latest backup you made, did you reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for at least 10sec, until the Apple logo came back again?

  • IPhone 4S: Poor Battery Life

    After I got my iPhone 4S the battery life has been really bad compared to my iPod Touch. It does anyone have any suggestions? Yes i have tried restoring the software and setting it up as a new phone.

    You can't compare the iPhone's battery life to an iPod Touch - apples and oranges.

  • HOT iPhone and poor battery life after 1.14 to 2.1 firmware upgrade

    I recently upgraded my Original iPhone's firmware from 1.1.4 to 2.1. I did a restore rather than a simple upgrade (backup, restore to version 2.1, restore backup).
    After the restore I noticed that my battery life was terrible and that the phone would get very hot (near the top of the phone) sometimes, as if the battery was discharging very quickly. I read a few posts that suggested Push might be the culprit, so I turned Push off (I'm not using MobileMe), and this seemed to solve the problem. However...
    I now notice that whenever I play Apple's Texas Holdem from the App Store or play YouTube clips the same phenomena occurs, and that nothing short of a hard reset will stop it.
    Oddly, if I refrain from playing YouTube clips or playing Texas Holdem battery life is much better than before the firmware upgrade.
    In short, it looks as though there is something wrong with the 2.1 firmware. I see sporadic accounts of similar behavior on the various discussion boards, so I know I'm not alone.
    Is there a fix for this behavior?
    Thanks in advance...

    Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
    To fix:
    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

  • IPhone 4G poor battery life after iOS5

    Since weeks I'm in discussion with Apple care about my poor battery quality since I have update it to iOS 5.
    I switch really everything what could use battery off, all background tasks are off, but the Battery life is still not more then one day.
    Any idea how I can check the baterry quality? I did not had this problems with 4.3.5
    best regards and thank you for any idea!

  • IPhone 4S shorter battery life

    I belive this is a know issue currently to apple, but i just want to see if anyone is expeirencing a shorten battery life with their 4S iphone.
    it seems like even when i'm not even using it, the battery % goes down fairly quickly. i uploaded a pic of my phone at the end of its charge life, and as you can see, its nearly dead at 5hr and 45min of actual use and over 6hr of standby. i was using siri, internet, imessaging, a few calls, camera, and a few apps. mostly just setting up the phone and whatnot. this is not typical in iphone battery life. in my previous iphone 4, i remember several times when i used it down to the same battery level, and it had 8-10 hours of usuage and over 12 hours of stand by.
    apple better come out with an update to fix this soon. i feel like i always have to have this phone plugged in or else risk dying on me on the go.
    let me know if you have simialr issues please.

    Ok so after trying out this setting adjustment yesterday, i left my phone off the charger until it just about died. it lasted from from yesterday afternoon til late this morning. i was actually quite impressed. and i didnt have any signifigant disturance from the settings difference. it all preformed just as normal. minus the weather widget that i didnt really mind not seeing in the notification center. oh well. i'd rather have a long battery life than constant knowlege of the temp.
    as you can see i had just over 17 hours of stand by time and 7 hours of usage. alot of that i was just sleeping so ya...i still have to check it out from morning to night to see actual daily usage. but it is istill a big improvement.
    i played around with the diagnostics and traffic setting. they dont affect anything from the looks of it. and who cares about iAds seriously. i hate ads as it is. and i believe the weather app had a big part in the battery issue as well as the reported time zone setting.
    hope this helps out some people out there.

  • IPhone 4 poor Battery Life & Intended Obsolescence

    I have two questions and will include clarifications/details.
    1) Why does my iPhone 4 have such poor battery life? I have had an iPhone 4 for a little over 2 years. I first noticed poor battery life a year and a half ago. I recently (two months ago) replaced my battery. The new battery still has the same very poor battery life problems. It does not last half a day if I use it at all. Before anyone asks, yes, I do constantly close my open applications when they are not in use. And yes, I had a brand new battery put in the phone 2 months ago. It only seemed to give me better battery life for a few days, and then it was back to very poor. Maybe it works for 6 hours now, when before the replacement it worked for 4.
    2) A larger question that probably can't really be answered here: Does Apple design iPhone's to break down and work poorly after 2 years? It seems to me, these phones are designed to be used for a year at full functionality, and then start losing speed and battery life. Don't get me wrong, I think the functionality of a new iPhone is 2nd to none, but the functionality of an iPhone after 18 months, is mediocre at best.

    You did it yourself?  As Apple does not supply spare parts, including batteries, to anybody, there is your first suspect for bad battery performance.
    I did not do it myself. I paid a local NYC iPhone service company. And please, what do you mean "there is your first suspect." Replacing the battery is quite easy and thousands of people have done it successfully with instructions from tutorials or sites like iFixit. Just because Apple doesn't sell the 3rd party batteries they put in their phones separately, doesn't mean tons of people haven't done it right (to the point that some can open well desgined storefronts in expensive neighborhoods in Brooklyn). You sound like a total shill. Give me evidence that replacing the battery yourself causes poor battery life. The battery I had taken out looked bad (it was slightly expanded), but the new one didn't give much improvement. Maybe an hour or two more power a day.
    Does Apple design iPhone's to break down and work poorly after 2 years?
    Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of people still using 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4.  
    You don't be ridiculous. It may not be 100% intentional. I've heard talk about the iOS updates possibly being better designed for the new phones, so they inadvertantly become total power ***** on the older models. But this should be communicated if it is true. And I know tons of iPhone users in NYC. I know 0 who use a 3G or 3GS. And while I know quite a few people still with their 4 like me, 100% of them have horrible battery life.

  • IPhone 4S horrible battery life?, iPhone 4S horrible battery life?

    Last week I bought an iPhone 4S. This is my first iPhone, and I am having trouble with its battery holding a charge. After about 8 hours on standby, connected to 3g (with about 3 bars), the phone is at 15% battery life, and I'm only using it probably 15 minutes accumulated. If I turn it on Airplane mode, or have it connected to WiFi, it seems like it will last forever. But for some reason, the battery kills itself when it's connected to 3G. I have disabled most notifications, deleted my iCloud account, and yesterday I calibrated the battery. After all this, I will lay it on my desk, and check it five minutes later and be disheartened by the fact that it has already dropped 1%. I also disable WiFi if I don't plan to be using it, and I disable Location Services. Please help me!

  • Where is this magical iPhone 6 Plus battery life?

    iPhone 6 Plus users, are you getting the great battery life that most reviewers and reporters are describing with the iPhone 6 plus? I've had mine for two weeks, and while I wouldn't say the battery life is bad exactly, it hasn't been the stellar improvement overall compared to my old iPhone 5 that reports have led me to expect. Many people seem to indicate you can go a day and a half or two days with moderate usage without recharging, and I am lucky to make it to the end of the day and not get a low battery warning.
    I've fiddled with settings (background app refresh, push e-mail, deleting Facebook app altogether, turning off Pebble/bluetooth, etc.) and while it may make some difference around the edges, I'm certainly not finding that I have more than 50% battery left at the end of a day of standard usage, like some people are saying. My usage isn't light, but it certainly isn't heavy, either. I'm not watching a lot of video or playing many video games or anything during the work day. I'm probably actively looking at the screen for maybe a total of 3 hours a day.
    Are my expectations too high? Do I have a substandard battery? I am willing to change settings, but at the same time, a great part of the appeal of the 6 plus for me was not having to do that battery dance all the time. Any ideas?

    my iphone 6 plus is by far the absolute worst battery life of any phone i've ever owned. I brought my phone into apple store genius bar and showed them like 50 screen shots of my battery usage screen saying i lost like 50% over the course of a few hours of extremely light use. They basically told me "our battery diagnostic app says yur battery is fine... go away.'
    I've tried that let it die down to zero percent and then recharge thing like twice. It does nothing. Apple refuses to acknowledge that my iphone6 plus has a garbage battery. I do not trust their battery diagnostics test as far as i can throw this 1000 dollar paperweight and that is basically what this phone has been since the second i owned it,
    THis is NOT A TROLL post. I am a 100% genuine iphone 6 plus owner who truly is unsatisfied with my purchase.  This is truly 100% without a shadow of a doubt the worst battery ive ever seen on any smartphone ever and at the same time i acknowledge that there exists ip6+s with great battery life. There has to be some super dodgey stuff going on like there are just tooooo many bad batches or something. Maybe my phone was part of some rushed batch to make it in time for christmas and they were careless n heavy handed at the factory something i dunno but what i do know is my iphone 6 plus has absolutely dismal, pathetic and downright makes the phone unusable when i am out and about due to battery anxiety.
    There are way too many posts of people saying their ip6 battery is bad while other posts saying it's good. It's starting to become apparent that the iphone 6 is just extremely inconsistent and quite frankly not worth the risk really. You could get lucky n get a good 1 but you could very well get 1 like i have that literally died down from a full 100% charge down to fully dead in less than a half a day from literally zero use whatsoever. it just sat there sleeping. I didn't use it during this. It was a test to see how long it would take to die and it failed this test miserably and yet apple's useless little battery diagnostic over at genius says my battery is just fine n dandy... yeah right. Its crap. The genius dood who was totally cool n he's just doing his job/ protocol or whatever no knock to him but he just pointed me to some battery conversation tip link on apple's website and sent me on my way. I showed him screenshot after screenshot showing extremely poor battery life math and he just wasn't interested in hearing of any of it cause his all knowing battery diagnostic thingy infront of him is some all knowing crystal ball says my battery is fine and that's the end of it and the piles of screenshots i have saying my battery is dying 10 times faster than your are claiming while i had no background apps or anything whatsoever running don't mean a thing.
    I want my money back apple . Your product does not perform as advertised. 

  • My iphone 6 plus battery life

    i am using a iphone 6 plus and when my battery run out of life, the screen doesn't show the image of a low battery. It only shows the battery bar when i am charging the phone. What should i do to make it reappear again? Im using a IOS 8.1

    You should plug in your iPhone overnight to let it charge.

  • IPhone 6 Plus battery life seems to drop non-linearly

    I'm not sure it's a problem yet or not, but I've been watching the battery life over this first day of use, and it is very non linear, even though use has been pretty linear.
    For example, after the battery indicator dropped to 90% usage I calculated out how much the battery life would be at that rate and got like 19 hours!
    But at 80% usage it dropped to 13 hours.
    And so on... subsequent calculations have it multiplying out to 12.5 hrs, 12.3 hrs, 11.2 hours , 9.3 hours and now at 55% battery it multiplies out to 9.2 hrs.
    I wonder why the more time passes the remaining percentage seems to drop at an accelerated, rather than a linear rate. Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    doug

    The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.

  • IPhone 4S short battery life after iOS 5.1

    The battery of my iPhone 4S started to discharge more quickly after I downloaded iOS 5.1, but before it was OK. My location services, notifications, push and wi-fi are all off, but even if I don't use my phone, the battery life is shorter than it was before. Please help me with this issue! What can I do?

    I am very sorry, but what do you mean by switching off the data connection completely? You mean switch off the wi-fi function? Sorrry, I just didn't get..

  • When/how to charge the iPhone for optimal battery life?

    I have an iPhone 3G 8GB. I was just wondering what the best way to go about charging the iPhone is, in order to optimise the battery life?
    Should you wait until the iPhone is really flat/ low battery and then charge it up full, or are smaller and more frequent 'shallow' charges healthier?
    I also heard somewhere that every couple of months or so it is a good idea to let the battery run completely dead and then charge it up, in order to calibrate it or something... but that doing this too often could be detrimental.
    Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I should let my iPhone run really low before charging it or if smaller more frequent chargers are the way to go.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! I did read over that and have taken the steps mentioned and fiddled around with settings of my phone to optimise use. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything else to add about charging habits specifically and what works best... I think mainly I'm just being paranoid about my phone dying prematurely since it's the first time I've owned such an expensive gadget!
    Also, can you overcharge it? Is it bad to leave it on the charger overnight? I've done some searching in other threads/ webpages and there seems to be some discrepancies but for the most part people seem to think that it will be fine?

  • IOS 8.3 is draining my iPhone 6 Plus battery life. how to downgrade to iOS 8.2?

    I never changed my mobile phone using habits. All that changed recently is my iPhone 6 Plus getting an iOS 8.3 update. I noticed my battery life draining quicker than the usual. It used to still have enough juice to last me until midnight, now by lunch time i am already at 63%!
    Anyone experiencing this?
    Know the proper legitimate way to downgrade from iOS 8.3 to 8.2? Prefer to have longer battery life than have this updated 8.3 in my phone. I don't feel the benefits of the upgrade to begin with.

    The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.
