IPhone 5 battery extremely bad!

I upgraded to the iPhone 5 as soon as it was released, ever since I have had battery problems. I always take my charger wherever I go now, because the battery just drains way too fast. It's a pity that Apple had advertised the iPhone 5 would have a better battery, but it's way worse than my iPhone 4. Today when I left for work at 10am it was 100%. I worked till 1pm and by the time it was 3pm my battery was down to 40%. I had barely used my phone. Absolutely terrible.
Does anyone have any ideas how it can be fixed?

I actually get better performance from my iPhone 5 battery over the 4. I haven't done a scientific measurement but I'll bet it's at least 20% better. I took mine off the charger this morning at about 6am. It's currently 10pm and I'm at 53%. I've used it throughout the day but oddly today I had no calls on it. Just a bunch of email, texting and web.
I would start with the usual suspects. Go into settings and turn off LTE for starters. Then I would go into Location Services and make sure nothing is coming on that you don't need. Then make sure that you're not in a weak signal area. That's the number one reason my battery drains. If my phone has to work hard to find a signal it drains the battery big time. I also tend to leave WiFi on when I'm at home and that helps. Good luck.

IPhone 4S - really bad battery life or faulty?

Hi! I have an iPhone 4S (16GB, black).
Ever since I have had it, I've had to charge it everyday.
To try to improve the battery life, I've done everything I know of like turning off WiFi/Bluetooth, turning down the brightness, turning off push mail (so only when i launch the Mail app, it connects to my email), I've only switched on what I use on iCloud like Calendar sync, Find my iPhone; i've turned off push notifications for apps I don't need it for, set auto-lock to 1minute, and have switched off location services for apps I don't need it for, and I made sure there is no EQ setting on the iPod/music app.
I also force-quit big apps I'm not using - I don't have a lot of apps compared to some people I know - only 19.
But with all of that, my battery usage only goes up to about 3 hours, 30 minutes. I once owned an iPhone 4 (which I sold because I wanted to switch to Android... then realised I felt lost without an iPhone so bought an iPhone 4 ha), but the battery usage on that used to last like 5 hours! My old iPhone 3G was about the same too.
But why is it so bad? I know it's got Siri, but I don't use that a lot.
I've also noticed on some occassions, the phone switches off when it still has 10% battery life left! When I try turning it back on at 10%, it comes up with the no battery icon - I did manage to turn it back on by pressing the on/off button and home button, but it likes turning off then! Yesterday, it took about 2 minutes to go from 10% to 5%, then was stuck on 2% for about 30 minutes.
When I go cycling, I use a GPS app (Cyclemeter). The iPhone 4 battery went down by about 10% when I used it (about 1 hr cycle ride), and the 4S goes down by like 25% !! - i don't leave the screen on either - it's just in my pocket using the GPS.
Could there be a fault with my iPhone/battery? Or is it just that the 4S is like this?

I have the same issue. I have a iPhone 4S and the batter life was great under 5.0. Then 5.0.1 came out and its been horrible. Sometimes I can get upwards of almost 5 hours of usage, but lately I can't break even 4 hours of usage over a period of 24 hours.
Apple's software dept was supposed to issue a fix for this but they never did. I'm pretty much done with this horrible company. They are beginning to think they are God's gift to the digital community and a dose of humble pie would be nice for them. And it will catch up if they keep ignoring us. iOS5 has been the most broken and fragmented OS apple has EVER put out. Thank you for that Apple.

My iphone battery is in bad shape ... I have some support?.

my iphone battery is in bad shape ... I have some support?
my iphone does not work a lot faster and the battery lock and just loads super fast in less than 35 minutes
dont know to do the truth if I go to an apple store only thing I will say is that I have to buy another? or what can I change?
some help please?
thanks....
and bless

If you are having battery issues, and you haven't, you should try updating your phone to the latest iOS version (7.1.2).
Try restoring the iPhone like a new device after the update and test the phone as this may be fix the issue.

Pls. help: iPhone 4s battery still bad after replacement

I got my iPhone 4s 64GB on day one as it became available in Europe. It was a big investment for me, so please help me find out what I should expect from the device.
First some background. I've had all iPhone models thus far, so I'm not new to the game. Also, I tried messing with the settings as described in many sites. Nothing helped. So I waited for 5.0.1. I installed it and it didn't help at all. It didn't make things worse or better. I then saw my wife's iPhone 4 going incomparably stronger with the same settings after a year and 3 months of usage. Basically her battery would go down to 92% compared to mine going to 72%, whilst she was even making calls and I just had mine in sleep.
So I decided to give up, and after discussing my issues with Apple Care conceded it *could* be a hardware problem and sent mine in.
I received my replacement iPhone 4s yesterday. I charged it fully and put it on my night stand at around midnight. Also, I made sure I didn't even restore my previous iPhone, but rather set it up as new, just entered my iCloud data and turned off the location services, etc. At 7 a.m. my battery showed something over half. It's noon now and after no phone calls and only checking a few emails my iPhone battery is deep in the red.
I'd appreciate your help, testing, opinions. I'm at loss whether this should be considered normal, because sending in device after device doesn't seem right to me and perhaps makes no sense.

Just one thing:

IPhone battery drain

I recently purchased an iPhone 4s when it was running iOS 5.1.1. I eagerly updated to iOS 6 as soon as it was available. I had been seeing slightly less-than-optimal battery life of 5.1.1, but iOS 6 delivered simply terrible battery life. I have scoured through many forums and found nothing that worked. I have even tried restoring as a new phone, but with no results. Before I go ahead and make a Genius Bar appointment, is there anything I can do to fix this? I have reset all settings, turned off bluetooth, turned off push mail and notifications and location for unnecessary things, including system services, disabled Siri, turned down brighness, gone through charge cycles, done hard reboots, and removed unnecessary syncing services. Yet my battery still fails to deliver. Can anyone recommend anything else to try?
As a reference, I get about 5-6 hours of light usage (checking email, checking news briefly, maybe watching a few YouTube videos) with 10-12 hours of standby on a good day. There have been days where I got up to 8 hours on very restricted usage. On bad days, when I throw in 15-20 minutes of games and more heavy video, I get 4 hours of usage maximum. I got far more than this on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5.1.1, so I was rather startled by this performance. If this is normal, and the iPhone battery in general isn't too good, please let me know. However, I have a strong feeling that this is unusual. If no solution presents itself, I will be going to see the Genius Bar.

I don't really have an answer as such but I suffered from poor battery life after upgrading to ios6. After resetting and restoring a few times it started to last longer.
However, if you thought the battery drain was bad on 6, wait till you get 6.1! I took my phone off charge at 6:30 this morning, recharged it at midday and now, at 23:10, it's showing 17%. This is with light web surfing, a doze or so incoming emails and 2 words with friends games going on
Pretty poor, but par for the course. Every time an iOS update comes out it kills battery life.
My Daughters is the same. It must effect everybody

Iphone battery draining fast after reboot

hi, my iphone battery drains completely from 100% to 0% in a few hours if I switch the phone off and turn back on. i recently found this out once after I switched off the phone.....But there is no problem (battery can last 1~2 days for normal use)if i do NOT switch off after recharge.
Is this a software issue or hardware?? Has anyone got the same problem? Thank you so much.

A couple more diagnostic tidbits.....my iPhone exhibited odd behavior after downloading the Star Gazer app from the App Store on Sunday. I activated the "arrange icon" feature to move the app icon for Star Gazer to a new position on my iPhone and after I moved it the icon for the app next to it (Weather Channel App) was absent but the label was present. When I slid my app screen back to the home screen and came back, the Weather Channel App icon was visible and the Star Gazer app was now absent but the label was present. I've also had some odd flashes of the home screen after unlocking my phone (I have it secured with a PIN to protect my data). Is this and IOS 4.1 issue?
It is not an iOS 4 issue; it is a very rare problem, and has occurred with all versions. But if you search you will see reports are in the dozens, with 100 million phones in use that's a vanishingly small number. It usually means that memory in the phone is corrupted. If rebooting the phone doesn't fix it you should restore the phone using iTunes.

Fix for iPhone Battery Life

Hi, I have done this with IOS 5 through 6 and it works.
I have done this serveral times with my phone, as battery life decreases. I have not figured out what is the original cause of my battery problems, but every now and again, something starts to dain my battery at a rappid rate, in an hour or two. This is the fix to reset it.
1 - Back up you phone to iTunes
2 - Go into the settings under General and at the bottom sellect Reset and reset your iPhone erassing all data.
3 - Once it resets and shows you the default "out of the box" screan, power it off
4 - Recharge it FULLY.... I leave it over night.
5 - Power it on again
6 - Restore your settings via iTunes.
7 - Your done
In my experiance, if you skip any of the steps, like not powering off when your recharge or not recharging fully, will result in it still draining quickly.
Hope this works for you.

Thanks JJT2122 !
I added your fix to the list of available fixes that improve iPhone battery life

Optimizing iPhone battery life: Between charges and before replacement

FYI. An excellent iPhone battery care article by iPhoneAtlas.com:
Optimizing iPhone battery life: Between charges and before replacement
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/07/09/optimizing-iphone-battery-life-between-cha rges-and-before-replacement/

OK, I agree that is a completely false statement. The rest of the article is pretty good.
If you assume a linear decrease in battery charge for each full cycle (which it really isn't, but much easier to model in a spreadsheet). Then 80% of original charge after 400 full cycles is approximately 0.8% loss in battery charge per full charge cycle (again this is a simplification, stay with me). This means that after 400 cycles, you are at approximately 80% of your original total charge level. As stated by Apple.
So, extrapolating that out to EOL (end of life) which Apple assumes to be 50% battery charge, it would take approximately 1,000 full charge cycles for your battery to be EOL (according to Apple). It would actually be slightly less than that since it won't be a linear function.
For me, that's 2 to 4 years of use depending on whether or not I continue using the iPhone as much as I have this first full week.

Hello , please am having a problem with my iphone 5 , the battery runs out quickly , also if i turn on 3G it will run faster , 15 minutes and the iphone battery will be out , and my final problem is that is "no service " appears a lot can you help ?

Hello , please am having a problem with my iphone 5 , the battery runs out quickly ,another problem also if i turn on 3G it will run faster , 15 minutes and the iphone battery will be out . 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.

If i buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple appstore?

1. If I buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple app store?
2. Searching craigslist, it looks like iphones with a bad esn are cheaper than buying an ipod. If it's the same functionality, then is there a downside to getting an iphone with a bad esn instead of an ipod touch?
Thanks

Actually, you can in fact restore it or re-activate it using iTunes. A bad ESN just means it can't ne activated for phone service, but it can still be used as a touch. Phones with bad ESN's are not necessarily stolen, if the owner/account holder fails to pay their bill, the carrier will list with a bad ESN.

***GIVE THIS A TRY BEFORE YOU GIVE UP ON THEM COMPLETELY IT WILL HELP***
HERE WE GO…
ALLOW YOURSELF ABOUT 1 ½ TO 2 HOURS TIME TO INVEST IN THIS PROCESS BUT IT’S WORTH IT
Hello Again,
Well…in my last post right after I did the 5.1.0 update to my iPhone 4s I remarked about how it worked and it was doing great. Not long after that (the next day at work) I noticed that the battery life was better or seemed to be but it wasn’t quite what I thought it should be. So as I am “OCD” and do not mind doing some trial and error on my phone (I mean what do we have to lose at this point right????) Here are my findings and there is a significant increase in the battery life. Just for good measure even after I discovered the difference in mine I took my wife’s 4s and performed the exact same steps to hers and she is back to the way the 4s is supposed to be, and the way it was in the beginning when we first purchased them!! (might I say she was a little reluctant to let me have my will with hers since doing the 5.0.1 update was all my doings anyway and took our phones from us so to speak, but being a good wife she trusted me one last time ;-)
THE PROCESS AS I DID IT:
OPEN ICloud AND IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY DONE SO DO A BACK UP, THIS STEP IS SOLELY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CONTACTS AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. WE WILL NOT BE RESTORING FROM iCloud SO THIS STEP IS NOT FOR A RESTORE PURPOSE.
AFTER YOU HAVE BACKED UP TO iCloud
OPEN YOUR SETTINGS ICON AND ONE CATEGORY AT A TIME STARTING WITH THE AIRPLANE MODE AND START GOING DOWN THE LIST, GO INTO EACH ONE AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IN THAT TAB AND SUB-TABS IN TURNED OFF. **EVERYTHING**
O.K. AFTER YOU HAVE TURNED EVERYTHING OFF GO INTO SETTINGS AGAIN AND COMPLETELY DELETE ALL OF YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS AND YOUR iCloud ACCOUNT. IT’S O.K. YOUR iCloud ACCOUNT IS NOT REALLY DELETED YOU ARE JUST DELETEING IT FROM YOUR PHONE. WE WILL BE PUTTING IT BACK ON LATER.
LEAVE ALL APPS ON YOUR PHONE THAT YOU THINK OR KNOW THAT YOU WANT AND DELETE ANY THAT YOU THINK YOU DO NOT WANT.
NEXT STEP IS CONNECTING TO iTunes BUT…NOW YOU HAVE TO BE QUICK AND AT THIS POINT AND STOP THE SYNC PROCESS BY CLICKING ON THE CIRCLE WITH AN “X” IN IT AT THE TOP MIDDLE OF SCREEN WHERE IS READS WHAT STEP IN THE SYNC PROCESS IT IS IN. DO NOT LET YOUR PHONE SYNC JUST YET OR YOU WILL UNDO EVERYTHING YOU JUST DID MANUALLY WITH YOUR PHONE.
IN THE LEFT COLUMN IN iTunes YOU WILL SEE YOUR iPhone’s NAME RIGHT CLICK ON IT (WINDOWS) OR TWO FINGER TAP (MAC) AND CHOOSE “BACKUP” AGAIN YOU MAY THINK A LOT OF THIS IS REDUNDANT AND YOU COMPUTER GURU’S OUT THERE MAY KNOW A BETTER WAY BUT THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME (REPEATADLY) AND SO FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE FRUSTRATED THE UPDATE ISN’T WORKING THIS IS MEANT TO HELP WHOEVER IS ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON THERE PHONE.
AFTER YOU HAVE BACKED YOU PHONE UP IN iTunes (WHICH WE DID JUST FOR SAFE MEASURE) CLICK ON “SUMMARY” AND CHOOSE THE “DOWNLOAD & UPDATE”, THIS WILL TAKE ABOUT 40 MINS.
O.K. NOW AFTER YOUR PHONE HAS DOWNLOADED AND UPDATED, YOU MAY BE AT A POINT TO WHERE YOU ARE CHOOSING WHAT TO LET RUN ON YOUR PHONE LIKE “SIRI, LOCATION SERVICES, iCloud, ETC.” CHOOSE “NO” FOR ALL OF THEM SO NOT LET ANYTHING START TO RUN ON YOUR PHONE. NOW AT THE STEP OF SETTING UP iCloud OR iTunes CHOOSE SKIP OR IF IT WON’T LET YOU SKIP CHOOSE “SET UP WITH iTunes” AND LET YOUR PHONE CONNECT TO iTunes. (REMEMBER DO NOT LET YOUR PHONE SYNC AT THIS POINT EITHER…STOP IT !!
NOW AT THIS POINT YOU ARE GOING TO DO PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING BUT AS YOU WILL SEE IT WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
AGAIN CHOOSE THE “SUMMARY” TAB AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN YOU WILL SEE “UPDATE” OR “RESTORE”, THIS TIME YOU ARE GOING TO CHOOSE “RESTORE”! IT’S O.K. PUSH IT, DON’T BE SCARED…EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. LOL
NOW THIS PART IS CRITICAL…AFTER YOU CLICK “RESTORE” THE NEXT SCREEN YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT (AND I DON’T REMEMBER IS IT PROCEEDS WITH THE RESTORE OR IF YOU HAVE ONE MORE OPTIONS SCREEN) IS EITHER ONE THAT ASKS IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE TO LIKE NEW FACTORY SETTINGS OR HAS A TEXT BOX TO CHOOSE THE PHONE NAME…EITHER WAY…YOU WANT TO CHOOSE RESTORE PHONE TO FACTORY SETTING (LIKE NEW) THEN WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT A SCREEN THAT READS “iPhone Name” AND IS HIGHLIGHTED CHOOSE THE NAME YOU WANT YOU PHONE TO BE. THEN RIGHT BELOW THAT IS A FEW “CHECK BOXES” UN-SELECT THE ONE THAT READS SYNC AND RESTORE TO A BACK-UP. YOU DO NOT WANT TO RESTORE TO A BACK-UP !!!!
NOW ONCE THE RESTORE PROCESS HAS FINISHED AND YOUR PHONE HAS RE-BOOTED YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT A SCREEN THAT ASKS YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR COUNTRY, AGAIN GO THROUGH ALL THE STEPS AND AGAIN DO NOT CHOOSE YES TO ANY OF THE OPTIONS LIKE SIRI OR LOCATION SERVICES OR iCloud. CHOOSE NO TO ALL. IT MAY NOT LET YOU CONTINUE PAST THE iTunes ACCOUNT PART IF NOT GO AHEAD AND ENTER IN YOUR iTunes INFO I.E. EMAIL & PASSORD.
NOW YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT A PHONE THAT LOOKS AS PLAIN AS THE DAY YOU BOUGHT IT !!!! EXCITING HUH?...J/K THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. NOW WHAT I DID AT THIS POINT IS A HARD RESTART WHERE YOU HOLD THE “HOME” BUTTON AND THE “LOCK SCREEN” BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME LET THE PHONE BLACK OUT AND KEEP HOLDING THEM UNTIL YOU SEE THE APPLE ICON, NOW LET GO OF THEM BOTH.
AFTER THAT DO A SOFT RESET THIS IS WHEN YOU HOLD JUST THE “LOCK SCREEN” BUTTON UNTIL THE “POWER OFF” SLIDER APPEARS AT THE TOP, WHEN IT DOES GO AHEAD AND SLIDE IT TO TURN YOU PHONE OFF.
AFTER A MOMENT TURN YOU PHONE BACK ON
AFTER PHONE BOOTS UP GO INTO "SETTINGS" AND CHOOSE RESET ALL SETTINGS AND LET IT CYCLE THROUGH AGAIN.
NOW AFTER PHONE POWERS BACK UP, PLUG IT INTO YOUR COMPUTER AND OPEN iTunes, AGAIN STOP THE SYNC PROCESS !!!!!
O.K. NOW STILL IN iTunes CHOOSE THE “APPS” TAB AND LOOK AND MAKE SURE YOU WANT THE APPS THAT ARE THERE AND WAITING TO BE SYNCD IF YOU DO NOT WANT THEM ALL UN-CHECK THE ONES THAT YOU DON’T WANT. THIS MAY BE A GOOD TIME TO BE “CHOOSY” AND NOT PUT A BUNCH OF JUNK ON YOUR PHONE THAT MAY NOT LET YOU KNOW IF THE UPDATE “TOOK” SO TO SPEAK.
AFTER CHOOSING APPS YOU WANT GO AHEAD AND CHECK THE SYNC BOX AND CLICK SYNC AT THE BOTTOM.
AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR APPS ON YOUR PHONE YOU CAN GO TO “SETTINGS” AND GO TO THE iCloud TAB AND ENTER IN YOUR iCloud ACCOUNT SIGN IN INFO. ONCE YOU DO THAT TURN OFF THE THINGS YOU DON’T WANT IT TO BACK UP. MATTER OF FACT I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND THE ONLY ONE THAT I LET “KEEP INFORMATION ON PHONE” WAS CONTACTS. (REMEMBER EARLIER WHEN WE WHERE HERE AND I MENTIONED WE WOULD COME BACK TO THIS LATER? WELL HERE WE ARE…ONLY FOR CONTACTS)
AFTER SYNCING CONTACTS (AND GIVE IT A FEW MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD THEM ALL) I CHOSE TO DELETED MY iCloud ACCOUNT AND KEEP CONTACTS INFO ON PHONE. (YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT IT MAY RUN IN THE BACKGROUND ALL THE TIME AND MESS YOUR UPDATE UP) USE AT OWN RISK
NOW GO BACK INTO YOUR SETTINGS AND SET EVERYTHING UP LIKE YOU WANT IT LIKE YOUR SOUNDS ETC., I KEEP AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS OFF AND SET IT ABOUT 1/3 THE WAY UP, ON YOUR EMAILS I SET MINE UP NOT TO “PUSH” I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD ANY NEW EMAILS WHEN I ACTUALLY OPEN MY EMAIL APP.
WELL THERE YOU GO…I HOPE IT HELPS YOU GET YOU PHONE BACK (AND YOUR LIFE) LOL
HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP YOU, AGAIN I FEEL THAT THIS IS WHY WE HAVEN’T HEARD MORE FROM APPLE, THEY KNOW IT WORKS, IT’S JUST DO-IT-YOURSELF USERS LIKE US THAT DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO-IT-OURSELVES THE CORRECT WAY.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND PATIENCE !!
I WILL TRY TO ATTACH SOME PICTURES TO SHOW MY USAGE AND BATTERY LIFE FROM 1:00 AM FRIDAY TO ABOUT 8:00 AM MONDAY MORNING !!!

Is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?

As asked in the title, is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?
I am very unsatisfied with my latest purchase of the album "Never take ffriendship personal" by "Anberlin" ...
I can find all the songs in much better quality, even on YouTube ...
I bought two other albums by Anberlin at the same time, on which the sound quality is much much better and perfectly clear.
is it possible to get some sort of refund ???
