IPhone 5 Battery Problems
My iPhone 5 that I got a week ago has had one real problems with the battery. I have tried all the normal solutions like turning LTE off, location services, turning down the brightness of my screen, restarting my phone and so on. It's seems lik I can just watch my battery like go down as I watch it. Losing a percent or two every 1-2 mins. Listening to music and doing other things speeds its decline even more. I am not sure if its hardware in my phone or something else. I have updated to iOS 6.1 and yet still no help. Is this a problem with my phone, network, or software? Any suggestions it took 4% of my battery life just to post this using my phone.
Like many of the previous updates, 8.3 gratuitously adds or turns on many services that can drain the battery. So you will need to go thru the entire Settings menagerie of controls and turn off everything you don't need and/or reset back to your liking.
As a side note, for iPhone 5 within a certain range of serial #'s Apple has a battery replacement program which you may want to consider as it essentially gives you a new phone (fresh new battery), if you qualify: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

Does the IOS 5 resolve the iPhone battery problem experienced in IOS 4.3X?
Does the IOS 5 resolve the iPhone battery problem experienced due to the IOS 4.3X updates, i am using an iPhone 4 and am facing major battery drains after the IOS 4.3.3 update. Anything indication on this yet available or any feedbacks on this from the test runs? Really hoping that this is corrected after y'days IOS 5 announcement!
Not really.
Just installed the update last night and the update automatically turns ALL the apps "ON" by default so each user much check their phone's settings after each major update.
My iPhone 4's battery was running down quicker after the update. I turned off as many apps that were running in the background and checked the other settings.
I just found out that Bluetooth was turned "ON" by default, a feature I never used, so I turned it off. THIS was probably the real culprit.
The update is still too new to know if it fixed the battery life or not. Given Apple's history with battery life with the devices, don't count on it! -
Iphone Battery Problems - Randomly Turning Off
I've had my iPhone 3GS 32GB since around October last year and all has been well until about a week ago. I was on firmware 3.1.2 and my phone started to randomly turn itself off, even when the battery was displaying a high percentage. Before this I had also noticed that my battery seemed to be draining a lot faster than it used to.
In an attempt to fix it I restored my phone to a backup and so it put me onto the new 3.1.3 firmware. I thought this may have fixed it but its made it even worse! Its now turning itself off several times a day and the battery percentage jumps about from extreme to extreme (from say 70% to 5% to 59% etc). I took it in to an Apple store where they ran a diagnostic and it showed that there was no hardware fault.
Has anyone else had problems like this? And more importantly can anyone suggest a way to fix it?
All help will be appreciatedJymoz - did you resolve this? Last week O2 replaced my 3G 16gb iphone with a 3G S version. I used itunes to restore the new phone with my old phone files & settings. But 4 times in the last 7 days the phone has randomly turned itself off. Either I'm using email, or a game or its just on the home screen and all of a sudden the screen goes black, I get the small circle used to show a page is loading, and then it turns completely off. I wondered if you solved your problem, or if anyone has any ideas about my issue? Thanks for any help.

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1
There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public. -
Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!
Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
Hope this helps!
DylanI would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power. -
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.

Whenever I am browsing the internet or playing a game, the battery is dropping by 15-30 % daily. I am able to use only 70 percent of the fully charged Iphone battery in this way. ! It is very frustrating with this kind of thing from Apple. Can any body please help me out ! I love iPhone but this prolonged problem is giving me a lot of headache ! Any hellp will be appreciated.
How long are you using internet for? Are you using WiFi or mobile data? Are you watching video on websites? There are many variables that could explain a perfectly natural battery drain. As I said previously you should try recalibrating the battery. My phone used to drain by mid-afternoon with little to no use until I found out about recalibrating. Since then its been fine and its something I do at least once a month.

Hi, after updating my iphone since 2 weeks back now i am facing a battery problem i charce fully my iphone and by the end of the day my iphone shuts down it needs to be charged again and if i didi some calles it leaks after few hours. Please adivse me what to do.
I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you. -

That could be the reason if you have a weak cellular data signal. -

Hi I went to an Apple store in sydney regarding a battery problem on my Iphone . All the think its the phone settings but my question is what the point of giving the facilities in phone if we are not suppose to use those?
Your question/request is incomprehensible.
This much can be understood:
You have an iPhone (model unknown)
You have some sort of battery issue (exact kind unknown)
You went to the Apple Store in Sydney (presumably, Australia)
You did not achieve satisfaction on said visit.
So, throw a shrimp on the barbie while you explain yourself, mate! -
What is this noise, and battery problem on Iphone 4S
There was a battery problem on Iphone 4s so i was worried to buy it, but once I heard that Apple published new ios 5.0.1, I went down to the Apple store near to my house, and I bought Iphone 4S. First time meet with Iphone 4S great Siri, and more faster processer, I liked it, but after I used for 1 week I found many problems, there was battery problem still, and even there was noise problem, expeciallly the noise problem is annoying because when I phone call to my friend or home I can hear it very clealy...
please fix it appleReset, will reset the battery meter is this is the problem. To Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If not better, try tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. The set up your iPhone again. If not better, you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware, I would perform this with iTunes on your computer.

Iphone 4s battery problems PLEASE HELP
I got my 4s about a week ago. The first couple of days i noticed the battery would go down pretty quick. So i looked online and seen all these different ways to save battery life by switching the settings around. I did all of the recommended changes ( location, brightness, etc.) i had already charged the phone the same way i would charge any phone before i read the full discharge full recharge. I did that two nights in a row and since then i let it get to atleast 2% before i charge it. Last night i put it on the charger around 20% maybe a little more and it definatley overcharged for an hour or two before i took it off. When i go to work i leave it in my locker and go on it during breaks. Normally it would never change the % while on standby and it would go down 1 maybe 2% while i use it. Today by the time it was lunch break it was down to 80%. As i type this my battery is at 64% with 2 hours and 31 minutes usage and 16 hours, 5 minutes of standby.
What happened to it? It bothers me so much cause i love the phone and it was doing good until today.
I JUST NOTICED that there is a new software update iOS 5.1.1. Could this sudden battery problem have occured because i am running older software??!!You've probabaly just installed and left running more applications. Applications dont entirely close when you hit the home screen. You've probabaly notice when you turn on your phone you have to wait through the loading screen for many applications. After that they sit on the memory of the phone, and the phone uses some battery retaining the state of each application. In Stand-By and still when powered down, your battery will slowly drain (less so when powered down).
You may want to start force closing apps or occasionally powering down your iPhone. Additionally, the battery is not a NiCad battery where you can't charge it when it's at 80% or you'll risk causing the "battery memory" to max at 80%. The iPhone batteries are fine to be charged when they're at 95%. That said, Apple does recommend dispersing the battery to 0% atleast once a month. These batteries do have a battery charge cycle, ie: after so many charges the drain will begin to occur, but it's alot better than say your R/C car battery, or your typical rechargable triple 'A' battery.
On another note, I do recommend you run the latest updates, if there ever is a battery issue and they know about it, they'll try to address the issue. -
