IPhone 5 IOS 7 battery dead when really at 29% after taking photos
My iPhone 5 (1 year old now) has started having a battery problem since I upgraded to IOS 7. It will shut itself off under these circumstances:
battery is below 40%
I take a number of photos using the Apple Camera app
photos taken in rapid sequence (no flash) or one or two taken with flash
The next thing I know I see the radar symbol and the phone shuts off. If I try to turn it on I get the drained battery icon with the power plug moving into the screen an it turns off.
I then plug it in to turn it on and find that the battery is still around 30%. If I am not near my charger, I can wait about a half hour and power the phone on. I just did that and the battery is at 29%.
What is going on? This is not right. I've never seen this before and have had 2 other iPhones. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
Hello there, avatarsound11.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good pointers for troubleshooting the issue you are having:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge.
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
OSorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure. -
My wifi disconnect from iphone 4g ios 7.0.3 when locked.
when my iphone 4G ios 7.0.3 is locked my wifi connection disconnects and i can't get notifications from facebook,skype and twitter and when i switched on my iphone wifi connects again and the issue is with my ipad mini ios 7.0.3 also...!!
So is your phone TURNED OFF, or is it just in sleep?
Like wjosten stated, if it is switched off, nothing will update.
If it is in sleep, it should still receive updates, even if it is not persistently connected to WIFI.
It should at least connect every 15 or 30 minutes to fetch mail, and connect when someone sends an iMessage.
Facebook & Twitter should update when notifications come in.
This is even if it is not plugged in.
I keep my phone in front of me at work all day NOT plugged in, and I get notifications, emails, iMessages as they come in. I'm not saying my phone is persistently connected to WIFI, but it does connect periodically. -

When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?
iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

I've updated my iPhone 4S with the latest iOS 6 but battery life had never improved as I expected. A friend of my had recently replace his iPhone 3GS with iPhone 5 and both us compared our simillar daily usage of browsing, emails with attachments (work related), messaging (via iMessage, WhatsAppa, WeChat) games, facebook, tweet, uploading, etc, it seems that iPhone 5 last longer by 35-40% compared to my iPhone 4S. By. The time he hits 60-55% on his iPhone 5, my iPhone 4S Is less than 15%... My Questions to the community or any Apple Consultant, is it preferrable to replace my beloved iPhone 4S with iPhone 5 in order to accommodate the performances of iOS 6 and the "coming soon" iOS 7? Is it a practise to replace every iPhone when there's a new iOS update? Please advise.
It largely depends on how much money you are prepared to spend.
Your question is much like asking "I have last year's model car. This year, the car has some new features. Should I trade in last year's model and get this year's?" Well, maybe. It's your call.
Each newer generation introduces some new features and capabilities. -
Iphone 4 wont charge - battery dead
My iphone 4 has suddenly stopped charging for some reason. I've had no signs of battery problems at all before this.
I've read that some people have managed to fix this problem by doing a hard reset, but my battery was dead before I tried charging it so I can't do this. (when I try I get the connect to power image)
I've checked the phone for any signs of lint etc, and cant see anything obvious.
I've tried multiple cables and adapters and the usb slot on my macbook and none of these get any response at all. When I plug into a speaker dock I have got, I get the connect to power supply image on the screen.
The phone is 2 years old (almost to the day) seems they have made it last the exact length of my contract
Was wanting to hold off upgrading till the next iphone comes out
any suggestions?I am not able to tell you how to fix this (because I've not had luck doing this), but a Genius at a local Apple Store may be able to help. If you can not go to an Apple Store, you may want to contact Apple and tell them of the problem. If your iPhone has suffered water damage (even extreme moisture in the air can do that...unfortunately), you are probably out of luck.
I'm sorry I could not help you further.

IPhone 4 ios update times out when downloading in iTunes and won't update
I bought a new iPhone recently and sync'd it with my iTunes. Everything worked like a dream but for some reason, my iTunes has never successfully downloaded the latest ios updates and therefore haven't been able to update my iPhone4. I keep getting to the end of the download where I think it's going to process the update onto the device and instead I get an error message saying that my iTunes network connection has timed out?! Its definitely connected to the internet. Error 3259.
Does anyone else have the same problem and know the fix to this?This question is asked and answered over and over and over and over and over.......
Use the search box at the top of the page and type in "connection timed out". You'll find the answer to your question. -
Ever since downloading iOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 6, I've been experiencing quite a few issues (I am assuming all are related to the update, but not sure)
I apologize in advance for the lengthy post! Here goes:
• Screen constantly freezes--sometimes it freezes on the home screen (no apps open), other times when I am in Settings, Photos or any of my downloaded apps. Each time this happens I have to restart the phone by holding the home and lock buttons in order to unfreeze the screen...this happens approximately 4-5x per day.
• All of my apps either freeze or crash upon opening, and my Mail app either refuses to stay open or it will show an empty inbox with 'no mail' --even though my email has always been synced to the phone.
• I am not receiving a lot of iMessages or incoming calls to my iPhone, but most of the missing iMessages will appear on my MacBook Pro. And when I do receive iMessages normally, entire portions of certain conversations--both sent & received--keep disappearing (whether my iphone is on all day or if I have to restart it). *the convo that has gone MIA on my iPhone will still appear on the other persons phone.
• When I open Messages or Recent Call logs, the contact names do not appear..only 10-digit phone numbers. (Even though all of the #s are saved by name in Contacts).*This has only happened a few times so far.*
• Furthermore--and most frustrating!--my camera and photos are practically inaccessible. Almost every time I open 'Photos', the app crashes.. I have no available storage to use the camera so when I try to select photos and hit 'delete' the app crashes instead of deleting the photos.
• I have considered performing a factory reset... however, my iCloud states I have 4.6gb available (w/ 5gb plan) even though my photos are turned on in iCloud, and should be taking up most of the 5gb storage space..they appear 'On,' but do not show up under 'Manage Storage'...the only apps/documents/data shown are WhatsApp and Mail so I am afraid to reset the phone as I have no idea if the photos are actually backed up or not. (Screenshots are attached)
If anybody has been experiencing any of the same issues I would greatly appreciate your insight or advice for how to fix this! I'm hoping it is just a bug with the new iOS software and not an issue with my phone itself as it is only 3 months old.. Thank you in advance!**Adding to the final photo in my original post... When I select the 'Kendall Anderson's...This iPhone' using 324.2MB, Photo Library is turned 'On', but has 'No Data'....I know this is not possible because my photos that were previously backed up used up ~3.5GB of storage.
Either I am doing something wrong here, or my iPhone just has a mind of its own with this new update! -
Iphone 3gs ios 6.1 stuck in boot loop even after restore
What happen was it froze so I did a hard rest after that it stayed on a boot loop. Done restored it several times stayed the same after I do a restore itunes does recognize the iphone but it stays on the Apple logo can anyone help
Something does not sound right with your story. An iPhone 3g is only capable of running iOS4.2.1 and not 6.1.6. Since the iPhone now appears to have relocked itself to the original carrier, it sounds like that iPhone is jailbroken to allow it to run a version of iOS that it not supposed to and to unlock illegal from the original carrier. Either get you details straight or we can't help you.

Pls help...my phone just stopped detecting 3g, i called my provider and said that its a software issue. I did try restoring it to factory settings but no luck. Anybody can help me pls.. I would gladly appreciate it :(
Hi and i appreciate your help. Its been updated to 7.0.4 now but still no luck here :(

Itunes 10.6.3 not detecting IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 after mac updated to OSX 10.6.3
Sorry about the crazy long title. I updated my Mac 2 nights ago to OSX 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) and now Itunes 10.6.3 is not detecting my IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 when I plug it in. The phone still chirps when I plug it into the USB port. I can still get photos and video from the IPhone in IPhoto. How can I get my IPhone to sync with ITunes again? Any suggestions would be apprciated! Thanks!
Thank You! I just updated to OS X 10.6.8 and now my IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 will sync with ITunes 10.6.3. . I must be lucky as I did not update my ITunes to 10.7. I'm not even sure how I would do that? Do I have to buy it? When I tell my ITunes to chck for updates it says there is no update. Thanks again varjak paw! :-)
