Iphone 5 not holding its charge

My iphone 5 looses its charge quickly without being used. I had it on the charger all night and it was only at 94%. It looses its charge in just a few hours with out use. It has just a couple of apps open.

There are a couple possibilities. What have you done so far to try to resolve this?
If you haven't already done so, first reset your iPhone (hold the Home & Sleep/Wake buttons until the Apple logo appears). If that doesn't help, connect your iPhone to iTunes, and make a full backup, then hit the "restore" button to re-download the iOS file from Apple and restores your machine with it. After restoring your backup, if the problem still exists, then Try restoring as a new device to see if the problem persists. If so, then your next step would be to try a Genius Bar appointment to see if the battery is just bad. If you are still under warranty (or Apple Care) then it might be a free replacement, otherwise it might be as high as an out of warranty $269 replacement.

IPod not holding its charge

I have had my iPod colour 60gb model for just over a month now and all of a sudden the battery is not holding its charge. It is literally going from full to empty in minutes. Anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar problem with a mini, (no not the car, the ipod!) and did a reset and then it held the charge next time.

HT4623 My ipad is not holding its charge. A 100% charge will only last a half day depending how much I use it

My ipad in not holding its charge. A 100% will only last a half of a day depending on how long I use it. 2yrs in december

batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out. Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.

My iphone will not hold a charge

my iphone will not hold a charge. This started approx 1 1/2 months ago. I have downloaded new update as i felt that was the reason for the issue, it was not. What else could be causing it to do this?

If brand new then yes .Back up and remove photos etc as Apple will replace if found faulty

Battery not holding its charge

My iPad battery is not holding its charge

How long does it stay charged?
Try this first - 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.)
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

All of a sudden my new iphone will not hold a charge even when it is not being used and I can't figure out why???

my battery drains even when iphone is not being used. It is a relatively new phone and this battery draining just started and I can't figure out why????

Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

HT201401 I have an iPhone 3GS and its not holding its charge and has a crack on the back how much to fix it

I have an iPhone 3GS and the phone doesn't hold it's charge and has a crack so how much to fix the phone as I love it and I can't afford a new one

You can do an out-of-warranty replacement of the phone with Apple for $149 USD.

Wot can i do about my iphone not holding its charge and getting very hot

The Warranty duration is the Warranty of the Original iPhone. If that Warranty has now lapsed, then the replacement has a 90 day Warranty from when you received the replacement iPhone.

HT1476 iPhone battery not holding a charge

Once I installed the new iphone 7 my battery would only hold a full charge for about 3 hours even though I was not using it

After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station. It will not hold a charge. What do I need to do?

My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked.. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!

Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

IPhone 4s battery not holding a charge

I just set up an account with AT&T and got a iphone 4s this was Wednesday 22nd May 2013, It didnt hold its charge, I had it charging all that night at 530am Thursday morning battery was at 100% by 8am that morning it was at 36% with light usage, ie, facebook, email, a couple of texts. Went back to AT&T they exchanged the phone for me, the same thing is happening. Should I take it back to AT&T or take it to Apple? So frustrated, we are currently driving across country to our next Army duty station having a new phone that requires constant charging is not helpful.

Hello there, Katronale2012.
Just to rule out usage, before you have to travel again, look over this document that talks about getting the most out of your iPhone's battery:
Apple - Batteries - iPhone
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
Specifically,
Optimize Your Settings
Depending on how they are configured, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. For example, the frequency with which you retrieve email and the number of email accounts you auto-check can both affect battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 5.0 or later and may help extend your battery life.
Adjust brightness: Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life. Go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness. In addition, turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust its brightness based on current lighting conditions. Go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and set Auto-Brightness to On.
Turn off push mail: If you have a push mail account such as Yahoo! or Microsoft Exchange, turn off push when you don’t need it. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and set Push to Off. Messages sent to your push email accounts will now be received on your phone based on the global Fetch setting rather than as they arrive.
Fetch new data less frequently: Applications such as Mail can be set to fetch data wirelessly at specific intervals. The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch new data manually, from the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly. Note that this is a global setting and applies to all applications that do not support push services.
Turn off push notifications: Some applications from the App Store use the Apple Push Notification service to alert you of new data. Applications that extensively rely on push notifications (such as instant messaging applications) may impact battery life. To disable push notifications, go to Settings > Notifications and disable notifications for select applications. Note that this does not prevent new data from being received when the application is opened. Also, the Notifications setting will not be visible if you do not have any applications installed that support push notifications.
Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services or use location services only when needed.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Because your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, it may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turning on Airplane Mode can increase battery life in these situations; however, you will be unable to make or receive calls. To turn on Airplane Mode, go to Settings and set Airplane Mode to On.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149. It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

The same is happening to me on my 4 and 4S... Before the software update my battery used to hold up to 1 day for both 4 and 4S. Now I have to charge twice a day the iPhone 4 and three times a day the 4S. Apple should really fix it... I hope they release a new update for iPhone 4 and 4S users...
