IPhone battery dying after few hours from 100% charge

Since I upgraded to the iOS 5.1 my battery life on the iPhone 4S has been ridiculous.
For example, I left my house at 740am with my phone on 100%, I have browsed a little (safari and facebook) for no more than 20-30 mins in total. No apps are not running in the background as I ensure to close apps once i have finished with them. And now at 1400 I am left with 28% battery. i am not due to be at home until 1900.
Have I been unlucky with getting a dodgy iPhone from Orange?? the model is MD242B if that helps.
Also, notifications and banners are all turned off except for phone, messages, whatsapp, remainders, calendar.
I am careful not to over charge my phone, I do use an app called BatteryDoc to monitor my charging.
I always let my battery go flat before charging to 100% (with no trickle change), i believe this is a normal charge and what BatteryDoc advises i perform a full charge..
I am slowly regretting this phone after 6 months now.......
any input is welcome.
Thanks,
Cookie

This was driving me insane too. I love my iphone but this is the one flaw. I tried all the "maximizing battery life" suggestions, and it helped slightly.
I have one suggestions: buy an iphone battery case. I bought one off ebay for $29.99 and it is amazing. Nearly doubles the battery and is way nicer than the one at Apple (not to mention 1/4 of the price). The item number is 200795419418 on eBay in case you are interested.
Hope That Helped!!

Update my 4 to iOS 7 this afternoon, battery died in 4 hrs from full charge

after updating the ios, updating all the apps, all while plugged in i made sure all my apps were closed and went to dinner, the battery was at 100% . at dinner and while waiting for the table i did a couple facebook posts replies, looked up one search on safari and checked my email once and once only. i noticed the battery was draining realy fast so i put it away until i got home at which point it was down to 17%. by the time i got the dogs out to walk and came back 15 mins tops it was at 11% and i didnt even have it in hand.
before the update this battery lasted ALL DAY with more activity including phone calls!!!!!
WHAT's up with this Apple? this has got to get fixed, its unacceptable that this iOS was put out there with such deplorable battery consumption (no, this is not the omly place you will see concerns about battery life with iOS 7)
i say fix it or give your customers a rollback option.

i'll try this. Thanks.
do you recommend those battery Dr. Apps? do they even work?
- this is the thing, i dont do anything crazy; standard stuff like checking emails, responding to txt's; phone calls that last no more than 5-6mins tops. But i've noticed that i used to be able to run all day without issues, and recently (i'd say about a month) i'll use it for 20mins and and i'll see it go from 100% to 65% in a flash... it messes me up for the rest of the day.
even today for example... i saw this reply on my phone and i was at 36%. by the time i read the post, did all the recommended things in the article; the phone died. and that took no more than 10mins to do all that. so i'm stumpped.
never had this problem before, then poof.... and i have 4 iphones; (iphone 5, iphone 4s and 2 iphone 4's) iphone 5 and 4s are on ios7 and have this same problem; the 4's are still on ios 6 and are running like well oiled machines. i hope this works.
any other suggestions, send them my way. and i'll keep you posted on my end.
thanks for the help.

Iphone 4 dying & shutting off at 70-100% charged?

i have the iphone 4, since march. i never had ANY issues. it lasted me a day and a half, 2 days, without charge. or i would just charge over night while i slept. after i upgraded to iOs 5, my battery started dying so quick. i upgraded to 5.0.1., still doing this!!! Also, my phone will be at 70-100% charged, and it will just shut off (die).. it says I need to charge it, but as soon as i do plug it back in, the battery % is still the 70-100% , whichever % the phone shut off on me. (even with upgrade to 5.0.1) Anybody else ever have this issue along with this battery life?

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. DONT CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO A COMPUTER.
If that doesnt work perform a back up and restore
Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
or back it up to a computer
after that preform a restore by going to
general>reset>erase all content and settings

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.

My IPhone 4S keeps entering recovery mode after few hours

Hi,
I bought a new IPhone 4S from 12/2011. The first month of usage is fine but after I plug it into Itunes in my PC, problems start to appear. The phone keeps entering recovery mode (screen with itunes logo and USB cable) after a few days. Not long later, it automatically goes into recovery mode after 4-5 hours or randomly. I tried to hold the power with home button to kick it out but it goes back to recovery mode again after few hours. The following issues are also detected:
- Sometimes there is a blue horizontal line appear when device is rebooting with Apple logo.
- Any apps other than Apple's default apps cannot be accessed (tap the icon and it gets kick out to the home screen).
- A yellow screen is often seen and then device goes back to recovery mode by itself.
- 2 to 3 out of 10 attempts holding home and power buttons can get it out of recovery mode while 7-8 times this does not help.
I even use Itunes on PC to recover the phone as new Iphone. I went through all the settings as a new phone but the problem still persists.
I thought this is minor software issue but after seeing all these behaviors, I suspect this may a hardware-related problem.
Did anyone experience this problem before?
Cheers.

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

HT1495 how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

Thanks Eric,
After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
Thanks for helping me out.
Cheers, Rob

IMac won't allow me to login after few hours

Hi everyone...
My iMac won't allow me to login after few hours. Actually I had a limited broadband connection which is free from 2AM to 8AM. So I have scheduled some downloads to start at 2AM and end at 8AM. Before going to bed, I just put on the screen saver. When I wake early in the morning and move my mouse.. blank screen turns on and colorful spinning wheel appears, but log-in window doesn't appear. This has happened thrice till now. Day before yesterday it was fine. But yesterday and today I got the same problem. Previously also it was working fine. I can't figure out why it is behaving like this...
Initially, in Power save options, I scheduled iMac to wake up at 2AM and sleep at 8AM and then used to put iMac to sleep before going to bed. It was working fine and did the same thing for more than a month. Now I have removed wakeup & sleep scheduled options from Power save options.
Following are the settings/options selected:
1. In energy save options, I have selected the option not to put iMac to sleep when it is inactive for certain time.
2. Put hard-disks to sleep whenever possible is checked.
3. I have scheduled the downloads in Azureus, Transmission and Speed download 5.
Following are the temps and rpms:
Temps:
HD: iMac, Vista: 124 F
CPU A: 117
Airport Card: 151 F
Ambient: 83 F
GPU: 133 F
GPU Diode: 137 F
GPU Heatsink: 137 F
HD Bay1: 124 F
Mem Controller: 121 F
Optical Drive: 110 F
Power supply1: 162 F
Fans:
CPU Fan: 1198 rpm
Hard Drive: 1199rpm
Optical Drive: 998rpm
One more thing, recently I have reset the SMU because it is taking too long to boot up. To my surprise, after restarting, fan (not sure which one) started to make bigger sounds. I then had to reset SMU two times and only then fan started to spin normally without any noise. I'm scared & worried...
Someone please help me where I went wrong.... what can I do to solve this problem..
You know I purchased this iMac for Rs.86000/- INR ($2097 approx.) ... after two months they slashed the prices by Rs.20000/- INR($487 approx.)... so this is how my luck seems to be

Hello and sorry. First, if you reset the SMU. make sure you do not hold the power button down while reconnecting the cable or it will reset the SMC incorrectly.
When you say you are logging in, are you logging onto the internet, or onto the computer/user account?
If it is intermittent than it sounds like your internet and that would be best handled by your internet provider first.
The following article is good for troubleshooting issues and you may wish to bookmark it.

Do you have the install dvd's for the computer with you?

If it is your internet you are referring to than try going to the Apple in the top left corner and clicking on it.
Than click on the System Preferences
Then click on Network
Then click on Assist Me.
Then Assistant
Maybe call it Test Location
go through the steps involved and see the outcome.

VSS snapshot of 1.1TB is ending after few hours with timeout. No errors in event log

Hello,
does someone have experienced issue where starting making snapshot (forum GUI or command line) is taking a lot of time and then it just ends with timeout?
I have scenario on virtualised Windows Web Server 2008 R2 where backup is being made by Idera Backup Software but since it relies on VSS Snapshots then we can just skip this point because making snapshots from directly Windows command line or drive preferences/GUI
is ending with timeout for this single drive after few hours. Affected system has 3 drives: C - 95GB, D-1.06TB and E-120GB. C and E can be backuped correctly and only drive D has problems. System is updated with latest drivers vssadmin for writers returns
list without any errors and snapshot for drive D which ends with timeout is not generating any error in event log. I wanted to configure VSS trace like it is being instructed on this site:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.tshoot.doc%2Ft_pdg_traceprfrm.html
but I don't see any trace.txt file on given location. If I remove drive D from backup process it ends without errors. System was restarted many times. Only thing which is visible in windows Event log (application part) is that "The VSS service is shutting
down due to idle timeout." about 4 hours after snapshot making proces is starting.
I've contacted Idera backup about this but they can't help too much if Windows snapshot process is failing. They suggested that something can be wrong with this drive but since this is virtualised machine and all of my VM are being stored on RAID10 disk
array connected to my server using fiber connections then I don't think that this is hardware issue (especially when other two drives are located on the same LUN on disk array).
Any suggestions?
Regards

Hi,
Do you create VMs on Hyper-V or VMWare? Based on research, possible causes could be:
1. Files changes in the volume is very huge. So the shadow size may be big and the current shadow storage my not able to hold it. And that’s cause the shadow copy creation failure.
2. The I/O in D drive is heavy and make the shadow copy I/O failed.
3. Server is too busy to handle the request.
4. The disk is heavily defragment.
Please refer to the articles to troubleshoot the issue:
Time-out errors occur in Volume Shadow Copy service writers, and shadow copies are lost during backup and during times when there are high levels of input/output

IPhone 6 dies after 4 hours, Wi-Fi is slow, phone signal is week

Does anyone here have a the same situation like mine? My iPhone was dead after 4 hours running constantly even though I had set sleep mode to 1 minute. I was working and had my phone in the pant pocket, I didn't notice until it was at 20% and got really hot, but I was too busy to care about it and after 10 more mins its dead. Freak out. lol
Now is Wifi module issue. My TV connect to the same Wi-fi router as my phone, while I was able to watch movie on Netflix on the TV, I couldn't even load the app from App Store. Well even thought TV consumes more data by watching movie but I have Blast internet plan with Xfinity which gives me up to 40Mb/s speed. So TV definitely is not main cause.
Third issue, Verizon signal is always 3 bars everywhere I'd been. What the heck, Verizon has a most coverage tho. Same thing happens to my girlfriend iphone 6.
Any idea?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device? Have you been through ALL these troubleshooting steps yet?

Sound gets off after few hours Satellite L745

Hi,
I have Satellite L745 model, bought 4 months back.
Two days before, I was using internal speakers for watching movie and after 2 or more hours there was no sound from the internal speakers of the laptop. So I tried other sound tracks, youtube etc but there was no sound from the internal speakers nor from headphones. I thought sound card is burnt as I was feeling hot right above the audio jack input. So I switched off the laptop for 30 minutes and switched on again, and found that it was working fine, there was sound from both internal and external headphones.
Yesterday night same problem happened again, there was sound, working fine but suddenly after few hours there is no sound. I switched off the sound track and waited 5 minutes and again switched on the sound track then there was sound for few seconds but then again no sound. So I did same switched off the computer for 30 minutes and checked again then there was sound from the interanl and external both.
I dont know what is the problem I did call service centre for technical assistance and he told me to re-install the drivers I did so. To check whether it is working fine now or not I need to switch on my laptop and sound track on for more than 3 hours.
Any one experiencing such problem or any assistance from Toshiba technicians will be welcome.
Thank you.
Dileep

I had exactly the same problem during the reproduction of a youtube video or any other sound from a music file or a video played in Windows Media Player, if i don't put the level of the volume at the top, the problem doesn't exist. I updated the drivers of the sound card Conexant Cx20585 @ Intel Cougar Point PCH, as well as the drivers of the BIOS, but nothing improved. Previously I did the system restore, but then I started to update the drivers since the restoration did not solve the problem.
I can not think what else to do, at least I'm relieved not to be the only one with the same model and the same problem notebook, Toshiba staff stay tuned!
Thank you!
PS: sorry for my English, it should not be the best, I'm from Argentina.

Ipod wont turn on unless I restore it and even if I do it turns off after few hours and wont turn on again unless i restore it again?

ipod wont turn on unless I restore it and even if I do it turns off after few hours and wont turn on again unless i restore it again?

Are you restoring the iPod from a previous back or to factory settings? If you haven't restored to factory settings yet, I would do that next. And if the problem still continues, it's most likely hardware related, in which case you'll want to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to have them take a look at it.

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.
