IPhone is warm & battery is draining quickly with NO use

I have a 3GS 16G - less than a year old.
The last couple of days, it's felt excessively warm to the touch and the battery is draining REALLY fast. It's got less than a quarter of battery life right now and it's only noon. It is not in use right now either - I think I've made one phone call today and was on Facebook a bit earlier this morning, but I don't overuse it.
Any thoughts?

Wounds as if you have something stuck that is running. Do you have email set to check at specific intervals? Have you tried any of the user troubleshooting? Try to cycle the power, by turning the phone off/on. If that doesn't do it, you could do a reset, which does not affect data, hold the home and power buttons down together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen. See if that takes care of it.

    Your battery is running quickly because your cellular data connection is weak.

    Are there apps on your phone right now? 
    I think one of your apps is causing this.
    The only way to find out is to delete them all and then add them one by one to see what app maybe causing this.
    Especially if you've gone thru 3 iphones already.
    When you restored as new - did you sync back your stuff - apps/music or did you restore from backup?

  • Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7?

    Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7? Charged to 100%. Unplugged and opened up an hour later. Down to 88%. Why? No apps open.

    I think it might also be a bug, my 4S went down to 1% I could actually see it go down from 18% just like a watch. The phone started at about 60% and went down to 1% in about an hour but the useage still stated I had over 6 hours of stand by time, when I plugged in the phone to charge it jumped from 1% to 27%.

  • New battery still drains while not in use

    A few months ago I noticed a battery performance issue on my 1 gen nano (quickly discharged, drained while not in use). I bought it the day they were available in stores (which was in 2005) so assumed I just needed to replace the battery. I installed a new battery and fully charged it with the ac adapter. However, I'm still having the same problem. After some troubleshooting, I found that it played for 5 hours on a continuous loop with no EQ and backscreen light off. The battery was fully drained. I again recharged in with the ac adapter to make sure the battery meter was recalibrated. After it was fully charged again I placed it on my desk and didn't use it. However after another 5 hours or so it was drained again. This is my second purchased battery so I doubt it's the battery. I have restored the nano numerous times. Any thoughts as why a new battery would drain while not in use? Could this be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance!!

    You either have an alarm set in clock or calendar which is causing it to play while you think it is off or you have a logic board short. I'd bet on the latter. You can have it diagnosed at http://www.iresq.com for $9 or Google for other 3rd party repair sites.

  • HT3743 got a new iphone 5 what is up with the battery it drains quicker than my bath

    Tried reset reboot and full system wipe and set up as new all make no difference
    Reminds me of the Philips brick I had in 1997

  • Iphone 4 battery runs completely down with no use in an hour or two.

    My Iphone 4 battery, out of the blue, started running completely down in a couple hours with no use.  I would take it off the charger reading 100% and not do a thing, but the unit will get pretty warm and the battery drains.  The phone is only 3 months old and two days ago I was getting a full day to a day and a half with my ususal usage.  Anyone know what is causing this or a fix? I've tried shutting down and rebooting and for software updates?  Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks, Josh

    One thing to try is cleaning iPhone Dock Port with a clean dry toothbrush.
    If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
    Another is to clean the dock port again with the toothbrush and a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, especially clean the pins which are on top of the Dock Mid Rib.
    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the 'slide to power off' slider.
    Restore Firmware, at end when iTunes asks, Restore as New, not from backup.

  • Iphone 4S losing battery life VERY quickly

    Just recently my Iphone 4S has been losing battery life VERY quickly.  I have heard that it may have something to do with a IOS update.  I also have heard from several people that they have suddenly been experiencing the same thing.  Does anyone have a fix to problem?  If so, how?

    Many people are having similar issues, especially since the release of iOS6. I went to the Apple store and the first and only thing the fellow did was disable location serivces for the apps that did not really need it, and that doubled my battery life.

  • Iphone 5 battery suddening draining when not in use

    Had my iphone 5 for about 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life. But literally out of no where the battery started draining super fast. Dropping 15% in 30 minutes when not in used. Here's the deal...nothing has changed ie locations, email, icloud etc. And quite honestly what is the freaking point of having those things if it drains the battery at unreasonable speeds. So I completely frustrated with Apple for at least not saying "we understand theres and issue and we are working on it." I will never switch cuz I'm an idiot Apple diehard but there have been so many bugs of late it's just frustrating. Also at the same time of the fast drain when I swipe to delete a text the delete button dissapears within one second. Both issues came on at the same time. I'm trying reseting the battery, restoring, unchecking notifications and a bunch of other features which is so stupid... whats the point of having a smart phone if you can't use the features? So I am going to demand a new phone and I know the Apple Genius guys who are so far from genius its pathetic are going to say nothing is wrong with the phone haha, just like the did with the super slow WiFi connections I get...they were completely unaware that there was a problem with iphones and Wifi cuz of course at the Apple Store the Wifi flies when they test it there but of course once you go back to your home or business the Wifi is back to super slow. Wow the things we put up with. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

  • Ipod Touch Battery is Drained even with the Ipod Turned off? and how long the batery goes on Stant Mode?

    Hy ;D I bought an Ipod touch 4G 3 mouth ago , and recently the i noticed that the battery is drained even off .... is that normal? I turn him off( with the red bar) and put out side the bed , when i Wake up tha batery is about 80% ... (no Wi-Fi on)
    And How long the ipod battery goes with the stant mode ?
    Thanks alot for any one

    I did a test on mine.
    My 4th generation model running 4.3.1 last 10 days on and in sleep mode.
    At the end of 10 days I got the 20% low battery warning.
    I would try a RESET on yours.
    Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
    It will reset and restart itself in a few minutes.
    See if that helps.

  • HT1476 When in mail box the battery is drained quickly

    When I go into mail the loading icon is on constantly and the battery is drained  I think something is running in that programme but have no idea how to find it and turn it off

    Of course something is running constantly.  One of the email accounts is not syncing.
    Figure out which account is constantly trying to send email, most likely a message is stuck in one of the outboxes and either delete the message or delete and re-add the account.
