IPhone4 will not hold a charge - This is my 3rd iPhone having this problem

Hi all -
I appreciate any help you can provide as I'm stuck and don't know what else to do.
Last September just before the iPhone4S was released, I purchased my very first iPhone which was a iPhone4.
About 3 months after owning my iPhone, the battery drained really fast.
I took the phone to the Apple store and they ran a thousands tests. Restores, backups, test for water damage, etc. etc.
They issued me a "new iPhone4".
about 4 months after that, the same thing happened to my phone (now my 2nd iPhone4).
LONG STORY SHORT - we did the same tests, several trips to the Apple store.
They said that because I plugged my phone in to my car radio, the radio pushed out too many amps and that drianed my battery.
I denied that and said that wasn't possiable, but OK, my bad. I won't use my iPhone with my car radio.
so they issued me ANOTHER "new" iPhone4 (now my 3rd & current one).
THIS TIME I MADE URE TO CHARGE MY PHONE CAREFULLY.
i've had this phone since July.
as with my first 2 phones, I've only used the original charger that came with my iPhone and have only plugged it in to the same oulet that my wife uses for her 4s (she has no issues). Here I am 3 months later, and AGAIN my iPhone drains fast and can not hold a charge.
after being at 100% battery life, I unplug it. Check emails, twitter and espn occasionally and within an hour i'm under 20% battery life.
Can anyone PLEASE help me? Am I doing something wrong?
I don't want to restore all my apps and things again. I don't ant a "new" phone. I just ant to keep this phone and have it retain a normal battery cycle.
PleaseHelp - Thank you

bring it into Apple for battery diagnostics.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Battery will not hold a charge

    My ipad 3 will not hold a charge on the battery, it has been pluged into the wall, using the provided wall charger, since noon. Now, it is 5pm and the battery is only around 40%. The iPad is still under the 1 year warrenty. Will apple replace the battery if the digitizer screen is broken? (it has a slight crack) Or is my warrenty void?

    You will need to take the iPad to Apple, the screen and battery are two different problems,but they could be related.  Apple will need to make that determination.  It will be very difficult to replace your battery without breaking the digitizer if it has a small crack.

  • Why can't I have the Samsung Haven replaced without paying for a new phone since the battery needed for this model will not hold a charge more then 24 hrs?

    The Haven is my husbands phone and he calls me from work every night and we talk about 15 minutes.  He calls my verizon phone so there is no charge but the problem we have is the phone will not stay charged.  We took it in and had it tested along with the house charge and the car charge.   All three device are fine so they ordered us a new battey.  We put that in and the same thing happens.  We don't text, receive text, take or send pictures.    We have texting blocked so nothing can use up his battery and yet it still dies.  Can you please tell me how we can get this phone replaced without buying a new one.  The contract isn't up for renewal until Oct. 2013.  We have been long time customers of verizon and I feel we should be able to get a product replaced if it is a defective product the company is selling.  It seems Verizon knows there is a problem since there have been so many complaint filed in the last 9 months.  If we buy something from Home Depot or Lowes and that product is not working right, they replace it and they go back to the companies that supply it.  I am willing to bet Samsung would take Verizon,s complaint more seriously then they would an average consummer.  Please tell me Verizon is finally listening to their customers.

        Hi THerman!
    We definitely don't want you having a phone described as a lemon so let's work on getting everything back up to a peachy status. What you've indicated is certainly an issue. So, let's fix this.
    First, when it comes to your calls not ringing or registering in your log, my recommendation is to update your phone. To do this, simply dial *228, choose option 2, wait for completion and for your phone to restart itself. This will have it resync with our network for optimal usage. Regarding the battery, personally I like to pull my battery every now and again for up to 60 seconds before reinserting (all while the phone is powered off). If you don't notice improvement, we may need to look into a replacement if life is shortlived below what was described prior.
