IPhone4s battery draining 1% every 2mins

Hi there, ive got an iPhone4S fully working no issues, and while using it with all battery saving tips it drains 1% every 2mins. Is that normal for a 4S to do that?
How long does your 4S last on a percentage? I really need to know ASAP cause its been bugging me for a while

IPhone4 battery draining when not in use

am just wondering if anyone experiencing battery draining when not in use? i charge my iphone4 before going to bed and woke up this morning to realise that my battery had drain 22% on stand by... is this normal? can anyone confirm it to me please, thank you

Just an update guys --after draining (on standby) over 20% of my battery charge last week, it has risen to or about 40+% in the last couple of days. I haven't changed any settings or whatsoever. I had to charged it twice during the day yesterday and it was bloody frustrating. anyway, i went to the apple shop today and told them the problem... they scanned my iphone4's battery and it was evident and showed when was the last time it was charged and how much battery life has it lost throughout the day. After scanning my iphone we did not even have to discuss repair or do any setting or software checks. I was gobsmacked --as i did not have to ask for a replacement, I was immediately offered a swap to a brand new iPhone4... lucky me? umm, i don't know...maybe? But the thing is, they seemed to be aware of the problem and they are keeping a low profile on tackling the problem. so my suggestion is if anyone has a battery problem with their unit, take it to apple and have the battery scan. As such, i have to wait and see if this new unit will present the same problem, although i must admit, for some reason, this new unit has a slight different behaviour than my previous iphone4.
Other issues on my previous iPhone4:
1. frequently dropping signal --not a problem with the new replacement unit
2. if i turn off my "phone" feature on the multitasking bar, red dot appears on the phone icon and i couldn't make a call as it seemed blocked and it kept asking me to set-up the voicemail feature every time --again, not a problem with the new unit.
3. even my tomtom app has changed its behaviour, i have discovered new features without updating the app --strange isn't it?
4. playing NOVA game was a pain with the previous unit as i kept getting network problem and interrupting the game.
5. it kept shuffling my music when i'm using ipod whilst walking. imagine, hearing about 8 different tunes in a span of 5 seconds...
anyway, time will tell with this new unit as i have kept the same settings from my previous unit and uploaded my previous back-up data and apps. so it would be like having my old iphone4 and we'll see in the morning if it will drain on stand by as well --i hope not 'cos am getting really frustrated with it. oh, by the way, blue tooth feature don't work with my new replacement unit --NICE!!!

This setting is designed to help conserve the health of your battery if you tend to use your laptop while plugged in. It's not good for the battery to be held at 100% for long periods of time, so instead this setting stops chargins when the battery reaches 60% to prevent battery damage.

Iphone4s battery drain

iphone4s.. battery goes from 100pct to 20 pct within 8 hours of low useage and no applications running. What gives?

I bet it is the OS5 and not the phone. I've got a two year old 3Gs and since I upgraded to OS5 this weekend my battery usage is about 40% worse. I'd change back to OS4 if I could.

IPhone 4 battery draining more than usual? Maybe because of 6.1.3?

Hey, I have noticed that ever since I have updated to my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 the battery has drained more than usual. My battery drains about 1% per minute. Sometimes it drains even when I'm not using the phone? Is there any solution to fix this problem? I would REALLY appreciate it!

The battery drains on every phone when not being actively used. There are processes going on in the background such as an email account or accounts being checked for new messages depending on your Fetch setting for email. Depending on the cellular reception at the time, more battery will be used when reception is lower regardless if any calls are being placed or received. If you have any push notifications enabled, those are being received. when not actively using the phone.
Have you changed anything such as screen brightness?
Are you accessing an Exchange account with your iPhone?
Any change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset which is similar to a computer restart?

IPad mini with retina very slow and battery drains fast

my ipad mini 2 is only ten months old. After getting the iOS 8 currently on ios8.0.2, wifi internet speed is only 25% of the normal speed (compared to what my imac tested), battery drains 1% every 3 minutes or so. All of these after I restored it to factory setting per Apple support suggestion. is there any fix for this soon? why is the issue only affecting some but not all users? Is there anything I can do for my ipad? I have only been using it lighty (have installed like less than ten app's) but this is still very frustrating.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

How to dramatically improve Iphone 4S Battery Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Sc091sDbU&feature=related

Multitasking on iPod Touch 4G, running iOS 6.1.2, nearly impossible. Opened, background apps do not seem to stay in memory and must "reload" every time I switch back to them. Also, intense battery drain (imo).

Let's say I'm playing Words with Friends, and also Angry Birds. I may want to go back and forth between the two. When I do so, the app that was in the background needs to reload again. There is no quick access or ability to quickly resume where I left off. And the reloading means that the app restarts from its opening screens...so if I was working on a level, I have to start all over again. And quite often, a game like Angry Birds will lag greatly when I first open it...moving almost in slow-motion.
I don't know if this is typical behavior when playing multiple games, or if I have an issue with my device. I've rebooted and even reset and restored, all to no avail.
There doesn't appear to be as much of an issue if I'm playing one game but also have the music player open, or Safari, Notes, Reminders, etc. Those will resume just fine, though there may be some lag when opening/re-opening them.
So I guess the problem seems to lie within 3rd party apps, and not the apps that are part of the iPod/iOS.
The other problem is battery drain. I do all of my music listening via Bluetooth, so I expect that to have a greater impact than if I were using plugged in headphones, and I have location services turned on. But I have most notifications turned off, all email accounts set to manual and not push, screen brightness turned down and auto brightness turned on, "ask to join networks" turned off, auto-lock is set to 2 minutes but I almost always turn off the screen immediately after setting up my music listening (since I do so at work), volume limit turned on, EQ turned off, sound check turned off,
With these settings, my battery can drain 20% or more within 10-15 minutes of game play. And these are not what I would consider memory intensive games--just Words and Angry Birds.
I've installed (and recently uninstalled) a couple of battery meters from the Apple Store as well--freebies. Carat, Battery Doctor, Battery HD, Battery Magic.
Carat and Battery Doctor seemed to offer the most pertinent and accurate information so the others were uninstalled long ago.
The Accelerate tab in Battery Doctor show the amount of memory in use, and the amount of available memory. The vast majority of the time, the memory in use is approximately 94%. I will occasionally choose to "accelerate" which supposedly frees up memory, but this "bump" lasts only a brief time and I'm not sure it's a great idea.
Even with absolutely nothing open or running, my used memory is generally still above 80%.
Carat, if anyone is familiar with it, shows a J-Score. My J-Score is 17, which means that my performance (according to Carat, anyway) is better than only 17% of the users who have Carat installed. In other words, 83% of people are getting better performance from their devices. It also has "battery hog" and "battery bug" sections. It doesn't detect any hogs or bugs.
I use my iPod Touch in rather limited ways. A typical day consists of approximately 5 hours of music listening via Bluetooth and 30 minutes to 1 hour of playing the aforementioned games. The occasional note and reminder, perhaps a brief check-in with the weather, and that's about it. And wifi is in use only when at home (there is no hotspot at work). Still, I need to charge it every day. I'd be keen to do more with the iPod if I could count on it to last more than a day.
I've read up on multiple forums and blogs for tips on prolonging a battery charge, and believe I've taken everything into account, and applied whatever I could. I've even reset the network settings and try to discharge the battery completely once a month (for supposed battery calibration).
I'm really hoping people can offer some suggestions or comments on whether this is typical behavior or if my battery is going, or even offer some additional tips.
With iOS 7 on the horizon, I'm hoping the upgrade will offer some resolutions (I've read there is better multitasking), but considering how weakly my device performs at this point, I'm not entirely convinced that an iOS upgrade will actually make any improvements.
Thanks a lot for reading.

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

Iphone 4S resets itself every few min - the battery drains in an hr.

My iphone 4S is resetting every few minutes as a result the battery drains in an hour.
By resetting I mean, the lock screen would show up, then the apple sign would come up like when you start your iphone, searches for the network etc. This happens every few minute even when the phone is on standby or when I am using it. If I am on the call, then the call gets disconnected because the phone is resetting.
The usage always shows "-" for both Usage and Standby with the message that the usage time will be shown after iphone is fully charged.
This started only a month ago when my phone was not on the latest os version. But now it is on the latest but the problem never did go away. It never fell out of my hand or fall into water and is barely a year old (just 10/15 days over the warranty period).
Please help!

And I should mention that I took the foll steps so far:
1. Let the battery drain out completely and charge it overnight
2. Backed the phone, then reset the phone and restored from backup.
3. Took it to the apple store and they did a different kind of restore but no luck
The only thing left for me to try to is to reset it to factory setting unless some one can suggest some other way.

Battery drain on iphone4s (runs out)

My battery on my iphone4s won't last more than 10 hours. I take it off charge at 7am and it will always die before 5pm.
I have never got it to last more than a full day. I only use it to text afew times a day. I have tried turning all apps, settings, brightness, location, wifi, bluetooth off but still will NEVER last a day. I've tried update and resotre but still have the same issues. Deleted apps, turning off icould stream, turning of calendars (sync) but still no joy.
My friend has an iphone4s and on the way home from work at 4pm my battery is on 7% and his is sometimes on 90%. I got the phone pretty much when it just came out.
Can anyone please identify the problem?
Thanks people, I am hopeful someone will help me.

I started to have this problem after upgrading from 8.0 to 8.0.2. I went to a local Apple Store and talked to those "Geniuses". They definitely knew this problem. They did some tests and then told me that the battery works great. They said the problem was due to some software issues, for example, some old apps. I was told to do a fresh install of iOS and reset all settings to the default factory settings. They also told me that iOS 8.1 would come out very soon and it would fix the issue. I left that store and then tried the solution. Of course, it did not work. I reset my phone, set it up as a new phone, and did not install any apps. I even turned on the Airplane mode. Still, the power drained from 100% to ~12% after one night's standby.
I also tried iOS 8.1. The newer version is even worse! First, it seems that the battery drains even faster. Second, the phone becomes pretty hot (50-60 Celsius) even with normal daily use like email, web-browsing, and calls. The worst part is on the side of the phone: I could not even hold it for very long time.
I had an on-line chat with Apple support. Again, they told me that the hardware has no problem. They also deny that iOS 8 is the cause of the problem. They just told me to do a fresh install again! BTW, I asked if they could help me to downgrade the iOS to 7.1.2. The answer is no. Once you have upgraded, Apple does allow you to go back. To sum up, Apple knows the problem. But they do not admit it and of course, will not fix it.

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck

Battery drain iphone4s

My iPhone4S is less than 1 year old and in the last couple of weeks, the phone battery cannot last 8hours of light usage without recharging. What's light usage:
2 phone calls (all less than 3 mins)
Couple of postings to Facebook app
I left home around 7A and at around 1:10P, my phone is dead.
Are you guys experiencing the same issues?

Well, I said it too fast.
The infinite loop regarding the transferring of the ContactList to the car is no longer there.
However, the battery drain issue is still there. I left the house with a fully charged phone and within 3 hours, it was down to 1/2 tank again.
Took it to Apple Store and met with Genius Bar. I set up an appointment online but still had to wait more than 30 mins after check-in.
Anyway Genius Bar ran hardware diagnostics and nothing was wrong. Bluetooth interface was tested using a keyboard and it seems to work fine.
So, he suggested wiping out the whole phone and start from scratch, like it is a new phone. He thinks it was software related.
We'll see if the battery drain issue goes away... also, while the phone was in my pocket, it was starting to burn my thigh because of the heat.
