Iphone4s - iMessage, Call & battery issues

I cannont receive text or picture messages via imesssage every once in a while, it never appears to be an issue when i receive from OTHER phones on other networks. I am able to send the messages though. and this issue is not consistent. it happens every now and then.
While i was testing this, i also noticed that when i send an iMessage the receiver is seeing my email Id instead of my phone number. I donno how frequent it is, but i noticed it once.
also, whenever someone calls me i get the call very late, i.e. just when the caller is about to reach my voicemail or disconnect. I have tested this by dialing my phone from a number of other phone including iPhone 4 & 4S from At&t
coming to the battery issues, i ALWAYS have my time zone off(i put my clock 10 min ahead), so i dont see the issue others are facing. But once in a a while i can see the battery dropping from 80% to dead within an hour or two without any usage. I got my iPhone 4s on day 1 and this happened about 4-5 times till now. Everytime i saw this happening, i would terminate all the background apps but that dosent stop the battery from draining.
I went to the apple store yesterday to have it diagnosed and they sent me away telling that I need to make an appointment.
Is anyone else facing the same issues?
Please share the solution if anyone was able to get around these issues.

Hi,
I had battery issues with my iphone5 ever since I updated to the latest IOS. My battery was draining really fast and my phone was really warm. What I did to solve this problem was: Go into Settings>Mail>Fetch New Data>Push,and make sure you switch push off. In that same section make sure that fetch is set as manually. This means that you have to check your emails when you want to - instead of the notifications going off every minute draining your battery.
I hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

Possible cure for battery issues

hi
first of all i dont own the device yet
i am user of 5530,5800,n8,c7,701
i was looking farword to bring in my hands the first nokia wp7 but due to features missing and (in my opinion) little overpriced at the moment(as sim free) i will wait for the next nokia wp7
but being for a while in nokia forums i deside to write this atricle with my opinion about the battery issue (IF IT IS) with the 800
after reading many users facing problem with battery in different revious and forums about my N9 last longer or my N8 etc i deside to do a test with my current in use 701(1300milliamber battery and the brightness screen that nokia offers right now)
i left all day the phone connected to 3g and gprs data with about 5 min calls couple of textsand little browsing fmobi,little use the default browser,little use apps which connects to internet ...all these for about 1,5 - 2 hrs
it did last about 12 hrs same as some users with the lumia
Now if you dont belive me TRY THE SAME TEST BY YOUR SELFS
what i have understand (as i dont own the device) is that perhaps by default or out of the box (and especially the branded phones from the providers) is that featurs like wifi or data, nokia account, market place bing etc must be ON
if was the same issue with my 701 it will not go too far of course
what nokia possible can do is to do a frimware update which in start up or rebooting the phone....dark them,wifi,data,bluetooth,internet connection should be off by default like in symbian
i am sure the upcoming new customers will not have future complains
but i belive this is important as some poeple dont have the knowlege to do all these to turn off manual, especially in a new UI that they are using first time (wp7) and of course having a new phone most of them especially the non experts can think the battery drains so easy if all are ON
******* or at least nokia should make it like symbian to turn off automatic after closing apps,face,twitter,email etc
thanks for your time reading
for me after my Xmas bonus(if any lol) i will go for a windows phone(sim unlocked)either if nokia or other brand
of course i can wait for the next nokia model not because of the battery issue but i prefer in windows phone 7 bigger screen
thanks again

I must agree with your thinking...
When I first got my C7, battery wasn't lasting a day...
And the reasons was the ones you said...
e-mail was keeping data on, WiFi was always looking for a connexion
I won't say that the Lumia 800 can't have any battery issues, but first of all, it's our use that kill off the bettery...
Setting e-mil to work only once per hour, setting WiFi off when not used...
Only those 2 option give a bette life to the battery...

A suggestion for those with battery issues:

When I first got my iPhone, I had the same battery issues many people here are talking about, in fact I posted about it myself. Its fixed. Very fixed, and Im very happy with my battery life. Here is what I did.
First, do not charge it using your USB connection. At least not always. Why? I dont know. I did the first few days, and couldnt get a full charge even tho system wasnt going to sleep. I started using the wall charger, and got longer battery life, but still not great. One night, I forwarded the phone to my home phone in case I got a call, and shut the phone down completely, and put it on charge. In the morning, I woke up to a 100% charged, fully glowing battery icon. The battery lasted all day with no issues. Every night after that, I just charged it on the wall charger, but did NOT shut it down to see what happened. I am still waking up every morning to a 100% fully charged battery. The battery life seems to get better daily now.
Today, I ran wifi for about 5 hours because I forgot to shut it off. This was after going to the pool and listening to the iPod on the phone for about 2 hours. And using the phone normally throughout the day, checking mail, sms, etc. Really a full day of work, and my battery is still over 50% full. I purposely didnt connect it to anything during the day for a recharge, not the USB or wall charger.
Good luck, hope this helps. Id be interested to know if it does.

Here's my non-scientific experiment.
After surprising battery drain for the first 10 days or so with not much usage, I completely drained the battery yesterday until the phone shut off.
I plugged into AC charge and was worried when it didn't seem to even begin charging.
I plugged into USB, assuming it needed to charge enough to at least complete a sync.
I left it on USB until about 5-10% charge, then switched it to AC. At about 50% I needed to use it, so I did but sparingly, and put it back on charge, all the while keeping Mail on manual and WiFi off.
I took it off once more to get it home from the office, then plugged into AC.
I left that charging overnight.
I never actually got the "glow", but did get the plug icon showing full charge in the status bar.
After about 2 1/2 hours this morning, the status has not moved off of 100% (but with little usage as before).
This is definitely an improvement already though. Hope this helps.

IPhone 4S update to iOS 5.1 singal and battery issues

Hi,
I was on 5.0.1 and had no issues at all loved the phone and my battery life. Eversince I updated to 5.1 my phone signal is awful, 2 bars when I had 5 before, constantly floating, calls drop for no reason. Yesterday nobody was able to reach me until I restarted my phone. Switched phone on in the morning yesterday and I get no service for around 30 minutes, after restarting 3 times it finally found network.
On o2 got my iphone from Apple unlocked.
As to battery life I can loose around 10-20 % in 2-3 hours not doing anything just in stand by, my battery issues were solved with 5.0.1 but started again with 5.1
What is apple doing? it is to say the least frustrating as ****. Fix one thing then break another, or break 2 while fixing them. It ****** me off.
I tried to restore my phone 7 times already set up as new and still no improvement.
One more interesting issue is when you go to your purchases in App store, and click dowload and app dissapears and then reappears on home screen few minutes later once it is done downloading.
Anyone else with this kind of a issue?

Honestly guys,
It is either apple is blinded by their immense success which will not last if they keep going the direction they going. They should have more time to test their products thouroughly before they put their production line on overdrive. Company this size ignoring issues like that.
I think new Ipad will have problems as well, it seems this line up 4S and new ipad is kind of transition point to a newer devices and were made just to get something out on the market. Using same CPUs same formfactor.
My problem is I payed a fortune for it and it doesnt perform, I dont pay 600 pounds for a phone because I want to have issues with it. What they are doing is plainly ignoring these problems. Battery issue been going on since the release of the phone, going to be a year soon.
Microsoft and Apple changing places, look like microsoft going the right direction now with Widnows 8 and mobiles where as apple comes up with something like Lion which I hated and now Mountain Lion which plainly is running out of ideas and starting to implement some features from iOS, these are completely different devices. They do not need to be the same, they werent created for the same purprose.
I was on apples side all along but they are blinded by their pride in leading this revolution that they choose to ignore these issues. Relying on peoples stupidity to show off things like ipad 3 is 4x faster than tegra 3 where as in real results it came out 15% faster.
Apple get his fixed before it is too late. Scared to buy your products now!!! Good thing I didnt get iPad looking at overheating issues it is having, and also not charging from cable while in use but draining battery. No thanks

MacBook Pro Battery Issue

Hello,
I am one of the many consumers suffering from the bloating battery issue found in the 17inch MacBook Pro. I have found tons of info on this and people are reporting even the second or third battery having the same issue. That being said, is the issue really with the battery or with the computer? I know they put out a software update that was supposed to fix the problem, does that point to a problem with the computer?
A few apple representive said the battery breaking out of the casing was a safety feature, is there any way harmful chemicals are released when the seal on the component is damaged leaving the battery exposed?

Well I would call back and tell them there are numerous instances where the battery replacement has been honored as part of the exchange/replacement program, especially since it is safety issue. Get a case number, next time you speak to someone. And if you don't get a satisfactory result, call back and escalate the call to customer relations. Until then turn off the computer and don't use it.

Another battery issue thread

hello heres my **bleep** battery story.
On 11/13/12 at 7pm I received my cyan lumia 920.The battery came with about 30% battery life and i played around with it for a little bit and put it on the charger. At 7am i removed the phone from the charger and went to work. between 7am to 12 pm
-I checked my email 3 times
-made 3 phone calls ranging from 3-8 minutes
-sent 3 texted messages
-checked twitter for maybe 5 minutes
-took 1 picture
-was on this forum reading some posts for about 10 minutes
and my battery dropped down to 52% from 100%
i called Nokia regarding this and i was on the phone with a rep and that phone call last 6 minutes and my battery went from 52% to 39%.By 1pm i had about 15% left. i called att about getting a replacentment and my battery dropped to 9% after 4 minutes.( if i return my phone to an att store i cant get a cyan. i have to mail it in and be without a phone for 2-3 weeks)
is this normal for thsi phone? did i just buy a phone with a sub par day time camera and a battery that wont last a few hours?
I have
-2 emails emails set to sync every hour
-battery saver on
-wifi off
-bluetooth off
-1 app running in the background (battery level app)
-tap to send off
-location on
-kids corner off
-brightness auto
-find my phone off
-feedback off
-high sensitivity off

Hi Joeynox and Sam87,
I too had battery issues with my new 920 when I received it, however after about two or three days and a couple of battery charge cycles, it stabilised and "broke itself in". I now get about 12 hours usage and still having 35% left after making 20 or so text messages, 2 two minute phone calls, ten minutes of Angry Birds, 15 minutes of browsing the internet, and listening to music on the phone all day, with the phone not being in flight mode.
If you are still having problems after a couple more days, i would suggest performing a hard reset, then if that doesn't work, to take your phone back to your point of purchase at AT&T. We have had numerous complaints and they seem to affect AT&T models of the 920, may have something to do with the AT&T applications installed on it causing conflict.
Also turn off your NFC through tap+send in the Settings, that may help....

Battery Issue with iPod Photo - Battery confusion?

is anyone aware of a problem called battery confusion?
my iPod which I am sure had a reasonable bit of battery life on it now appears to be demanding I connect to the mains power. A logo of a "plug and a scocket" indicating the need to connect to the mains is permanantly on my ipod screen.
I have done a soft reset on the device, got the Apple logo but when it repowers it will not get past this "plug and socket" image on the screen.
Normaly I charge my iPod with the usb cable on the PC however this does not seem to do anything and my iPod charger is at my parents house miles away.
Any help with this would be apreciated

The iOS 4 is probably the issue and there isn't much you can do about it.

Anyone having battery issues on iphone4 after using Garmin 2.0 for a while?

Hi mate. I'm afraid I haven't got a solution, but just wanted to say that I am having the exact same problem in my Lexus. I have an iPhone 5 which was paired and working perfectly while running iOS 6 and then iOS 6.0.1. But I was having all sorts of wifi problems (this is my second iPhone 5 as Apple replaced the first one but I've still got the same wifi issues!) so I had hoped 6.0.2 would fix these bugs. But - as you've found too - it's broken by Bluetooth connection to my car!
I too had tried the same things as you : deleting the profiles etc. but it just won't pair!
If anyone has a solution please help!!

Continued Battery Issues

So I posted about a month ago and for the past six weeks have been having battery issues with my Droid Charge. The battery issues began occurring approximately one week PRIOR to installing the new O/S update. Prior to the issue, I would regularly get 24 hours worth of battery life out of my phone. Now, with the same use (perhaps less because I'm so conscious of the battery) I get 10 hours of battery life if I am lucky.
When checking battery life, the 3 highest energy guzzlers are Android System, Cell Standby and Android OS. To try to rectify, the Verizon store has changed battery settings (which did not help) and done a hard reset back to the manufacturers' settings, neither of which has helped. Any ideas? I'd like to get this resolve sooner rather than later, as my manufacturer warranty expires in a few days, so if it is a hardware issue, I'd like to replace the phone on that rather than the Verizon insurance (though obviously my first choice is for the phone I have to work!).
Thanks!

All right, since I'm in the office today, I'm going to try this no mobile data for the day.
I already run the phone with background data off (learned that trick shortly after I bought it).
In terms of tech support, maybe I should be calling instead of going into the store. I've been in the store at least once every week for six weeks and always get someone that never takes my name or number, just goes in and plays with it for a short bit and is like "oh it's fixed!" and then when I'm back the next week I get the "it must be something in your settings" when I haven't changed a thing. At least now, having done a hard reset in the store, I can at least go in and tell them it's either their signal or a hardware issue because I'm back on factory settings (well except battery saving measures like turning background data off and turning syncs off).
Thanks JCO and Jerry...I'll post the good (or bad) news this evening, depending how the battery runs through the day!

IOS 6.1.1 3G & battery issues

IPhone 3GS Battery Issue

Hi there.
My iPhone 3GS is cutting out after 10-15 mins when making a phone call showing the battery logo red and then re-booting when the battery is full, when it re-boots the battery is fine. The iPhone currently has ios 5.1, is it to do with that or something else?
Many thanks, Lewis

Sounds like you could have a corrupt app that isn't properly shut down after you hit the home button...
A couple things to try...
Hard reset - Hold sleep/wake and home down at same time until you see the white Apple symbol...then release both and allow for reboot.
Restore - in order to fix OS bugs...you need to choose the "set up as new iPhone" option when prompted... so since this starts clean, ensure that all contacts, calendar events, email account, notes, photos etc are backed up either in iTunes or in their background programs like Mail or iPhoto etc... Then once you have selected to restore and it wipes the phone, choosing the "set up as new iPhone" will get rid of the OS bug that could be causing the battery issue...
Of course try the cycle that I mention above first... along with the hard reset it may resolve and not require the full restore....

IOS 6 battery issue with iphone 4s

My Battery is getting low in drastically

Good to see others have the same problem... I started with 65% this mornig at 7 am - now, after some whatsapp and aprox. 5(!) minutes of gaiming I'm down to 36% at 10 am... what's going on?
Under iOS 5 I could use it more than a day including calls, whtasapp, safari, etc etc
I already used some tips&tricks, reseted the phone - nothing helped.
Have the 4S
I'm really a fan of Apple Products - but this aongoing battery issues with my iPhone are daisappointing me more and more... I do not want to turn of all the services that make the iPhone what it is - otherwise I could use my 6 year old HTC or something....

Battery issue with iphone 4

Hello. I have an iphone 4 a long time with no problem at all. I used ios 4.3.3 , with a lot of calls, mesagges, wifi and browsing and the battery was great. It could last about 3 to 4 days. Then I decided to update to ios 5 , and the battery issues started. I had to have everything switch off in order to last 1.5 day the battery, which is unacceptable because I bought this phone not just to see how beautiful it is, but also to use all its capabilities. I send it to service in order to check the battery and the answer was , the battery is ok and according to apple's specs. I can't charge every day my phone, if I want to use locations or wifi.
So I am asking you, is it possible to downgrade to ios 4.3.3 firmware ?
I liked the battery the way it was...

Ok, is there an email in order to address apple my problem with the battery and request a new one?
As I am living in the EU I cannot arrange and online support. The responsible one's for iphone support are the carriers and I don't trust them.I am still under warranty and I have already send my iphone for repair once but they did nothing. I am sending it a second time and I would like to speak with someone that can give me answers and give me a replace. I don't mind paying for it, but I wan to be fixed.

Since the latest software update, 6.1.2 my iphone4S is using battery much more rapidly. Is this happening to anyone else?

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

New Macbook Pro 2011 MAJOR battery issues

I just bought a refurbished Macbook Pro, it was built on a couple of months ago so it is pretty much brand new.
17 inch.
I'm having some battery issues. Yesterday I noticed that my charger (l-shaped) wouldn't light up -
it also wouldn't charge. After some fiddling around the light came on but in my menubar it read - "Not Charging".
Eventually I reset my smc or whatever it's called and now it is charging -
but now,
1) it won't charge to 100.
2) at 97 percent it shows 7 hours 26 minutes left and then BAM!
it goes right down to about 3 and a half hours. And I'm not running anything but the internet.
What the heck?!?!?!

You said " it is a problem with ALL current macbook pros. I did take it to an Apple store and the "Genius" confirmed this.".
It seems to me that the problem then should have been rectified at the Apple store and yout post is unnecessary. If the matter has not been resolved I suggest that you go back to the Genius Bar and have them fix it. No one here can do so.
Please understand that we are here by our own volition, we are volunteers, we don't get paid, and I would say that we make our best effort to help others based on our respective knowledge bases. Points are welcome but I suspect thank you's are more so.
Ciao.
