IPhone5 shuts down at 20%-30% battery since new IOS7 was installed

Ever since I installed the new IOS 7 operating system the day it premiered, not only do I have battery issues in which it drains quickly (seems to be a common occurrence) but now if I am using the phone (app, imsg, etc) when it gets down to about 30%, sometimes 23% the phone completely shuts off as if it was at 0% battery life (I say that exact number because it's been at exactly 23% on a few occasions where the phone shut off). The icon pops up that looks like a drained battery with an indication to plug it in, and when I plug it in the phone turns itself on immediately and then works fine. I was told to reset it, hard reset it etc, all of which I tried and to no avail. I have spoken with someone from Apple and they are telling me I need a new battery. The phone is just over a year old (so of course, they won't cover the battery replacement even though the issue started about two weeks ago and it's now two weeks past it's 1 year warranty), and I highly doubt it's a coincidence that the battery is suddenly acting up after the new operating system update. Is anyone having this same issue? Helpful comments would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

Migration from PC with MA did not end. Had to shut down MacBookPro. After restart no new user was created. Can't find the transferred data (35 GB). Would like to delete it.

iTunes is required to initially activate the phone. Back when the iPhone 3G was sold, you would take it out of the box and see a "Connect to iTunes" screen. She HAD to connect to a computer in order to begin using the phone. Does she remember what computer this was?

IPod shuts down due to "low battery" even when fully recharged

OK..
I got big problems with my iPod battery.
I've already sent my iPod to Apple once, but they returned it saying nothing is wrong and giving "helpful" tips about turning the backlight off in order to make the battery last longer..
Well, I sorta disagree about there not being any problem. And I did feel a bit insulted about the claim that my iPod is not malfunctioning as well as the hints about me being a retard who needs to be told that using the backlight continuously might have an affect on battery life.
(but in case my retardedness is to blame for all my problems with my iPod, please let me know. )
During he last 2 months or so, the iPod keeps shutting down due to "low battery" even though it's been connected to the USB port for, like, 20 hours straight.
Tried different ports and computers without any luck.
The recharging-icon is usually moving while connected to the computer, but I don't get the "battery is fully loaded" message (or icon?) anymore.
Sometimes when the iPod has shut itself down due to low battery, it can still be used for ~10 hours by turning it on/resetting multiple times. When that happens, the battery icon is at first "empty", but then bar suddenly goes to half full.
I also suspect that resetting it 7 times before plugging it into a USB-port helps. Occasionally.
No way to tell if there's 15 hours or 15 seconds life left in he battery. I just got got home from a 2 x 8,5 hour flight and the iPod shut down right after the first take-off So.. yeah.. I'm ****** off atm.:/
I've tried all the tricks I've found on the net (resetting, software updates etc.) but nothing helps.
Don't know if it could have any relevance, but it seems like the problem appears more often when playing audio books - long mp3 files, that is...
Help, anyone? Pretty please?
PC Windows XP

I have the exact same problem. About 2 weeks before the end of my 1-year warranty, I contacted Apple about the problem. They sent a box with prepaid shipping (I paid for it) and I sent the iPOD back to Apple. Today, I checked the status of my repair and the screen reads:
Step 1 - Request
Product received (05-Apr-2006)
Step 2 - Service
No trouble found (11-Apr-2006)
Step 3 - Return
Original product shipped (11-Apr-2006)
I contacted Apple Customer Service and was told that they ran diagnostics and nothing was wrong with the unit. I asked them if it mattered that I noticed problems with the iPOD that they don't seem to see and they said no. They said the problem could be with my charger, but I told them that I recently lost my charger and had used several different chargers that work with other peoples iPODs just fine. I even left it to charge overnight and the next day I could barely play one song. The woman I spoke with told me that if I had any problems with the iPOD after it was returned to me, I would have to send it back (they would not provide the box) and pay $225 since it is no longer in warranty .
My problem is that the unit was in warranty when I sent it, they didn't fix it (they couldn't find this very obvious problem), and now it isn't in warranty. The only way I can listen to music is to plug it into an A/C outlet while it is playing. My other option is to buy another mp3 player.
Has anyone else had this problem? Have you found a solution? Thanks!

Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 %

Hi hello
Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 % ?
Thanks for your reply

You can create a mailing list by using the "Groups" feature of Address Book. Simply select "New Group" from the File menu. Name the group, and drag the contacts you need into the group.
In Mail, open up Preferences (under the Mail menu), and click on "Composing". Then make sure that "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unchecked.
The auto reply is a feature that is better done on your mail server, as you Mac can only send an auto reply when it is on, with the Mail application open. If you use dot Mac, you can set up a vacation responder through the web, and you can leave your computer switched off.
If you really want to leave your Mac on when you are on holiday, you can set up a mail rule (Preferences, Rules).

IPhone 5 shuts down as soon as battery goes below 20%

I have had my iPhone 5 for about a year, still have until Jan 2015 on Verizon contract. I am running iOS 7.0.4. My battery drains relatively quickly, but usually lasts about 8-9 hours for me on a full charge. However, the phone just shuts down and shows the battery being dead as soon as I go below 20% on my battery level. When this happens varies a little bit, it has been as high as 25% and as low as 14%, but it usually right around 19 or 20. I will try to turn it back on, and it will show the "phone battery dead" icon.
It has been doing this for about 10 days now. I keep trying to do different things to conserve battery life with the hope that this problem will go away, but it hasn't. I keep my phone in a thick case and have never dropped, submerged or otherwise damaged it.
Any advice for what I should do? Thank you for the help.

My iPad acting so weird tonight. When it shut down automatically because the battery has been drained. When I opened it, it creates some weird sounds like *swoosh* blahblah. It does make me feel nervous. Can someone help me? Does it already broken? :(

MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery

Today my MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery. It started at about 50%. I seems to happen if I don't a thing for a short while when I read something or so. I most of the time when using mu MBP have it on the net cord but today I wanted to work the battery.
Does anyone know what it could be? I have searched in the forum but the answers hasn't been satisfying. I find it weird that I have to use the keyboard or the track pad to keep going.

Not sure what the cause is but you can try resetting the SMC.

MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) shuts down while running on battery

Hi,
Five months ago, my MacBook Pro 15'' (2.53Ghz) started showing me the message 'Service Battery'. I took it to an Apple Store and I was told that everything is still fine. Nevertheless, for the past 2 months my laptop shuts down while running on battery (with 20% and 40% levels of charge) periodically. This does not happen every time.
Does anyone know if AppleCare covers this failure?
Is there any other way to fix this?
Thank you,
George

Mine does the same thing. May i suggest downloading istat pro to look at the health of your battery.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
Also do you calibrate your battery?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
I had never done that but after 15 months and 450+ cycles I was experiencing the same problem. I am a heavy user of my mbp 15" (2.4Ghz). After calibrating my health in istat which was going between 30-53 % Is holding steady around 65-mid 70% health wise. I have also noticed that my battery icon has gone from service battery to replace now to holding at replace soon for the time being.
I am not sure how many cycles you can get out of one battery but as far as i know 700ish is good. While i wish i was closer to an apple store (3ish hrs or more) i do hope i have helped you.

IPhone 5 shuts down with over 30% battery remaining

My iphone 5 is shutting down with over 30% battery remaining. It used not to shut down with still around 2% remaining but its increasing with every day now. For the last 5 days or so it is shutting down when showing even 30% remaining. When plugged in again, the battery is all drained down. Please someone give some valuable advice.
thanks

Sounds like a definite hardware problem. You should still be in warranty, so head over to an Apple Genius Bar and they will either repair or replace it. A replacement will be much more likely, and it's free (if in warranty).
Good luck!

HT201401 My iphone 5 always shuts down between 20-10% battery life...It drives me crazy

My Iphone 5 always shuts down between 10-20% battery life...

In response to the other posts, I have not had any issue with the battery until the update to IOS7 and I have been using the phone for over a year. I am not suprised that the store would say the battery was bad, the phone thinks it is and shuts down. I do not know what plugging it in does for the phone, but after I plugged it in for just a few minutes it lasted for several hours. it was not that the battery was dead, but how the camera works with the system on IOS7. I do not know if taking a picture and saving it while using the flash cause a large draw etc, but whatever it is the system then thinks the battery is dead when it isnt. The hard part is once you apply power it will go away and there is no way to verify the issue. Even if it is weaker battery it should not just shut off with 20% power and then not work until power is applied. The battery is not dead as it has worked for several hours afterward. I have not used the camera in those cases for fear of losing my phone until I could get to a power cord. I am not aware of it happening twice in a row, but I will test it next time I am near a power cord after it dies. I would also concur, that this is a quick failure for the battery also as the phone is just over a year old.

How come my iphone5 shuts down my macbook??

How come my iphone5 shuts down my macbook when the iphone is unplugged from the computer?!?! It just happened again and now my macbook won't turn on and the power cord is blinking oddly!

Hold the computer's on/off button for a long time (10 to 15 seconds) to see if that starts your computer.
I suggest from now on when you connect your iPhone, pay attention to the eject button in iTunes.

Since the IOS7 is installed i cant delete apps. 1/I hold the app till it wiggles but the cross does not appear; 2/ i could not delete it through i-tunes; 3/ i tried resetting the ipad-settings/general/reset/all then i get a restrictions password request?

Since the IOS7 is installed i cant delete apps. I tried the following with no result:
1/I hold the app till it wiggles but the cross does not appear;
2/ i could not delete it through i-tunes;
3/ i tried resetting the ipad through "settings/general/reset/all" then i get a restrictions password request whih i have no clue what it is (its not my unlock code)?
Is this a bug related to IOS 7 - I just installed the latest update also with no effect.
(I'm new to apple so any simple to understand advice is appreciated as my kids have added so many apps i can't add my music)

It appears that you have restrictions turned on in settings that prohibit app deletion. Is your iPad a personal possession or does it below to the company you work for?
