Ipod battery dies fast

My ipod touch dies very fast. Anyone got any fixes?

Hey Tgradd, what do you mean by dies very fast? It's very subjective, do you have usage rates or times to work with? After a full 4 hour charge here are some times you can use to comparing with, to help you decide if you have a issue. It what my iPod 5 using iOS 7.1.1 averages-- I do use some of the power saving tips given by Apple and Cnet. Standby 36 to 40 hours, watching video, browsing the net, using Wi-Fi, 4 to 7 hours-- depending on video time, if viewing in HD and Wi-Fi signal strength. Gaming 3 to 4 hours. Taking photos / video about 40 to 60 pictures depending on light and flash use / about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for taking video.
If your getting something less, have tried a different cable and/or a different charging device? You may have a short and are not fully charging. Have you tried resetting? Press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds+/-, then release both buttons. If still no joy, go into Settings> General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your iPod and make backups of your stuff from the iPod to your computer, then Restore from Backup. Last resort Restore to New. If battery issue continues contact Apple, set up an appointment and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issues. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

I would suggest getting it serviced. It sounds like you have a hardware problem with all those combination of issues.

And I just use safari and facebook and 25 percent gone in 1 hour What is wrong with my ipod touch and how do i fix this? I bought my ipod from amazon so idk what to do since i have a battery issue. Is this related to ios 5.0.1 or is it my battery? Which is most likely? My iPod Touch dies in like 4 hours light usage...

IPod Battery Dies if i don't put Hold on

IS this something wrong? Everytime i forget to put the hold on when i'm not using it the battery dies. My friend has the same exact type of iPod i have and doesn't have to do this. Is something wrong with my battery and i need to replace my iPod?

The first thing to do is to reset the ipod, then restore the ipod if reset did not work. This would determine if the issue was a software or hardware issue.

If the restore does not work then it is a hardware issue and the ipod needs to be serviced. You can go to the following link to set the ipod up for service.

Will Apple replace my phone if my battery dies fast?

My warranty is still intact and I was just wondering if Apple will replace my phone if I tell them my battery dies quickly

I do not think so. They will show you how to close apps but a refund....refubished if you think this phone is worth it.

Battery dies fast with skype

My battery dies quickly when I use skype (I'm assuming from the processing power used up).
It only lasts an hour. Any tricks to make it last longer?

Turn off unnecessary items like Blue tooth, close other applications, use ethernet connection instead of wi-fi and don't forget to calibrate your battery every 2-3 months.

What happens with video ipod battery dies?

I read that the battery in the video ipod is stuck to some parts inside the video ipod so when it dies there is no way to replace it. Does Apple offer any exchange program or battery replacement for video ipod batteries and how much are they?

Don't know where you read that, but the battery is replaceable in the iPod 5th gen (video) just like any other model.
This can be done by Apple or 3rd party battery replacement sites.
If an iPod is under warranty, then the battery replacement is free (except after the first 6 months of the warranty has expired there is a shipping fee).
If an iPod is out of warranty, Apple charges $59 + $6.95 shipping.
As I said earlier, there are 3rd party alternatives that are usually cheaper.
If you have the iPod video model, then it's under warranty, so if you're having battery problems, fill out a service request.

Maybe you should start your own thread.

IPod battery dies WHILE it is plugged into USB (highspeed 2.0) port

Hello thank you for your interest in my question, I apologize for the length but it's a very frustrating problem.
I am translating this question for my sister:
My 4th generation iPod was given to me as a gift this past December (2005) I believe it was purchased in September because that is when the warranty expires. The iPod worked fine for the previous owner using it with a Windows machine. Not knowing whether or not it will work with my iBook with or without formatting, I plugged it in and found that it came right up and I was able to put my music library on it.
I used it normally for the first time until the battery became low, so I plugged it into my USB port to charge. After a few hours I came back to find my battery completely drained and the iPod unresponsive/dead. I switched USB ports and let it sit for a couple of hours, nothing. I switched USB cables using one from another brand new/working iPod, nothing. I tried a different computer, one with a high-speed USB 2.0 port again leaving it plugged in for at least 4 hours, nothing.
Obviously something was wrong, so I filed a report and Apple sent a DHL box to mail it back. An iPod came back, unfortunately I'm not sure if it's the same one (I didn't follow the repair status or keep track of the serial numbers) it was restored to it's factory defaults and turned on right away.
SO round #2, I plugged it directly into my iBook and started to import songs onto it--this time I was there when it happened. It beeped at me and said something on the screen about the battery not having a sufficient charge and it went from the "do not un-plug/charging" screen to a big battery with a lightning bolt next to it. My iBook gave me a notice that the iPod was improperly disconnected. 30 minutes later the iPod had a blank screen (while still plugged in) and I went through the same troubleshooting I did before (switching cables/computers).
I sent it back to Apple and this time I followed the repair status. To my surprise, they found nothing wrong with it and sent the exact same iPod back. When I got it back the iPod did indeed turn on so I plugged it into the back of my brand new iMac Intel Core Duo, imported songs and tried to see if they would play. They did, but the battery was almost dead so I plugged it back in and left it charge for over 3 hours. I unplugged it and checked the stats.. it was nearly dead still, so I plugged it in again and very quickly (10 minutes) the icon changed from "charging" to full. I unplugged it to check the charge... and it was still nearly dead. Extremely frustrated at this point, I gave it to my friend with an older iMac (but with the latest iPod software installed) after plugging it in and leaving it alone for maybe an hour it beeped, when to the black and white battery and finally went blank/dead for the third time.
I'm desperate, right now it is plugged into a Windows PC to see if that will work and considering the iPod is still cold to the touch and wont respond.. it doesn't look good. Can anyone, after reading all of this, suggest anything? I'm probably going to be making an appointment at a genius bar but before I do, I'd like to see if anyone here might have some suggestions.
Please keep in mind, that the iPod is completely dead and will not charge or be recognized by any computer I plug it into. So I can't really restore or do many other basic troubleshooting. I have no idea how it turned on after sending it in for support.. but if anyone notices something I'm doing wrong, that might help.
Thank you.
iPod 4th Gen 20GB
Computers I've tried to revive it with:

Have you tried connecting the iPod to different USB ports and/or another computer?
You can also take a look at this website, which may help figure out what's wrong with your iPod.

Finally, if your iPod is less than a year old, you can send it to Apple for replacement.

Battery dies faster when 'off' than when playing music or on standby.

Seriously. If I leave it on pause I can let the screen go dark for days, maybe 40 hours.
If I play music, its good for like 28hours straight.
If I slide the thingy to power down, its dead in like 16 hours.
Doesn't seem like its a battery issue but I am new to iPod.
PS. iPod Touch 16GB - bought it second hand.

PPS. I have it in airplane mode so location and wifi are off.

Ipod battery dies as soon as i turn a movie on for only 2 minutes.

I dont want to restore my Ipod cause I'm affraid all my minecraft worlds would be deleted amd plus I dont have a computer where I can back up it. Help!!!!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT1476 iPhone dies faster since iOS 6 software update

i currently have two problems. 1. my iphone will only charge while its turned off. 2. my battery dies faster then it used to be after the previous problem happened on October 1st. 3. my speaker/ringer on my phone has stopped working, my sounds will only work while my headphones are plugged in. no sound will come out anywhere. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.
