Ipod touch 4 Battery life dying very quickly, not iOS5 problem

Basically my battery is showing 100% for a 20 second period when i change songs or try to play games it goes down by 5 to 10 percent every 35 seconds once it gets low enough it goes back up to maybe 50 % when i lock it and go back to the music menu it show 80 or 70%...
And when i want to charge the ipod it shows 6% and my ipod dies and doesn't start it recharges to 100% in about 30 minutes and so on, i know this isn't normal is there a fix for it, i tried playing music until it died but it still charged back to 100% in 30 minutes.. This is really starting to **** me off!
And i tried restoring it didn''t help!

Not percentage but i tried to guesstimate cause i see it go low and then higher then lower lower and then high keeps going up and down i used battery doctor pro..

  • Reinstall io5? battery is dying very quickly... 4% every 30 minutes

    Does anyone know how to reinstall io5 by downloading again from scratch?
    My battery is dying very quickly... I visited apple in San Antonio and they said that I needed to reinstall because of "springboard" restarting over and over...
    they said it was common problem with upgrade. 
    And they mentioned that I needed to goto:
    Settings
    General
    Reset
    Erase All Content & Settings
    My iphone4 keeps some settings and isn't quite doing what is should.  MY iPhone ISN'T JB and that isn't an option for me.
    Any advise... please text me at (361) 444-2409.
    Thank you Everyone !

    First, please don't put any of your contacts on this thread.
    If you want to reinstall iOS5 and start from Scratch then do this.
    1. Open your itunes.
    2. Connect your iphone to your computer
    3. Once connected, click on your iphone (located on the left window).
    4. Click Restore
    5. It will Restore
    6. Once complete, Set up as new phone.
    *As for number 6, if you set up as new phone, everything in your phone is lost and is pretty much like the way you got it out of the box.

  • My Ipod touch battery life depreciating, and it seems to coincide with my earphones no longer registering

    Hello,
    I have had a few iPod's over the last couple of years, and well I am starting to get bored of exchanging/purchasing a new one because of what seems like a reoccuring problem. My iPod's battery is dying... it no longer lasts a day even without use (I have taken off extra apps-I just have what came with my iPod on my phone, my bluetooth is disabled). This has happened to me before, I had reset my iPod. Reuploaded it from my back up as well as return it to manufaturers defaults and sync'd it as a brand new iPod and this has not helped. (Initially I thought maybe I had a corrupted file on there).
    I had taken my iPod into the Genius Bar, told me to do the manufaturers reset, even had an ipod exchanged. I was told that doing mini charges would 'teach' the battery that it was empty before it truly was. So I stopped using a car charger, I now use my iPod and let it die before I charge it once again, or at least have it below the 20% battery life before I will plug it in. And yet the problem still persists. I know I have time to take it in and have it looked over, but I'm tired of the same issue.
    This issue seems to come along with an issue with my earphones. I use the Skullcandy 50/50 ear buds that have been working on my iPod for months now. And yesterday I had been listening to my iPod in the car using the AUX port, have my iPod volume all the way up and my speakers down. Typically when I take out the AUX port cord and replace them with my earphones the iPod would change the volume level to what I was listening to last with earphones. But now it isn't doing that, and the controls for the pause, volume, skip/rewind no longer work.
    The Apple staff have been very kind to me, but as a customer I am getting tired of having to deal with this. I am just at my wits ends as this would be my 3rd iPod... so I think that it's me causing this but what could I possibly be doing to create this?

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused Apple will experience it with a refurbished one since it should be within the one-year warranty.

  • HT4623 why is my battery life dieing so quickly

    I recently updated my ipad2.   Since then, my battery life dies so quickly.    I can use it once, close it, then open it again and the battery life is down 40%.    I used to get two days of life before the update.   I closed out all the "Location" request, the auto updates to apps, everything I thought was draining the battery life.  Why?

  • IPod touch battery life

    My new Ipod touch battery will only last 4-5 hours when playing music and simple games??  I turned the wireless off and it still only lasted 4-5 hours.
    Any ideas would be appreciated
    thanks

    IF I'm correct, the complete drain followed by a complete charge will fix the problem.  If I'm incorrect, your battery needs replacement.  If your unit is still in warranty, there is no cost.  If out of warranty, the charge is US$79.  Your iPod, being new, is of course in warranty.
    Good luck!

  • My iPod touch battery is dying when fully turned off.

    I have had an iPod touch 5th generation for about 2 months and it's worked perfect until a couple days ago. The battery started dying even though I fully turned off my iPod. I fully turn off my iPod touch yet with a fully charged battery over night my iPod will be almost be dead when I turn it back on in the morning. Also when in sleep mode and no wifi being used my battery will still die within a 8 hour period of time but in these same circumstances a week ago my battery would only decrease about 10% max. What's wrong with my iPod? Can it be fixed? If not, how do I get a new new one replaced?

  • IPod Touch 5th gen - GPS Very Vague / Not Working Well at All

    I've been trying to use the NavFree GPS app on my new iPod touch 5th generation. 
    All I can say is that it sort-of works - in so much as it displays the vague vicinity I'm in within a few streets, however most of the time it just seems to be constantly hunting around for a location and is useless in the car for actual real-time directions - which seem to be randomly thrown out every now and then.
    I've tried locating it in numerous places on the windscreen and on the dashboard but it hasn't made any difference whatsoever.  Also when using it out in the open in walking mode, it will locate me for a moment then will wander off again and will start to show me standing in numerous different streets and places nearby.
    I'm very disappointed at the moment because I purchased the full version with all the extras thinking that I've solved my sat-nav needs, but it's unusable as it is.
    Can anyone help me with fixing this?
    Cheers.

    The iPod touch does not have a GPS radio. For location it relies upon the locations of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple database of routers and their locations. Thus, this app/the iPod alone without a real GPS accessory, works very poorly in a car since it really can't see may wifi routers and without a internet connection, can't access the Apple database to try to locate new routers that it finds.

  • 2nd Generation iPod Touch Battery Life

    I'm getting about 45 minutes of battery life when watching Youtube music videos on wifi. The battery recharges completely in about an hour via any usb port, or when using a Griffin remote charger. I had hoped for 4 or 5 hours of use. Is my battery life before recharge normal, or should I push Apple for a new battery before the warranty expires?

    Video takes a lot a battery because CPU working constantly and WIFI too. The only way to save a little battery life is turning down brightness as much as you can stand. Mine is set below 50% brightness and I get about the same playing some games or constant surfing the net maybe 2 hours. You won't ever see close to 4 to 5 hours unless they come up with a better battery. If you search you may find some early models claiming higher battery times. I cannot concur but I do know that many have claimed that the 3.0 update seem to hurt battery life. That could be the case, but mine from the start even with the older 2.? OS was never any better. I do agree with some that running the battery until it shuts down and then charging it is better then charging when it recommends at 20%. I have also noticed that the battery meter is not that accurate. I can get a 20% warning and a couple minutes later its back to 30% .

  • IPod Touch battery life after 2.1

    I'm having some problems after the update. A fully charged iPod will have lost its charge after a night at standby. While connected the iPod shows battery at full capacity even though iTunes gets the battery level right. The screen is also fully lit at all times while tethered, unless I manually turn it off.

    Just went through a complete Restore; plugged into iTunes, click the Restore, confirm and waited 10 minutes or so for it go through the process. Reinstated settings from backup - Apps, email, Notes, etc. Podcasts and Music Videos copied back also.
    Set to Autolock after 1 minute, screen now fades after 45 seconds, switches to sleep after 1 minute, so it looks like this did the trick.
    Will wait for the battery to charge and see how that's holding up now. Promising start though, the battery indicator went from red to green when it wasn't even connected to the Mac.
    Just need to copy back all the music that was on it now... Suppose it was due for a bit of a shuffle anyhow

  • How long does it take for an iPod touch battery to die without even using it?

    Asking because my itouch 4g has been stuck on a black screen and not able to turn off when pressing the power button. It's been 24 hours since it happened to the ipod. I've left it unattended on my table during that time period to which i have checked a couple of times to just see where and if the battery went down at all. At first the battery didn't seem like it went down at all since last night but recently it looked like it went down a bit from nearly being all the way charged to half/almost under half battery now. I was just wondering approximately how long it usually takes for it to die all the way down? I figured 24 hours but it doesn't seem like that since it didn't at in the time period since yesterday evening and night.

    My iPod is back to working now. It took about 2 and a half days for the brain to drain and die. Thanks for the answer and help.

  • My iPod touch battery is dying really fast?

    These past couple days my iPod battery has been dying fast! I don't have much on my ipod.. I have 299 songs, 3 internet apps (Youtube, FB, & iFunny), 5 Games (Temple Run, Solitaire, Jewelz, Angry Birds and fruit Ninja) Plus the required apps that I have to have on there. Oh, I also have 40 photos.. roughly.
    But anyway, even when I leave the iPod alone the battery runs down! Like, this morning I woke some up with my iPod dead when I went to bed the battery was half full. I restored it, I deleted some songs on my ipod, i deleted some apps, and I decreased my brightness. Why is my iPod dying fast?
    I got the ipod in October and never had battery problems before with any iPods that I have owned.

    When not using the iPod, turn airplane mode on. WHen sleeping the iPod can do things and if it tries and connects to wifi it can discharge overnight.

  • EOS rebel T2i battery is dying really quick. Is there a setting that uses the battery?

    I replaced my battery in my 2  year old rebel T2i because the battery started dying a lot sooner.  The new battery didn't last much longer. I have the "Auto Power Off" setting to 30 seconds.  Is there another setting that will keep the battery / camera on or is there some other problem?  OR, is there a way to reboot the system to factory defaults?  Thanks.

    I did a search at images.google.com for "canon t2i menu" and noticed that I can find versions with 2 yellow wrenches as well as 3 yellow wrenches.
    Here's a link to your camera's manual at the Canon site.  
    http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/9/0300004289/02/eosrt2i-eos550d-im3-c-en.pdf
    The instructions are on page 144 -- but it definitely shows that it's the 3rd wrench tab based on that manual.
    This many be related to firmware version.
    The last firmware for that camera is version 1.0.9.  You can find it here:  http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_re...
    Updating firmware is fairly easy but they DO want you to have a freshly charged battery (and you said your battery is dying "really quick" -- not sure how long that actually is.  It takes just a few minutes to apply new firmware but it would be bad if the camera died before the update completed.
