IPod touch 4th Generation Battery Life Is Too Short!

Ok whats going on is that after 10 to ll hours the battery is at 20%. I dont even use my iPod that MUCH thats right not that often. Only time I use it is to sometimes play a game for like 10 to 20 minutes at most. Maybe watch a video or two maybe three and listen to music. But I've notice that I dont use it much but the battery drains quickly and I just got it in late August (2012). I even set the brightnest to the lowest to give me maxium battery life nope that doesnt help too much just gives me an extra hour at most. Another thing I turn off my notifications so the screen doesnt keep turning on and off. I do the double tap home button to close the apps that resume after I left the app. All sounds are silent what else could I possibly do to save battery life turn it off completely. I'm charging this thing every night for crying out LOUD!!!

That's not a problem. Apple will fulfill the warranty no matter where it was purchased. Enter your serial number here to check if you are still covered: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

IPod touch 4th generation battery

Hello,
I own an iPod touch 4th generation. It seems like my battery goes down very fast. I last charged today at 3:00 PM, which was half an hour ago. It already went down 25% when all I did was play a game like 5 times (Ice cream Jump). Is this normal?
I would appreciate if it was a good answer, not just like "look at this". I already read the Apples battery for iPod touch page ( help page and tells you to lower your brightness, etc...). It does not help.
Thanks!

See the suggestionas included in the following for extending battery life. I place my iPod in airplane mode overnight. That helps a lot since when asleep the iPod is still try to connect to the internet for notifications and other things.

How much will it cost to have Apple replace my iPod Touch 4th Generation battery?

My iPod Touch 4th Generation dies very quickly. I can have it on the charger for hours and if i take it off the battery will drain very quickly. So I was wondering if i can take it into Apple Store and have them change the battery and how much it will cost for them to do that?

Ipod Touch 3rd generation battery life

I couldn't find an answer to support this question, so I'm putting up a new post. I recently got the new ipod touch 3rd generation (32gb) a few weeks ago. I got the customization so it shipped directly from China. I seem to be having a problem with horrendous battery life and I don't know if it is a bad one or not. I have the BT always turned off and wi-fi most of the time, but I find that my battery drains from fully charged very quickly, especially if I access wifi. My ipod can drop 50% battery life in 20-30 minutes just "surfing" for apps or accessing a safari link from, for example, the kindle app or nytimes app. I am aware that some apps use more power than others, but I'm finding this life thing horrendous. I have the screen set pretty dim, only use the email function "on access" (no 'push' enabled), no auto-sync for nytimes, etc. I don't know what to do as this was as customized engraving iPod and I feel like everyone I know has fine battery life. Any help much appreciated. We have an Apple Store here in town but can they check it out for me? It has the 3.1.2 version software. Thanks!

IPod Touch 4th Generation BATTERY / CONNECTIVITY. Help?

Hi, two weeks ago I got a 4th Generation, 32gb iPod Touch. I charged the battery for an entire day before I used the iPod and all was well for about three days. Now my iPod is connected to the computer and will not turn on. My iPod will not work unless plugged into the wall charger and even then it says the battery is 100%, however, as soon as I unplug the iPod it turns off. I don't want to lose all the things I bought from iTunes or my apps. So, what should I do? It won't turn on at all.

Try a hard reset and go from there.

Why does my ipod touch 4th gen battery life drain so quick

I've had my iPod touch for a few years now, but recently The battery life drains very fast, even if I go on one app it goes down half way after charging it full, I don't know why? My iPod will last me 30-1hour, is there a way of fixing this? :-)

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 that indicates a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery.

Can I go to an Apple store to replace the battery of my iPod touch 4th Generation without a proof-purchase or if I brought it somewhere else?

I have an iPod touch 4th Generation that needs battery replacement after 2 years of use. Can I go to an Apple Store in my area to get my battery replaced? I brought the iPod in another store. Do I need a proof-of-purchase or it is too late due to the way past of Apple's warranty or I can't due to not officially not purchasing the iPod touch at the Apple Store? I welcome your feedback. Thank you!

Apple will replace your iPod with a refurbished one for $79 (USA) or you could do a Google search on "replace iPod battery" for a local or on line repair place that will replace the battery for less. You can even find a replacement battery (same search) and replace it yourself if you're up to it.

Can I enable battery percentage on my iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 5.1.1 without being jailbroken?

Can I enable Battery percentage on my iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 5.1.1 without beig jailbroken?

You can enable battery % on ipod touch 4g without jailbreaking it you can use backup bot for itunes. Thats how i enabled it on mine. Step 1: goto http://www.icopybot.com/ibackupbot_setup.exe download and install it if you have windows. Step 2: Next create a backup of your device in iTunes and then CLOSE iTunes (or else you may run into problems later on) do not lock the backup with a password. Step 3: Open iBackupBot. Click the backup you just made Next click "Path" to sort by Path. Step 4: Look for Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist and double click it. On the registration screen that comes up, hit cancel. Step 5: Find <dict> and create a new line after it. Then add this:
<key>SBShowBatteryLevel</key>
<true/>
Step 6: Hit CTRL + S or just the save button at the top left corner of that editor window. Now close the window.
Step 7: Right click that same backup you just edited
Step 8: click restore
Step 9: Done! If you don't see the changes, reboot your iPod.
Enjoy I hope you found this useful!

My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins,needs new internal battery but I have no idea how to go about this. i love my ipod and don't want it to loose power completely, can anyone help?

My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins from full power, think it needs a new internal battery but have no idea how to go about this and am no longer covered by my guarantee. Can anyone advise me on what's best? Thanks in advance

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use an Apple wall-mount charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPod Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

I am aware that apple does not replace the battery for my ipod touch 4th generation, but I wanted to know if i purchase a replacement battery, can they recommend someone to replace the battery for me?

I have a ipod touch 4th generation, 32gb, purchased at least 3 years ago. It will not hold a charge, so I would like to purchase a replacement battery. Can the apple store recommend someone to install the battery for me once I purchase it from them?

Apple does not repl;ace the battery in your iPod. They exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery.

HT1322 what should i do about my ipod touch 4th generation's battery?

My ipod touch 4th generation lasts about 10 minutes i have had it for about two years now and it has obviously run out of warranty so should i replace the battery or is there any way to fix this

The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements and battery changes can be found here.
However, it's worth trying a few things yourself just in case it's not a battery problem. First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

How to fix Battery Drain on iPod Touch 4th generation

Hello,
I own an iPod Touch 4th generation, I have had it since August of 2012. It seems like I need to charge it everyday. I get around 12 hours of Standby and only 4 hours of Use. Is there anyway I can get my iPod to last 2 or 3 days? It used to last longer before I updated it to IOS 6.1.3.
Thanks so much,
xMorra2000x

Ipod touch 4th generation became too slow after ios 6. How can I rollback to iOS 5 or what else can be done. I already did master reset and restored to factory default but no improvement.
