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 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.

  • 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

  • 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.
    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • How can i recover my lost ipod touch 4th generation even if the battery is dead?

    It has been almost a month now that ive lost my ipod touch 4th generation, ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find if, i dont have the serial number, and when i go into the locate my iphone on the apple store, it doesnt work because my batery is dead, and if noone ever finds it, he cant conect it to power suply and conect it to the internet...

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • IPod touch 4th Generation not charging.

    I have had my iPod touch 4th Generation for 3 weeks, after having to buy a new one because i was refused by anyone to have my old iPod 4th Generation fixed as its screen wouldn't work
    Anyway, last night my iPod was charging fine when i went to sleep, but after i went to sleep it had obviously stopped charging during the night as it had red battery
    I have tried charging it in the computer, docking station and a plug in the wall but neither of them work, i have even tried changing the USB cable and nothing will work
    Any ideas of how to fix this? I've seen many complaints on here about it but no one knows how its happened to their iPod because it just happens
    My iPod is now completely off because it wont charge and the battery is dead so i cant get onto my iPod to do anything
    Help please?

    See the not charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Also look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bend or corroded contacts, foreign material and crack or broken plastic.

  • When i plug my Ipod touch 4th generation in it goes to the apple screen and then it will turn off and then back on to a solid blue screen.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!
