IPod Touch 5th gen suddenly has terrible battery life after updating to ios 8.0.2!

I updated to ios 8.0.2 around 2 weeks ago and bam! the next day I wake up and use my ipod (I usually leave it on during the night, and battery is still good) and it's down to 50%, then to 20% later! And now the battery is terrible! it goes down much faster than before! I have bluetooth and all the battery killer stuff off before, so my battery was really good...and now it's horrible!
Have you guys experienced this? Any solutions? Is this some bug?

Boost Your iOS 8 Device's Battery Life With This Simple Trick
% battery is not accurate on an iPod. The test is how long can you play a video on a full charge (charging fro at least 6 hours). The norm is 4-5 hours
Also update to 8.1.1

  • IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

    Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

    Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
    First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
    Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility  and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
    This will definitely fix the problem.

  • Iphone 5 battery life after updating to ios 7.1

    Has anyone else suffered rapid battery drain after updating to ios 7.1?

    For users with battery drain problems also look at this message from me in another topic. Maybe it also helps you to find a solution to the drain problems on your iPhone. I would also suggest to read the complete blog post by a former Apple Genius bar person.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen suddenly not compatible with volvo s60 through usb

  • Ipod touch 5th gen wont sync when battery is fully charged

    1. My ipod touch will sync just fine if it is currently charging (ie on its way to a full battery). 
    2. If however it gets fully charged and the sync is not complete it will stop the sync cold, eject the ipod, reconnect, and attempt the whole process again (ipod backup, check what needs to be synced, begin syncing). 
    3. It never gets all the way through the subsequent sync attempts as the battery charge complete indication on the ipod screen comes up periodically and we go back to step 2 every time.
    Any suggestions, questions, or concerns about my method or settings I could change would be greatly appreciated?

    Reboot coputer
    Try another USB port
    Try another cable

  • IPod touch 4th gen will not connect to anything after update. Please help.

    Ok, so I haven't updated my 4th gen ipod touch since I bought it, which was well over a year ago. Just recently, apps have started to force me to update to the newest iOS and many updates require it too, so I finally decided to update and get it over with. Well, I synced everything from my ipod and then updated. Well, to my horror after I came back I found out that even though I had CLEARLY synced my apps. They were gone on BOTH my ipod and my computer.
    Not to say I was really ticked off or anything, but I had almost 15 GB or so of just apps on my 32 GB itouch. I read somewhere that I can go back and reinstall all my apps but that would be a PAIN. Turns out there aren't many others ways to go about doing it so I was left with little choice. Well, once again, I ran into the problem that absolutely nothing would connect on my ipod touch.
    So, I have two problems actually:
    1. Is there anyway besides reinstalling apps for me to get back all the apps I had prior to updating my ipod? And in the future, how can I prevent itunes from deleting my apps when I clearly have them synced before updating?
    2. Why won't my ipod touch connect to anything wifi related? When I open the app store it just simply loads. And it will continue loading forever; I had it "loading" for about an hour until I decided to come here. Same goes with iCloud, facetime, Safari - just anything that has to do with connecting to my wifi.
    Things I've done: I've restarted my ipod once already, I've reset my router as well, and I've also tried to disconnect from my router then reconnect. None of them have worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.

    - If synced media like apps and music are not in the iTunes library on the computer one which you update they will not be on the iPod after the update since the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media..

  • Why does my iPod Touch 5th Gen not go back to sleep after a notification?

    No matter what notification it is, my iPod will stay with the screen lit for forever, just resting on the lock screen. I have to physically hit the sleep button to put it back into sleep. I have the auto-lock set for two minutes, and it's now beginning to not even auto lock after that. Anyone run into this? Thanks!

  • Brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64gb problems with first power on

    I have just received a brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64 gb from amazon. After reading the instructions i tried to power it on but nothing happened.
    It was suggested on here to try the recovery start but again, nothing happened.
    I then plugged the device in to a wall socket charger to see if the battery is flat,but the apple logo comes on for about 15 seconds then goes off again. If I hold down the home button while the apple logo is off, after a while the ipod goes into recovery start up, but as soon as i unplug it from the wall socket adaptor it turns off.
    It will not do anything plugged into the usb soccket of my laptop.
    Any ideas or will I have to return this to amazon?

  • How do you fix lines that come up on an iPod Touch (5th Gen) once it turns on after running out of battery?

    This has happened to me about 4 times now. I just got a brand new iPod touch (5th Gen) after replaceing my 4th gen iPod. I havent had it for a month, so its still brand new. The only thing is that when the iPod runs out of battery it turns off (duh) but it doesnt turn back on when you plug it in to charge. When I noticed that the iPod doesnt turn on, and I hit the power button, lines appear on my screen. They are lines that run up and down the screen from left to right. I try factory resets, setting resets, restoring my iPod. But this issue keeps coming up. I honestly dont know what to do. This thing is brand new and its acting up on me. Should I take it to my apple store? Should I just put up with it. I have tried everything and at this point I dont know what to do anymore. Please help!!

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Since you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem
    If the iPod is defective within warranty (you indicate it is) and not abused Apple will exchange it on the spot.

  • IPod Touch (5th Gen) Battery Won't Hold Charge

    After the last update my iPod Touch 5th Gen will not hold a charge. I haven't had any problems with it until this 8.1.1 update. Yesterday I charged the battery up to full charge and  used it briefly to listen to music in my car however here it is the next day and the battery is dead again. It is NOT playing while not in my car. Meaning nothing should be running the battery down because it's not being used.  I know it's not playing because the volume is set to half way so I'd undoubtedly hear it if it was playing.  It just won't hold a charge and for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?
