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

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!

IPOD Touch battery life is too short. Can I replace the battery?

My son's IPOD Touch has a battery life of about 30 minutes. It is a refurbished model and wondered if there was a way to upgrade the battery?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement caost about $10

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.

or send it in to Apple. See:

Zen Touch battery life after 1 year -

There are periodic questions on this forum from people concerned about the battery life of non-user-replaceable batteries on players such as the Touch and the Sleek. I have had my Touch for a year, and decided to conduct a test to see how much the battery life had decreased. I did 2 tests, one using WMA 64kbs and the other using MP3 CBR 28kbs.
Here are my results:
WMA 64: 25.5 hrs
MP3 28: 25 hrs.
Essentially, there has been no reduction from the rated battery life of 24 hrs. I didn't do a similar test when I first bought my Touch, so I don't know if the original battery life was even more than this, but this is impressi've either way.

For sure, and with all the players I think that use Lithium Ion batteries

That's great to here. BatteryUni'versity.com quotes about a 20% drop in life over the first year, although I guess it varies with usage. Thanks for posting this useful data!

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% .

My new ipod touch battery the life is to short :(

Hi guys.
I have an ipod touch 4th and I got it last month...and my ipod touch batter life is so short.

Check this help article http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html , you will find suggestions to improve your battery life.

Is that normal? My iPod touch G5 standby after fully charge 2 hr 58 min. then level battery is 68.5%. (use voice over to read battery level)

I do not understand what "My iPod touch G5 standby after fully charge 2 hr 58 min." means.
Also % battery is not accurate for an iPod. It fluctuates.

My ipod touch has a short amount of battery life of around two hours, but i installed an app that tells you how much battery life left, it said 4 hours, how come? is my ipod touch battery faulty?

my ipod touch 8gb, ios 4.3.2 has a short amount of battery life of around 2 hours, but i installed an app that tells you the battery life remaining, it said 4 hours, how come? is my ipod touch battery faulty

Some useful info would be:
What generation is it?
How old is it?
If it's older than the 3rd generation, then the battery may have run its course (or iOS 4.3 is taking a toll on the battery).
If not, then you might have some issues leaving the wi-fi on and fetching data as well as running apps in the background that abuse location services and notification. Make sure those are off, or only running when necessary. If you see a small arrow in the top right corner (that isn't the music "Play" arrow), then you are currently running a location based service that can drain battery.
Also check your brightness settings, these can really pull battery life.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Has anybody else had an iPod touch battery go into "deep discharge"? The only way to get it out of "deep discharge" is to connect to a Mac computer to charge it. Mine was only 6 months old when it happened, and cost $80 AUS to recharge. Rubbish batteries!

Has anybody else had an iPod touch battery go into "deep Discharge"? Mine did after 6 months use, Mains charger did not work, computer charger did not work, so took it for repair under warranty. I was then told about "deep discharge" , and it has to be connected to a Mac computer to recharge again. This cost me $80 AUS. It does not say much for iPod batteries, especially if you don't have a Mac to charge it if it happens again. In fact it sounds like a fundamental flaw in the product......

There are other repair companies for the touch/iPhone. Google them, you might find a lower price.

A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

1st generation ipod touch battery

My first generation iPod Touch battery has had it and is barely holding a charge. Does anyone have any experience with the battery replacement companies that are available? Would like to use someone that has had a good experience.

if you're using it for media a lot then the battery will be drained a lot more quickly than just using it for music/podcasts. i often listen to a 3.5 hour radio show via wifi using the BBC iPlayer and that pretty much kills the battery, but if i'm using it for just music/podcasts it will last at least a few days before needing a charge.
hints i have seen for the new batteries suggest that rather than letting your iPod run down, you should keep charging it, no matter how short a period, whenever you can.
