IPod touch losing charge

My iPod touch is 6 months old, but it is losing charge faster than it should. I took it in recently, and I was told that the problem was memory issues. I was asked to fully restore it as a new one. I did this, but it still has the same problem. I will take it in again, but in the meantime, has anyone else experienced the problem? If so, how is it solved?

Almost sounds like a failing battery. How fast is fast, what are you running when the battery drains fast?

  • New iPod Touch losing charge w/out use

    I received a new iPod Touch for Christmas, and while it will charge in the time specified in the manual it will not hold a charge like the manual says ("Even in sleep, iPod uses a small amount of current, and the battery slowly empties. Stored at optimal storage temperature, the battery will empty in 14 to 28 days.").
    If left in sleep mode without my using it at all, it loses charge in less than 24 hours, drains down to nothing even when I make sure all apps are closed and wifi is off.  Is this at all normal, or do I have a faulty battery?  I have an iPad, and it will go for days without needing charged when I'm not using it.  Is there some setting I need to use for my iPod so that it doesn't drain? 
    Thanks in advance for any help; I just haven't had time to take it into my local Apple store and ask.

    See the suggestions in the following for maximizing battery life. What I do is place the iPod in airplane mode overnight to minimize batter drain.

  • My iPod touch wont charge or turn on?

    My iPod touch was not fully charged but it had some charge and then it just turned off and now it won't turn back on. I plugged my iPod touch into charge and the red battery and lightning symbol comes on but that is still there a couple of hours later. If I unplug it it, is just a black screen and no matter what I do nothing happens. I can't turn it on and I have tried several different chargers that work for other devices so it is not the charger. I am abroad so I haven't got my laptop to see if it will charge that way or be detected in iTunes. I have tried resetting it and restarting it but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while.  Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent.  Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

  • HT1476 My ipod touch only charges when im not using it, when i use it, it doesnt bring up the charging symbol

    My ipod touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers

    First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
    Next 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why does my ipod touch stops charging at 20 %? please help

    my ipod touch 4g charges all the way to 20 percent than it stops please help 

    Try restarting your iPod touch.
    If that doesn't do it, you could try draining the battery completely and then charging it again or restoring it.

  • Ipod Touch 2G charging

    Why will my 32Gb Ipod Touch 2G charge when synced with the computer or from a mains adaptor with an output of 5V 1A but not from any number of emergency battery packs I have tried with a similar output? What's the difference that I am missing? Surely if there was a problem with my Touch then it would not charge at all.

    Getting a little warm is normal. Getting shocked is not. Are you sure you have the cable plugged in fully at both ends? If you have access to a different cable, try charging with that and see if the same thing happens. Are you charing using a USB port or are you using an AC adapter? Try a different port or outlet. Are all of your outlets grounded? If none of those changes make a difference, it may be the Touch itself in which case, you'd want to think about repairs.
    Best of luck.
