Is it a battery drain to place auto lock on never

Ddoes it cause battery drain to put auto lock on never setting ?

Yes because the iPad will never go to sleep when you are not using it. The screen being on all of the time will help to drain the battery faster.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • Battery drain after downloading free apps BUT never launched them

    I have searched all 7 pages of iPhone 3G section, any topic with "battery" in subject line, did not find a match, so posting new question.
    I'm a new 3G owner; use wifi and bluetooth, fetch mail manually (no push); battery life easily holds 2-3 days with my typical usage; had never downloaded an app; last night decided to browse the free app store; download several stupid games and a few apps (google earth, urban spoon, shazaam, weather channel). BUT have not launched ANY of them...just the new icons sitting on my phone. However, today, after fully charging last night, battery dropeed to 20% by about noon. ???
    Again, haven't changed a setting nor have I launched any of the apps I downloaded (was planning to play this weekend). Any ideas? Or should I just unistall all of them and download one at a time and watch it going forward?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I performed a reset (press and hold sleep/wake and home buttons together); I also noted that location services had turned on, so I turned that off (but left wifi and bluetooth ON as I normally do). Seems to have helped battery life dramatically.
    It seems obvioius that certain apps I downloaded (google earth, the weather channel, etc.) all use location settings. Therefore the only thing I can reason through is that upon downloading, when the apps were being installed, one or more of them began to access location services or the internet, even though I did not open the app(s) specifically.
    So, from my experience, beware that apps may very well install in a state that best suits their purpose and design; that while you may not open them directly, they may automatically be accessing the internet or location services.
    Another suggestion would be to only load one new app at a time. That way, you can observe and isolate any change or impact on your phone, battery, performace, etc.; then easily uninstall if needed.

  • Battery drain in off position

    Battery drains when in off position.  Never used to do that.

    Hi,
    Normally battery performance improves after few charge/discharge cycles, they rarely work to their optimum straight out of the box.

  • My iPod touch screen doesn't shut off. The auto lock is set for two mintues, and everything else is working fine. I've noticed it only fails to shut off when in the music screen. How do I get the screen to shut off without using the lock button?

    Please help. This is really annoying and it runs my battery down. My auto lock is set to two minutes. I've checked several times. Thanks.

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • Speak Screen halts when Auto Lock comes on

    If I am using Speak Screen to have a book read to me from Kindle, and Auto Lock comes on, Speak Screen stops reading.
    I have friends who use this same functionality who say their phone keeps reading to them when their phone is locked.  Does anyone know what setting I should use to do this?  If I set Auto Lock to "Never" it keeps reading, but then my battery drains quickly because the screen stays on.
    Thanks!

    If you search the forum for "lossless" you will discover that this is a problem/bug anyone who is using lossless is having. Currently there is no fix, other than to not use lossless. You can send feedback stating your dissatisfaction with this:

  • Auto Lock still enabling during sync

    I have disabled the auto lock to never come on. I was initially getting errors during syncing about the drive not being able to be written to after a few songs. I adjusted all my power settings on the USB hubs on my pc and in the bios, to make sure they weren't auto disabling to save power.
    Now I can get much more songs on it before the error, and every time the error occurs through iTunes, my device shows that it's locked again.
    Like I said, I'm disabled this feature, changing the setting to "Never". I have powered down device and disconnected from PC, booting device back up and reconnecting, attempting sync again, and after many successful track transfers, it locks itself.

    You can re-download purchased apps for free. Click on buy, click yes to I want to purchase, another popup will appear, you have already purchased, do you want to re-download, click yes.

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    - Try a reset. Nothing is 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
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Battery drain problem - question if auto lock is problem

    Just upgraded from iPad2 to Retina iPad. Went smoothly with cloud backup and download but experiencing sever battery drain. Went to use it 2 days ago after limited use prior evening (taking minutes in Evernote for 2 hr meeting) and had shut off. Restarted and had 2% battery and totally useless. Recharged overnight to 100% but had no demands yesterday. That evening opened up and found I had 21% remaining.
    Did battery problem search at this site, made some adjustments, and recharged to 100% for this AM. Two primary adjustments were stopping Bluetooth and Autolock changed from never (iPad2 setting) to 10 minutes and wondering if the autolock feature is the problem as discussed in the next paragraph. Others I didn't change, gmail set to fetch/manual and Cloud is push. WiFi on and disabling like suggested in some threads would be a royal PITA having to turn it back on every time and counter to the Apple vision of useability. App Store is set to advise of updates. Each of those were like on the iPad2 where had no battery problem, except I didn't activate cloud until just prior to the upgrade. IOS on both machines fully upgraded to IOS 6.01.
    Interesting discovery this AM. While I set the Auto-Lock to 10 minutes last evening, the the iPad Cover lock/unlock is set "ON". It appears that the 10 minute Auto Lock is working, however, the automatic lock/unlock is not which would explain the battery drain when set autolock was set to never. This AM as I opened it, had to manually unlock it as opposed to having the cover unlock it for me. As I close the cover and peek under the edge can still see the iPad  illuminated until the 10 minutes kicks in...then manually unlock it again. The cover I am using is the heavy duty RooCase with magnetic clip and had no problem when using it with the iPad2. (Great case by the way!) Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Battery drains differently, in different places. . .

    so, it's obvious battery life on the 3GS is less than desired, but i've noticed in the past few weeks that the battery drains at different rates, in different places. does this happen to anybody else here?
    for example, keeping 3G, wifi, and location services "on" with normal use (from a 100% charge in the morning), my battery retains power above 90% most of the day while i'm at home or walking/driving about (like on a weekend etc.). BUT when i'm at work, without having used the phone at all, my battery drops (from a 100% charge in the morning) to below 85% by noon time!
    what the **** is going on here? why does my battery drain way more at work, without any use, than at home with normal use?

    Exactly..And to piggy back on that 5 bars doesnt always mean a "quality " signal. If you look at the AT&T coverage map (which isnt always 100% acurate) and you are on the edge of a coverage area, it may or may not be a "quality" signal. Meaning the phone can pick up 4-5 bars but being on the edge of the coverage area can get interfearence from surrounding objects, like buildings etc...

  • My auto-Lock will not engage draining battery what can I do, I reset 2X

  • Random iphone 3g battery drain ... appears to be a background mail check

    Phone Info: Model: 16GB/Black, 3g ON, OS 2.0.1, Mail: Push On and Manual Fetch, Location SVCs ON, LCD auto bright, Own this phone for 20 days.
    I noticed (twice) that my phone battery drained up overnight after a full charge 5 hours earlier. It happened once with OS 2.0 and other time with OS 2.0.1. I started suspecting background apps (while the phone is in standby - blank screen) probably doing some unnecessary work and draining the battery juice.
    I did some investigation during last week to turn on/off various parameters to close on which app is causing trouble. It appears to be Apple mail program! If I turn off all mail accounts, phone "Settings->General->usage meter" goes up by approx. 1min/hour when the phone is in standby. With my 3 mail accounts (2 yahoo and 1 gmail) on, usage meter goes up anywhere from 4-12 mins/hour or lot longer in some cases. This translates to about 100-250 mins of phone usage time/day without really opening up the phone. On 3G phone, 4 hrs of usage is where battery goes from full to 10% charge.
    Details: The above problem doesn't happen always! This happens only when mail application spins in the background for a *long time* to fetch or sync mail. When it happens you see a rapid battery drain in standby. This is a most common scenario when you have a network connection (web browsing OK) but somehow the mail sync up (thru' SSL POP) takes forever. This is what I tried to reproduce: Goto mail->open account1->open inbox .. when it is spinning to fetch mail manually.. 30-45sec later give up and try another mail account..repeat above and press home button finally(at this point as a typical user you waited 1-2 mins to get mail on Wifi and gave up.. we are talking about your inbox having zero new in/out mails!. This is just for syncing your phone with the server). You can press standby and turn off the phone screen. Check couple hours later and usage meter goes up by how long the mail was spinning in the background.
    I think the right implementation is Apple Mail should turn off background check when the user closes the app! OR at the least detect the phone is in standby and stop spinning after a small timeout.
    Mail Push on or off has no effect on the problem. No other settings (3g on/off, GPS...) have any effect.. they don't increase background battery usage!
    Appreciate your posts on any workarounds or fixes to this problem.

    I'm flying blind here, a little, because I'm not currently using a 3G iPhone. However, I use MobileMe on my iMac, MacBook Pro and a Windows Vista laptop. Keep in mind that MobileMe syncs not only your email, but your calendar, contacts, bookmarks, etc. If possible, turn off MobileMe at night when you don't need to sync. See if that stops the spinning globe. When Apple changed from dotmac to MobileMe--offering "push" email, calendar updates, etc.--battery drain on the iPhone was bound to happen, because it takes battery power to connect to the MobileMe server. That's true of BlackBery's as well as any other mobile device using "push" technology.
    Turning your POP and other email accounts off probably doesn't change MobileMe's synching with calendar, contacts, bookmarks, etc. I've noticed when I make a change on my MacBook Pro or iMac that the change does not take place immediately, unlike a BlackBerry connected to an Enterprise server. I'm assuming you're not using ActivSync with an Enterprise server. Neither do I since I use the BlackBerry Internet Service (BES). Emails, using BES, usually hit my BlackBerry before hitting Apple Mail on my Macs, but BEST is only pushing email.
    Best answer to problem? Turn off your iPhone at night and save battery power. Not a perfect solution if you want to take phone calls at night. But until AT&T improves its 3G network (more towers, more 3G radios, etc.), that's the easiest way to keep your battery powered.
    I explain the battery power situation in my V1 iPhone review. Google "Mobile Telephony Innovations iPhone" and you'll see the review listing.

  • How should I tackle battery drain issues?? I'm fed up

    I'm fed up a bit for my Z3 C battery life. This is my second query regarding battery life.
    Does keeping Mobile data and Whatsapp running ON even in standby mode drains the battery??
    I usually get just 1 or 2 whatsapp messages in an hour or two.
    My phone settings-
    Always turned off my wifi/ bt/ nfc/ gps/ location tracking/ autoupdates etc. & everything you can think and suggest.
    I use only stock custom wallpaper and no live stuff. No widgets. No sd card inserted. With only two homescreens with just 2 shortcuts on each screen.
    Have disabled apps which I dont use.
    Stopped services of apps which are no longer needed.
    No auto sync enabled for any app.
    Display brightness is at 30% all times.
    I use only these 3rd party apps-
    Status bar mini
    Network monitor mini
    Whatsapp
    Greenify
    My daily Z3 routine-
    At night while going to sleep I turn off mobile data,  turn on airplane mode and turn on stamina mode. (12:30am - 9:30am)
    Manually Force stop apps which are on. Use Greenify to exit/stop apps.
    When I wake up the next day battery is down by 4-5%.
    During day, phone runs in normal mode without any stamina activated. (10am - 12:30am)
    The Low-battery mode seems useless as it does literally nothing.
    Also, as soon as the battery is 100% charged and if I use phone for even 5 mins the battery immediately drops to 99%, so is this normal??
    Even if I capture 5 photos in stock auto mode the battery drops by 1% or 2.
    I reboot my phone once a week or in 10 days or when need arises.
    Ram utilised is always 1gb. But I dont feel any slowness for any app or my phone usage.
    So inspite of all this STRICT following what I get at the end of the day is just 1.2 days battery life.
    Again I dont watch any movies or play games fearing my battery will deplete in no time.
    So basically I'm using my Z3 as a battery monitoring unit and is 85% on standby mode. So when shall I use my phone the way it is designed for??? 
    I have read people using it for occasionally playing games and watching movies, light surfing, calling and camear and it still lasts a good 2 days. So where I'm going wrong here?
    I use 2G/edge network as 3G isnt available for my operator in the city I reside.
    Charging the phone to 100% from 14% takes 3 to 3.5 hours.
    I have already repaired my phone using Sony pc companion and also did a factory reset as well but this issue has been haunting me.
    Sony center says the battery doesnt need any replacement as its still healthy and so is my device.
    The phones service menu also reports battery status as Good.
    I dont know when is Lollipop gonna be out for Z3 but I fear updating to Lollipop as it may pose more serious issues than doing any good apart from usual GUI tweaks & updates.
    But just wish that lollipop brings in more relief to Z3 batteries and operations.

    Hi all,
    I dont know what topic to choose Got them all:
    I was looking around and tried a lot of tips concerning the battery drainage, no luck , 
    but then I noticed other issues as well
    I tried to send a mail to support but, some how it is not working today: tried different browsers, even different computers.
    NOT here to talk bad, complain or talk down on this product, I know the phone in  working condition,
    from my house mate and it is what they promise. I just dont know what to do and a bit frustrated and lauged at by my house mate.
    I am posting, may be you guys have some answers, solutions or experiences.
    But I think I am just unlucky to have a black sheep of the production.
    My Firmware : 23.0.1.A.5.77
    My issues.
    - Battery Drain
    - Screen isseus
    - And reception issues 
    **Battery Drain**
    I wake up 06:00 get it from the charger got to work when I come home 18:00 i got 15% left.
    I actually can see the percentages going down while scrolling my emails.
    ow beginning I work in support myself, I waited for an
    - Waited for Updates
    - Installed the update
    - Un installed apps.
    - Configured stamina almost so tight that most of the apps except email where online
    - Did a factory reset twice
    1) First time start using it as normal, with less apps, still same performance maybe
         3% better, but that might be because i didn't used it so much of the less apps
    2) Second time Factory reset - I got a 2, full days out of it:
         - No Apps Installed
         - No Wifi
         - Didn't use it at al left it on my nightstand
         - No data traffic
         - 3/4 screenshots
         - No Phone Calls
    Well what is the use for a (premium) smartphone if you leave it on your nightstand?
    When I start using it at the minimum installed:
    - 2 email accounts (Gmail and company one)
    - Facebook
    - Spotify
    Check it out:
    !!This after the 2nd FACTORY RESET Yesterday!!!
    Screenshot from this morning on my way to work
    (to be fair left it with 100% unused at home and still 2 days and 3 hours)
    Ok the next picture is on my way home , didnt use it since no apps installed and busy at work (this is about 12 hrs later)
    Installed Spotify listened about 30minutes over 4g
    18 hours left ? Quick calculation dat is 21 hours missing (33 hours in total)
    Next installed facebook , some mail accounts, whatsapp, apped a couple of people that I am available again
    45 Minutes later: 8 hours gone.
    What do you think? Is it me? Or is there something wrong?
    ** SCREEN PROBLEMS **
    I tought I noticed a couple of glitches with the screen, like little flashes,
    but was not sure, I kind of found the use of the screen suspicious while monitoring the battery (50%)
    al the time even if it was home doing nothing the whole day.
    The  the Bouncing touch, i experienced that also but not constant, there is another topic about that here.
    Things I didnt worried about untill : I was looking around the battery menu,
    and descover the usage graph screen, when I went in to it i noticed a little falsh and a lag.
    and then I had a little heart attack: screen broken , dead pixels what is it.?! BUT ONLY on yhis screen,
    no problem with it BEFORE the factory reset:
    TAKE A LOOK, AND ALSO NOTICE THE GRAPH GOING DOWN ALMOST IN A STRAIGHT LINE,
    screen shot a minute later as the 3rd screen shot of battery drain.
    CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN , IT LOOKS CRACKED RIGHT? IT ISNT!!
    ** CONNECTION/RECEPTION PROBLEMS **
    I kind of noticed , isseus , but wasnt bothered that much, only while analyzing the battery that was my main concern.
    I noticed I had always less reception than others same room/place same provider (VODAFONE IRELAND),
    maybe that was an factor draining the battery, but it was not like there was really low signal just one bar less then other
    people an the other Z3 here in the house.
    What did noticed , and I was willing to wait for an firmware update for it, It kept losing 4G connectivity;
    it flipped to 3g for a bit and the stays hanging around H and Edge.
    WORKAROUND restart the fone and with no problem back on 4g but after a while and not moving;
    4g drops again to either H or Edge. (Mind Vodafone has the biggest and strongest 4g network at the moment here in Dublin)
    So now I dont know what to do, I kinda bought the fone for my holiday (in 3 weeks).
     - Is it serious enough that Sony will replace it? Since opening it up an closing it, will lose waterproofing
     - What else will they expect from me to do / trouble shoot?
     - How long will a solution take? Sending the fone back etc.
    And finally other people reconize these isseus, and especially like me at the same time?
    Thanks in advance For your Feedback (if Any).
    I will try to mail support again now, and hope the website works now.
    Eddy.

  • IPhone 5 battery drain since iOS 8.2 update

    hello,
    my name is Udi, from Israel.
    i have an iPhone 5 which i purchased in June 2013.
    since the beginning, i have always kept the battery saving "rules", including correct charging of a lithium ion battery, auto-brightness off, reduce motion on, push notifications off, background app refresh off, cellular data off when not in use, etc. etc.
    since updating to iOS 8, my battery life has decreased a little. but since updating to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, i have experienced, what is in my standards, a serious battery drain. e.g. when i sleep, with my iPhone on airplane mode at night battery decreases by ~15%.
    i have tried everything, including restoring the phone and using a backup.
    what can i do?
    will a restore from scratch (without using a backup) help?
    thanks in advance =)

    If this does not help, get your phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place, or contact Apple Support and talk to them. They can check the battery online.
    You can also visit this page to do that: iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
    Click on Apple Support, then on ->Battery, Power &Charging ->Battery questions and troubleshooting, and follow the instructions.
