Read the advertising wording carefully. They say 'UP TO" not 'will' last for 12 hours. Also this is based on very low resource consuming criteria. Very ,very fer users will achieve battery run time of 12 hours.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

simply try doing a back up and restore
when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
good luck !!

I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck

My iPod touch, 4th generation, keeps having problems with the backlight? It keeps turning on, and then off.

The backlight keeps having problems. Like, it will turn off and not come back on. I have tried all solutions. But the weird part is that when I kill the battery, like when I let the charge die, and then I try to recharge it, the backlight will then come back on for a little while, but then the light goes back out. Is there any way I can get this fixed or something? Without having to go and buy a new iPod or such. Because my warranty is out. It just went out like not even a whole month ago. But I have tried resetting it, restoring it, turning it off then back on, etc. And the only thing that seems to work is when I let the charge run out, but even then it only works for a short amout of time.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price (for 4G $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the others). They do not fix yours.

Having problem with switching it on

Perhaps your battery is bad.
Have you had problems with decreasing battery life in the past?

Verizon is the 4.3 update causing problems with my phone because my phone is having problems

I have been having multiple problems with my GS3 since the 4.3 update including wifi connection issues dropped and frozen calls frequent unmounting of my sd card bluetooth problems to site the worst. I have updated and reset my router checked and reset my phone settings multiple times taken my baterry out of my phone 2 a day on average turned my phone off multiple times a day to reset it. I am now wondering what will fix all these problems because nothing i have read from your forums has done anything, how much longer do i have to pay full monthly prices for services i can no longer full monthly access?

Your phone is a mini computer, no matter what os it runs.
Software updates from various developers , patch and patch again. Adding to the original App software already on your device. Not only do updates apps take up more room on your device with each update, but imperfect updates and the communication with other services on your phone lead to many software "glitches".   When there are major software errors, the best remedy is to clean it out and start it fresh.
It is recommended for Apple devices suffering from battery life problems, app crashes, lack of device storage and other issues after the iOS 7 update.
Android devices are no different.
It is drastic, but sometimes unavoidable.   Don't forget to back up any information that is unique to the device.

Is the 10.7.2 fixed battery drain problem ?

there is no information anywhere and I wonder if this problem is fixed ?

I wonder what percentage of users has that problem? Maybe I need to retest that one Unibody MacBook battery again with Snow Leopard, we always got poor life with Windows on it.
I will double check also the new 2011 MBP, unfortunately, we have no reference to what is a good battery life on that one. It is a new system. It definitely had no effect on our old white MB.
(Now I am having serious battery life problem with my 2010 Touch could that be an OS?)

Having problem with receiving gmail message in my appropriate email folders.

Hello,
I am new to this forum and I have a question.
Yesterday I was having problems with my BB Torch, the touchpad was doing funny things like jumping lines etc.
So, I did a force restart, (remove battery for a minute).
After I did that, all my gmail emails disappeared from the appropriate gmail icons. I have 2 gmails setup and none of the messages are there.
They are still coming under the general MESSAGES folder where I can retrieve them but nothing under the gmail icons.
Is there any way to fix it?
I was really happy with the separate gmail folders and everything worked fine until now.
Just FYI... I did an update to the Blackberry software couple weeks ago but still everything worked fine even after.
Can somebody help me to fix this?
I even deleted the gmails and reset them again through the BB Setup.
It still says, "No messages".
Thank you

Nikon Coolpix L100 Battery Exhausted Problem

Hi,
I have recently bought a new Nikon Coolpix L100 Camera just 6 days back from a Best Buy Store. I am running with Battery Exhausted issue for each turn on. Even I tried to change the new battery , the problem doesn't change any behaviour and the outcome is remain same. I am really helpless to find out the cause of this problem whether this is a problem with the Camera or with Battery. As I have purchased this recently , I would like to replace this.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Anil

Hi anilkhamari,
If you've tried using brand new AA batteries, and you continue to have issues with your new camera having no power, Nokia is most likely correct that your camera is defective.
With that being said there are certain measures you can take to conserve battery power, and enhance how long your camera has power. First thing you could try is using Lithium AA batteries. This type of battery will have a much longer charge than the average alkaline battery. The LCD is the part of the battery that uses the most power by far, and there are usually settings on a camera that can save power by adjusting the brightness level of its LCD. I would also suggest you make sure the power button is always turned off while the camera isn't being used, and that it isn't inadvertently being turned on while in your camera bag.
If you do feel like your camera is defective you should be able to return or exchange the purchase as long as it was purchased in the last 14 days, and the purchase is older than 14 days you should be able to get it repaired by the cameras manufacturer's warranty. I would suggest bringing it to your local Best Buy® store, and they should be able to take care of you.
I hope this helps!

OS Update & Battery Life Problem

I thought I would throw in my two cents worth of iPhone 4 OS update. I'm experiencing many of the same problems that other folks have reported on the discussions boards...battery draining, apps closing while using them, etc. My phone is basically rendered useless at this point. I went to the apple store and their solution was to sell me a new battery for $79.00. I said no-way, there was nothing wrong with my phone prior to the OS update and immediately after the update is when I stared having problems, so no, it's not the battery. The apple store clerk changed the settings on my phone, changed auto-lock from 4 minutes to 1 minutes, changed all my mail accounts from push to fetch, changed locations settings and any other settings that might have an impact on battery life. It helped a little bit, but did not put the phone back to the way it was prior to the OS install.
I find it hard to believe that apple put out a product without first throughly testing it to make sure it would work on the million cellphones already out there.
I really hope apple is listening and reading the message boards because they need to come out with a fix for this problem before people dump their iPhones in search of a phone that actually works. Can you say Blackberry?
Thanks for listening to me vent.
Kathy

I am having the exact same problem! Mine was at 80% last night before I went to sleep and was dead again for the second night in a row. I am thinking about resorting. These last few updates released have been the worst ever! I almost missed an appointment yesterday morning but luckily today is Sunday and it was dead again. Have you had any luck yet?

Sensor Battery Died- Problem Linking Replacement Sensor

I had a great experience with my NikePlus sensor the first time around. The training program option on nikeplus.com has been great to keep me motivated, and so far I have lost 30 pounds! Then the sensor battery died...
I have gotten a new sensor and receiver for my 3rd generation ipod, but it is having problems linking with the sensor. I use a velco pack on the laces rather than spend the money on the Nike+ shoes and it wasn't a problem with the first sensor. The set up is still the same, but now the replacement sensor isn't reading properly. The replacement sensor is linked to the nano, but the pace zeros out. As an example, today I ran 2.5 miles and it only read .07 miles since the pace was 0.00 the majority of the time.
I want to get back on track, but can't figure out how to fix this. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure if it is related to my nano being linked to another (my original) sensor, or if it is just a bad sensor.
Help!

My wife had the same problem with her Nano 3rd Gen iPod and Nike Sensor. She is using a pair of Nike shoes with the sensor pocket (not the most comfortable shoes, ... but that's another story). The battery died on the sensor after 3 months of fairly regular use. We took the sensor in to the Apple Store and they were kind enough to provide her with a replacement free of charge.
We got back home and the new sensor will not sync with the receiver/iPod. I am OK with buying a $19 sensor (OK, but not at all thrilled) every 3-6 months if it provides the type of enthusiasm and incentive to workout that my wife has enjoyed. But to have to purchase the sensor and the receiver every 2-3 months is a joke.
With the great minds at both Nike and Apple, they should be able to provide a sustainable product with a replaceable battery with more consistent life. I have read many reviews and the battery on the sensor lasts anywhere from 2 months to 14 months. That is a horrible variation in performance for a high tech piece of electronics.
If you are close to an Apple Store, I would return the sensor and demand a free replacement. Perhaps when Apple gets a thousands of the sensors piling up in their storerooms they will increase the reliability.
