Is my Iphone 5 battery considered as Normal?

My Iphone battery drop rapidly to me, I don't know if this is normal but it's bother me a lot. It drops from 100% to 20% at a very fast rate, 4 hours of usage and 11 hours of standby! Even though it change very fast, it drops very fast too, I rather my battery take a longer time to change than it dropping so fast. If I go out, I'm always worried if my battery will last until I reach home.
I always set my brightness to around 10%, I don't on push up notification, I don't on Bluetooth and I don't use location services. So is my battery consisderted as draining rapidly?

The Iphone has varried battery duration. It depends what is running and what network you are one. Ehile at school I recomend putting the phone on airplaine mode as this will stop the Iphone from searching for networks.Did you do a full charge (100% to 0%)? On my Iphone it depends what I do. If I play games it heats up more causing faster battery drain. I can usually get a full day of usage (6:00 to 10:00) with some gaming but mainly texting and browsing the web. In some of my friends case they have seen better battery when they updated to IOS 6.1. I have seen better battery to. Always be on the current software because almost all updates of IOS help battery life. Hope this helps! Good luck with your new Iphone!

  • Is my iPhone 5s battery usage time normal?

    Hey there, I would like to find out is my iphone 5s battery usage time normal? Last night before i plug it in for charging it was recorded 4 hours and 33 minutes of usage time and 13 hours of standby.
    is that normal? The most usage time i have tried before is up to 5 hours.

    are you using it on wifi or cellular data? if wifi then it just the same on me. 4-5 hours.

  • My Iphone 4s battery usage log - is it normal?

    Hi,
    I purchased my Iphone 4s in November. Before the purchase, I had heard about the battery drainage problem reported for Iphone 4s. I had not owned any Iphone before. So I was worried that when I use my Iphone 4s, I would not be able to tell if the battery life is normal or not (since I have no reference level to compare to). So I decided to keep a detailed log on iphone activity and battery percentage.
    I am pasting below part of the log below (which covers roughly 2 full cycles). The column for Activity refers to the activity that was carried out on the Iphone since the very last log entry.
    (It looks very neat in my WORD, with everything aligned perfectly - but the format was mangled after I pasted it here)
    Would someone who is knowledgeable about Iphone battery please take a look and tell me whether my battery life is normal or not? This way I can stop monitoring the battery life, which is getting so tiresome!
    As you can see, I probably was not justified in buying an iphone in the first place since it was on standby mode most of the time! However, unconsciously, I have also tried to avoid using the phone since I had to make a log entry each time I use it, which can be so troublesome.
    Thanks a lot!

  • IPhone 4s battery stuck at 100 percent. How do I get it back to normal?

    iPhone 4s battery stuck at 100 percent. How do I get it back to normal?
    Ever since the update, I am having issues with the battery. Phone shuts down while it still shows 100 percent battery life. Normally not a big deal because I don't use it all the time but lately an issue when I'm working in Manhattan and it shuts down while in the middle of conversation or emailing.
    I can't go around charging it every hour wondering what my battery life really is.
    Please help!

    My phone now is not working at all. It only works for a few minutes while it is plugged into the wall and then it shuts down and pops right back up showing it has 75% battery. It has been doing this since yesteday afternoon.
    I tried the reset and it is still acting up. Dreading having to take this to the Apple store since it is past the initial 90 days and I will probably get charged for it. :( Dont want to shell out money for a new one since I just got this one in October.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Hello, I have a problem with my iphone 4 battery, it looses 20% over the night with wifi on and without receiving any phone call or notification. It also uses 1 or 2% each time I check my iphone even if it is just to check up my messages. Is it normal?

    Yes this is fairly normal. When you have wifi on the phone, it drains the battery life of the device.
    Here is an article that has some tips that you can follow so you can modify the settings on your device to extend it's battery life to the fullest.

    Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery.  But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
    ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

    iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

  • Is my iPhone 5s battery normal?

    I just want to check if my battery life is normal, my usage is very limited, opening 3G several times aday for maximum 5 min, browsing safari, whatsapp, instagram and few calls. Wi-Fi is always ON but location services, background app refresh, Bluetooth, iCloud are all turned OFF

    If you're that concerned, bring it to Apple for diagnostics.

  • Is there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?

    s there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?
    Sometimes i sleep and the my iphone is charging and of course the battery became full after two or three hours, and definitely i will not wake up in the midnight to just disconnect the charger, please i need your help.

    This is considered normal use. I think everybody does this, including myself. It's not something to worry about in the least bit.
    Just remember to complete a full charge cycle (allow the phone's battery to discharge to 10%-20%, then charge uninterruped to 100%) once a month and you'll be fine.

  • Should I be worried about my iphone's battery life?

    I went to sleep when my iphone's battery was on 60% and I woke up with it on 9%. I left the wifi on, but I still think the battery dropped too much in just a few hours without me even using the phone. Is it normal or should I be worried?

    There's no way for any of us to be able to tell.  "Normal" battery life is dependent on settings.  Evaluating what is normal requres specific evauation tools.  Those tools will take your settings into account.  If you have some battery sucking settings, the situation you have described would be considered normal.
    The blog linked below has some very useful information about maximizing your battery life.

  • IPhone 5 battery getting stuck at 100%

    I recently got an iPhone 5 16GB as a gift, and I love it. I have only charged it 5 times and the lowest I've let the battery get so far is 14%. However the one problem i've been having is that two of the five total times i've charged it, the battery percentage will be stuck at 100% for about 2-3 hours even after moderate to heavy use before it starts to show that it's going down. The only conclusion I have for this is that the lowest I've let the battery get is 14% and not completely drained yet. Would charging the phone to 100% then letting it get so low that it turns itself off fix this issue?

    Depending upon what you consider to be "moderate to heavy use" what you are seeing might be normal.  I charge my iPhone 5 every night, many mornings, it goes 1-1.5 hours before it drops form 100%.  I don't use my iPhone all the time, but I do tend to use it to look at emails in teh morning beofer I get to the office.  In the 1.5 hours after I unplug it, it may have 10-15 minutes of "screen on time" before the battery meter shows it dropping from 100%.  I suspect that there is nothing wrong with your iPhone or battery, it is just that you might not be sued to the battery efficiency the iPhone 5 has in comparison to older iPhone models.

  • Iphone 4 battery sometimes drains fast -- problem with Mail app?

    My iphone 4 battery often drains too quickly, and I wonder if it has something to do with my Mail App.
    When my phone is not playing nice, it drains at least 20% overnight while on Standby, and from 100% to 30% in around 6 hours when I use it during the day. I found a fix (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11775150) that basically says to wipe your mail account and set it up again.
    This fix works, but only temporarily for me. I find that I have to keep resetting my mail every few days to get back to "normal battery" where it barely drains overnight. I only use one email account (gmail) -- could there be something going on there?
    Oh, and when my battery drains fast, nothing changes when I turn off WiFi, notifications, push, etc. I usually have my mail refresh hourly.
    Has anyone had this experience?

  • Iphone 4 battery draining fast and yellowish blobs on the screen

    So I got my iphone 4 today. 32GB. Came home charged it full powered down for battery memory and left off for a few minutes like instructed.
    I have not done much with the phone and I am already at 85% within an hour of using it for texting. maybe 30 texts so far. Wifi off, no tethering connection made, Brightness turned to max push every 15 minutes 3G on. For a battery that is 40%n bigger it is really draining fast.
    Now I am noticing yellowish blobs on the right side vertically and a few on the top horizontally. I read in a post that it was because of not cured residue and should go away in a few days. DOES this make sense to you folks. Where does it say that on apples site.
    I am about to call a tech about this and have them send me something in writing.
    This is just frustrating as I was hoping for a great experience this year. From the let down from the white iphone to my battery being drained to now yellow blobs..man can anything else go wrong.
    What say you??????? any of you have battery issues yet

    If my past experience with iPhones and iPods is any indication, you'll find that over the next couple days as you use your iPhone the battery indicator will become more accurate. My habit (as I've done with my new iPhone 4) is to use it until the indicator shows red and then charge it fully and then do that twice more. At that point the indicator should be 'calibrated' with the battery and be more accurate. Yesterday I used my phone for about 5 hours before the battery indicator gave me 20% warning. Today I've used it as I normally would in a day and, as I always did with my G3S, I'm currently home from work with a 40% charge showing. Guess I'll have to play a little Angry Birds tonight
    I've seen nothing official from Apple about the yellow splotches but I read either at Engadget or Gizmodo this morning that a worker experienced with this process claims it is the bonding adhesive which hasn't finished curing. It has been widely reported second hand. Don't know if contacting AppleCare this early in the game will get you anywhere. Since iPhones are in short supply at this time and you have a year's warranty, I'd wait a couple days and see if the report is correct. If the yellow defect goes away it was true.

  • My iPhone 5 battery drain with in 3 hours when I use cellular network on and stand by time is only 2 and half day

    I Bought iphone 5 from USA  when I came to India I started it then I noticed the battery stand by time is only 3 days. And when I use cellular data then it is live only for 2 and half hour. I bought this phone in January till now I am having the same problem. I have done all the thing whatever the support center told me about restore and all stuff. After that they told me to visit any apple store but there are no store in India and I'm helpless. For my iPhone only I can't go abroad to that country where stores are. Before I used to believe that apple products are the best but this iPhone has just disappointed me. You know my friend making fun of my mobile because they are using samsung product.
    Pleade do some thing for me I have left only 2 month of warranty. other wise I will have to through this on dustbin because everywhere it is insulting me.

    Sorry, but the warranty for the iPhone is only valid in the country where you bought the device.
    In most of the cases 3rd party apps or settings caused the battery to drain faster than before the new software has been set up. Sometimes the mail app tried to connect to the mail server over and over again, deleting and setting up the mail account can solve this problem.
    In other cases social media apps did similar things to the phone.
    Here are some suggestions for getting back the normal battery life, maybe they are helpful for your problem with your iPhone 5 as well.

  • IPhone 6 battery life draining since 8.1 update

    Is anyone else having problems with their iPhone 6 battery life diminishing since the latest 8.1 update? I notice I'm getting much less usage time per hour. For example, before 8.1, it would take about 3 hours of usage time to get to 70%. Now it only takes 2 and it gets worse after that. Here is a screenshot I took of the battery usage before the 8.1 update:
    This is pretty normal usage timings for me (it was taken Monday, October 20th). Now, here is a screenshot from today, after starting out with 100% this morning:
    As you can see, it's quite a huge difference. The weird thing is that messaging seems to take up more battery life than it used to. Yes, I do text quite a bit during the day but the frequency of this has not changed between now and October 20th. It shouldn't be using THAT much battery life. I took it to the Genius Bar yesterday to ask them about this problem and the girl told me that she saw some crashing from the Messages app in Diagnostics Information and she felt that maybe since the update, there was something causing that app to use more battery. So she suggested erasing the phone and restoring from an iCloud backup. I did this yesterday when I got home but, as you can see, the problem is no better (though there are no more crashes listed in the diagnostics information).
    I have no idea what else I can do to fix this and I'm getting really tired of having to charge this twice a day now (I used to have to do this with my iPhone 5, as well). If anyone has had a similar problem, I would appreciate suggestions. And before you ask, I'm doing all of the normal battery saving tricks, like turning off background app refresh, not having it check for mail all the time (it's manual), brightness is down, I turn wifi off when not using it, I don't leave apps open, etc etc etc.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
    Pooja

    I turn off background refresh, mail push/fetch, and I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them. I also minimize which apps use location services. Even when doing all of that though, the battery life became terrible on 8.1. Since updating to 8.1.1 all issues seem to have been fixed so I'm very grateful for that. I recommend anyone on 8.1 who is having issues to upgrade to 8.1.1 immediately.

  • Iphone 5s battery drains fast after ios 7.1 update.

    Am I the only one who seems to be experiencing this? My iphone 5S battery seem to drain much faster than usual, and charge longer. I heard that the new update is supposed to increase battery life, and read comparison threads regarding other iphones that are capable of a much better battery life than mine.
    I've had my phone for 3 months, never have dropped it once or anything of the sort, if that matters. My battery drains to 50% within an hour or so after intense use on the lowest level of brightness, and I seem to lose about 5-7 percents when on standby for 5 hours or so. Is this normal? Is it perhaps due to the fact that I am mostly using 3g, and applications that require more processing such as tumblr (graphics and gifs) as well safari? I'm just worried that my battery may be draining to quick, despite the update which's supposed to make it much better according to many people.
    Thanks.

    Me too.
    I went from plugging in to charge at the end of the night, around 11pm, to barely getting through a workday with very light use.  With less than 10 hrs of standby and maybe 30 minutes with the screen even on I am rocking 15% battery life.  I'm also connected to wifi whenever at home or in the office, which accounts for over 9 hours of the standby time.
    I know people are suggesting turn off features... but eff that, 5 days ago I'd get through an entire day without any issue, under much heavier useage.  I don't want to have to turn on bluetooth everytime I get in my car and back off when I get out, I just want it to work when I turn the car on... I don't want to manually check for emails, I want it to tell me when an email comes.
