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 my iphone 5s battery normal when it drains 1% battery every minute when i use facetime?

Hello,
This is the first time i bought an iphone so i dont know if its normal for an iphone 5s to drain 1% battery every minute when using facetime? I notice also when im writing this message it also drains my battery every minute. Since i open my iphone i already did many saving tips. But i think it doesnt work at all. Hope to get an answer soon.
Thank you.

Facetime is possibly the most battery intensive application on your phone. Is it normal for it to drain 1% every min.? I don't use it enough to know, but i wouldn't be surprised.

Hi, I would like to ask you a question. a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day iphone is operating normally, but when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionall

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question.
a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
I need your help!!,
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
VK

The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

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.

Is my Iphone 4's Battery Normal ?

I Bought a Used iPhone 4 Yesterday. I charged it to 100% by wall charger, and I used it randomly for about 1 hours 31 Minutes ( as shown in stats of my phone ) and kept it on standby for 2 hours 30 mins, and the battery went down to 79%. I did a 10 minutes video call on skype and battery drained 8% ( from 87% to 79 % ) I mean it fell too fast , i am a new apple user, i previously used Nokia x6, which had far better battery life of about 3 days normal use. So if here is any iPhone 4 User, Please guide me if my phone's battery is fine or not.
My settings are:
Brightness 50%
notifications off
Location services off
Push data Off
bluetooth Off
3G Data Off
Ipod EQ Off
No background applications running
Normal Use of texting and calling.

There are too many variables to judge. The battery life using 3G for data or voice is 7 hours. In 1 1/2 hours it should be expected to use 21% of the battery (1.5/7 x 100), so 79 % is exactly where it should be if you were using data most of that time. The life will be shorter if you have a weak signal; the phone must increase its output power (and thus battery drain) if you have less than 5 bars.

Is my iPhone 5s battery usage time normal?

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 quick getting hot till hours

Hi there,
I got a problem with my iPhone. I restored it Yesterday via iCloud and today the battery is draining very quick and its getting hot. No background apps running! I got iStat, it says the workload is always at ~3. A reboot doesn't help. Hopefully this bug should have been invenstigated by an apple engineer.

There was a problem with a CalDAV server. It always trying connecting to it. Then dataaccessd crashed. And connected again and crashed, and so one.... After deleting the account and readded (with the same informations) the iPhone's running normal again.

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.

Solution to Iphone 5 battery drain iOS 6.02

Like many people I just bought a new Iphone 5 and noticed that the power drains very quickly compared to my previous Iphone 3GS, 4 and 4S. I tried many of the suggestions online such as turning off wireless, brightness, deleting this and that. I even tried to downgrade to ios 6.0.1 which failed as an error message showed up.
Then I came across a youtube that solve it, the link is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkfU-OvQVp8
Warning: Before you do anthing, read the backup/restore info in the end of this message
Solution
Basically what you need to do is
to go Settings->General->Reset->Erase all content and settings
Activate the phone as a NEW phone
Plug into itune and setup as a NEW phone
That's it!
Results
From that point on, my iphone 5 battery went back to normal. I turned on all my wireless, bluetooth, email push notifications, ie turn on all the smartphone functions as it should be. My 3G speed even improved tremendously from 500ms ping/1Mbps down/0.06 Mbps up to 99ms/9.51Mbps/0.34Mbps at the same location when I tested using speedtest.net app (several tests done. My data plan is still on 3G so I did not turn on the 4G or LTE functions of the iphone 5.
Backup/restore
Because you are setting up the phone as NEW, you cannot restore any data from itune. What you can do is to backup to icloud BEFORE carrying out the solution. This will backup your contacts/pictures/etc. These will then be downloaded back into the iphone from icloud after the phone is setup as new.
However, some Apps such as WhatsApp, Apps that have data that are not icloud supported will need to be backup and restore using other methods. This depends on the Apps.
Hence BE WARN, do your own backup and find your own restore methods because for this to work, you cannot use itune restore from backup function.
Does it work for you?
I hope this works for those Iphone users who is restoring their previous 3/3GS/4/4S backups from ituen into their new Iphone 5. I don't know if it works for totally new user of a new Iphone 5.
If this works for you, leave a comment here so that it will help others.

This is a follow-up. I called Apple Support. They had me go through a sequence of unplugging the phone from the computer, then rebooting the computer, unplugging and shutting down the phone, plugging in the phone while holding the Hold button to force a restore. It then finished the update and all is well. I wouldn't suggest trying this without having Support on the phone.

Does the alarm clock drain the iPhone 4 battery?

My iPhone 4 battery drains overnight and I was wondering if the alarm clock has something to do with it. If this is not the case, is there a way to not have the battery drain overnight?
Please let me know of anything you know to conserve battery life as much as possible.
_

Leaving it overnight without charging will use small amount of battery. Reason is that it is still connected to a 3G network which draws some power to maintain a good reception. Anything not in sleep mode will use some battery.
To conserve battery life as much, just keep it in the charger overnight. It will not harm the battery as when the phone is fully charged, the charging stops.
I normally keep my phone in my charger when I'm home, but when I go out somewhere I unplug it.
