Is this good battery life for an iPhone 4?
I have two iPhone 4's. (That's iPhone 4, not 4s! ) I was wondering how well their battery life was holding up.
Over several days of use, I found the following. (These are different usage patterns, after a full charge of the battery.)
iPhone 4 #1
After 8 hours, the battery was at 34%.
Another time, after 5 1/2 hours, 56%.
Yet another, after 10 1/2 hours, 14%.
IPhone 4 #2
After 7 hours, the battery was at 45%.
Another time after a full charge, usage was 5 hours and battery 55%.
I used both phones similarly in the 5 usage periods.
Would this be the best way to determine which iPhone's battery is in better shape? (They seem similar.)
Or, is there an app that would provide the equivalent of what the Mac's System Profiler does--telling mAH remaining on the battery and a verbal adjective describing the battery's condition?haleyfromtoledo wrote:
Is this normal?
I just charged my phone to a full 100%.
Now it is at 96%.
With usage: 13minutes.
And standby: 33 minutes.
The battery drains about 1% for every 4 minutes of use, so that seems normal. But it's too small a sample to be meaningful. You need to go through several discharge cycles and record the results to determine if you are within spec. Alternatively, stop being obsessive about battery life and just enjoy the phone. -
Is this good or bad in terms of battery life?
So I have a question, my usage is 1 hour, 11 minutes; standby is 13 hours, 29 minutes. This is since the last full charge on my iphone4s and now the battery is at 68%. Is this good or bad, and the thing is when I used certain apps like words with friends even for 2-3mins I actually noticed the battery life going down 2%, and I know that because I have the option for showing the battery percentage switched to on. It's frustating that I'm doing the simplest task like going through settings and the battery is draining so quickly. Does anyone have and suggestions about increasing the battery life?
The short battery life is an issue of iOS5 that should be fixed with the next updates. ( also hope that Apple would fix it fast)

What is up with this mysterious battery??
So, I recently asked about a battery which is not charging.... it's plugged in, shows the charging symbol on the screen. I reset the SMC (or whatever) , and after two times, it worked and the battery charged like normal. But now, it's doing the same thing, and after reseting that thing at least 4 or 5 times over the last two days, still the battery is not getting charged. And this time there is a very, very faint green light on the charger. The light on the charger also is staying on even when it is unplugged from the computer.
Strangely enough, the battery was at 14%. I unplugged it for about 15 seconds to look at the charger, and it went up to 16%. As soon as I plugged it back in, it went to 15%.
It's really confusing.... the battery is in good quality (except that it's a little bit swollen). Any suggestions how to get it charging again? Apple store is not an option right now, at least for the next month.
Actually, something bizarre just happened. In the time it took me to write this just now, all of a sudden the amber light goes on, and it shows that it is charging again like normal. Anyone have any idea WHAT ON EARTH is wrong with this battery???
Here's the info (taken before it started to mysteriously charge again) :

Also, thanks for that tip. I don't know anything about computers, I only started going on here when I had this battery problem and don't live near a store. -
Any suggestions on what the following problem could be and how to resolve it?
First here are my battery specs at the moment:

The thing is that we have recently had to replace the AC adapter because our son put the magsafe end in his mouth and we think it may have started frying the contacts (it smelled like burning electronics). We went to the apple store and told them our story and sure enough the AC adapter was fried. So we bought a new one and it seemed to be working fine, charged the battery fully, but now it no longer is charging. The AC adapter is working because we plugged it into my newer MacBook pro and it was doing what it was designed to do (power to the computer and charging battery). One thing I noticed was that on the newer computer the LED light on the magsafe turns on (green on the new MBP as it's fully charged) but ont he MBP that we're having the problem with it doesn't turn on (well in fact, it's more like one a blue moon and for no apparent reason the LED light will be green for a short period and then go off, but while it is green it isn't charging).
Tried resetting the SMC, but no luck, still not charging and the LED light isn't on. The LED looks very faint green, could barely make out that it is on, but this very, very faint green seems to always be on.
Anyways, hope this info is enough. We will be taking it tot the apple store, but first wanted to get our experience out there in case anyone is having the same problem.
CheersThe odyssey continues...
I just noticed that my wife hadn't updated to the latest Mac OSX update (10.5.8) so I did it for her and this is what I found afterwards. The battery is now in Good conditions and the it is charging. The only problem was that the LED light wasn't turning on.

While writing ths the unplugged the magsafe and plugged it back in and it appeared initially that the battery wasn't going to charge, but then suddenly the LED lights came on and it turned organge (as it should be when battery still needs recharging) so all seems good....oh wait, just noticed that the LED light turned off again (by off I mean a very dim green....don't know if dim green light means something). I'll continue to keep an eye on it in the meantime so hopefully all this info is jogging someone's mind on a solution.

iPad revers back to a home screen from another page being used, IE Facebook Good battery and wifi signal. Sometimes several times in a couple of minutes. Could there be an problem with internal hardware
Hi there
My wife and I have been dealing with a very similar issue with our iPhone 5ss, all battery drain issues started after the upgrade to ios 7.03. We have performed numerous restores and have had 3 trips to the Genius Bar. Finally they gave us new iPhones (yesterday). We had hoped this would do the trick but we have the same problem on the new phones.
This morning I restored one and didn't sign into iCloud. Battery drain is now gone. And when I deleted iCloud from my wife's phone it too went back to normal. So I believe the culprit is iCloud and I am now testing various setups with iCloud to determine which app/setting is causing the problem.
Hope this helps with your phones. I will post again if I can narrow it down to something specific.
Good luck! -
What to do for getting a good battery backup for E...
I had brought the E6 after a convincing conversation at the Nokia Priority Partner shop and the executive there told me that E6 is a smartphone and also gives a good battery backup. Only on this condition I bought this new phone but to my misfortune this does not have a good battery backup. Everyday morning I need to charge my battery or the phone is dead. This is very much annoying as well as disappointing. I even suffered software issues with my E6. Thrice I needed to get its software reinstalled and even now having issues with the same. The priority centre only tells each time that you get the software reinstalled and your E6 will work fine. But I'm surprised that E6 only borrows my time to get it checked on the go.
No doubt this phone is one of the best which Nokia has ever brought, but, still if it could help me sort this issue then I would rank E6 to be the best in its class.Which country did you buy your phone in?
There are many posts dealing with this issue and steps to be taken to increase battery life.
Some important ones are:
1. Switch off 3G if you do not need it.
2. Reduce the mail retrieval frequency if you have configured email accounts.
3. Switch off automatic WiFi scanning.
4. Reduce number of homescreens.
5. Close any background application that you do not need.
6. Switch to power saving mode when you do not actively use the phone for longer periods. -
T61p - Good battery never charges off AC
I have a T61p that functions wonderfully when plugged in via AC, or on my (powered) docking station. However, the battery never charges (literally NEVER).
1. I have confirmed it is a good battery (have charged said battery on another T61)
2. Laptop will use the battery if there is any charge on it.
3. When I look at the status of my power (icon on tray) while plugged in to the AC power cord OR docking station, I see a status that says 'plugged in, not charging'.
4. No matter how long I leave the laptop plugged in to charge, it never charges.
5. If I look in the Power Manager at the battery details I see:
Status: no activity
Current: 0.00 A
I have sent the laptop in to Lenovo twice now to have this repared, each time stating the above details to the Help person for my ticket. The motherboard has been replaced, they've given me (another) new battery, hardware diagnostics performed, and updated BIOS/embedded controller. And I still see the above issue w/ the battery NOT charging.
One more note - I am running Windows Server 2008.
Anyone have any clue on this? Would be greatly appreciated!What charging mode did you set in the Thinkvantage Power Manager, when does set your charging to start at? While everything been changed, lenovo never formatted your hdd and reinstall the OS. So this really points to a software problem, if all else fails, you should reinstall the your OS by restoring to the factory condition.

I got an iphone today....and I love it!!!!!!!!
I turned it on and have used it today and the battery is almost gone....should I wait until the battery is completely drained before I plug it into the wall socket? Also, is it good for the battery and the phone in general to leave it plugged into the wall all night long, like I did with my old cell phone?
What are good battery practices in general for the iphone? I want to be able to use it without it dying out on me everyday, especially when I need to call someone. I don't know how to use it much....are there application or web things that I could turn off while they are not in use in order to conserve battery power? (How do I turn off edge? The E is constantly on the top of the screen...if I could turn it off, wouldn't that conserve power?)
Any other conserving of power practices would be appreciated!
Thank you!!!Apple put together a great page on the iPhone battery, check out the link below

hope this helps -
13" white Macbook will not power on with known good battery
Macbook will not attempt to power on with a known good battery that shows full charge. Also, when Magsafe plugged in, there is no indication (no green or amber light) it is connected. This charger does work with another Macbook (same kind).
I have checked the Magsafe/port for any dust & debris, and have followed the tips listed in the FAQ's for a macbook with no power. As I said, the battery & charger both work in another Macbook.
Suggestions please!Hi Stephanie. It could be a logic board issue or simply the power button at this point (let's hope its the latter). Can you give us more info on how this happened? Did the computer suddenly shut down or was it stored and unused for quite some time?
Without any power, and with you making sure both the battery and and charger is working, then I would suggest bringing it in to the Apple Store. -
I've just recently ordered my MacBook-- and though I haven't received it yet, I am still curious about good battery practice. If anything, I really want mine to last, and typically if asking just anybody off the street you'll get everything from "put your battery in the freezer" to "take out your battery, when not in use".
Any thoughts? Should I charge it fully, then let it run out before I recharge? Should I use the adapter whenever I have the chance, regardless of the battery charge?
I'm also curious whether I have to charge the battery before first use out of the box-- I looked through manual online, and I didn't see anything on that topic.intheam wrote:

It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate or for a few minutes to use in another room. You should calibrate every two months or so to keep the battery fully functioning. If you use your MacBook infrequently, it’s best to re-calibrate the battery at least once a month.
It is best not to use your battery unless you need to. Some people have hurt their batteries by charging then discharging every time they use the MacBook. This will age a battery very fast and cause you to buy a battery sooner than you should have too. Don't discharge the battery just because you used it. Li-Ion batteries prefer small charges over big ones. Use it and then plug it in as soon as you can. The only time my Battery is ever fully discharged is when I'm doing a calibration.
The following links have good information about the MacBook and the care of it's battery.

No just plug in your power supply and have fun. It will charge whie your using it. If you follow my other tips you should get long life out of the battery. -
Ok so I am having issues with charging my iPad as well. So I took advice from this forum and yes, if you turn the brightness down my iPad charges. Thanks Apple I just went and spent money on a new charger I didn't need. Really you need to fix this issue.
Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help. -
8320 won't boot up, even with known good battery
Hi Guys, my first post, hope you can help me.
I've got an 8320 which died last night, initially suspected a dead battery so have changed it this morning for one that is known to be good, as its from my other phone where it shows fully charged.
With the known good battery in the suspected faulty phone I get a bettery symbol with a red line through it.
Is it worth trying to reinstall the software or is it a hardware issue ?
If its worth doing the software how do I go about it ?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.Welcome to the forums

I have thousands of photos on my Mac. If something happens to my Mac obviously, I don't want to lose the photos. I do Time Machine back ups to an external hard drive once a week. Is this good enough to make sure my pictures don't get lost?

Purchase a couple of these when they go on sale.
Start burning all the photos onto DVDs.
At least you'll have all your photos if your computer, time machine or any other backup you use goes bonkers.
