Lion battery drain fix in newest update - help???

Hi,
I was reading earlier that Apple's lastest Lion update included a fix for the battery drain issue, so I installed the update.
The MacBook was plugged in at the time so I let it charge up to 100%.
It was fully charged for over half an hour before I unplugged it.
It immediately dropped to 97%. I plugged it in again put after another half hour it still says 97%.
When I change the icon to show in Time format it says (Charged) - I assume this means fully charged - and when I pull the plug it first says (6:16) and after less than a second it drops to (5:26).
Is this happening to anybody else?
Can anyone help?
Cheers.

Please be aware that you will notice a drop in battery life for a period of time after running a repair however this does tend to settle after a week or so.

Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

Your device might keep syncing your Emails, Contacts and some other applications.
Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On, connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert. You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved. Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.

hi, i was trying to look for the "ENERGY MANAGER" but i couldn't find it. also i searched it by typing but it's not showing, do you thing it has been deleted when the 8.1 was installed?

This setting is designed to help conserve the health of your battery if you tend to use your laptop while plugged in. It's not good for the battery to be held at 100% for long periods of time, so instead this setting stops chargins when the battery reaches 60% to prevent battery damage.

Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Battery drain after 2.2 update (Exchange Active Sync users or those who use a calendar on the phone)

A lot of folks are having "issues" with battery life after the over the air (OTA) update and there has been much speculation as to the cause. My frustrattion level increased with each new post I read that did not reveal a resolution. The back and forth banter about FTC complaints (that was an interesting escape from the battery problem but not very helpful), new apps running from startup (I don't like 'em either), Linux really working better with all these programs running (don't really care as long as the battery level isn't drained after an hour of just sitting on the counter) just made matters worse.
I would like to share with you my experience and hope that it helps some of you who have taken the time to read my post. First, let me say that the cause is not due the the "bloatware" applications that were installed during the OTA update.
Secondly, the primary purpose of my handheld is for voice calls but running close behind is my need for immediate email, contacts and calendar information (which is configured through Exchange Active Sync). If you are not using your phone with Active Sync or updating a remote calendar like Google), you can stop reading this post.
I noticed that the yin/yang (sync) icon at the top of my screen kept popping up more than usual after the update. Looking through the items I have set to sync (Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync), I reviewed all the things I have set and disabled the sync settings for the things I did not want. After disabling the "Backup Assistant", "Google", "News", "Stocks" and "Weather", I thought for sure the issue would be resolved. Not yet. When those adjustments didn't change the frequency of the sync, I decided to look at the Exchange Active Sync and to my surprise, the culprit was revealed - the calendar was stuck in a sync loop (syncing over and over). I disabled the "Sync Calendar" feature and the phone stopped it's maddening attempt to refresh the calendar.
I let the phone cool off and thought that I could get by with manually toggling the option to sync the calendar but I couldn't accept that was the only way this thing would work. I removed the Exchange Active Sync account and created a new one. After the new account was verified, it attempted to sync mail, contacts and calendar but this time, there was a error that occured during the calendar sync. Instead of repeatedly attempting to re-sync, an error message that stated "Client/Server conversion error". At this point, the calendar sync loop was no longer a problem (wasnt' draining the battery) but now my calendar wouldn't sync at all.
To fix it, I cleared the data in the Calendar applications (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All [tab at the top]). Scroll down the list and open each of the Calendar items and click the "Clear Data" button.
(Credit goes to "Brenny" at AndroidForums.com for the post that explains how to clear the Calendar Data)
It seems that adjustments made to events before the update were kept in the phones local storage. After the update, the calendar data in the phone's cache was not matching my remote calendar and appears to have been the cause for my battery drain. After performing these steps, everything is back to normal. Good luck!

Super frustrating, I know. Do you use Exchange Active Sync?
If so, you might be having the same issue that I've explained. Since making the adjustments (clearing the data from the Active Sync components like mail, contacts and calendar), my battery life is back to normal.
Try clearing the data (see first post in this thread) and let me know what happens.

Severe battery drain after last verizon update

After the last update for my phone I have been experiencing around 10% battery drain an hour with moderate to low usage. I have already done 2 factory resets and formatting my SD card. I have disabled GPS, WIFI, Global access, Google now and everything else that i can find that could cause a drain. I have even gone and disabled/uninstalled all apps that I don't use. That didn't fix anything. I started to suspect that my battery was bad. Ordered a new from Samsung and charged it all night on there spare battery charger before using it. It actually seems to be draining even faster, after 45 minutes I was already at 88%. During that period I sent about a dozen texts and checked email and the weather. So I don't believe its the battery. Any suggestions to help resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

likegod04, thank for posting. Are you still having battery issues? If so, then next option will be to replace the device. How long have you had it? Is there any physical or water damaged done to the phone?^SP

Is the Mountain Lion battery issue fixed - question???

Hello,
I've been reading that the latest update to Mountain Lion has fixed the battery drain.
Has anybody here got this release on a Late 2008 MacBook?
How is it running? Has the battery issue been fixed or improved?
Cheers

You can look here to see if your battery simply needs replacing:
Go to About This Mac (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Then click "More Info", then "System Report". Click the "Power" row on the left. You should see major headers like "Model Information", "Charge Information".
Look under "Health Information" and find "Cycle Count". How big is that number? If it is around 1000 or more, it may well be time to replace the battery.

Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!

Got my iphone on launch day with ATT , been battling this battery drain for awhile! my phone from a full charge wouldnt last till 4pm with basic email reading, some facebook only.
as i was reading through the other thread with 190 replies!! i tried all the following
Restarting from New instead backup - didn't help
Turn off notification lte , all the other goodies the phone come with (come on whats the point?) - didnt help
someone mentioned that they saw a signal on their router blinking constantly while every other device was turned off.
i looked into my network log and what do you know... my iphone 5 constantly is trying to upload or sync to the icloud account NON STOP every 5 minute or so!!
THE FIX*
>General and turn off everything on your icloud account!!! i left my contacts on.
its been two days now and my battery is a day night diffierence!!
my current setting everything is on except bluetooth!
i hope this post will help some other to enjoy the iphone 5 at the best!

I can only relate my experience, but so far my iPhone 5 has shown the best battery life of all the previous phones. The only thing I've done is to let it drain down to about 15%, shut everything down and then restart the phone with the charger and let it charge overnight. This may be old wive's tale/voodoo but it doesn't hurt anything so I always do it with a new phone. My wifi is always on but I don't use bluetooth. Anyway with the same usage as my other iPhones including a little more since it is a new phone to me my battery life has been great.
I didn't get the phone on the first day it was released, it came a week later. In the meantime I was reading that very long thread about battery life and was concerned I might see a problem. So I was keeping an eye on this and have had no problems. There may be individual phones with such an issue but it doesn't seem to be significant, at least we haven't seen reports in the news the way we have about the Maps app!

Duplicated battery drain problems...need help testing.

I purchased an 80g classic about two weeks ago. The last 3 mornings I woke to find the battery completely dead. Last night I listened to a song or 2 and then pressed the stop button to turn it off. After reading other post I decided to put my ear to the back of the iPod and sure enough the hard drive was throttling at what sounded like full speed. This got the best of me so I spent about an hour messing around and this is what was noticed.
When launching music from Cover Flow, the hard drive throttles fast the whole time while music is playing causing the battery to drain in a short time. If you launch your music from albums or by artist you will hear the hard drive throttle for about 6 to 8 seconds then go silent. This is the way it should operate.
Next problem was the battery draining overnight while turned off. This was found simply by launching again from Cover Flow. Launch an album then turn off after song starts. You will notice that the hard drive continues to run very fast until the battery is completely drained. If you go back into menus before shutting down it will turn off properly. Again this does not occur when launching by albums or artists.
Cover flow = battery drain and this should have been found buy Apple before releasing to the public. It would be nice if someone from Apple would comment.
I have version 1.0.2 loaded and can’t go back to test version 1.0.1. What I am trying to figure out is this hardware or software. My guess is software but if I can’t get a good feeling about this soon the iPod is getting returned.
Can anyone help in testing this out, launch from Cover Flow and put your ear to the back of your iPod…listen for about 15 seconds, does the hard drive continue to turn fast? When turning off in Cover Flow, does the hard drive stay on?
Please post results and software version, thanks.

I have a Classic 160. With 1.0.1 I had few issues. I was mostly happy, but nervous about all the issues I read in these postings. Only problems I noticed with 1.0.1 were Cover Flow was a bit slow and high rez photos would not show up in manual mode. (But there's no excuse for that is there?) Syncing and battery life were fine. Then I installed 1.0.2. Cover flow works nice and smooth, but I too woke up to a completely drained battery even though I shut the unit down. With 1.0.1 battery seemed to last forever. Now the hard drive stays on after shutting off unit. I found the only way to turn it off is by rebooting the Classic - holding down menu and centre button. For $399 Canadian dollars I am very very disgusted with Apple. Why should a consumer have to constantly check the internet for discussions and updates? And the biggest joke of all is the Apple website offers NO ADVICE, but lets their consumers do all the problem solving for them. Amazing attitude. What's wrong with being upfront and honest that the new iPods have issues? What about the person who can't surf the web all the time for answers? Their Apple iPod purchase becomes a paperweight. My 2 gig keychain MP3 player worked better than this junk. I wish I never bought the thing. For a company like Apple to let the consumer figure out the issues is just not right. Where is firmware 1.0.3????

Samsung GS3 Battery Drain after 4.3 update

Greetings,
If you aren't already aware, there is a serious flaw in the most recent update to the Samsung Galaxy S3. The 4.3 update causes a serious issue with battery drain, screen responsiveness and some apps not functioning properly. If you search for this issue you’ll find it’s not carrier specific. This update was originally delayed due to battery drain and other issues yet here we are with a December roll out and the same issues. I called Verizon today and they are aware of this issue but have not received a plethora of calls (yet) according to the rep I spoke to.
Bottom line, if you have not installed the update, DO NOT. Wait until a fix has been implemented. I’m lucky if I get 10 hours of light use when I could go 24 hours prior to the update. If I make a few phone calls and use any apps I am forced to charge my phone within a few hours. This is by far the worst issue I’ve ever had with this phone. Up until now everything has been quite solid. If you are having this issue please call Verizon so this can be escalated. I’m hoping a fix will be pushed out in the next couple of months or sooner. My Galaxy S3 is not rooted as I really never found a huge need to do so. Hopefully this issue will not push me in that direction. All I want is a phone that works as expected. You can try using the Deep Sleep Battery Saver app which has a free version for the time being.
May the force be with you, always…..

I noticed in December after an update that my phone was having significant battery drain issues. I also had issues with the phone suddenly shutting off when the battery wasn't even all the way ran down, but would not turn on until it was plugged in again.
Now today I received another update. This one I had no choice but to receive. The battery is once again WORSE. I hate the new look on this update. Features I used that were standard on the phone (such as T9 word) have disappeared and forced me to use an app to replace it (again, HATE that). I realize the updates are essential to have the latest technology but I DO NOT understand why features disappear. This is so irritating I'm about to opt out of even having a smartphone all together. I got this phone when it was on the market 2 weeks. Its "old" and my contract isnt even near up! Its ridiculous at best.

IPhone 4s battery drain een after software update

Why is my battery draining very quickly even after I installed the new software upgrade of 6.1.2?

that's a common complaint. You will have to wait until a fix/update is released by Apple.

IOS 5.0.1 Battery Drain Fix

I need to say at the outset that I didn't have an issue with battery drain UNTIL I did the update.
I did the update using Software Update on the phone. It measured 55 megs. Update went fine but noticed within the hour that the battery was draining quickly. I tried restarting the phone and the battery percentage went UP from 95 - 97 %. Strange.
Overnight I noticed a drop of 7%. I tried to retrieve the full update from iTunes but was unable to because it already had the update. So I called Apple and was told to force the phone into Recovery Mode by holding the Home button while plugging the phone into the computer. This forces the update.
If you back up prior to this you can just restore the phone from that backup and save yourself some time .
Now, 3 1/2 hours later, with light usage, the percentage hasn't gone down at all.
If you've done the update, and continue to have these issues, you might want to try this as a solution. It is Apple sanctioned as their first tier solution.

About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

IPhone 4S 5.1.1 Battery drain, fixed for my case

I just got a 4S, to replaced my missing iphone 4.
The firware was 5.1, so I upgraded over the air (using the phone alone) to 5.1.1
Then I restored by phone using the back up in iTune.
But I realised my latest backup was in iCloud (I did not backup all apps in iCloud), so I restored with iCloud again, after goto Reset Settings two times.
Starting to use the phone, experiencing very fast battery drain, 1% drop every 2-3 minutes.
at one time I notice the battery was hot and battery drain real fast. I found the reason:
the iCould continue to restore but stuck. Just goto Settings - iCould -Storage & Backup, at the bottom you see iCloud Restoring (or something) then phone..
Just cancel or stop it. Because in my case, all the apss I needed already restored.
Next day I still experiencing very fast battery drain, 1% drop every 2-3 minutes. I tried all the Location Service - System Services - Setting Time Zone (it is on all time (purple)), but actually its not the culpit, my friends has this on and all the time has a purple arrow, no battery drain issue.
Also tried removing email accounts, in my case, it still does not resolve it.
I decided to have a clean upgrade to 5.1.1 (over 890MB) instead of the phone over the air upgrade (50MB+), so I connect the iphone 4S to iTune , has it synced and backup.
Click the restore, and iTune download from apple and wipe/upgrade to 5.1.1 again. Restore it from itune after that (not set as NEW phone),
TA TA!!
All the problem gone.
Hope this help, if you have similar case like me.

It is me again, just to explain that the thing that sems to lock up the computer in step 7 of 7 is "Syncing GEnious Data to iPHone". I don't know if that helps, but any thoughts appreciated.

IPad battery draining quickly - tried everything, please help!?

Ive noticed recently that my iPad battery is rapidly draining. I've even noticed a 20% decrease just overnight while locked, which has NEVER happened. I've googled and research and tried everything possible. So does anyone have some options I might be missing?
Using 7.1.2, iPad 2.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Battery drain after IOS 6 update

I and my 3 family members and two fellow employees have all noticed that since upgrading to IOS 6 on our cellphones we have had the following issues;
1. Massive battery drain
2. Battery heat-up during recharge with the phone on but not being used.
3. Lost data
With the phone on and not being used - the charge level drops much faster. I used to go the whole day on one charge and recharge at 10 pm with 30 - 40% of the charge left. Since the IOS 6 upgrade I'm recharging at 4pm with a 10% charge remaining on the phone .
Also - recharging the phone while it is on (but not in use) causes noticible battery heat-up.
Again - this was not the case for any of the 6 of us prior to downloading IOS 6
My conclusion is that there are aspects of this new operating system that use a lot more battery juice than the previous IOS 5.1.1
This significantly increased demand on the battery is showing up as much less operating time and battery heat-up during recharging.
Anybody else experiencing these issues ?

Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
that went through everything.
At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
battery so it's looking good.
If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
My App's & Settings back.
... Then we will see if it has worked.
... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.
