More battery usage with iCloud?

Got the iPhone 4 new in October 2010. It could just be a coincidence, but I need to ask this question to eliminate any possibles. Since joining iCloud my iPhone 4 seems to be losing battery life quicker than usual. I also find that there are many more menus and coinciding pages associated with iCloud on the phone. Been doing the iCloud thing for about 2-weeks and ever since my battery seems to be draining down quicker than before iCloud.
Has anyone been experienced anything similar? Just trying to eliminate possibles. Thanks for taking time to help.

To anyone out there looking with similar woes. Through a process of elimination, the culprit and 'hands down winner' to the enormous battery drain ended up being iCloud. I removed everything associated with or using the iCloud on my iPhone 4, and this evening here at 9:31 pm, I still show nearly 65% of the battery life; having disconected it from the charger this morning around 6:45 am.
Yesterday, I was forced to charge the phone before the end of the work day, it was showing red. That gave me roughly 5 to 6 hours with a full charge. Here it is 14 hours after coming off the charger and it has more than 50% life still to go.
Very surprised how much juice iCloud required on the iPhone. I won't use it on the iPhone, and probably will shut it down entirely since it makes no sense to have it only on one device; wouldn't be getting any usefulness from the program.
Hope this helps!

Tap the little claendar icon at the top left (next to the search icon) and see what calendars are set up in WeekCal. If none are enabled, then enable the one(s) you want to use.

Z10 - High CPU and Battery Usage with BBM

I recently updated my Z10 (UK and EE Carrier) to 10.2.1.3062 and every day or so I am getting very high CPU and Battery Usage with BBM running in the background.
I have never used BBM and have no active or past conversations or contacts.
This morning, it used around 60% battery in under 3 hours, with 95% of that time sat at 'idle' in my pocket.
Sometimes its after I have connected it to my car stereo (charging and streaming music via USB) on an Alpine CDA-117Ri, but I dont think thats a cause.

Battery usage with game apps

Do games apps drain the iPods battery much quicker than a normal app?

Yes, definitely it drains the battery much more quickly than regular apps like facebook; iDisk and others. It must be like the other poster mentioned due to intensive graphics and that causes the iPod processor to think and spin a lot..... Leaving your iPod out of charge.
To me it's very absurd the idea that apple is advertising the iPod touch like a gaming console and even smash talking that PSP and nintendo DS are very sketchy as game entertaiment console. Yeah, the iPod touch brought new boundaries to portable gaming console with the accelemerator but when it comes to battery life that is a downer. It mainly is bad for playing game unless you stuck on the wall charging the iPod. As a portable device with the gaming is a big no to me.... Anyways this is not part of the post question, maybe is to leave it for other day.
Cheers,

No more outlook reminders with iCloud?

I activated iCloud. It made the mess many of us experienced: "local data" wiped out, doubling entries, etc.
But there is a specific issue I can't understand: I define a new appointment/activity and set its reminder; whern I save it, Outlook says something like "Unable to set reminder, because the folder doesn't support reminders" (ore something like. I've the italian release).
So... no more reminders?

check ou the last item on this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4861?viewlocale=en_US
In my oppinin apple made a mess with reminders/alerts names and behavior. Things could be easier.
Anyway, apple regards the outlook message as a falase positive and states that oulook will still give us the alerts. I just installed iClound on outlook, so I don't know if that is true. Anyway, even if alerts are kept, two things are very annoying: 1) alerts are set to none by default when creating a caledar event in the icloud calendar from outlook (I used to use the 15min default on other calendars). This means that everytime I want a reminder for a calendar event, I have to remember to go and set it. 2) Having this idiotic message pop up everytime I create an event with a reminder will be a pain.
I'm going to try to stick to iCloud for now, but if this things start to annoy me too much, I'll just go back to using google calendar sync on all my PC's with outlook and google ical dav on all my apple devices and macs.
Hope Apple fixes this and improves icloud soon.

Getting more battery life with Mighty Mouse

Hi,
is there a way to make the Mighty Mouse read accurately the level of energy left in its batteries?? I have over 20 AA batteries of any kind (rechargeable or not, lithium or not, 1.2v or 1.5v, 2300 mah or else, etc.) and they all read "good-70%" when I test them with a simple battery tester. Still, the Mighty Mouse reads them very low, if not dead. What to do with that??
Thanks.

How interesting. I've been relying on the computer reading as valid. I guess I'll have to get a battery tester myself and check it. You might bring the batteries into a nearby Apple Store and show the techs there what's happening. If you do that, post again with whatever you hear. If I can get the same results, I'll bring the mouse and the batteries into an Apple Store and let them figure it out.

Battery drain with 2 Push accounts Mobile Me and Microsoft exchange:

One might ask why I need two. Well, I started with a Microsoft Exchange account,, and now am trying Mobile Me. For now they are both being pushed to me. Do I get extra drain from having 2 accounts? I wonder if I get twice the drainage with 2 instead of 1 account. I had done a restore from backup when I got my new 3GS,, and didn't notice too much drain, but thought I could do better, so I restored a fresh 3.0 firmware, without a backup,, funny thing is, that I thought I would enhance battery life. So far, it seems worse than my restore from backup . All that work, with little improvement to show for it

You are going to get more battery drain with the 2 push accounts. Try removing the Exchange account for one day and see what happens to the battery life.

How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?

How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?
Has the side affect of charging, where the battery's life gradually decreases overall with each charge, been fixed ?

Eric,
They did say 12-14 hours, but as is always the case with such estimates, they invariably quote the 'best possible scenario' and almost never mirror 'real world' conditions.
If, from a fully charged position, you simply switch on your nano, and set it to continuously play through a long set of songs, with EQ off, backlight off, modest volume (50%) don't touch it during playback, then you might just get somewhere near this figure - and if you don't then it's either not been conditioned properly or it's faulty.
If you use it like me, daily for a couple of hours, with 2 secs backlight and switch songs regularly, using fairly high volumes then 6-8 hours is more likely. It'll even drain when it's not in use, even in sleep mode, albeit very slowly. They also tend to drain more quickly before they've been through their first few charge cycles (the conditioning period).
Personally I haven't got a problem with this though I can understand why some people have. It's not very impressive in this respect. Apple should be able to come up with something much better - maybe they should talk to Sony

Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

HT204053 I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with icloud and Find my Iphone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. What do I do?

I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with iCloud and Find my iPhone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. How do I go about creating this account?

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this. It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID. If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account). If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.

Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices. iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac. Thoughts?

Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

Hi guys, need your help with iCloud notes on Mac 10.7.5; I've found this feature's more useful comparing with stickers, however can't pin notes to desktop or dock, "double click"on the note doesn't work with this version of software.
