My 4S battery life is very short. I have upgraded to the new software with no improvement. Any suggestions?
My iPhone 4s battery life is very short. I have done the most recent upgrade with no improvement. Any solutions on the way?
I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
Thanks for the help.
I'll post my findings/results.

Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem
First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot. -
ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much
My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

Battery Life is Very Short Recently
Hi, my MacBook Pro battery life has been really dying quickly in the past couple weeks. My MacBook Pro is new as of December, and has only gone through 107 cycles. I am only running Chrome and Microsoft Word and a couple of other applications (Mail and iCal) as occasionally needed. I have been using my computer for all of 20 minutes now, running just Chrome, and I have burned the battery down to 82% and it only has 2:13 left. I don't really know what is going on, and I like to think that I keep very good care of my computer. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I am currently running 10.8.3 with 4GB of RAM.
While it's normal for your battery to discharge faster when running certain applications. Having your screen set at the highest brightness settings also plays a role.
Try this - set your screen brigthness down to 50% - turn bluetooth off if you're not using it.
Google Chrome does use up your battery resources - try using firefox instead.
With all those apps you have running in the background - it is normal for your battery to discharge faster.
Open up activity monitor (have a look at my screenshot below) - under " All Processes " not my " My Processes " see what using 10% and above in your % CPU section - highlight it and hit quit process.
See if that improves your battery life.
107 Cycles is quite high for 4 month old Macbook Pro.
You can keep it plugged in when you're close to a power outlet - it will not damage/overcharge your battery if you keep it plugged in. -
I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?
It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
This will ensure you have no apps running...
I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet... -
New 15" 2.2 GHz is heating up very hot and battery life is very short
I just bought a new 15 in MBP and the thing heats up so hot I can't hold it on my lap and all I am doing is sufing the web and downloading apps for my iPad. I am using a 3G USB modem and with a full charge am only getting an hour and a half of battery life max! Is this normal? Or should I send this thing back to the store? Thanks for any info you can give me.
this happened to me a while back, even after replacing my battery. what might be happening is that there is a print job waiting in the que which could be hogging up a lot of CPU (why this happens is beyond me)
anyway, the way i fixed my issue was going into the activity monitor and sorting the processes by CPU load. if you see something taking up 95% of it, try and quit the process. my battery life jumped back up to 3 hours after that -
Battery life is very short on ipod touch ?
Hi,
First post on here so be gentle.
I have had my 4th gen Ipod touch for about 2 years now. I notice that even if I don't use it to play apps or listen to music the battery goes from fully charged to 20% left within 45 minutes.
Is this normal ?.
The battery just doesn't seem to have any life in it and I am just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal life expectancy or a fault ?.
CheersCould be that the battery is reaching the end of it usefull life. Try:

What are my options for increasing storage capacity besides purchasing more memory, or deleting existing content. The new software install used up much of my storage capacity and the message is driving me crazy. Any ideas?? Thanks!
There are two kinds of storage messages that appewr on iOS devices. Your question seems at odds with your description so there might be some confusion here.
If the storage refers to not enough for an icloud back up then you need to purchase more icloud space or turn off iCloud backup. You can backup using iTunes on your computer with paying for additional iCloud storage.
if the storage refers to that on your iOS device as in there is not enough storage to update, then you have two options and neither option involves adding more storage since the amount of storage on an iOS devoce is fixed. One option is to delete stuff from your device to free up more space. The second option is to complete the update while your devoce is connected to your computer running the latest version of iTunes. When you do that the update is downloaded to your computer and extracted there so it doesn't require as much free space on your iOS device. -

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S
Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S,
anyone else noticing the slow speed of data on this phone?Yes, I measure my slow data on Sprint in kpbs, not Mpbs. Like standard is download maybe 250kpbs, upload 100kpbs (that's 0.25 Mbps and 0.1 Mbps). On the same tower my buddy who has an AT&T iPhone 4 shows 2.5Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload (that's 2500kbps and 1500kpbs), a LOT faster. Sprint has not been much help.

I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?
Installation of the new OSX is very heavy hdd load, in addition spotlight reindexes all the files on your computer - it may be a few hours. If in the future will be the same macbook hot, you should contact your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider.
May be required to clean notebook cooling system.
You can also install any monitoring utility sensors to your mac such as Hardware Monitor and look at the value of the temperature sensors.
