My iphone 3G is draining off battery very fast.Wi Fi and other appliations are swithed off.Phone getting really warm just like that.Battery drains off in half day or less even in stand by mode.

My iphone 3GS battery is draining off in 4 to 5 hours even in stand by condition.
Tried with all the applications and Wi Fi off.
Phone is getting warm just like that!!
It was working fine in the last week!!
Any solution?

There is no reason that a brand new phone should be having problems. I would say return it for a new one because it's less then a week old or return it. It's unacceptable. I have been having software issues with my iPhone 3GS too. I feel that Apple did a half done job on the software and really failed to bring new features to their third gen. iPhone.

  • My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

    What more can i do? It´s still dosent work the way i should..

    Hello Igor,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone were heating up and losing battery life quickly.  There are a few articles I found that might help with what you are experiencing on your iPhone. 
    The first thing I recommend is quitting open applications.  You can find an article with the steps to that here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    If you are still experiencing the same issues on the iPhone after quitting all the apps that are currently open, follow the steps below:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

    Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
    If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

  • MBP draining the battery very fast.

    My MBP 2011 is running out of battery very fast. I tried turning the Wireless off but still the same issue. This has been happening only for a few days now. Any thoughts why??

    Many users see Apple's "up to 7 hours" claim and figure they should be getting 7 hours no matter what. Nothing could be farther from the truth. How long your machine runs on a full charge depends very heavily on what applications are in use, what web sites are being browsed, and what settings are in effect on the machine. To get 7 hours, you must have all energy-saving settings optimized and be doing almost nothing.
    To maximize battery life in actual, real-life usage:
    If you have a 15" or 17" MBP, use gfxCardStatus to restrict your machine to using its integrated graphics instead of the discrete GPU.
    Keep your screen backlight turned down as far as you can stand.
    Turn off keyboard backlighting.
    Disconnect external drives, iPods, iPads, iPhones and all other bus-powered peripherals when running on battery power.
    Turn off Bluetooth and wifi whenever you aren't using them.
    Avoid web sites that have any Flash content, including advertisements.
    Avoid streaming any video from the web.
    Don't play any 3D games -- not even those that will run on integrated graphics.
    Quit all applications that aren't in active use.
    Close all web browser windows and tabs that aren't in active use.
    If you take all these steps, your battery will probably last around six hours. Of course you'll be quite limited in what you can do, but that's what it takes to maximize battery life.

    iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

    Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
    My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
    It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
    It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
    Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
    Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • When I sync my photos to iPhoto from my iPhone 4S it like saves about 200 on my phone. I really don't like that because they're like really old and stay the same... Can you take that setting off? Or just make it you most recent pictures instead?

    it had to do with Maverick/Aperture not supporting the same date formats as before in Smart Albums when I upgraded.
    Smart albums based on dates have always been problematic, if you use smart settings that require a date string to be entered. How the date string will be interpreted, will depend on your settings in the System Preferences > Language&Text > Advanced > Dates formats and the "Region".
    It is much safer to use "Calendar" rules in Aperture instead of "Date" rules with date-strings. Calendar rules will remain valid, if the region settings are changed in the System preferences.

  • I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • TS3376 The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap? I'm confused ...

    The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap.... I'm confused ...

    Any thoughts on this , I'm worried that someone has cloned my device Id  and is phishing , or would there be just a major glitch in the GPS ? I have turned off the location app and turned it back on to see if it was a glitch still comes up to the same location about 100 miles way to a place I have never been.  Help !

    I think that you have turned on VoiceOver. To turn it off, enter settings, general, accessibility and turn off VoiceOver.
