My iPhone 3GS battery is draining much too quick I'm looking for solutions please help

How do you fix battery problem on an iPhone 3GS? Can I get a new battery?

Hi thanks for the tips but I have done most of them including deleting the multitasking bar daily. One of the problem I think is associated with the iCloud and the need to keep the wifi on pretty much at all time OR DO WE?
Not sure yet about iCloud and how to use it properly... Very little is said on how to integrate/sync my iPhone, iPad and my PC using iCloud.
Any advise on this would also be welcome.

  • My iPhone 3GS battery is running down too quickly

    In the last few days, my iPhone has started running down *very* quickly. I have been running iOS 6.1 for ages without any problems. Could this all of a sudden cause problems like this?
    I have disabled mobile data and 3GS and just left the clock, calendar and reminders running, but this has not helped. It was 100% charged when I went to sleep last night, and when I woke up this morning it was down to 20%.
    Can anyone advise me on a way to fix this please?

    Really... took me all of a minute to find http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802 which reveals:
    Battery life seems short
    Note: Charging with a FireWire-based power source is not supported, except on original iPhone.
    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.

  • My iPhone 5 battery is draining way too quickly :(.

    I left it in my purse in the morning with 97% and when I came back at 1 pm it was already in 27%. Is anybody having this problem?

    Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

    These are usually the features of a faulty battery. Restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better. If not, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no Coverage, still make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick (minutes time) battery diagnostic testing.

  • ITunes & iPhone 3GS are both locked up (trying to sync to OS4.3.3) - PLEASE HELP!

    I am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS with iTunes to update to the most current OS, but both are locked up.  What do I do?!?  Please help

    I am having the same problem. I tried to update my iPhone 3GS this morning and the update failed. Then the iPhone disappeared from iTunes and my computer won't recognize that it's plugged in. Also the phone's screen shows the don't-disconnect-because-I'm-updating icon and won't shut down when I hold down the power button. Help.

    Yes but as i told you i have 3g off operator is in manual mode ( vodafone es) and no wifi or other connetion are on....
    Update of the firmware?
    Thanks
    That is NOT what you said previously. You said: "I try to close all the app, close all tab of safari, roaming is off for the data" We are NOT psychic. Your original statement does NOT indicate that you have 3g off.
    If the phone is unable to lock onto the preferred  provider you set in manual mode, it will be constantly searching for the carrier signal. This will drastically reduce battery life. If you are out of range of the carrier you want to use, put the phone in airplane mode.

  • My iphone 3gs battery drains very fast

    my iphone 3gs battery drains very fast it won't last for whole day
    i just uses mail application and  facebook for some time
    can u tell why the problem is or need to change battery

    I'm having the same problem with my 3Gs.  In my case it is not the apps int he background or the brightness, or wifi or email push.  The folks at the apple stroe tell me that there is some software glitch that shows up every few months.
    I can only get rid of it by restoring my phone as a new device.  In which case I lose all of my contacts, settings and all data.  VERY frustrating. I had recived two new phones (before applecare ran out) and have done the resotre several times.  No one can tell me what is in that creates this probelm.  I've tried differenet chargers one by one in case they are the probelm.  one int he car, one in a kitchen outlet, one at my home computer (sync) and on at my office computer (non-sync). 
    Problem just showed up again randomly two days ago,  no new apps or hardware.  battery drains from full to 0 in two hours.
    Apple, please fix.

  • Iphone 4 battery sometimes drains fast -- problem with Mail app?

    My iphone 4 battery often drains too quickly, and I wonder if it has something to do with my Mail App.
    When my phone is not playing nice, it drains at least 20% overnight while on Standby, and from 100% to 30% in around 6 hours when I use it during the day. I found a fix (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11775150) that basically says to wipe your mail account and set it up again.
    This fix works, but only temporarily for me. I find that I have to keep resetting my mail every few days to get back to "normal battery" where it barely drains overnight. I only use one email account (gmail) -- could there be something going on there?
    Oh, and when my battery drains fast, nothing changes when I turn off WiFi, notifications, push, etc. I usually have my mail refresh hourly.
    Has anyone had this experience?

    how long does it take for Iphone 5 battery to drain? its stuck in recovery mode

    Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

  • My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour

    My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour, I took it in to an apple retail store at the end of 2010 and they told me it was fine but advised I restore and set up as a new iPhone which I did, it got better for about a month then went back to normal losing battery. I have no hardware coverage left and my specs are: iPhone 3GS 16gb  IOS 4.3.3 white. I have had it since December 2009.

    I'm afraid I don't. I don't know if the phone is still within warranty. I don't know which country you are in. I don't know what third party repair companies charge where you are.
    Hang on - I do know one thing: if your phone is still covered by warranty - it's free!
