My iPhone 4s's battery dying with battery still left?

I've been noticing recently, that my iPhone 4s keeps dying before it has 15% left. It doesn't even come up with any warning that the battery has a certain amount left, it just turns off unexpectedly (and when I try to turn it on, it comes up with the red battery thing). I could be doing anything (even taking pictures) and it suddenly just dies. When I put the charger in, it turns itself back on and today it said it had 29% of battery left and charging. The battery may be out of sync because I haven't charged it for a few days and it stayed at 40-29% (though I only used the stopwatch for the past few days which may explain why the battery hadn't gone down much).
I cannot take it to get someone to look at it because- a) I bought it off eBay so someone else owned it before me b) the warranty has ran out already (I checked online on the apple warranty checker thing).
I have dropped it twice in the past 7 days, but I don't drop the phone often and I have a protective flip case which seems to stop it getting more scratches (it already has a small crack and loads of scratches from the previous owner, though they never mentioned anything about them- didn't even mention anything about water damage so I doubt there was any water damage to it).
If anybody could help, I would be really grateful

Hello!
I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
Happy Searching!
Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

Phone Dying With Battery Left

Hello, lately my phone has been dying while I still have a battery percentage in the range of 10-19%. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or know what is going on?

Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

My battery died then it still shows radio off even its full charged , pls help!

My battery died then i charged it and still the phone is radio off and the battery is full, and just shows the home page and i cant go to the menu or do anything ??!!
cant even connect to the pc
thanks in advance,

Then you've got a bricked dead device.
You can try again to try to wipe and reload the operating system if you want. You will need to use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
And if any of that doesn't work, I'd return to say it's a moisture problem. I've seen it all too often. IF it is moisture and you continue to use the device, you're just damaging it further.

Iphone 4 turns off randomly with battery remaining

Hi ,
My iphone 4 has been switching off randomly even when battery is 100% and wont switch back on unless connected to a power source.
This behavior is more prominent when i connect to 3G or when i turn on or turn off the flight mode.
I have already changed my battery and also restore my phone to factory settings with latest ios update but still its not working as before.
I do not remember dropping my phone or it getting in water.

Hello altzero,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below which provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues like the one that you’ve described, where your iPhone 4 is restarting or powering off intermittently.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
So long,

My iphone 4s keeps dying with 30% charge left on it. now it will not turn on on at all?, my iphone 4s keeps dying with 30% charge left on it. now it will not turn on at all?

my iphone 4s could not hold a charge....at 30% and now it has turned off and will not turn on again??

Hey sewen,
Thanks for the question. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

I bought a iphone 4 32gb verizon from apple store 4-7-11 had problem receaver exchanged 12-11 next one died no battery power works with cord dead without so 4-6-12 made apointment apple store emeryville ca they said leap year too late out of warrenty,

i bought a iphone 4 32gb verizon from apple store 4-7-11 3:00pm, had problem with receaver no sound could not hear person i called exchanged 12-11 exchanged iphone 4 32gb verizon died no battery power works with cord dead without so 4-6-12 made next available apointment apple store bay st. emeryville ca for 4-7-12 1:15pm
they said leap year added extra day so too late out of warrenty, sorry but can sell you new one i called apple said same , a company that big should take care of customers the origanel receipt should of said under date of purchess warrnty to end date following year,

That's strange, because no where in the iPhone's limited warranty does it state "365 days", but it does state 1 year. I think the only way they could get out of that is because of the battery, which is not covered by the warranty. HOWEVER, it is stated on AT&T's website that claims are handled from 31-365 days, which would explain why the Apple people acted as such. I know you have Verizon, but since it is (essentially) the same device, it's under the same warranty.

Many people have had stories about issues happening as soon as their warranty expires, with products in general.
I'd just consider upgrading, and selling your old one.

Hello Edward
Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Why is my iphone 5 battery dying even with phone turned off ?

Why is my iphone 5 battery dying even with phone turned off ? Even when my phone is fully charged and I turn it off when I turn it back on the battery is drained. Why ?

Completely drained when turning the iPhone on after being off?
All lithium-ion batteries lose some charge when the computer or device is powered off.
If the battery is entirely depleted after the iPhone is powered off with a fully charged battery at the time, something is wrong - unless powered off for a number of weeks or months.

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

My iPhone 5 battery died and will no longer turn on. What do I do?

Just got my new iPhone 5 two days ago. My battery died and I tried to charge it for the first time but nothing happens. It won't charge via USB or the wall plug. The only thing that happens is the picture of the phone with the arrow pointing to the battery comes on indicating that the phone needs to be plugged in. What do I do?

For how long did you try to charge the phone? If you've tried charging for hours with nothing happening, I would assume there is a fault with either the Lightning cable or the phone itself (possibly a battery fault) since you get the same whether you connect to the PC or external charger. If you can, make a Genius Bar appointment to have all aspects checked...either that or return to where you purchased the phone and have them check it out and replace it under warranty.
EDIT: Something to try is to verify that the lightning port on the phone (and the cable) is free of any dust/lint/gunk/whatever. Try blowing it out or use a soft brush to disloge/remove any foreign matter that could be stuck in the port.

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 issues with Battery consistency

Hello
I'm currently having issues with my iPhone 5 and it's battery. I have noticed that since the update to iOS 7 my phone will say it has eg. 15%, 20% left of my battery but will then turn off as if there is no battery left. Also sometimes it says that 1% is left but it lasts a couple of hours.
I'm finding that the battery percentage on the screen of my iPhone does not seem to reflect the amount of battery life actually left.
Has anyone else had this issue and could you please advise how it can be fixed? Should I take it back to the apple store? My phone is less than a year old.
Thank you

reset your device
Note: no data will be lost.
If the issue isn't resolved, let the device completely discharge. Let the battery die. Subsequently, plug it back in and charge it up to 100%. This process is known as calibration.
