Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using?

Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using? So in 2 hours, 24 minutes usage and 15 hours, 17 minutes in standby mode, the battery became 68%...

sounds plausable
also you can't really 100% trust it's batt% batteries are an analog technology the only thing the iphone can judge how much batt is left is by measuing amp amount the batt is producing and then over time estimating how long before it's zore
but anyway Its not wise to not put a battery for charge before bed when it's 12%
if your reason is you think it's good for batteries to be empty before charging then you believe in a myth and in the process damaging the battery in your ios device

N8 Sudden Decrease In Battery Life

I have had my N8 for years and have loved it every minute. Through ^3, Anna, and Belle i've always had 2 days of battery life with average use (power saving off). Last week however, my N8 suddenly had battery issues. There were no app, firmware, or setting changes preceding. So it's not anything obvious draining it.
When I charged the phone overnight (wall charger), I'd wake up in the morning and see Nokia Battery Monitor showing that the phone stopped charging prior to 100%. For example it would state: "Charged xHr yMins ago to 95%" or "98%". Occasionally it would also show up at 100%.
With this also came a drastic sudden drop in battery life. I would see approximatley 14-15h of life, and now I'm down to about 9-10. When looking at NBM stats, it would say "Background" used >100% of battery life at times. Under background would be things like Messaging, Music Player, and Notes, which is completely wrong. See below:
Here's what ive tried so far:
1) Use AppStop to kill all background apps, no effect.
2) 7370 hard reset to clear everything and go to factory settings. Wiped phone, mass, and card. No effect. Used AppStop to get to bare minimums. No effect.
3) Reinstalled Belle via Suite. No effect.
4) Let battery drain until it shut off, then used wall charger while phone stayed off overnight. Nope
5) Let battery drain down til shut off, then used USB charging. Nothing. Repeated this hoping it would "recalibrate" battery levels. Nothing.
Nokia Energy Profiler Stats:
Ran this for about 20 mins to get some stats:
1) Idle draw with screen on is about 0.20-0.30W, 15% CPU consumption. Occasional spike up to 30%.
2) Idle with screen off is barely 0.02W, 3-4% CPU consuption. Occasional spike.
3) Based on the power consumption, it still estimates that I should get 40+ hours of battery life on a full charge.
Battery lasting less than a day? I feel like an iPhone user. I get that I could always turn 3G off or power saving on and stretch it a bit more, but that's not a fix, it's just a Band-Aid over a bigger issue. Anybody have ideas? Should I buy a new battery and replace it?

Updates: So I bought a brand new genuine BL-4D hoping it would fix the problem. Nope, didn't happen...though the battery seems to now charge to 100%. EIther way this leads me to believe it's not a battery problem. Unless there's an issue with the charging circuit, this I"m back to a consumption problem.
So I tried another belle refresh and a "Factory Settings" restore from the menu, didn't help. Not sure what to do now, as Battery Monitor doesn't really point me to anything that's killing the battery. So I decided to do more research with Energy Profiler and ran it for approx. 50 mins to see what the consumption deal is.
I exported the data as a .csv and cleaned up the data. I've attached the power and current graphs. In both graphs you see that there's very low consumption immediately after starting the measurement and locking the phone. Afterwards, there are two distinct idle consumption values, approx 42mA (.16W) and 130mA (.49W).
An average 42mA power draw would give me approx 28.5h battery life (1200mAh/42mA=28.57h). However an average power draw of 130mA would result in a 9.2h battery life. The actual average of all my Current data points is approx 99.9mA, giving me 12h of battery life, which is about what I'm seeing at the moment.
I know my idle consumption is lower with 3G off and even lower with power saving on, but I haven't gotten the chance to record these measurements yet.
I'm still not sure what's causing a high idle power consumption, any ideas?

IPod Touch 5th gen suddenly has terrible battery life after updating to ios 8.0.2!

I updated to ios 8.0.2 around 2 weeks ago and bam! the next day I wake up and use my ipod (I usually leave it on during the night, and battery is still good) and it's down to 50%, then to 20% later! And now the battery is terrible! it goes down much faster than before! I have bluetooth and all the battery killer stuff off before, so my battery was really good...and now it's horrible!
Have you guys experienced this? Any solutions? Is this some bug?

Any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life after upgrading to iOS 7.1?

Hello
I am curious to know if any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life compared to iOS 7.x.x.? That will be great to know before I upgrade and give up my JB .
Thanks!

Apparently when the issue affects you personally it's impossible to accept that millions and millions of users are not experiencing the same problems or accept that the issue is with your device specifically.
Really, that's quite an assertion. I'm sure you can prove those stats; but my apologies, I forgot that Apple produces flawless product.
I can only report MY SYMPTOMS: iPhone 4S 32M on VZW, upgrade to iOS 7.0 at the end of February (when security flaw was announced), after which my battery life is about 1/2 what it used to be before the upgrade.
Also, as reported above, when I upgraded to iOS 7.0 my phone would lock (in phone mode); had uncommanded reboots; and severely degraded battery life. Two days ago, upgraded to iOS 7.1. Most screen "touch" issues appear resolved; and uncommanded reboots resolved.
Battery life / duration still poor; still charging every 4-5 hours.
Previously with normal use (with no location services) could run a full day, about 8 hours before recharge. Now, same situations, I'm having to recharge after 4-5 hours. Again, no new apps, all apps are current; no different usage.
What's the resolving fix?

IPhone 4S' iOS6 uses more battery juice or something else?

Hello.
My client's couple years old iPhone 4S (Verizon carrier)'s battery life has been less with the latest iOS 6.x version than iOS 5.x (upgraded iOS a few weeks ago). I re(called/member) that people had this problem when iOS 6 first came out. Is this problem/issue still not fixed as of today? Or is it just a coincident that its battery is old and probably needs to be replaced?
Thank you in advance.

Within the last hour, I took a lot of photo(graph)s (a couple of panoramas) of the local outdoors with no flashes and with HDR to experiment. I also did some managements to delete bad shots and used its MMS a few times. The old iPhone had about 100% of battery power, and now it is 43% after taking about 50 shots!
The camera DOES use a lot of power, and it uses it as long as the camera app is open, not just when you snap a picture. So the battery usage taking pictures is not a good measure of the battery capacity. If you take it to an Apple store they can test the battery.
Ah. What is a good way to test its battery usage without going to an Apple store which is not local?

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half
Mail is 44% of the battery - I get about 300 emails through MSexchange and 25 through hotmail and .25 from cogeco.
Home & Lock Screen is 19%
Phone is 14%
Calendar 11%
Is there a bug in mail or is it just too much volume?

I see the same thing after upgrading to ios8 on my iphone 4S.
In my case, Mail is 76% of my activity. Disabling my mail accounts allows me to go back to my once a day charging routine. Otherwise, my battery runs down from 100% to 9% in 3.5 hours. I have two mail accounts. One exchange based the other is gmail.

HT4759 Does I Cloud use more battery life

Does I Cloud use more battery life?

I suspect that if you turn on the backlight to look at the artwork, the backlight uses battery juice. I doubt the physical presence or absence of album art uses any more juice.
BTW, I don't believe the album art uses a "**** of a lot of MB". It probably only adds a few KB to the song file since it is so small.

Since few days iPhone 4 suddenly uses huge amount of data and battery, how to find out which App is guilty?

Hi Community,
since Friday my iPhone 4 startet using huge amounts of mobile data and rapidly wastes battery lifetime (50% in 3 hous!) It also gets quite warm even when I don't use it at all.
I suspect an app does this, because in flight mode battery is ok.
How do I find out which app is to blame without having to uninstall all apps?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Nymphenburg

You need to look into using the SQL*Loader utility:

My Iphone 4S has far less battery life since before I downloaded IOS 7.1, Is there a bug in this IOS that wears the battery down faster?

Since I downloaded IOS 7.1 my phone (4S) battery won't last more than eight hours and takes three or four hours to charge. There must be a bug in this IOS that affects battery life.

@Email using up battery life

Had Droid Charge since Aug 2011, no problems until few weeks ago. My battery life went from charging once a day to needing a charge every 4 hours. About this same time, @Email would mysteriously lose my password and lock-me out of my corporate account that had been working perfectly since August. I deleted the corporate account, re-attached the account, changed it from auto-push to poll every 15 minutes, still had battery problems. Verizon sent me a new phone 1 week ago. Thinking the @Email with my corporate account was the root of my problems, I'm now using K-9 for all of my email - love it with seemingly no problems. I do need all of my contacts & calendar synced with my corporate account so I synced only my contacts & calendar of my corporate account and NOT any email or any other accounts. I check the battery use and find that @Email is killing my battery - sitting at the 2nd highest application with 20% of my battery use. Meanwhile K-9 is sitting at 2nd to last at only 2% of my battery use. I changed the calendar & contacts on my corporate account to sync once a day, still no change. How can @Email be using so much of my battery, if it is only syncing contacts & calendar once a day?!? I've checked with IT at my office, they say it is a device issue. I've bump charged my phone. I'm running out of ideas. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

IPhone 4 hot and low battery life?

Why does my I phone 4 have such a small battery life? And it is running hot

Hello Bmay121,
Thank you for providing the details about the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I found a couple of resources that may help address this issue.
First, I recommend following these steps if your iPhone has a short battery life:
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.
You can find the full article here:

You can also find useful information about the iPhone's operating temperatures in this article:When troubleshooting temperature, please refer to the following article:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside. If the interior temperature of the device exceeds the normal operating range, the device will protect its internal components by attempting to regulate its temperature. If this occurs, you may notice the following:
The device stops charging.
The display dims or goes black.
If the temperature continues to be a concern, you can isolate the issue by restoring your iPhone as new:
