My Lenovo S890 battery suddenly drains in minutes

Just last night I realized that my Lenovo s890 has been shut off due to battery drain from full charge to 0 in minutes...So what I did is to recharge it again and to my amazement, in under 30 minutes it has fully recharged, but when I unplugged it from the charger there's the battery notification display rapidly counting down...I have checked online for general topics on this matter and tried all the suggested tips and solutions but to no avail...My unit is still under 1 year from date of purchase...please help...

I'm surprised and at the same time disappointed that nobody had offered any input to sorts of troubleshooting to somehow give a semblance of solution to my unit"s problem, or perhaps this is a first type of a problem of its kind thus, no one could come up with any clear solution...Anyway, I have done some tinkering while waiting for replies, and I believe I have solved my own problem, and decided to share with you guys for reference if ever you encounter this same problem:
I consulted years-old forums about android phones quick-battery loss problem and picked out potential solutions there such as:
1. Not using the Facebook app since its using lots of battery juice by posting notifications which come minute after minute; and instead just use the FB in the built-in browsers which consume very little battery juice...
2. Tried the full battery drain then recharge 10 times, and after 4th recharging, there already is a significant normalization of my battery life, On this 4th recharge, I got full battery by 7am. After 16 hours, its only down to 66%, and that's with a considerable amount of Wi-Fi connectivity.
3. I also suspected a particular screenshot app as a culprit for the sudden rapid battery drain, as if this app has caused my Lenovo's battery draining behavior to go haywire. Upon uninstalling the app, the draining behavior of my battery gradully returns to normal...
4. When this rapid battery draining happened, I had the combinations of Lenovo Battery Saver, NQ Power Booster, and Green Power Free apps which I all used to monitor and keep my battery life at check...then after the "incident" I stopped using the said apps and replaced them eith Super Battery Saver and Juice Defender which were effective when I still have my Lenovo A90, at first there was a semblance of normalization in my battery life but with this screenshot app[which I also uninstalled with the 3 powersaving apps, then re-installed with this 2 replacement battery saving apps] the battery draining was still fast, which continued even after the second uninstalling of the screenshot app. What I did is to uninstall Juice Defender and Super Battery Saver and replace it with Lenovo Battery Saver and Green Power Free but to no avail...Next move: replaced the Lenovo Battery Saver and Green Power Free with Juice Defender and NQ Power Booster, and upon the said 4th recharging the return to normal battery draining behavior...
The full-drain then recharge 10 times is still on and I'm still monitoring my unit's battery draining behavior...I will be posting updates...

IPhone 4s battery suddenly drained and won't hold a charge

This afternoon the battery on my iPhone 4s suddenly began to show that my battery was drained, then shut off completely and won't charge. I've tried holding down the home button for longer than a minute and I've tried holding down the home button and the power button at the same time but it still won't turn on. I've also tried leaving the phone to charge without touching it. This is my second replacement phone (which means it's my third iPhone 4s) and I only got it in October. It's hard to believe that it's the battery when it's relatively new, but I know that's a possibility. Anyone have any suggestions of what else I should try before I go into the Apple store yet again for a phone issue?

Ok, thanks for that info. Well I know this probably isn't what your going to want to hear, not that it's necassarily bad advice. I would suggest taking your phone into your nearest Apple Store, make an appointment with the Genius Bar first (it will just make things go smoother). The overheating/dying battery thing is a known problem. They'll either send your phone into get fixed, or you'll get a new phone. Just make sure to do a backup (in iTunes) first, as that way you'll have the most recent info to sync to should they replace your phone.
You can also call 1(800)MY-IPHONE. see if they have any ideas, but I think you'll find they'll reccomend the same thing.

Lenovo S890 Battery

Hi,
My mom got the Lenovo S890 smartphone about a month ago and didn't face any problems at all. Just recently, the battery started draining drastically. It drained 90% with the phone pretty much inactive for a day. When the battery reaches about 20% it couldn't make any calls or recieve/send messages.
Any help on this issue is much appreciated. Thanks.

Iphone 5 battery suddening draining when not in use

Had my iphone 5 for about 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life. But literally out of no where the battery started draining super fast. Dropping 15% in 30 minutes when not in used. Here's the deal...nothing has changed ie locations, email, icloud etc. And quite honestly what is the freaking point of having those things if it drains the battery at unreasonable speeds. So I completely frustrated with Apple for at least not saying "we understand theres and issue and we are working on it." I will never switch cuz I'm an idiot Apple diehard but there have been so many bugs of late it's just frustrating. Also at the same time of the fast drain when I swipe to delete a text the delete button dissapears within one second. Both issues came on at the same time. I'm trying reseting the battery, restoring, unchecking notifications and a bunch of other features which is so stupid... whats the point of having a smart phone if you can't use the features? So I am going to demand a new phone and I know the Apple Genius guys who are so far from genius its pathetic are going to say nothing is wrong with the phone haha, just like the did with the super slow WiFi connections I get...they were completely unaware that there was a problem with iphones and Wifi cuz of course at the Apple Store the Wifi flies when they test it there but of course once you go back to your home or business the Wifi is back to super slow. Wow the things we put up with. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

MBP 15" Battery Suddenly Draining Fast.

Hi.
So my MBP 15" has always had a decent battery, the usual lengths based on average usage.
Today it suddenly started discharging really fast. 10% in 30 minutes when doing nothing but web browsing over wifi with screen at half brightness. It went down 78% this afternoon with just web browsing, a couple of youtube videos and a little bit of music, normally this would not make much of a dent.
(Note, it has gone down 3% just writing this message)
Activity monitor is showing no rogue processes running and spotlight hasn't been indexing.
The Machine is a 15" 2011 MBP 2.0Ghz Core i7, 4GB RAM, High Res display, 720rpm HDD. Running OSX Lion 10.7.2. I'm sure that is more info than you need, but just in case.

Activity Monitor won't show a rogue processes unless you change its "Show" window from the default of "My Processes" to "All Processes" as in this example:
Have you done that?
Do you have the Windows emulator "Parallels" installed. There is an issue with it that can cause the Dock to use 100 percent of the processor cycles. Parallels does not have to be runing for this to happen; the culprit is apparently one of that programs background processes. It can be fixed with a patch provided by the developer here:

Are you running anti-virus or internet security software? The expensive commercial versions can really drag down performance.

N70 battery suddenly drains in one day

I got my N70 on March 23 2006 (9 months ago). I haven't had the slightest problem with it until now!
All of a sudden it started to drain the battery in just a few hours after being fully charged.
my F/W version is 3.0546.2.3 18-11-05 RM-84
I bought a new NOKIA authentic battery, checked my charger with no results whatsoever. The most amazing part is that after I removed the new drained battery and put the old drained battery in, I got a full battery indication without recharging it!?!?! Only to show it is drained after just 7 hours...
I am of course going to the nokia service centre but I can't understand what kind of a problem this one is. Does the battery drain faster or something is wrong with the phone's indicator?
Any thoughts are very welcome!

I would second the firmware update - though depending on your network & how you bought your phone, that may not be available to you.
I would still suggest your nearest Nokia Service Centre though, ask them to take a look at it - it could be a hardware fault somewhere... something shorting etc.
Definitely ask if a firmware update's available though.
What network are you on? And did you buy your phone sim-free or through the network?

Lenovo U410 Battery Sudden Drop to 0%

Hi guys n girls,
I just got Lenovo U410 Windows 8 in February 2013. This afternoon when i was using the laptop in power saver mode, I was able to use an hour from 60% to 48%. After checking the battery percentage when it was at 48%, 5 minutes later the low battery warning showed up saying the laptop has 6% left, then it shut down itself.
Following are the situations:
I seldom use it and I left it for 1 week plus, and two days ago I used it for 15 minutes, and then I took it out n used it today.
I used it in power saver mode.
I was running the windows update.
Steam was on for updating.
I was running open office.
Is this normal ? Does this happen to others ? IS there a way to solve this ?
Thanks
Solved!

Battery suddenly draining fast, phone warm/hot

I've had the phone since December and never had an issue with battery life. It normally lasts all day with no interim charge and I use it on and off all day for Facebook, Yahoomail, texting. Starting this morning, the battery drained to nothing in less than 5 hours and I barely used it. No calls, a little bit of Facebook and maybe one email. I don't have it on push, WiFi is off. I turned it off and on, backed everything up but it's still happening. I have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow but short of restoring it, why is this happening now? I usually charge it overnight and sometimes do an interim charge around 5pm on the way home from work.

Try a phone Reset... press the home and sleep buttons for 5-15 secs until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. You won't lose any data or settings.

Was your phone jailbroken?

The sync icon is constantly on-screen and battery is draining really quickly.

The sync icon is constantly on-screen and my battery is draining really quickly. I can stop it by re-starting the iPhone, but is this a known problem? The sync and iCloud seem to be working properly, but I can see the battery drop by about 1% every minute.
Sync is taking place over wireless, but even if I sync using the cable, the icon remains on-screen even when iTunes tells me that the sync is complete.

Yes, iOS4, latest and a 3GS.
So, with the home button double-tap, those two apps aren't showing in the recents list?
Nope, not showing: http://d.pr/CQnR

Did that as well, still the problem remains.
I don't know if I should really bother but I just find it weird and I think it has a slight impact on the battery time.

HT1688 My iPhone 4s battery got drained while playing games, and now it won't open even if im charging. what can i do?.

My phone's battery got drained while playing games and now it wont open if i connect it to my charger,?.what can i do? my phone was given to me as a gift from the a relative in the US and im from the Philippines. How can i fix it? Do i need to bring it to any apple center to have it replaced? or is there a quick fix to this problem?...

Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

Genuine Lenovo Replacement Battery Does Not Charge

After reading the number of people on this forum who experienced the same problem I faced (my T61p 9 cell battery went from fine to dead overnight), I took the advice of the contributors and purchased a new, genuine Lenovo replacement battery from a seller on e-bay. I compared the new battery to my original battery and here's the test results for each of the 2 batteries;

After charging the replacement battery overnight, the battery gauge never went above showing 24% charged. I unplugged the AC adapter and it went from 24% to its current level of 5% in about 15 minutes. After plugging the AC adapter back into the computer, the battery will not charge.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is hard to be sure without seeing it, but best guess is that the battery charging circuitry on the motherboard has died. If you still have remaing warranty, now is the time to use it.

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.

1% battery decrease every 5 minutes

Is it normal for my new iPhone 4 to loose 1% battery charge every 5 minutes of surfing via wi-fi?

YEs Lawrence that is the case but it should not be happen when you are just letting the phone sit with nothing running in the background and screen brightness only half ways and many features off that is not how the phone is tested or set up .. you pretty much have to keep location settings off otherwise it drains even fast .. i can prove this because in the case logs i see location log file that shows that something is constantly being taken from the phone even when in standby and using the memory at a high level which contributes to the reduction in battery life.. you can stop sugar coating a massive issue with a vast majority of users ...

Ipod Touch Battery is Drained even with the Ipod Turned off? and how long the batery goes on Stant Mode?

Hy ;D I bought an Ipod touch 4G 3 mouth ago , and recently the i noticed that the battery is drained even off .... is that normal? I turn him off( with the red bar) and put out side the bed , when i Wake up tha batery is about 80% ... (no Wi-Fi on)
And How long the ipod battery goes with the stant mode ?
Thanks alot for any one

I did a test on mine.
My 4th generation model running 4.3.1 last 10 days on and in sleep mode.
At the end of 10 days I got the 20% low battery warning.
I would try a RESET on yours.
Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
It will reset and restart itself in a few minutes.
See if that helps.
