My new iPhone 4S loses battery life even when switched off?

Purchased a new iPhone just last week.
I drained the battery completely and then full cycle charged it. Disabled Siri, location, apps, notifications etc.
So far I have been very conservative with my iPhone making phone calls and texts only.
Just started to notice these past 3 days that i lose 2-3% of battery life even when my iPhone is switched off..
How is this even possible?
Any help or advice on how i can solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • HT4528 Battery Life My iphone 5 loses battery life rapidly when used. IE calls, and apps anyone else with this problem? Is the battery bad?

    My I phone battery dies very rapidly whenever phone is in use. It never did this before I am thinking the battery is bad. Does anyone else have or had this problem?
    Thanks,

    It started with the last update. I don't think it is just a battery change out problem since it will sometime run down to 1-3%.

  • Updated new iphone 4s and battery life is poor

    Since I upgraded my new iphone 4s the battery life has become really poor. As soon as its unplugged its lost life!
    Is this going to be fixed?

    Depending on the settings for your social media apps, your usage can very. If, for example, Facebook is checking the status to often, your battery is more likely to be drained. Same for mail and other push/fetch services.
    Sometimes it helps to delete the account and set it up again, there have been cases in which those apps got stuck trying to connect to their servers.
    If you restored the phone from the latest backup you made, did you reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for at least 10sec, until the Apple logo came back again?

  • I plugged my iphone in to my laptop to update it and the computer shut down right at the end. My phone now has the itunes symbol and an arrow asking me to plug my phone into itunes (I assume the laptop). It's frozen like that even when switched off

  • 97% Battery Life (Even When Plugged In), Have Had MacBook for 2 Days

    I've been experiencing a problem with my MacBook Core 2 Duo's battery life, and I have only owned if for 2 days. When I have it plugged it to the power adapter, it will charge only up to 97% instead of 100% (even if I turn it off and leave it for a few hours). Then when I turn it on and disconnect it from the power adapter, the 97% drops to 95% within a minute or two.
    Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to fix this problem, or advice on whether or not it is an issue that needs to be fixed?
    MacBook Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 1GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Basically brand new.

    that happen to me. i don´t know if you keep always plug in AC power to you MB?, but I do and my Batt never reach 100%. Please check http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm and you will find information about it. In brief, you MUST keep your batt charge between 20 and 80% to extend you battery life even amazing 500 cycles!!!, avoiding extreme charge and discharges (never 0%, never 100%) but also soft events.

  • New Iphone 4s bad battery life?

    I just got a new iphone about a week ago. Brand new, fresh out of the box. But I was noticing that the battery wasn't too great. It would lose 10-15% just by having it off in a locker for 6 hours a day. For each two minutes it is in use, I lose 2-3% depending on what app I'm using. I know it isn't that big of the deal, but my phone goes from 100% to 0% in a little over 2 hours of continuous use. My Ipad definently lasts lonegr than this, and the box claims the phone should last up to 8 hours of continuous use.

    Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer, at end when prompted, Set Up as New iPhone. See if the battery performance is better. If not, then make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • New iPhone 4s but battery life is bad

    Hey guys
    My old iphone 4s was 3 years old so the battery kinda sucked compared to how it was the day i bought it. All in all the iphone 4s was a phone i was quite satisfied with and seeing as i could sell my old iphone for 350 i just had to pay an additional 50 and i got a new 4s brand new at the apple store.
    I'm not a noob when it comes to iphone settings I  know what to do in order to save battery life but the battery life of my new iphone isn't better at all. A friend of mine has got the 4, about 6 months old but if you compare the usage it says enough.. First screenshot is taken from my friend's iphone, 62% left and used for 2.5 hours. If you look at mine i got 86 left but the usage is was only 43 minutes. I only use imessage, the fb app sometimes that's it really. This can't be normal right? This neww iphone is 2 days old, should i go back tothe apple store?
    Kind regards

  • My new Iphone 5c drops battery life by 20% in an hour without me touching it? I believe it is a bad battery has anyone else had this problem?

    I haven't touched my Iphone 5c for an hour besides a few texts and it as dropped its battery life by 20% I also took it off the charger (at three in the morning) at 90% and woke up to a 70% battery life. I got this phone yesterday and let it die and recharge like you are supposed too, I think it is a bad battery but I am wondering as anyone else had this problem before? I want to know if I should be taking this back or not? Also while charging last night the phone got very hot which is also very concerning.

  • IPhone battery discharges even when turned off since iOS 5.1.1

    Since updating to iOS 5.1.1 I have had battery problems, discharging at around 4% per hour even when not used. Turning off every concieveable service and reloaded iOS as a new device unfortunately has not solved the problem. I have resorted to leaving the phone plugged in all of the time and recently started to turn it off overnight. To my surprise, the phone continues to discharge when turned off! I couldn't find this problem when I searched (apologies if I didn't search hard enougth!)

    I have been waiting for months for the next iOS to see if it would rectify my battery drain problem but I continued to have the battery discharge problem after installing iOS6 .
    My Home button has been playing up with random no responses and random double clicks, so I replaced the home button hoping that may also address the battery drain issue - no joy.
    Then I had a look to see if I had added any Apps when the problem first appeared at the time of upgrading to iOS5.1.1. (You can view Apps by date in iTunes on the iPhone Apps tab.)
    It turns out that on about the same day as the iOS 5.1.1 update I also added the Lifesize ClearSea video conferencing App. Today I disabled the App in iTunes (unchecked it) and resynced the iPhone. I believe this removes the App from the phone whilst leaving it in my iTunes so I can add it back easily. For the first time in months my phone is now cold rather than luke warm.
    Superficially at least it seems that ClearSea has been running in the background, even when manually quitted and even when the iPhone was powered OFF! I will report back in a few days to confirm this was the culprit.
    Five months with a phone that barely lasts a day has been a real pain...

  • My ipod touch battery keeps losing power even when switched off

    Why? What can I do? Change the battery?

    I believe I have the information you're looking for, in return, please repond to the thread saying if it's useful or not.
    The iPod Touch can lose battery under several conditions:
    1. If the Touch is left in the USB cradle, disconnected, the wires can leech current, reducing charge.
    2. Heat can significantly reduce a battery's charge, so keep your unit away from the sunlight or other heat.
    3. Leaving your Touch with the wifi on will tax the battery, even if you're listening to tunes. Make sure the unit is completely disconnected and turned off.
    In short, make sure your Touch has wifi completely turned off, keep its cool, and disconnect the Touch from the USB cable or cradle.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4 s giving problems since installing OS 6, crashing and battery levels all over the place, even when switched off at night dropping from 88% to 2% overnight and some functions such as iCloud dont work consistently. Can I revert to OS 5?

    Sorry once you have upgraded you can't downgrade IOS.  This is not supported by Apple.
    Suggest you restore your iphone.

  • 3gs fast battery discharge even when powered off

    I have a 3gs (not jailbroken) which discharges the battery really quickly to the point where it cannot be recharged.  It discharges the battery to the point where it won't take a charge, even if fully powered off.  I have replaced the battery twice and upgraded to ios 5, setup as a new phone. Still nothing.  I am out of ideas, is there anyone who can assist please?
    Not under warranty
    Using latest version of itunes

    Any number of things could have gone wrong. Dirt or some conductive material could have fallen into the phone and be shorting something out. Any number of components could have been damaged in such a way as to cause a short.
    Apple offers a reasonably priced battery replacement program for iPhones. That would have been the best route to take. Since it's been opened, I doubt you'd be able to go that route now.
    It's also possible that the battery you got is NOT up to the specs it was supposedly rated for.

  • Zen Micro lose Power when Switched OFF??

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me. I fully charged my Zen Micro last night and then left it and just switch it on for the first time now (8 hours later), and the battery indicator shows 2 bars left?
    Seems like the Zen Micro loses power even when switched off!?!
    Can anyone confirm that this is the case and whether I can do anything to stop it from happening? Is this normal with Hard Dri've MP3 player or only with the Zen Micro?
    Thanks.

    <EDIT: (April st, 2005):<<FONT color=#330000>JazzMC has taken the initiati've and written a sort of FAQ and put together a website with all the information to date gathered in one place regarding this power drain of the Zen Micro while off (in standby). It's a great read for those who want more information about the subject and probably easier than wading through this thread.<FONT color=#330000>You can view the document by clicking here: <Zen Micro Power Loss<. <FONT color=#330000>Thanks JazzMC!
    Ditto here. I did do a disk cleanup last week and the micro seems to be holding it's charge longer now. It's still draining the battery while sitting idle though according to the bar indicator, but slower (go figure?). This is my only real issue with the Zen Micro as I love it otherwise!
    One wierd thing I noticed was I charged it full then left it sit for about 3 days (checking it off and on) then on day 3 it was at one bar. So I plugged it into my home sterio and turned it on to see how long it would play for. I was really surprised to see it last a few minutes shy of 9 hours...
    Could this be a battery calibration thing instead of it just loosing charge? Like the meter misreads the batteries actual charge over time instead of it loosing power?
    Donno it's wacky, please fix Creative!

    After the new update my ipad4 will not do a full recharge even when turned off overnight and the battery goes flat it 2 hours  it is driving me crazy as I had to stop all apps but still not helping but my iPhone 5 is great no troubles at all HELP

    Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

    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.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
