My newly acquired Iphone5 drains battery so fast

My Iphone5 battery drains so fast.Phone acquired 7days ago from a reputable mobile network here at PI . I've called their attention 3days ago but they said they will escalate the matter to Apple Company and Apple will email me back with their comment about my concern. No response yet as of today. Is there anybody here with same experience as mine? I don't know whom to address to solve this "unusual battery drain" issue, since the mobile network company that provided the unit didn't want to take the responsibility. For me, it should be the mobile network responsibility since it's them where i had the contract then they will be the one to discuss issues with Apple. It's only a less than week old phone that battery drains so fast. We have a high regards with Apple products, this is unlikely. they should replace the unit if it's not working properly. What about the warranty they are talking about? What is that for?

This is not exclusive of the iPhone. All fancy, ultrathin smartphones have the same characteristic. There's simply no room for a large enough battery. So you carry a charger with you ( guess that's why they made the mini-brick so small), be it the one that came with it, a solar charger, what have you.
For instance, I saw this iPhone 5 battery extender at a shop recently: why carry one battery when you can carry 2? And with a case, to boot! (Price is in Mexican Pesos, btw...)

Iphone 5 shuts down and drains battery very fast

I haven´t got any waranty left.
What more can i do? It´s still dosent work the way i should..

Hello Igor,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I would be concerned too if my iPhone were heating up and losing battery life quickly. There are a few articles I found that might help with what you are experiencing on your iPhone.
The first thing I recommend is quitting open applications. You can find an article with the steps to that here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
If you are still experiencing the same issues on the iPhone after quitting all the apps that are currently open, follow the steps below:
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.

I hope this helps!

Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

Safari in ios 7.1 drains battery very fast are you aware of this problem

Today when I use safari browser for this message the battery drains so fast but if I use uc browser it is not draining the battery so fast what is the problem in safari

Do a clean installation. This OTA update is just a little patch compared to the 1.X gb update, there must be something. It is convinient, but there is nothing better than a clean installation. It is a pain because you have to back up your files and delete everything, but it is the only way to have good battery life. I was being lazy until I decided to do it and now my iphone 5 running ios 7.1 has better battery life than before, it was also getting very hot.

Why does my iPod drain battery so fast :(

I purchased an iPod Touch 4G 8GB in white and everything seems to work fine until recently, when I started to notice that the battery dies too quickly. I have all the settings to minimum (push notifications, brightness, bluetooth off, etc.) . what do i do please help someone

How fast is "so fast?"
How much total operating time do you get from full charge to automatic shutdown? (Ignore any low battery alerts that may appear.)

Does anyone else think that the new update 5.1.1 drains battery life faster than 5.1?

I charged my phone to 100% last night and unpluged it last night before going to bed. 10 hours later, when I got up, my battery had went down all the way to 68% and with no apps running in the background... All while my iPhone's currently running on IOS 5.1.1. I never had this problem with IOS 5.1, when the battery would only drop to around 97% overnight.
Anyone else having this problem?

With Phone, Messages, and Setting apps active and
Celllular data enabled, my AT&T 64 gig, 4S drops about 4-5%
overnight. Which is about what it was with 5.1.
So, I personally have seen no change in battery performance
and when using the phone I haven't seen any difference either.

My iPhone 5 is taking a lot of time to shift to 3G once I turn on the 3G button in cellular data settings please help. Once on 3G it drains battery very fast

My iPhone 5 is facing problem with shifting to 3G once I select the turn on 3G button.
It either takes a lot of time to change to 3G from 2g or sometimes doesn't change to 3G and I am not able to access the 3G speed.
Need help as it is getting very frustrating as I just upgraded to the latest 6.1 OS and its already facing bugs.

Thanks Chris for your advice. I have done the restoration from both the device and computer as a new device but it doesn't help. Even I have restored my device to the factory settings with standard apps in it without installing any other additional apps, the phone heats up & I have to recharge at least 3 times per day. This is abnormal to me.

Heating Up & Draining battery fast on iPhone 5s after iOS 7.1 update

Hi,
I updated my iPhone 5s 64GB to iOS 7.1 & it's heating up and draining battery so fast not to mention when I charge it , it takes longer time to charge!
I didn't have this issue before on the previous version. I tried restoring my iPhone two times & also rebooting my iPhone five times, but nothing works!
I've looked in other complaints and some of them suggested to switch off background app refresh and locations!
I didn't have this issue before and I won't turn them off because if the problem because of it then I should experience the same problem on the previous version and why would I turn it off? So what's the purpose of the phone?
My wife, my sister, my brother & my mom they got an iPhone 5 and they don't experience this problem except me!
My iPad Air and my wife iPad Mini 2( Retina Display) and there is no problem with the iOS 7.1 .
I've looked in other websites and found that there are other people experiencing the same problem. Apple should fix this problem ASAP!
Is there anyone experiencing the same problem and what did he/she do to fix it incase he/she fixed it !

I don't have any issues with my 5S on 7.1
Have you actually taken your phone to the Apple store and have them look at it?
Even if you don't want to turn off background app refresh, you should turn it off and see what the results are.
also you said you restored twice, did you restore as NEW?

HT4623 I updated ios6.1.2 on my ipad2 and it is draining my battery very fast. How do I go back to 6.1.1 ios

I Updatedios6.1.2 on my ipad2. It is draining battery very fast. How do I fix it ? Can I go back to old version of ios6.1.1 if yes how?

Honestly this is the final nail in the coffin. Mine too has terrible battery life since the 6.1.2 update.
What the **** has happened apple. .? You have totally ruined iOS 6 its been a shambles since day one!
I have tried every suggestion so far and it's just the same.
But that's it now. My ipad is goin up on ebay and I'm looking at other tablets. I haven't had one issue with my nexus 4 since I went from iPhone 4 to that. Infant the updates have made that better not worse!!

Yoga 2 Pro Draining Battery Fast in Sleep Mode

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro with i7 processor. It works great and normal battery life is about 4-5 hours. But with a fully charged battery, i can close the lid at night triggering sleep mode, and wake up to an almost dead battery.
Why is this happening? It's really dissapointing and I'm going to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm on the latest BIOS with all current updates. I am not using Hibernate mode.
Closing the lid shoud not cause battery to continue to drain at normal usage rates.
I'm hoping it's the WINDOWS 8 software but I've tried all the settings I can find.

the OP said battery was draining overnight because y2p was not going into sleep mode. then op changed some settings and, as i understand it, now his y2p does not drain battery overnight because he pushes power button and it goes into hibernate mode before closing lid.
I would like to raise the issue of the difference between hibernate and sleep mode. I too find that if i put my y2p (and my mbp-bootcamp) into hibernate mode then my battery does not drain overnight. however, both my laptops drain the battery overnight in sleep mode... anyone have clear understanding of this? i've look at many articles on the web, but haven't found any that specifically indicate how fast sleep mode should drain batteries. I think my gf's mba-OSx also drains overnight in sleep mode and OSx doesn't even have a hibernate option (correct me if i'm wrong)...

I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with 3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
May seek help from your advise on above case.
Thank you
Best regards,
Adrian

Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

Why is my ipod touch battery drain out so fast

My ipod touch is 4g 8gb and I had it for two years, it is also ios 6.1.6 . I bought my ipod in 2013 and it was working great, but later on in the second year it wasn't. Every time it was fully charge and I take it out of the charger in one second or five sec the battery level would move very fast and then shut down and say it is low in battery. I can't use my ipod without plugging it in my charger or else it would shut down in like 5 sec when I am on it. I always close open apps and I tried resetting my ipod settings but nothing work. I don't know if it was the soft ware update to ios 6.1.6 that caused the battery to drain out so fast, but I don't know what is causing this problem.

As Skydiver said, if only the battery is bad
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your batter for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement battery costa about $15

MY NEW MACBOOK AIR IS HEATING UP AND ITS BATTERY IS DRAINING OUT REALLY FAST

MY NEW MACBOOK AIR IS HEATING UP AND ITS BATTERY IS DRAINING OUT REALLY FAST. WHAT TO DO? I BOUGHT IT JUST 5 DAYS AGO.

If you are within the 14 day purchase period you can exchange your MBP for a replacement. If not you can have it checked out at the Apple store genius bar.
CPU intensive applications will place stress on the CPU/GPU which will create heat and speed up the fans. That is normal. If you will, download from the Internet iStat pro and install it. When your MBP gets hot, post an image such as this from mine:
Also open Activity Monitor and set to show 'All Processes' and '%CPU' to display values from high to low. Post that as well like this:
From this information we may be able to tell if there are any issues or not.
Ciao.

Why is the battery draining 10 percent faster with iOS 7?, Why is the battery draining 10 percent faster with iOS 7?

Since I installed iOS 7 the battery drains 10 percent faster than before. How do I fix this? And is there someway to turn off the feature that makes the background wallpaper moves since it makes me sick and nacious. Feeling that iOS 7 is a flop. First time since I've gotten a Apple product that I have to ask how things work and for the first time I am displeased with their operative system.
This made me buy a Samsung phone yesterday instead of the new iPhone. I don't want this iOS 7. It *****!

Not sure what "nacious" means, but you can turn off the movement wallpaper/icons in the settings: General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > On
The iOS 7 includes many nifty features like the Control Center for instance.
Download the manual for iPad with iOS 7 here:
