My touch battery life

i have a itouch5 and i ahd it for a few months and it worked perfectly fine until recently i noticed that my battery life is dying faster. is something wrong with it, do i need to get my itouch checked up?

Can't hurt to get it checked.
User fixes you can look for are in hte notifications. Tons of them are defaulted to on with iOS. There is also automatic app updates and background app refresh. Those apps run a lot in the background and can effect your battery life.

IPOD Touch battery life is too short. Can I replace the battery?

My son's IPOD Touch has a battery life of about 30 minutes. It is a refurbished model and wondered if there was a way to upgrade the battery?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement caost about $10

I touch battery life

I recently updated my 3rd generation I touch to the iOS 5.0.1 and now the battery life is draining so quick. It shuts off with no warning, and I tried to restore the setting but that has not worked. Please help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That is a know issue. I have heard on the news today that Apple will release an update a few weeks. I leave my in airplane mode when not using wifi.

Zen Touch battery life after 1 year -

There are periodic questions on this forum from people concerned about the battery life of non-user-replaceable batteries on players such as the Touch and the Sleek. I have had my Touch for a year, and decided to conduct a test to see how much the battery life had decreased. I did 2 tests, one using WMA 64kbs and the other using MP3 CBR 28kbs.
Here are my results:
WMA 64: 25.5 hrs
MP3 28: 25 hrs.
Essentially, there has been no reduction from the rated battery life of 24 hrs. I didn't do a similar test when I first bought my Touch, so I don't know if the original battery life was even more than this, but this is impressi've either way.

For sure, and with all the players I think that use Lithium Ion batteries

My Ipod touch battery life depreciating, and it seems to coincide with my earphones no longer registering

Hello,
I have had a few iPod's over the last couple of years, and well I am starting to get bored of exchanging/purchasing a new one because of what seems like a reoccuring problem. My iPod's battery is dying... it no longer lasts a day even without use (I have taken off extra apps-I just have what came with my iPod on my phone, my bluetooth is disabled). This has happened to me before, I had reset my iPod. Reuploaded it from my back up as well as return it to manufaturers defaults and sync'd it as a brand new iPod and this has not helped. (Initially I thought maybe I had a corrupted file on there).
I had taken my iPod into the Genius Bar, told me to do the manufaturers reset, even had an ipod exchanged. I was told that doing mini charges would 'teach' the battery that it was empty before it truly was. So I stopped using a car charger, I now use my iPod and let it die before I charge it once again, or at least have it below the 20% battery life before I will plug it in. And yet the problem still persists. I know I have time to take it in and have it looked over, but I'm tired of the same issue.
This issue seems to come along with an issue with my earphones. I use the Skullcandy 50/50 ear buds that have been working on my iPod for months now. And yesterday I had been listening to my iPod in the car using the AUX port, have my iPod volume all the way up and my speakers down. Typically when I take out the AUX port cord and replace them with my earphones the iPod would change the volume level to what I was listening to last with earphones. But now it isn't doing that, and the controls for the pause, volume, skip/rewind no longer work.
The Apple staff have been very kind to me, but as a customer I am getting tired of having to deal with this. I am just at my wits ends as this would be my 3rd iPod... so I think that it's me causing this but what could I possibly be doing to create this?

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused Apple will experience it with a refurbished one since it should be within the one-year warranty.

2nd Generation iPod Touch Battery Life

I'm getting about 45 minutes of battery life when watching Youtube music videos on wifi. The battery recharges completely in about an hour via any usb port, or when using a Griffin remote charger. I had hoped for 4 or 5 hours of use. Is my battery life before recharge normal, or should I push Apple for a new battery before the warranty expires?

Video takes a lot a battery because CPU working constantly and WIFI too. The only way to save a little battery life is turning down brightness as much as you can stand. Mine is set below 50% brightness and I get about the same playing some games or constant surfing the net maybe 2 hours. You won't ever see close to 4 to 5 hours unless they come up with a better battery. If you search you may find some early models claiming higher battery times. I cannot concur but I do know that many have claimed that the 3.0 update seem to hurt battery life. That could be the case, but mine from the start even with the older 2.? OS was never any better. I do agree with some that running the battery until it shuts down and then charging it is better then charging when it recommends at 20%. I have also noticed that the battery meter is not that accurate. I can get a 20% warning and a couple minutes later its back to 30% .

IPod touch battery life

My new Ipod touch battery will only last 4-5 hours when playing music and simple games?? I turned the wireless off and it still only lasted 4-5 hours.
Any ideas would be appreciated
thanks

IF I'm correct, the complete drain followed by a complete charge will fix the problem. If I'm incorrect, your battery needs replacement. If your unit is still in warranty, there is no cost. If out of warranty, the charge is US$79. Your iPod, being new, is of course in warranty.
Good luck!

IPod Touch battery life after 2.1

I'm having some problems after the update. A fully charged iPod will have lost its charge after a night at standby. While connected the iPod shows battery at full capacity even though iTunes gets the battery level right. The screen is also fully lit at all times while tethered, unless I manually turn it off.

Just went through a complete Restore; plugged into iTunes, click the Restore, confirm and waited 10 minutes or so for it go through the process. Reinstated settings from backup - Apps, email, Notes, etc. Podcasts and Music Videos copied back also.
Set to Autolock after 1 minute, screen now fades after 45 seconds, switches to sleep after 1 minute, so it looks like this did the trick.
Will wait for the battery to charge and see how that's holding up now. Promising start though, the battery indicator went from red to green when it wasn't even connected to the Mac.
Just need to copy back all the music that was on it now... Suppose it was due for a bit of a shuffle anyhow

My new ipod touch's Battery life is extremely short

I bought 10 days ago the latest iPod touch and it is getting very poor battery life.
Even without using multitasking and with having notifications turned off, it is running from full to empty in less than two hours.
What is it that I have to do between all the things people recomend?
- Reset Network Settings
- set it up as a new device with no apps
- Powering off every night
- Shutting down Wi-fi all the time
- turning off push mail, notifications, etc
- Turning off "Location Services"
I've tried doing the lasts 4 things and nothing improved..
Or is it just because it's new and in the future it'll work longer?
Thanks you all for your useful answers!

Brand new iPod touch 4th generation VERY short battery life.

So the other day I went in to replace my old iPod touch for a new one because the home button was getting stuck and wouldn't work. So everything worked fine and I got the new ipod. Well It's been a few days and I've noticed that the battery life on this ipod isn't long at all. It'll last me maybe 30 minutes of usage. I've done everything I can to try and save battery life and it kind of helps, but not really. When I got this new iPod, I restored it from a previous backup instead of setting it up as a new iPod. I've read that doing this is the number one reason for battery loss in new iPhones and iPods. Is this true??
What should I do? I'm guessing that the battery isn't bad because it's BRAND NEW! I was going to take it to Apple, but I'm not sure if they'd find anything wrong with it since it is a brand new battery. PLEASE HELP!

Ipod touch 5g battery life problem?

Hi everyone, i just got thenew ipod touch 5g 32gb blue about 3 weeks ago and it runs ios 7.0.4. Now i have been thinking that i might have a bad battery because when i play games the battery runs out in labout 2 hours. i play games like wipeout and clash of clans. Also the ipod touch charges in about 45 mins from about 20 percent to 100 percent. On the apple website it said that it should take 4 hours. I use toua abelkins wall charger. Plz help me because i do not want to retuurn this ipod touch and there is no apple store near where i live. P.S. I have already tried restoring it but to no use. Also i would to know why the battery indicator goes up a lttle when i lock my ipod. Is this a ios 7 issue? I have also tried calibrating the ipod touch by letting the batery fully drain and then charging it up to 100 percent but to no avail. My freinds said that you have to completely drain your battery til auto shutdown when you first get it out of the box but i did not do that so could that bethe problem? And when the ipod auto shuts itself down the i plug in the chargers and it boots up right away, i thoutgh it was supposed to take 10 mins??? Plz help me because i love my ipod very much???!!!

Battery life on the iPod 5 running IOS 7 is well ... poor for gaming. To fully charge it takes around 4 hours +/-. The battery meter jumping around is normal, the metering system on this iPod is at best an estimate and will vary up and down depending on how hard your working your iPod. Run games or anything with high res. video the meter jumps down, listen to music from you library or put it to sleep and the meter will go up-- And will drive you "NUTS" if you spend to much time watching it. Your game time seems a bit short, but the more stuff going on, higher graphics, using Wi-Fi etc. will drain your iPod in short order. Most seem to get about 3 - 4 hours of gaming, 4 - 6 hours of video, more if watched on lower resolution. 6 - 9 surfing the web, something around 18 - 20 hours listening to your library with the screen mostly off and about 36 - 40 hours on standby from a fully charged battery. Don't bother with getting the meter replaced with %. It will not work any better, just make you nuts. As for the theory of drain the battery then fully charge it, Bogus! These things use Li-ion batteries, they don't have memory issues like Ni-CAD batteries. Just watch your 20% warning with the battery, thing of it as a low fuel light on your car, when it comes up charge your iPod. You never want to completely drain a Li-ion battery if you ever do it will never charge again, but they have charge protections to prevent you from doing that. Long story short; If your getting something around the use times listed above, it's normal. Goggle C-net about extending battery life many good things to try. Hope this helps, Good luck.

IPod Touch Strangeness: Battery life and iPhoto

I have a first generation iPod Touch (8 GB), running v.2.1. I recently went on a long trip, and the iPod Touch worked as expected, with pretty long battery life, etc. However, on my return, I've noticed two oddities. First, now whenever I attach my iPod Touch to its usual computer (iMac G5/20"/2.0 GHz), not only does iTunes start, but iPhoto also starts. It's not like I loaded a bunch of photos on the Touch-just the same 5 photos that have been on it for a year. Secondly, since returning, my battery life seems to have gotten much shorter. I had not used it for a couple of days earlier this week, and the Touch was completely discharged, despite the fact Wi-fi was turned off during this time. Thinking this may have been a fluke, I recharged it. Last night, I turned it on (full battery), and played a game on it for a bit. When I was done, the battery was slightly discharged. I made sure wifi was turned off again, and let it sit overnight. This morning, the battery was again half discharged. Any idea what is going on with these two things?
Thanks in advance.

Only Apple knows. The testers for iOS5 may also know but they are prevented from telling people now. by thieir NDA (non disclosure agreement).

IPod Touch and Battery Life

Hello guys, just question for you.
I think that soon I'll go get myself a new iPod and still can not decide between the iPod touch 64 gigs and the Classic.
I am looking for a device where I can store all my music and has a good battery life. Now the Classic would be great as I would not need to upgrade for a few years ... the only worry is that it's a bit too fragile, due to the presence of an hard drive and not flash memory.
On the other side I wonder if the iPod touch would resist for a week without charging it....I'm the kind of user who often flickrs tru the list looking for other songs etc and also most of my songs have been ripped at 320kbs so that means the player has to fish into the memory more often
Any advice? Thanx in advance

Hi Antonio,
I've had a classic (original 160gb) for a few years now. It's taken a few knocks over time... nothing hardcore/abusive, but still works fine.
Apple say that you get 36hours of music from a classic and 30hours from a touch
I listen to my classic on my way to/from work, and a few hours of the day at work. I can get a whole week out of one charge easy.
I recently bought a touch with some gift vouchers from a work bonus. The usability of a touch is far superior to a classic. Movies, games, apps, wi-fi are all amazingly good, but drain your battery. A charge usually lasts 2-3 days, but I do use my work wi-fi to check facebook & eBay sometimes (banned on work computers)
I'd say touch trumps the classic, but if your music is all 320k, your going to fill 64gb fast!!! One thing to bear in mind is it's almost new Apple time. With the advent of iPhone OS4, there are many rumours and speculations, all of which are totally unfounded, but it is widely assumed that June/July will yield a new iphone, and possibly a new touch. There is no way to know for sure what the specs will be, but the new touch may come in greater sizes than 64gb

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then see if placing the iPod in airplane mode when in standby helps.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
