New itouch battery problem?

I just got my itouch replaced a little over a week ago and I noticed that in a matter of minutes, the battery level went down to 84% after fully charging it last night. Is this a problem? Shall I bring it to the apple store for replacement?

New 4S Battery Problem?

Wondering about my new 4S' battery. I think it's getting drained too much for a new unit. Here's a scenario.
Charged it to 100% before leaving my house i checked my social media feeds on wifi and made a few calls for about 5 minutes. 89% left after leaving my house. I left at around 6:20
Otw to my location i used Waze on mobile data for only 10 minutes and a few texts 81% left
After about 4 hours of checking my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram on mobile data 59% left
Arrived at my house with 50% left (10:30pm)
An hour and thirty minutes spent on the web using wifi 30% left
Charged it to 100% and used it again to check my feeds using mobile data after 20 minutes or so 79% left.
Note: I turned off Wifi after leaving the house only leaving my mobile data on. Background app refresh is off and so is auto-brightness
Is the battery drain normal? First day using it i discharged the battery to 0% and charged it all the way up to 100%.
Sorry for the long post. Just really concerned about my phone since this is my first iPhone.

It could be normal battery drain but i'm unsure.
How old is your iPhone 4S device?
It could be a hardware (battery) issue and it maybe should be replaced.
Or it can be a software related issue (e.g. a rogue app which keeps using e.g. GPS or refresh in background).
Read the blog post to determine if it is a hardware or software issue (usage time is equal to stand-by time).
In my case a rogue app which i had on my iPhone 4S already since iOS7.04 caused the drain after an update to IOS7.0.6. and still with iOS7.1 I removed the app and now my iPhone is fine again with iOS7.1 and now iOS7.1.1. ever since.
Question 1) Did you read the blog post i mentioned?
Question 2) Does your iPhone have the exact same Usage time as Stand-by time or not (see Settings > General > Use > ..)?
If this usage time is not exactly the same as the stand-by time then it could be that it simply is a hardware issue (battery itself) and not software (iOS) related.
Question 3) What kind of settings do you have on your iPhone e.g. the below things could cause a huge battery drain ever since the recent iOS release can still run in the background (if you have 'refresh in background' or GPS turned on for some apps).
We have two iPhone 4S phones and we have an average battery time of 1-1,5 day (when using it for e.g. a few calls, texts, mail, news apps and a short video for e.g. total of 3-4 hours) or even 2 days (if i don't use my phone much almost 90% stand-by time) and with WIFI connecting for about 90-95% of the day and ofcourse phone network but no 3G.
Aside from that we have the following settings which could save a lot of battery:
- bluetooth off
- screen brightness set to approximately 30%
- fetch e-mail accounts once an hour (Settings > E-mail, calendar .. > deselect 'Push' and set it to either Fetch e.g. once an hour)
- do not refresh any apps in the background (Settings > Refresh apps on background)
- apps that use GPS are limited (Settings > Privacy > Location tracking)
- only have a few apps (5-10) that are allowed to send push notifications
- only have a limited amount of apps to send messages to 'Notification center' or e.g badgets/strips/sounds/apps symbol or on your 'Access screen' (See Settings > Message center > check settings per app)
I think that 3G uses more battery then WIFI so if you have WIFI access then use that instead of 3G.

ITouch battery problem!

Hello!
Is anyone having issues with their 1G iTouch's battery life?? Mine is about ~6months old and it seems to be sucking the battery juice even when I'm NOT using it.
I shut OFF the Wifi and the My Location feature. It goes on stanby within a few minutes (it's still on the default time when I purchased it)! The iTouch is shut OFF when NOT in use!
The only things that'll drain the battery are:
1. Anything that uses Wifi!
2. App Games/applications - I use sparingly now though Mahjong is still addictive!
3. Movies - rarely watch the movies now, better to watch on LCD monitor or TV!
4. Music - obviously I use this feature but less now since I use my nano!
That's it!
Weather in New England has started to get cold and I know the temperature affects battery life. This can't be the (main) culprit!
I check up and charge up the iTouch ~3 days without using it! What gives?!
Any suggestions for improved battery life?!
Thank you!

Daching,
With your first point....
I thought that it wasn't possible to diminish battery life by charging your iPod battery too much and that it makes no difference how full your battery is when you use it, just so long as you don't let it diminish completely.
My old mp3 player did have diminished battery life from overcharging but I think the iPod Touch and other recent ipod versions don't have that problem.
MrMojo,
My iPod does strangely run out of battery if I leave it plugged into my computer overnight, but it doesn't affect the battery life.
I have no idea why your battery is running out so quickly but like daching said, exposure to magnets can affect battery life of any electronic device like computers and iPods and this might be the problem
sorry i can't help much

New iBook Battery Problems

Hello!
I have a problem with my 3 month old iBook. It seems that whenever its hits 50% battery status it turns off (not sleep, but turns off). Because it turns off at 50% I cannot calibrate the battery because it will not drain any further.
Is something wrong or am i being thick? Am I allowed to claim a new battery since the ibook is only 3 months old?
Many thanks,
palmerar

Your iBook is still under warranty so i think you should contact Apple and inform them of this. Applecare have sorted out all of my problems (iBook battery, iPod headphones) with a minimum of fuss.

New Laptop Battery problem

Hello, I just bought a new HP laptop MODEL: 2000-219DX last week Friday from best buy but apparently the battery never took charge. I contacted the HP technical support and after some troubleshooting and testing the battery they advised me to take it in for service. I live in the Bahamas and the laptop is still under warranty, therefore I'm not able to bring it back there. What can I do to resolve this situation?

Hello Ruvane,
Sorry to hear that you have an issue with your battery. If you have done troubleshooting with HP and it was determined that the battery is defective, HP will normally send a replacement battery. I am confused by your statement that you were advised to take to a service center. Additionally, I am concerned that the you are having an issue with a new notebook. I will send you a private email in which I will request additional information.
Regards,

New Q5 battery problem

Hello,
I am new to Blackberry and have just started using Q5 (it is brand new), I have had it for a week and unfortunately it switches off every 10-12 hours. I am not using the phone at all so it is mainly on standby, I do not understand what is draining the battery.
I have not downloaded any new apps and have even switched off the wireless in case that is impacting the battery life with no success.
I have upgraded the ios to the latest version (10.2.1.3062) yesterday and it is still having the same issue.
Any idea what I need to do with this phone, I am sure something is not right here as my partner has a z10 and is constantly using it but he doesn't need to charge his phone as frequently as I do.
Your help is much appreciated.

ITouch EQ Problem - Anyone experienced the same?

Hi there everyone
I received my iTouch last Tuesday and this is my first ipod. Put around a 100 cds on it and then set the EQ to Bass Boost. I like my bass high!
On bass heavy tracks and some drum heavy tracks I experienced very distorted sound (like an underwater "rumble"). Turn the EQ to R&B, Dance and Pop and the same thing. Turn the EQ off and everything is ok! Unfortunately the sound is then too "thin" for my ears.
Took the unit back to the Apple store in London's Regent Street and the assistants agreed with me and swapped the unit over (minus the engraving)! Tried the second one and exactly the same sound problem. Returned to the store again and armed with the source CD's the guys in the shop opened another iTouch and burnt the CD's to a mac book and then transferred them to the new itouch - same problem. They then transferred the songs to a "normal" iPod and the sound was perfect.
Anyone else experienced this and does anyone know what may cause this problem - software / firmware?
I received a full refund but this is such an amazing piece of technology that I would like to get an iTouch without this problem
Any help or advice gratefully received

I read somewhere recently that the new ipods do have a different sound chip than the previous generation. From personal experience, i only use the bass boost on tracks with abnormaly low bass. Once again personal preference. If it was a manual eq say on your home stereo, and you set the bass all the way up, chances are you would hear distorted bass from your speakers as the track you were listening to already had alot of bass. Correct? If I'm listening to a country song and I have the eq setting with enhanced bass, it sounds fine. If I switch to rap, it distorts. I know from experience to change the eq based on what I'm listening to. This has been true for all of my ipods prior to the touch also. I don't really blame apple. That is why there is a variety of eq's provided. I wouldn't hold my breath for a software update as I think it is more user preference. Forget what name is assigned to the eq and give them all a listen. If none are good enough, you may need to choose another product. Hope this helps a little .

Brand new Itouch has totally stopped working...??? is it the battery or is there a freeze/lock button that was activated?

Brand new Itouch has just stopped working.....no response...battery seemed to be fully charged and then my daughter hit the button to shut the screen off..now no response whatsoever.....???

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't help, try a Restore. From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
There's more but let's take it in small bites.
Also, read this.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

Problems after new New Power battery

Just installed a new high capacity New Power battery in my G4 1.42 GHz. I did the PMU reset, and battery calibration as recommended by New Power.
However, now, instead of going into sleep mode when battery runs down, the computer turns off. This happens when the battery gets down to around 15 minutes on the menu bar.
I don't mind (at least not too much) the computer turning off before the minute counter gets down to the end, but not going into sleep mode is a problem, as I lose whatever I'm working on.
This problem has probably been covered on this board, but I haven't been able to find it.
Any help is appreciated.
Ed

Same problem! Does your battery icon in the menu bar go red at about one hour run time left? What about the Amperage number in the About this Mac - is it a negative number?

I too can live with this, just wondering if you are having the same issues I am.
Have you spoken with any of the technicians? They told me someone with a G4 just called with the same issues, was it you?

Help!! New Itouch Problems

Just bought a new Itouch today. I got it all setup and then went to purchase a few songs. A window popped up asking me to answer some security questions which I don't even remember filling out. I tried anyways and failed and now I am locked out, and can't make any purchases or downloads with my apple id, do i just have to get a new id? or what?

Fixed. Jumper pin configuration was set incorrectly. Placed in "Master" mode and problem disappeared.

'New' Exchange Battery not holding charge - Date & Time problems

I recently received a 'new' exchange battery for my 2001 500mhz white ibook (OSX 10.3.9, 320ram), as part of the Battery Exchange program, and now I'm having some new problems.
Since I started using the battery a few weeks ago, I've been having constant problems with the Date & Time reseting itself to 1969. I reset to current time, but when I turn on again, it's resets back again. Also, this battery is not holding a charge very well, lasting only about 40 minutes after fully charged (My old battery lasted 2 hours).
I calibrated the battery when i first received it, and I've reset the PMU twice, but no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help & advice....
ibook (500mhz 2001) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Is there any such program for the G3s?
Only if you replaced your original battery with one from Apple within a certain time frame and within a specific range of serial numbers. Check out the details here:

I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.
