No toggle between 2g and 3g ... battery life has decreased

will there b any option to toggle between 2g and 3g in future ? because till ios 8.0.2 update there is no toggle option to switch your network to 2g  and in areas where 3g network is not good the battery life of iphone has decreased significantly.. including mine and many of my friends.. we have wifi at our home and we dont need any cellular data.....

It's highly unlikely. All supported carriers operate 3G/HSPA+/LTE networks. Most are in the process of completely killing off their 2G/EDGE networks.

  • PB shuts down between 30% and 50% battery life

    Hello everyone,
    My 15-inch PowerBook is around 18 months old. When I first got it I calibrated the battery. I do have it plugged in a lot, but I also use it on battery a lot.
    In the past few weeks, my PB has been shutting down when I have been using it with the battery. As recently as a month ago, I would get the alert message (anywhere from 8%-12% left) telling me I was almost out of battery life.
    Now, it just shuts down when it is between 30% and 50%. No warning, no alert, nothing. And of course I lose anything open that was not saved. I tried the PMU reset a few times but it does not seem to make a difference.
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance! =)

    count me in also. powerbook g4 fw400.
    been like this with 10.2 --> 10.3 --> now 10.4
    clean installs on everyone one. So I'm sure it isn't a software issue with the OS. Anyone try the new Battery Update 1.1 with our older powerbooks?

  • Updated my 3gs to 5.0.1 and my battery life has gone from 1.5 days   to less than half a day with no Apps open - how can I roll this back to 5.0 until a fix comes out?

    Since updating my 3GS to 5.0.1 my iphone battery has gone, overnight, from 1.5 days + (with multiple open Apps) to less than half a day to completely discharge from 100%.
    I desperately need to roll this install back to 5.0 but there are no resources on the internet (or this site) which indicate how I would do that.
    Please help.
    J

    You cannot and should not go back to 5.0.
    A fix is coming soon

  • After updating to Yosemite my battery life has decreased.  Is there a way to remedy this?

    While using Lion I could get up to 5 or 6 hours of battery from full and everything closed, now i can barely get more than two on a late 2011 Macbook Pro. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the software not being entirely compatible for the older hardware. If that is the case, if there is a way to revert back to lion without having to buy the OS.

    Try closing apps that are running in the background by pressing the home button twice, then tap and hold an app until it begins to jiggle. Then click the "-" in the upper left corner. Do this for all apps. Then press the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the phone powers off and you see the apple symbol. This should help.

  • IPhone 5 hotter than Venus and dreadful battery life after beginning to use photo streams?

    You may be able to tell from the title i have an issue.
    Set up the photo stream today after my bro in law shared pictures. Phone immediately heated up to ridiculous levels and my battery life has been dreadful.
    I've had the phone since start of June and had good battery life and no issues with heat, done the ios7 update last week (with no problems) so I reckon the issue is with the photo stream feature but I'm no tech wizard.
    I've done a few searches for an answer but not found anything.
    Any help would be great
    Cheers

    i am having same problem lately with my Iphone 5 and IOS7. I see my phone gets very hot when using the camera (or the gps apps). but even when I turn the camera off as well as GPS, the drainage is growing and when it gets to 24% it shuts down !!!! dead, I connected to the usb cable and it started but showed 0%.... very frustrating indeed !!!! would I be experiencing same issues with the new 5S I ordered already ??
    I see your comment about the "photo stream" - it sounds potential problem - I wonder if any other colleagues will bring this up as well ?!
    I turned off the Photo Sharing - will see if it's better, I did not want to turn off the Photo Stream becasue I did npt want to lose all my stored photos in te Icloud.
    is there something wrong with the camera ??

  • Cannot toggle between 2g and 3g

    Im from Sri Lanka and my carrier is Dialog. Im unable to toggle between 2G and 3G. Since the 3G signal strength is sometimes weak it drains alot of battery. Please help...

    You pay the carriers to use their network. They set the terms for that. If an iPhone does not meet your needs sell it and buy a phone that does.

  • Ios8 toggle between 2G and 3G

    I come form India, where the 3G coverage is not that good. So to save on battery I would always keep my phone on 2G and only use 3G when for example I wanted to see a video on youtube.
    But looks like the toggle between 2G and 3G has been removed in IOS8. This is a deal breaker for users like me.
    I travel a lot and charging a battery often is not really a viable option .
    Is there a way to revert back to IOS 7 again. I get a feeling, apple does not seem to care about users from developing countries, this is sheer arrogance to go ahead and remove the toggle between 2G and 3G.
    If apple does not include this feature soon, I may be left with no option but to migrate to Android, where you can toggle between 2G and 3G easily.

  • E72 - How to toggle between portrait and landscape...

    Some games refuse to run by displaying "This game is not supported in landscape mode. Please turn your handset to portrait mode".
    How can I toggle between landscape and portrait modes in Nokia E72?

    You can't do that because of the screen orientation which is landscape only in case of E72, E71, E5.

  • After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably.  I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day

    After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably.  I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day.  We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update.  I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well.  Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed".  Whatever. 
    I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue.  I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.   
    I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues.  I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so.  It was fine and now its not.
    Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
    Thank you.

  • I have had my iPhone 4s for a few months and the battery life was really good. Then around the same time I updated to ISO6 and I dropped it on the floor and since the battery life has been poor lasting only a few hours. Does anyone know why this is?

    I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.

    Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
    Apple to be checked.

  • I bought my 15" macbook pro i7 just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quick..at fully charged it says I only have 2:27 of usage time. I didn't pay for that-what can I do about it? I do have Apple care. Thanks.

    I bought my 15" macbook pro just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quickly. This started maybe a month or two ago. Its hard to tell. I only noticed the rapid change recently. Fully charged it says I have 2:27 (2 hours and 27 minutes) of usage time...with about 50% screen and keyboard brightness.
    I've checked inside system preferences and its cycle count is 261 and full charging cap is 6316.
    I have apple care...is this something i can/need to take up with apple. You'd think if you pay the price for these machines you should get mroe use out of them.
    ONLY A YEAR I'VE HAD THIS!
    My PC lasted 4 years before the battery showed signs this dramatic of wear.
    Any help is appreciated, im  new mac owner. thanks.

    do you have a mbp with dual video cards? running the system with the higher end card increases the heat and also drains batt power.
    i have the 1st gen unibody (2008) with an original removable battery of 311 cycles and 4453 charge. under normal use ill be happy to get 1.5hrs. the mac battery counter thing says i have 3.3hrs though (whatever). compared to me, i think you use your battery more than i do, perhaps its the reason why it degraded so fast in a year?

  • I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?

    I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?

    Installation of the new OSX is very heavy hdd load, in addition spotlight reindexes all the files on your computer - it may be a few hours. If in the future will be the same macbook hot, you should contact your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    May be required to clean notebook cooling system.
    You can also install any monitoring utility sensors to your mac  such as Hardware Monitor  and look at the value of the temperature sensors.

  • I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

    I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

    It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
    I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
    Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
    This will ensure you have no apps running...
    I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
    I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
    Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...

  • Getting remote context to "s1" is toggling between "s1" and "s2"

    I'm on WLS8.1SP4.
    I have an app that runs on my admin server, which communicates to a custom mbean hosted on my cluster (managed servers "s1" and "s2"). Some of the operations in the app send the same message to both "s1" and "s2", and some of the operations target either "s1" or "s2".
    Each time the app needs to connect to the mbean on a specific server, it gets the remote context to the server, using the Environment object, setting the provider URL to the URL for that server (I've watched this in the debugger). From that remote context, it does the JNDI lookup, gets the RemoteMBeanServer object, builds the ObjectName for the attribute (most of the calls are just attribute get/set calls), and then calls "getAttribute()" on the remoteMBeanServer. This all seems ok.
    Here's where something goes wrong. What I see happening is very odd. When the application first starts, it makes a set of calls specifically to "s1" and "s2". This first set of calls appears to be ok. However, when I make it go through the same set of calls again, all the calls that specifically build a URL for "s1" actually end up calling "s2". I can verify this by monitoring the debug output in the "get" methods in the mbean code. When I make it go through the calls again, it does them correctly. It very consistently toggles back and forth between "s1" calling "s1" and "s1" calling "s2".
    I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening.
    My admin server (where the main app is running) is Win2k Server, and the managed servers are Solaris 8.
    I've managed to repeat this on a different domain, but hosted on the same distribution and set of servers.
    I filed a ticket for this, and the engineer is working on building a test case to see if they can repeat this.
    I tried one experiment they wanted me to try, by adding the admin server to the cluster, effectively making the main app communicate to "s1", "s2", and "adminServer". What I saw happen with this configuration is that calls to "adminServer" always went to "adminServer", and the same with "s2". The calls to "s1" continued to toggle between "s1" and "s2".

    Minor clarification: I realized that the domain this is on is actually running 8.1SP2 (not SP4).

  • I cannot toggle between front and rear cameras on my iPad 4; any ideas?

    I cannot toggle between front and rear cameras on my iPad 4; Any ideas?

    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
