Phone is a week old and battery is horrible already!

Please help, my phone is brand new and the battery is horrible. I have brightness down all the way, notifications off. I turn wifi off when I don't use it. I know about all that stuff. The battery still drains. I charge it at night take it with me, never use it until about 10 in the morning, and the battery is already down to 70 percent. It's a joke. I knew they didn't have great battery, but this is ridiculous! I don't have location on either and it's not too full, although that shouldn't cause problems. I don't know what else to do. I'm hoping it's an issue with a software update. I really don't want to take it back to AT&T this soon after buying it.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • My 15" MBP is two weeks old but battery capacity is already lowering significantly?

    I've had my 15" MBP for about two weeks now and CoconutBattery is already telling me that the capacity is down to 95% (design capacity - 6900 mAh, current capacity - 6586 mAh) Also, the details show that the battery is 19 weeks old and has gone through 23 battery loadcycles. I also just unplugged my laptop from a full charge and after less than 45 minutes of simple web browsing, it has already fallen to 67%. While I do use my laptop quite a bit, I've always used Macbooks because I find the battery life to be pretty durable for the machine. I only had to change my pre-2008 Macbook Pro battery once in almost 4 years. Can someone tell me if something seems wrong and should I contact AppleCare about it?

    Why do people always recommend to recalibrate the battery and then link that document from apple about calibrating the battery that specifically states that the batteries are pre calibrated???
    "Portables with built-in batteries
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider."

  • It's less than three weeks old and the paint.s already flaking off..

    Imagine my embarassment! Here I am telling all my friends how great my new Macbook is---the high quality---and the mat finish "paint" is already flaking off to the left of the mouse pad. My God! It's like a bad used car! I may hate the Windows OS and love this MacBook but I had no idea that it had some sort of sprayed on finish. Now it looks like crap; it looks old, used and cheap.
    And it's not even three weeks old!
    Hmmm...has this happened to my three year old HP laptop? No. How about my four year old Gateway? No. Maybe my six month old Toshiba? Nope. Only my over priced MacBook.
    Now...why am I posting here? Because I can't get the lame on line service request system to accept my request for assistance in any mode.
    "Painted on quality"...worse than the blue screen of death.
    Since I can't get any support---the phone number doesn't offer a choice for my problem---maybe I should drive an hour to the nearest Apple store---and stand outside showing everyone who comes by what a seventeen day old MacBook looks like.
    Cheesy and disapointing....never again!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   First Apple....Probably my last

    Listen, it really is too bad that this has reportedly happened to your new machine. I am sure that if you take it to a certified apple technician they would send it away for you to be fixed or maybe replaced. I also have dealt with APPLE CARE on the phone and they have been great, in the past. Try to phone the apple care number again and talk to a real person, forget the menu. Having said all that, I still wish that my APPLE was made in USA, even though I would have to pay more, I would.

  • My phone is 2 weeks old and would not update/sync this morning, told me I would have to restore. It will not resotre and gives me an error code 17 and 56? I have the latest version of I tunes on my computer and am not sure what to do with this

    Does these error codes mean that I have to replace my brand new phone. Should I go into Verizon, or take it straight to Apple???

    It's possible there is a problem with the server you are syncing to. I'd wait a bit, try again a little later.

  • Why need to charge iphone 6 Plus everyday the battery just last long for a day- My phone just 1 week old

    I have to charge my phone everyday, The battery just last long for a day. Is that normal ? My phone just one week old.
    Please advise mates.

    I would say that is well within the acceptable limits,
    If you check out Apple's page here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/
    All the way at the bottom is the battery info. It states that you'll get up to 12 hours of battery on 3G/LTE. Of course, that number is obtained by following a very specific set of steps - the real world number is less.

    The passcode is the answer to the prompt "Enter Passcode" that you are very likely seeing.
    If not, you need to help us by telling us the exact symptoms of what you are seeing.

  • My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

    My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

    User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

  • I got a whole new Iphone 4s, (1 week old) and it already has wi-fi problems.

    Hey Apple Users,
    I recently got a new Iphone (1 and half week ago) because my old one was broken after 1.5 years.
    So i'm glad that i got a new one, till i noticed i NEVER have any wi-fi and he doesn't find any wi-fi locations near me, not at home at school or at any other places.
    I don't know what's wrong, it might be the new IOS7, i got it the same time i got the new Iphone, so it might be that because i heard alot of wi-fi problems with the new IOS7.
    But it's just annoying that i got a new phone, and it already has problems after 1 week, it doesn't make me happy at all. I basicly can't do anything without my wi-fi.
    So are there any suggestions or idea's whats wrong?
    I've googled myself, and some say it's hardware issue, but this is a new iphone 1 and half week old and it already started on day 1 the wi-fi problems.
    So this shouldn't really be the case unless apple has given me a broken iphone, which would be pretty fcked up because i don't have any warranty anymore, and i'm not going to pay loads of euro's because they gave me a broken phone.
    So, Help a person out =3
    Cheers,
    Dylan Hermans.

    What? All new iPhones come with a one year hardware warranty, minimum. Replacements, 90 days or the balance of original warranty. If you phone is a week old, make an appointment at any Apple store.

  • Help!  My Mac is 1 week old and shutting off! AND I'm in a foreign country.

    Hello! My Macbook is just one week old and I have already had problems with it shutting off due to " Mac OS X quitting" or something rather. It also becomes very hot where the monitor and computer connect. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong. Do I need it replaced entirely or just a part. I'm in Seoul, Korea so I need to know exactly whats wrong. Thanks for you help

    Does your computer not want to reboot? and when it finally does, you are left with less or no battery power, and a meesage pops up saying Mac os x quit unexpectedly....
    Had absolutely the same problem. I called applecare, made me restart PMU, did not do anything. It's likely that its also not because you are closing the lid too quickly, that was not the problem with mine. The problem persisted so someone suggested to do an archive and install. The problem was gone. However, it starting having the random shutdown problem. Went into an apple store, and they exchanged the heat sink. I would recommend getting it checked out as this problem ended being a signal of something worse. Click the Macintosh HD icon, then click the Library icon, then click Logs. If you see an icon saying Panic.log, then you probably have the same problem as me. Go to an apple store and show them this panic.log icon and click it. They will probably do the same thing they did to my computer.
    Good luck, Sarah.

  • My iPad2 is four weeks old and the home button will not always close the applicaton that is currently running

    My iPad2 is four weeks old and the home button will not always close the application it is currently running and the problem is getting worse and I have tried to restore the iPad but this did not improve the problem...Is this a hardware problem that I need to seek a replacement

    Your home button and power button are completely unresponsive, even when you attempt a hard reset? If so you will have to put into recovery mode and restore through itunes or possibly DFU if that does not work

    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    you can exchange a 4S for $199

  • HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

  • What does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

    What will apple do for you if what does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

    If the damage is due to a manufacturing defect, they will unquestionably replace it.  If the damage was caused by misuse or mishandling, such as dropping, Apple is obliged to do nothing.  Your best bet is to go to the Genius bar at an Apple store and explain what happened, perhaps they will replace the iPod.  Also, If you bought your iPod with a credit card, check with your card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.
