Push Notifications and Battery Life

If I have push notifications enabled, but no applications that use push notifications, will my battery still be drained?

You probably won't notice or experience any significant change in battery life with Push access turned off vs leaving it on, but if you aren't using any applications that use push notifications, then turn it off. Not much different if you never use bluetooth. If you never use bluetooth or not very often, it is a good idea to leave bluetooth access off unless you are using it.

  • Push notifications and battery

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question for you: I was wondering if the number of the apps which have push notifications on affect the battery life!
    I'll try to explain myself: if I have Viber and Whatsapp with notifications turned on but I don't get many notifications from Viber, does my battery drain faster only because I have viber notifications active?
    Thanks to whoever replies!

    I beleive that they will check periodically for updates/notifciations and this will drain the battery.
    This is why I have very few notifications turned on on my phone.  I have my email accounts set to manually fetch when I check them, and I very rarely set any other apps to push me notifications because of this reason.

  • Updated to OS 10.7.3; fan runs constantly and battery life dropped to under 2 hours when 100% charged. How do I get back to 10.7.2, I don't have a backup prior to this upgrade. This is a newer Macbook Pro 13", no modifications.

    Help! This new version of Lion is making me miserable. The fan runs constantly, the computer is hot and battery life has dropped to under 2 hours on a fully charged battery. I updated yesterday, nothing but misery today. Even running the mail program alone make the fan run like I have everything open. Using Pages, iPhoto, and iTunes simultaneously makes the computer blistering hot.Yesterday, I could use all three without any trouble. Any suggestions to either jettison 10.7.3 or how to fix without any expense? I haven't modified this computer at all, it is as it came from the box in August 2011: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.

    I updated to Lion 10.7.3 and started noticing my fans running on high all the time and my battery would drain 2-3x faster.  I was going to take my computer into an Apple store until I found this thread.  I did the SMC reset by shutting down my computer, plugging it in, and then pushing down shift+control+option while also pushing down the power button.  Nothing happens on the screen and the computer did not turn on.  I then released all the buttons at once after holding them down for 10 seconds. 
    After that, I simply turned my computer back on and everything seems to be working fine.  The  fans are not blasting anymore.  I have a newer MacBook Pro where I can't access my batteries.  The SMC reset may differ for other types of laptops. 

  • I have a early 2011 Macbook pro 13 inch, I'm running Lion 10.7.4, and i want to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is it safe for my computer or are people experiencing problems with displays and Battery life?

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • Push notifications and tag subscriptions suddenly stopped

    Push notifications and registrations have suddenly stopped working (working fine for 4 months). I cannot figure out why. Can someone please help?
    The only change I made on the server is to delete the TodoItem table (from azure example, which I'm not using any longer).  Here are errors showing up in the mobile services logs:
    <label style="display:block;font-size:11px;line-height:11px;font-family:'Segoe UI Semibold';text-transform:uppercase;margin-bottom:7px;">ERROR</label>
    The request 'PUT /push/registrations/304RegIdStuff...' has timed out. This could be caused by a script that fails to write to the response, or otherwise fails to return from an asynchronous call in a timely manner.

    I'm glad it's working for you again.
    It looks like there was some
    potential issue yesterday that includes Service Bus, but I'm not sure if it also affected Notification Hubs.
    It's always a good idea to go and check the
    service status page when anything weird starts to happen.

  • Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

    Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

    Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
    To fix:
    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

    For me, 2.1 works great.

  • I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes...  "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play.  How can I get this message to STOP?

    I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes...  "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play.  How can I get this message to STOP?

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

  • Late push notifications and emails for alerts

    Hi all, It happened to me several times already and am wondering what's going on. I open the app on my iPhone (or go to myfico.com on my computer for all that matters) and find out I have a new alert. A few hours later, my phone displays a push notification telling me I have a new alert. It's referring to the same alert I read about two hours ahead. Then, as if that was not late enough, I get an email the next day informing me about the very same alert! While most emails come within what seems like 6 hours, I've had at least three being one day late. This has obviously nothing to do with credit bureaus not reporting in time or any such thing. This is an internal issue of myfico.com where push notifications and emails are delayed even though the information is available online. With this being a *paid* identity monitoring service, I expect to know as soon as possible and having an email sent a day later is not "as soon as possible". Fraud waits for no one. On top of that - and this possibly being very well related - I get a hard inquiry on my report AUG 04. CreditSesame (a free service!) alerts me about 4 minutes later (wow!). CreditTracker by CapitalOne follows up with an email about two hours later. AUG 05 in the morning, about 6am, I find myfico.com having one notification from myfico from Experian. Followed later by an email at 10:36am (lucky case!): from: myFICO Member Services <[email protected]>to: <my email address goes here>
    date: Wed, Aug 5, 2015 at 10:36 AMsubject: Alert - A new inquiry was added to your Experian credit report I think it was about 9am when I logged in again and found an Equifax alert sitting there. An email followed at 1:02pm. That's 4 hours late, assuming 9am as original alert time, which is when I found it accidentally. from: myFICO Member Services <[email protected]>to: <my email address goes here>
    date: Wed, Aug 5, 2015 at 1:02 PMsubject: Alert - A new inquiry was added to your Equifax credit report It is now AUG 07 and I am yet to have an alert from TransUnion on myfico.com. Note that both creditsesame and capitalone use TransUnion. What gives? Thank you,Adrian

    The other side doesnt have CSRs on these forums, you need to call the 800 customer service number to get these items resolved.

  • Push Notifications and slowness

    Has anyone been experiencing general slowness on some applications with push notifications enabled? I was complaining to one app support person about how slow their application loaded but found out that if I disabled the push notifications, the app loaded in less than half the time. I couldn't complain much afterward. I thought that one of the great things about push notification was that it wasn't supposed to affect battery life or performance on the phone.

    I'm glad it's working for you again.

  • Exchange Outlook Push Not working, Battery life Tanking, iPhone heats up!

    I have seen several posts about this, but nothing that has been able to exactly describe my issue. I have a iPhone 3G on the latest firmware, 3.1.2. I was recently able to add my work exchange email to the phone and it worked fine with SSL disabled. At the time, we had not yet set up security on our OWA. Well that lasted about a week, then they decided to enable the security and since then, my push exchange mail with Outlook has not worked. I tried enabling the SSL feature on the phone and still no dice. As a result, my battery only lasts about 3 hours and the phone's physical temperature heats up. Once I delete the exchange account, the tempreceeds and the battery life returns to normal. I ahve been working closely with our IT guy and we can't seem to figure out what is happening and why it won't sync anymore. I get the error, "cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed" but in the setup, the exchange Account is verified. Any ideas?

    Hi, I have just run into the same issue. I was using ver 3.00 on my iPhone 3g up until last night when I upgraded to 3.1.2. Since the upgrade where my phone was successfully connecting to our Exchange 2k3 server and recieving push notifications for mail and calendar etc, this has now stopped. The result now being it will only pull mail on request.
    As mentioned in the post above, I have noticed the battery life on my phone has deteriorated significantly, to the point it only lasts a few hours, with almost zero usage.
    Please help.

  • Push notifications and iMessage won't work on iPod 4th gen refurbished after updating to last ear iOS

    My iPod has been working well for a while other than the battery draining very quickly. But just today I updated to iOS 6.1.3 and all of a sudden iMessage won't deliver the messages and my push notifications aren't showing up! I don't know what is making this happen, but this along with the battery issue is driving me crazy!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Try turning off the following to conserve battery:
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
    Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

  • Updated new iphone 4s and battery life is poor

    Since I upgraded my new iphone 4s the battery life has become really poor. As soon as its unplugged its lost life!
    Is this going to be fixed?

    Depending on the settings for your social media apps, your usage can very. If, for example, Facebook is checking the status to often, your battery is more likely to be drained. Same for mail and other push/fetch services.
    Sometimes it helps to delete the account and set it up again, there have been cases in which those apps got stuck trying to connect to their servers.
    If you restored the phone from the latest backup you made, did you reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for at least 10sec, until the Apple logo came back again?

  • Ios 7.1 and battery life

    Since downloading the software over a week ago my phone battery life has significantly decreased. This morning it was just under 100% and now it's at 12% despite having my bluetooth off, location services, notifications, screen brightness etc all switched off.
    Really disappointed that to speak with apple tech support I have to pay £25! I wish there was a way I could go back to the old version.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue!?!
    Thanks

    I didn't notice any difference. Battery life on both 7.1 and 7.1.1 is better than I ever had before.
