Smart Connect draining battery

Hey,
I noticed the other day that my battery was draining faster than usually (just after I was awing how great the battery life is ) and checked the battery usage statistics and noticed Smart Connect draining my battery. As this has only happened once (for now) I was wanted to info Sony about this bug. It happened right after i purchased DK36 and started using it and made a night profile for it.

Hi,
I have had this issue also on my Z2, i noticed it the other day when my battery was starting to drain considerably faster than it had been doing in the past, checked the battery info section and found that 18% of my battery had been used by smart connect, i have since disabled smart connect and my good battery life has returned!

  • Smart cover drains battery

    I noticed that when travelling my iPad 2 battery drains fast even though I don't use it. I discovered that it may be the smart cover that moves when I'm walking and it wakes it from sleep. Just a tip if you have the same issue with battery. I will turn the wake function off...

    I wouldn't write off the smart cover moving, check for yourself. You only have to lift the cover a matter of millimetres and the screen comes on. That said, it must be getting some movement in your bag for it to move enough to turn it on. It may be worth looking at how you carry it in your bag and maybe get a slip case to keep it in when in your bag.

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

  • Does notification drain battery even when not connected to wifi?

    i figured just to have it on and turn my wifi off. does it drain battery if i leave it on?

    well if not going over WiFi it would use GPRS/EDGE or 3G and that would drain battery instead.

    What more can i do? It´s still dosent work the way i should..

    Hello Igor,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone were heating up and losing battery life quickly.  There are a few articles I found that might help with what you are experiencing on your iPhone. 
    The first thing I recommend is quitting open applications.  You can find an article with the steps to that here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    If you are still experiencing the same issues on the iPhone after quitting all the apps that are currently open, follow the steps below:

    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

  • Drained battery with iPhone 3G 3.0 upgrade

    I loaded the new 3.0 software a few days ago with no problems. Today I found that my "turned off/ idle" phone in my pocket had gone to the new Apple recorder program and has been recording for 58 minutes by the time I discovered it. So unknown if this will be a source of battery drain by a program starting on its own (buggy?).

    mine lasts a lot.
    this is pretty much the daily use of my iPhone3G using 3.0 for a week.
    i work from 7am to 4PM, one hour break time in that timeline , its on standby for 8 hours , on break time i pretty much make heavy use of Youtube , Safari and Mail among other Apps like IM+ and sometimes some games, after my work day i still have almost 50% of battery left.
    my settings
    Push is set to manual
    Notifications are On and have 4 apps on it
    the internet connection is always 3G
    so my guess is that you guys do heavy use of your phones all day or maybe you guys are leaving the Safari , Mail and IPod apps running in the background.
    test this and see if your battery lasts longer.
    after every use of Safari , Mail or IPod before putting your Phone into standby do this, open safari, then press and hold the top button until you see the slide to power off option, release that button and now hold down home button (square) , after 6 seconds it will return to the home screen and Safari will be closed now ,do the same for Mail and IPod, open mail press top button until off slide , hold home for 6 seconds , then open Mail , hold top button until off slide then home for 6 seconds, now apps that don't shutdown like Safari , Mail and IPod will shutdown and the phone will use less battery while on standby. if you open them again they will again remain open and drain battery.
    there was a function on 3.0 when it got announced that it would close every app to save battery, people complained about it, apple listened and removed that function. now only Safari ,Mail and IPod apps stay processing and wasting battery in the background.

  • Completely Drained Battery Charging

    Hi all, I recently purchased a used 20 gb, 4G Ipod on ebay, it had a replacement battery installed, but the seller said it needed to be charged before use.
    I tried everything to get it to charge with a USB 2.0 connection (the same cable and computer that charges my Ipod mini 2nd gen just fine) but no luck. I tried a DC car charger as well to no avail. The Ipod shows no icons at all and the PC doesn't recognize it, I tried resetting it as well but no good.
    I talked with the seller and he told me neither the USB nor the DC charger had enough power to charge a completely drained battery. He suggested an AC Wall charger instead, which unfortunatly I don't have.
    My question then, would an AC wall charger likely work better at charging a completely drained battery? I'm probably going to try and get one to try at least, if not just buy one, but I'd like some idea of the chances that he's right about needing it to charge the Ipod.
    Thanks for any assistance

  • Smart Connect and data

    I tried using Smart Connect (on my E4G) at night - to turn off wifi and data at night and turn them back on in the morning. The wifi part worked flawlessly. Data connection do get disabled at night, but wont re-enable in the morning - I have to manually enable it. Any workaround? 
    With SmartConnect on, phone loses only 4% charge overnight, otherwise it is 10-12% - it would be wonderful, if it is completely automatic.
    Thanks,

    There was a similar question, regarding low battery mode, you will have to enable it manually.

  • Heating Up & Draining battery fast on iPhone 5s after iOS 7.1 update

    Hi,
    I updated my iPhone 5s 64GB to iOS 7.1 & it's heating up and draining battery so fast not to mention when I charge it , it takes longer time to charge!
    I didn't have this issue before on the previous version. I tried restoring my iPhone two times & also rebooting my iPhone five times, but nothing works!
    I've looked in other complaints and some of them suggested to switch off background app refresh and locations!
    I didn't have this issue before and I won't turn them off because if the problem because of it then I should experience the same problem on the previous version and why would I turn it off? So what's the purpose of the phone?
    My wife, my sister, my brother & my mom they got an iPhone 5 and they don't experience this problem except me!
    My iPad Air and my wife iPad Mini 2( Retina Display) and there is no problem with the iOS 7.1 .
    I've looked in other websites and found that there are other people experiencing the same problem. Apple should fix this problem ASAP!
    Is there anyone experiencing the same problem and what did he/she do to fix it incase he/she fixed it !

    I don't have any issues with my 5S on 7.1
    Have you actually taken your phone to the Apple store and have them look at it?
    Even if you don't want to turn off background app refresh,  you should turn it off and see what the results are.
    also you said you restored twice, did you restore as NEW?

  • Yoga 2 Pro Draining Battery Fast in Sleep Mode

    I have a new Yoga 2 Pro with i7 processor. It works great and normal battery life is about 4-5 hours. But with a fully charged battery, i can close the lid at night triggering sleep mode, and wake up to an almost dead battery.
    Why is this happening? It's really dissapointing and I'm going to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm on the latest BIOS with all current updates. I am not using Hibernate mode.
    Closing the lid shoud not cause battery to continue to drain at normal usage rates.
    I'm hoping it's the WINDOWS 8 software but I've tried all the settings I can find.

    the OP said battery was draining overnight because y2p was not going into sleep mode. then op changed some settings and, as i understand it, now his y2p does not drain battery overnight because he pushes power button and it goes into hibernate mode before closing lid.
    I would like to raise the issue of the difference between hibernate and sleep mode. I too find that if i put my y2p (and my mbp-bootcamp) into hibernate mode then my battery does not drain overnight. however, both my laptops drain the battery overnight in sleep mode... anyone have clear understanding of this? i've look at many articles on the web, but haven't found any that specifically indicate how fast sleep mode should drain batteries. I think my gf's mba-OSx also drains overnight in sleep mode and OSx doesn't even have a hibernate option (correct me if i'm wrong)...

  • I have an apple ipod. it has a drained battery and i have been unable to switch it back on. i have plugged it in to charge but its more dead than a dodo. can anyone help?

    Help!
    My kids IPOD touch has a drained battery. Usually I charge it and all is rosey. Not this time its showing no signs of life at all. Does anyone have any ideas please? Many thanks

    Try a different charger. If that doesn't work, hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time for 10 seconds while the iPod is on the charger and see if it shows any signs of life. If none of the above work, you should set up a Genius Bar appointment at your locla Apple store. If you don't have a local Apple Store, you should call Apple customer support to get a replacement iPod.

  • Smart connect not working with headphones

    smart connect app has stopped working with headphones, have tried emptying data and also restored the phone to factory settings, but still nothing with any pair of headphones, I have installed the soundabout app and all headphones are working with that, so wondering if it is a software problem rather than the headphone jack that is the problem, any advice please?

    You tried a factory reset - Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so backup what you need 1st - This is not the same as a factory reset but will achieve the same outcome
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • E72 and Smart Connect, how do I get it to work?

    Hi All
    Just been given an E72 from work and have read about smart connect, I have it all set up but it won't work, and to be honest I don't really understand what I'm doing!
    Can somebody please provide and idiots guide for me.
    All I want it to do is connect to my home wifi when at home, the 3G when out and about (or any free wifi if available)
    It can't be that difficult but I just can't seem to get my head round it.
    Many thanks
    Richard
