So, where is Apple now on this iOS5 battery issue?

It's been a little while now since Apple's failed battery fix upgraded 5.0.1.  How far are we from seeing 5.0.2 and, if that doesn't fix the battery drain issue, is there any chance of a general 'recal;' of some sort?  I just want to be able to use my iPod Touch without having to constantly worry about the battery.
Has anyone heard if the cause of the issue has been determined?
Thanks.

I know that some individuals have been using the battery level indicator to extrapolate battery charge time, which is a totally bogus method for such determination.  Using the indicator is such a manner is tantamount to using your car's gas gauge to calculate miles per gallon.
1.  Charge overnight with an Apple wall-mount charger.
2.  Operate the unit until it shuts down automatically.  Ignore any low battery alerts.
3.  How much total operating time did you get.

  • Is this a battery issue or do I need a new ipod?

    I have had my Ipod mini since they first came out and use it every day. For the last few months the battery drains constantly every 2 hours so I need to keep it plugged in. Recently it's become as soon as you turn it on it will drain and turn off. Turn it back on it will drain again and turn off.....do this four times in a row it will eventually notice it has a charged battery.
    Last night the darn thing turned off completely and will not turn on for anything. I've tried all the trouble shooting tips and now have it plugged into the computer.....dead.
    So is this a battery needs to be replaced issue or is it a you need a new ipod issue?
    should mention the top where the head set goes in is coming off as well.....over use between work and home.

    I was having the same problem and found this link in another thread and followed the directions, removed the battery and when I reassembled my iPOD it worked fine and in fact it indicated a fully charged battery.

    Give it a shot, you may have nothing to loose... You should be somewhat handy though.

  • Apple Support will not acknowledge battery issue

    This forum and Twitter are buzzing with talk about the crippling of the Macbook Pro battery life after a Lion upgrade. I used to be able to browse all day, but I'm down to under 3 hours now and the machine is running red-hot.
    Apple Support said they'd had no reports of this issue when I called yesterday yet, curiously, offered the exact same solution that seems to be the only thing on offer here - switch off then press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Power for 10 seconds. I told the guy I'd already tried this but humoured him.
    No luck. I had 2.5 hours from it last night doing nothing else but looking for flights on the web. It was like having a radiator on my lap!
    I'm now switching-off FileVault to see if that helps. If not I'm back to Snow Leopard tonight.

    You might want to consider holding out for a little longer... 10.7.1 can't be to far away.
    I have no idea when it will be coming but the longest wait, in the past, when going from a .0 to a .1 update was 19 days.

  • What do i have to do to solve this? Battery Issue

    New MacBook. Bought sun 9th.
    Works perfectly.
    What`s wrong with it?
    It can`t work if it`s not plugged. It`s supossed to be a laptop, but it depends of a socket.
    I can`t turn it on if it`s not connected by the cable to the socket.
    On the screen appears an icon of the battery with a "x" over it.
    I don`t know what that means, but the sentence "no batteries available" says much.
    Does someone know what`s happening here? Bcause i checked the battery thing and it`s fully charged. Even tho the laptop won`t turn on without being connected to an energy source.

    Call Apple and see when they can send you a box so you can send it back. Try to get a replacement, but they can probably repair it.

  • This iPhone4s battery is draining the life out of ME! Help?

    I just made the jump to my first smartphone because of the iPhone 4s. So many wonderful applications and functions. Mostly Siri. I'm so dissapointed. I have only had it 3 days. The battery drains so fast, I have to charge it 2x or 3x a day. My old LG octane (yeah.. I know) Could go days.. Im seriously thinking of returning this silly phone. I was so excited, and now, I feel like crying.
    I have tried everything. System resets, drain battery, charge battery, deleted apps., deleted mail account, turned off Siri, push notifications,  location services, time zone, I have turned off just about everything there is to turn off!  It is STILL draining. And seriously?!?  Whats the point of getting a smartphone that has all these wonderful things and all these cool functions.. only to have to turn them all off!!?? Its not very 'smart', if you ask me!
    Signed,
    Dissapointed and totally frustrated!!!

    Thank you for replying to my Whiny post. LOL Here is a list of everything I did!
    This was a new phone start up. I didnt back up from iCloud.
    I tried turning various things on and off to solve it with no luck.
    Finally, last resort. I did these 5 things last night before bed.
    1. Deleted my email account.
    2. Went to settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings.
    3. Completely switched phone off and restarted.
    4. Drained the phone completely and then fully recharged it. When I got up this morning, it was the first time battery charged to 100%
    But still have major issue: Battery has drained 13% with 1 hour usage/1 hour standby
    I have Siri running
    Re set-up my email account
    Switch on location services and have only 3 items I want, switched on (Siri, maps, and weather)
    Switched off Location-Based iAds, Setting Time Zone,
    Push notifications set for (messages, phone, and reminders) everything else is off
    Brightness screen is halfway
    Raise to speak is off
    Network cellular data off
    restrictions off
    bluetooth off
    passcode lock off
    Date and Time is off
    Accessability off
    Fetch new data is on, but set to manually
    Photostream on
    Store cellular data off
    Called Apple this morning. The tech was very curtious and sympathetic. They are sending me a new phone. I am not very optimistic, but I will try and hope for the best! I really, really love this iPhone 4s, but I really, really hate this freaking battery issue!

    I am at Ramstein AB Germany.  My iphone screen was smashed badly on the flight to Germany this morning.  WHEN I access apple support for this subject it gives me 3 options call now, call me now or call me later.  As I am in Germany with no coverage and no working phone none of those options will work.  Can you get this e-mail to someone who can help.  My iphone serial # is C38xxxxxx. 1) I need to know where and how I can get a replacement somewhere nearby in Germany 2) If 1 is not an option I need to set up an appt to get a to get a new iphone at an apple store in Atlanta GA in the evening of 11 July.
    Thank you very much, Phil Edelen

    Thanks, my wife is the one serving I am retired and trying to follow her as much as I can. 
    I will schedule an appt for my next time stateside.  I have spent too much time on many Apple web sites trying to get an e-mail to communicate with anyone at Apple to no avail, only phone numbers. I guess if you are overseas with no international access you are out of luck communicating with them.  I did find one e-mail address but the reply was computer generated and provided useless links.
    If anyone has any e-mail address for anyone at Apple I would appreciate it.
    Thanks again,
    Phil

  • Where/how can I address this to Apple?

    Hi! LPX 10.0.5 update has removed recorder button R from track when USB hardware is connected!
    Where/how can I address this to Apple?

    Evindar,
    I didn't say it was 'only' with M-Audio but the interfaces that are failing tend to be either older M-Audio ones or ones that follow the same sort of design or were designed by the same Dev teams.. such as Alesis for example... though a few USB mics have failed as well..
    Other USB2 devices such as Motu and Apogee interfaces are unaffected.... even if they are class compiant (driver free) though in the main, most Pro level USB2 devices now do have drivers for them even if initially they were supposed to be driver free devices... for other reasons..
    The Motu Audio Express will happily work without drivers as it is class compliant.. and is unaffected by this 10.0.5 issue... as  will the Apogee Quartet... which is another class compliant driverless USB2 device and that seems to be unaffected by this issue too
    Also, I am not aware anyone has said it was Mavericks related though actually it could be.. in the sense that something in the 10.0.5 update was changed to reflect/hook into new routines in Mavericks... and that could have tripped up certain USB2 devices...

  • Apple, please fix this bug.  Sending scanned images to "Pictures" is not what I want nor what I was able to do in every previous operation system.   I want to save all scanned items in a specific folder - NOT "PICTURES"  Please fix this bug NOW!

    I only use Image Capture, so I can't speak for other software.
    Here is how I select a Scan To destination:
    If you are using the minimal details screen, you should have the same submenu to the left of the page size.

    I am still on Mavericks and was going to update to Yosemite, but am scared that if I do that I will lose my programs. I am following your question and I really hope that this works out for the both of us. Good Luck!!!

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...
