Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
Hope this helps!
Dylan

I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

Does the IOS 5 resolve the iPhone battery problem experienced in IOS 4.3X?

Does the IOS 5 resolve the iPhone battery problem experienced due to the IOS 4.3X updates, i am using an iPhone 4 and am facing major battery drains after the IOS 4.3.3 update. Anything indication on this yet available or any feedbacks on this from the test runs? Really hoping that this is corrected after y'days IOS 5 announcement!

Not really.
Just installed the update last night and the update automatically turns ALL the apps "ON" by default so each user much check their phone's settings after each major update.
My iPhone 4's battery was running down quicker after the update. I turned off as many apps that were running in the background and checked the other settings.
I just found out that Bluetooth was turned "ON" by default, a feature I never used, so I turned it off. THIS was probably the real culprit.
The update is still too new to know if it fixed the battery life or not. Given Apple's history with battery life with the devices, don't count on it!

Man konnte sehen, wenn dieser Seite hilft. Ich habe auch gesehen zu erwähnen, dass Clearing-Safari-Cache (Einstellungen > Safari > Cookies löschen und Daten oder Clear Cache, und Klare Geschichte).
Auch dem Schließen der App Store-App und macht einen Reset helfen könnte. Um den App Store app komplett zu schließen: von derHome-Bildschirm (also nicht mit dem App Store 'open' auf dem Bildschirm)Doppelklick auf die Home-Taste, um in der Taskleiste, und halten Sie danneine der Apps auf der Taskleiste für ein paar Sekunden oder so, bis sieschüttelte starten, drücken Sie die '-' in der Spitze der App Store App linksum es zu schließen, und tippen Sie einen Teil des Bildschirms über der Taskleiste, um das Zittern zu stoppen und in der Nähe der Taskleiste .
Zum Entriegeln: Drücken und halten Sie beide den Schlaf und Home Buttons für 10 bis 15 Sekunden (ignorieren Sie die rote Schieberegler), nach der das Apple-Logo angezeigt werden soll - nicht verlieren, jeden Inhalt, es ist das iPad entspricht einem Neustart.
You could see if this page helps. I've also seen it mentioned that clearing Safari's cache (Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data or Clear Cache, and Clear History).
Also closing the App Store app and doing a reset might help. To close the App Store app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why does the iPod 5 not have a battery perecentage option? can't you guys put it in an update?

Apple has not said why.

Contact iTunes store support and pay what you owe.

I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS : As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13.

Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

4S battery problem - phone dies, can't charge or turn on??

Having some possible battery problems with my iPhone 4S. I'm on Sprint, with the latest iOS and running on Windows 7. It all has to do with when the battery dies, and has happened 3 times already...
1. battery died, this happened:
(about a month ago)
plug in to PC via USB, low battery sign (with small sliver of red available).
almost immediately (about 2 seconds), apple logo startup screen appears.
about 20 seconds later, vibrates twice.
a second later it flashes the lock screen then goes to black with a spinny wheel for about 5 seconds.
then the apple logo startup screen shows again...and same thing repeats.
does not charge at all. same problem when plugged in to wall charger.
somehow the next day I got it to show "connect to iTunes" screen, and restored the iPhone.
2. battery died, same cycle happening.
(about two-three weeks ago)
I left it alone for a week & set a Genius Bar appointment.
somehow, the day before the appointment, I was able to plug in the iPhone, charge it, and turn it on with no problems at all.
I took it in anyway to the Apple Store and they did a "firmware restore", supposedly different from the restore I did on my home computer.
3. battery died, same crap again.
(yesterday...)
possibly interesting to note was that the battery was fully charged and left alone for the day, but was dead when I checked on it in the evening.
I think something is happening where the battery isn't actually completely drained - so the second time around when I got lucky, the battery had fully run out... so when I plugged it in to charge it didn't try to turn on straight away (because it couldn't).
...Not really sure though.
Any thoughts?????

Could possibly be the battery, I just thought if you remove the battery then try turning the phone on with the charger plugged in and see if that works, but then realised it doesnt as I just tried it, so ignore that one ha ha. Id try another battery in it and see if that solves the prob, if that doesnt work, it might either be totally screwed or just might need re flashing if the firmware has gone down the pan for some reason.

IPhone Battery Problems?

I purchased my iPhone 5 around May of 2013. Nowadays, the battery seems to be discharging fairly quickly. Especially when it gets below 20%. Once below 20% all bets are off as to how long it will stay powered up. It could shutdown when the display reaches 17-18%.
Weird thing is, if I charge it for just a moment or 2, then boot it up again, the charge jumps well into the 2x%, maybe even 3x%.
I think that Apple has another battery problem to deal with and would like to see my iPhone included in a recall.

If your usage and standby times are the same, then there is a process stuck trying to update. There could be other issues, but that is generally the problem. Make sure you have a current backup of your device and then connect it to iTunes and restore the device as new. Do not add any additional content to it. Test the phone for a short period of time and see if it works better, and if the times differ. If so, then try restoring to that last backup. If the battery problems return, then something is corrupt in your backup. You would need to restore it as new again and sync your content back manually.
Sprint insurance did not get you a device that was refurbished by Apple. That only happens from Apple. The refurbished device you received was refurbished by someone else, so all bets are off as far as quality. I would not concern myself with the Apple refurb program, as those devices are inspected even closer than new manufactured devices. Use the link that razmee209 provided to check to see if your battery is part of the replacement program. Next time you have an issue with the phone, make an appointment with the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store to have it examined.

At a loss with my Galaxy battery Problems. If you can help you are awesome

So about 2 months ago my Galaxy 1's battery got really low but when I plugged it into charge it it said "Use genuine battery only. Shutting down in 10, 9, 8, ...ect..."
After calmly trying to explain to the phone that the battery it had was the one it had always had, I decided "well it's 1.5 yrs old so it's possible the battery has gone bad." Got a new battery and it has worked just swell up until now. Same scenario. Battery was really low, plugged in the charger (which is the original wall-wart that it came with, has always worked..ect..) and we're back to the use genuine battery only stuff again.
I am an electronics tech but admit I have very little knowledge of these particular kind of Li-ion batteries. There are 4 terminals but I know, because of its 3.7V nomimal, that it is only a one cell battery so I was wondering is it still possible the battery can get out of balance somehow when it gets too discharged and cause this issue? Is there something I can do as far as manually balancing these terminal? Is this balance idea completely wrong anyway? Is there anybody who knows what causes this/how to fix it? I guess what I ultimately want to know is: What is the phone seeing on this battery that is making it think it's not genuine????
I am very frustrated because, as I said earlier, I am just a poor electronics tech and really don't want to pony up another 40 or 50 bucks when this could just happen again and I will be getting a new in August anyway.
HELP!!!!
please

Thats not the issue I can assure you I know about vsync I have allways used it I just hate screen tearing. The problem isnt going to 30fps Ive tried real time fps monitoring. It happens with literally every game no matter what the graphics settings Is.
I have however narrowed down the issue, I have connected an external screen via hdmi which bypasses the intel graphics adaptor and its butter smooth, The problem lies somewhere with how optimus works or the driver. As optimus always uses the intel graphics adaptor to output to the laptop display that has to be the issue. I have tried updating the intel display adaptor drivers but no joy

Maybe someone can help me on one of these issues

i just felt like sending a VERY long rant to apple through the itunes feed back. so if someone believes they could help me, please take a few minutes to read this. i have just copied and pasted it.
*SIDENOTE* I i have erased all itunes program files between unintstall and reinstall. i only kept music, pictures, videos, and apps when i did a super-erase-and-install of the latest itunes.
i have the newest iTunes software. my music used to be in iTunes media>music folder, now all of a sudden, the "music folder is gone, and all the artist folders are mixed with "automatically add to iTunes, downloads, tones, podcasts, and TV shows" folders. and the "mobile applications" folder is in the "iTunes folder" which lies outside of the "iTunes media folder.
(This has all come up since ios 5 BTW) ITUNES MATCH SHOULD NOT BE YOUR ONLY CONCERN
ALSO i own 1854 songs, and when i try to manually manage music and videos for my iPhone 4 with ALL THE LATEST SOFTWARE, iTunes will not let me manage my music because it believes i have 26.9 GB and 3210 songs on my phone, and i only have 1854 songs as i mentioned before.
ALSO smart playlists do not work on my phone that are made in iTunes, no matter what i set for a smart play list, all the songs within the playlist are shuffled no matter what i do.
ALSO, mail does not push from my two YAHOO email addresses. It only pushes my @me.com address.
ALSO i can no longer download media passes from the iTunes store on my iPhone, my only way of fixing this is to buy the pass on my computer, and i have to wait till the **** episodes are available in "purchased TV" episodes in the iCloud instead of them being available to download on my phone when they are available.
ALSO, iCloud is supposed to backup my iPhone at night when it's charging, locked, and not in use right?? then why the **** does it never do that and it always says it's last backup was when i manually backed it up the previous Sunday night.
all i have left to say is, whoever the **** "Tim Cook" is, needs to whip you people into shape and get your **** together before you lose this company again. Steve jobs isn't going to save you this time.. and i will mention I'm only 20 years old so i don't have any clue what your company's history was like before the iPod touch. i started buying apple products when the iTouch 2nd gen came out.
if you guys keep up with this ****** software management, I'll find myself using whatever the newest DROID is 18 months from now after my 2 year contract with AT&T.
Written from my iPhone 615-xxx-xxxx

Battery problems... HELP!!!

Hi,
A few nights ago, I noticed my battery stopped charging, although when I plug the phone into the charger it has the charging symbol. It is a generic charger. I replaced the battery with a new one, and had the same problem. I then sent my phone away to be 'repaired'. I don't know what they did with it, but when i got it back, it had full battery, and seemed to be working. Now when I plug it in to any charger, it will reboot, or freeze. When I plug it into my laptop it shows the charging symbol and does nothing.
What do I do??? I'm getting desperate :s
Thanks in advance

See if you can connect this way, and load the OS fresh.
First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.

Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.
