Upgrade to version 4.3 - experiencing battery dying at rapid pace

A few das ago I accepted the Verizon update to Android version 4.3 on my Note II. I am now experiencing battery drainage at a rapid pace. For example, After 3 hours of light use the battery is at 75%. This is leading to the battery needed charged throughout the day whereas before the update I never had to charge throughout the day. Is anyone experiencing this issue or does anyone have any suggestions. (I don't think the battery is weak yet). Thanks.

I'm experiencing this same problem.
If I look at the battery statistics, "Google Services" has 43%. In comparrison, the display only has 8%.
I received the 4.3 update last week. The first day, it was awesome and then it started to go down hill. I can't make it through the day, and I rarely use my phone except at night. Typical use would put me at ~65% battery at the end of the day.
Last night I had to put it on the charger around 7pm because it was at 4%. When I woke (6:30am), it was at 36%. I'm assuming that "Google Services" is just chewing up battery too fast.
I did some research on the issue before I came here looking for an official word from Verizon. It appears that many Samsung customers across various carriers are having problems. Samsung is pointing fingers at google. Supposedly there was a patch to resolve the issue, but this patch hasn't been made available to verizon customers.
At this point, my phone is unusable. If it's not attached to a charger, it will go dead. I have a feeling this is putting some unnecessary strain on my phone and battery.
Please help.

File corrupt whilst working on it when battery died?!! why?! help?

Hey everyone,
I use a Macbook Pro and I've been working on a really important file in Flash CS3 for the past week, and whilst working on the latest version outside yesterday, my battery died suddenly (it had run down, but no message came up to warn me)...
When I restarted my Macbook and tried to reopen this file it came and still comes up with the message "Failed to open document"... All my other files are fine, it's just the file I was working on.
Another message appeared only once, saying something like "Javascript error... cannot find file" but I haven't been able to get that message up again to note it down in full.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? Is there any file recovery software I can use? (preferably free! I'm a student!!) Is there an explanation to why this has happened?? It shouldn't have!
Please help if you can think of anything! I can't even find an apple support number that appears relevant... This file is really important, I've lost days of work that I need asap!
Is there any hope?
Thanks,
Hannah

I have no idea if it is possible to recover the file. Never, ever edit the only copy of a file. It should have been backed up to a different location after every update to the file, preferably under different names so you could roll back to previous versions at any time. Thumb drives are cheap insurance against the problem that you encountered. Does CS3 make it's own backup copies?

Upgrades ipad2 to 7.1 battery died and now it's locked

I upgraded my ipad2 to 7.1 and it was working fine until my battery died. Now that it's charged it's locked and I have never created a pass code and I can't get in. Help!

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

BB Z30 - Upgrade to version 10.2.1.3247 - Improved battery life

On 09.09.2014 I got a notification about an available OS upgrade to version 10.2.1.3247 and I installed it. After the upgrade the battery life of my BB Z30 improved dramatically.
Thank you BB Team!

Software upgrades often include great performance enhancers such as better battery life so I'm glad you're happy!

Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade? It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE!

Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade? It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE! I've had worse luck with the i5 than the i4. This is the first time I regret being in a two year contract. I might add that this is my 3rd i5

So now 12 days later and another replacement I'm still having issues and apple still isn't helping. My phone has started shutting off unexpectedly again today. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?

Iphone 5S battery not holding a charge after upgrading to version 8.2

The battery for my iPhone 5S is not holding a charge after I upgraded to version 8.2
The exact problem happened when I upgraded the last time!

Battery dying faster than normal and I have been to the Apple Store and battery is fine

Is anyone else experiencing this? Both my iPad and my iPhone 5 started to have the battery die 2x faster after the latest upgrade. I have reset it without losing data and I am about to reset one of them back to original. Any one have any suggestions? I am thinking that one of my apps is trying to always load or search for wifi but not sure and don't know how to figure out which one it is.
I have been to the Apple store and they have checked my batteries and both are fine. The staff suggested that I let the battery die right down and completely charge it and then shut it down for a few seconds. so that the device is " clean" and then turn it back on but that didn't work at all.

You can poke around in the settings. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. Such as notifications. Background app update, background app update. Try turning those off and see if that helps.

My 16b 3gs was working perfectly. The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also neohook up to itunes for restore. It also had a little exclamation button that reads: IMEI:unknown and just below it read ICCID: Unknown. Nothing else

My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior. I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice. One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,, The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least. I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it. It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work. IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case. I completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g.   I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct. So I spent hours getting nowhere with this. Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow. Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone. Fair is fair. So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4 xoxo toodllloooo

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I upgraded to version 7.3.1, msg box said i had authorized a new machine

After I finished upgrading to version 7.3.1, a message box appeared saying that I had authorized a new machine.
"Machine Authorization was Successful. You have authorized a total number of 4 machines out of your available 5."
Wait, why did upgrading my iTunes application on my same computer cause me to use up a machine authorization?
The previous number was 3 and now I've authorized a 4th machine simply for upgrading on the SAME computer? That's not fair.
Has anyone experienced this problem? What should I do about it. Apparently upgrading is a VERY bad idea because it will use up your machine authorizations for no reason!

If you've ended up with multiple authorisations on that PC, the following document may be of some help with getting the count correct on it again:

Upgrade to Version 7.1 (11D167)

My iPad (retina) has slowed down since the upgrade to Version 7.1 (11D167) and I am not sure but think the battery is not lasting as long.
When I say slow down I mean that some pictures (which never gave me probs) are now taking a loooong time to load on Facebook and Safari.
As regards the battery it seems to be running down more quickly.

This has persisted and I notice that accessing some websites taies a longer time and sometimes just slows to a halt.
I have a fibre broadband wi-fi connection and have tested the speeds which are showing up as fine at the router.
Problems only started after download of 7.1
Disappointing!

After upgraded to version 5 few things missing..

Hi,
I am using blackberry curve 8520.. I have been using this for almost a year already. I noticed, there are few things missing and some problems occurred when I upgraded to version 5. Eg. Memopad, No column in option for alarm tones, my BB getting slower during browsing, everytime I try to connect to wi-fi, it will be intermittent or not connected.
For unable to connect to wifi, I suspected it is browser issue but then I set to default setting it is still the same.
Can somebody help me to rectify this please?
Tq.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Memopad: 1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?
If still can't be found, read this link.
Alarms tones? Can you elaborate?
Slow or lagging device, please see below.
i don't know about your WiFi issue, you would also need to elaborate your problem.
To prevent freezing or lagging/slow response on any BlackBerry, the most important practice you can adopt is to be sure to CLOSE applications when you are finished using them.
If you just hit the red "end call" key to go back to the home screen the application actually stays open and running in the background. If you do this repeatedly you will have lots of apps open and consequently your memory will get used up. Lack of memory is the biggest reason your BlackBerry slows to a crawl or locks up. If you get into the habit of actually using the menu key to close the applications this will at least slow down this memory-clogging process. You still may have to do a battery pull or use the "Quickpull" app once in a while when things get slow.
To check what applications are running on your device in the background, press the Menu key then choose Switch Applications. You will see the icons of each application there.
So now, check your applications running in the background. There are commonly four or five applications that will always be running (Messages, Call Logs/Phone, BlackBerry Messenger, Homescreen, and the Browser; there are other third party applications such as BeeJive, and BlackBerry Alerts which will also run in the background which you cannot close if you want them to operate). Make certain that the browser is NOT on an active webpage (open the browser and choose Menu > Close). Close any other applications that do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or Google Maps).

HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing

Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify. It is as if airplay is not runing. A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

My iPhone 4s's battery dying with battery still left?

I've been noticing recently, that my iPhone 4s keeps dying before it has 15% left. It doesn't even come up with any warning that the battery has a certain amount left, it just turns off unexpectedly (and when I try to turn it on, it comes up with the red battery thing). I could be doing anything (even taking pictures) and it suddenly just dies. When I put the charger in, it turns itself back on and today it said it had 29% of battery left and charging. The battery may be out of sync because I haven't charged it for a few days and it stayed at 40-29% (though I only used the stopwatch for the past few days which may explain why the battery hadn't gone down much).
I cannot take it to get someone to look at it because- a) I bought it off eBay so someone else owned it before me b) the warranty has ran out already (I checked online on the apple warranty checker thing).
I have dropped it twice in the past 7 days, but I don't drop the phone often and I have a protective flip case which seems to stop it getting more scratches (it already has a small crack and loads of scratches from the previous owner, though they never mentioned anything about them- didn't even mention anything about water damage so I doubt there was any water damage to it).
If anybody could help, I would be really grateful

Upgarde to 8.1.3, battery died, Ipad 2 dead now

I upgraded to 8.1.3 either on the 5th or 6th of February. As soon as the upgrade was complete and the tablet restarted battery had drained from 70% to 12%. Plugged it in to charge but battery wouldn't charge. By morning, batter had drained to about 5% and then by evening battery died and wouldn't charge. Now I have a dead Ipad. Tried to get it repaired, said it would cost Rs. 17,500 (~USD 300).
Tried using two different cables, chargers, no change.

Good day kjogani,
Based on the fact that you are still unable to get your iPad to charge, it appears your iPad needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.
