Why do I have to charge my iPhone twice a day?
Hi guys,
I have a 9 month old iPhone that I barely use - except for the checking the internet briefly every hour or so and I end up having to charge it to 90% twice a day.
I always recharge when the battery hits 20% and I follow all the basic battery saving tips such as bluetooth, location,WIFI off etc. I generally leave the 3G on all day and I prob send about 4 or 5 texts, rarely calls.
Does anybody know what could be causing such poor battery performance?
Thanks in advance.
PS - It's a 4S running iOS6. I'm hoping I don't have to replace the battery after only 9 months? I have fully discharged/charge cycled once a month also. Can anyone advise if they have had a faulty battery if the warranty covered a replacement?
Cheers
Try restoring as new, i.e. without your backup.

It depends on how much you use it. If the battery runs down and you are not using the phone then there's an app that is running away uncontrollably. See: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. However, if you actively use the phone for more than 6-8 hours a day then its normal.

I have to charge my iphone 4 every day. I bought it one week ago.
I think there is something wrong with the battery. Battery performance is totally different from what Apple claims.
I turn off push and location service. I don't have any email account set up on my iphone.
Does anyone have the ideas? Thanks in advance.sharpshootermtz wrote:

To be honest, I don't have much time to play with my iphone 4. What I am sure is that it is totally different from what Apple claims.
Apple recommends that I should charge the iphone 4 to 100% and drain it completely. What does "drain it completely" mean - to 0% or to around 20% where "low battery warning" appear?
Draining it completely means from 100% or wherever your battery is left, you are draining it down to 0%, where it will automatically power off because there isn't much power left to the device. Technically speacking, once the phone reaches 1%, it will take a few minute and the phone will completely shut off. This is how you know you drained the battery.
Try resstoring the phone and set up as new and see if that fixes the issue. If not, you might have to drop in at the apple store and have them check it out. -
Hi Since updating to ios 7.04 i have noticed the phone consumes so much more power. I have to charge the phone twice sometimes 3 times a day. WHY?
Hi,
Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all?? -

Charge your iPhone whenever you want to. There are no limitations on when or the duration of charge. Normally it will charge in 3-4 hours with the wall charger, longer if you use a computer USB port.

When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why? I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.
1. set up as new
2. transfer you wife's purchases.
3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.
Enjoy. -
Since updating to iso7 my battery is needing to be charged at least twice a day.ive always looked after my battery and only ever charge when less than 20% so why is this happening? Thankyou
It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.

Hello guys..!! I have got my new iphone 4 2 days ago.The same day it got a problem of auto restart in every 1, to 2 minutes. I updated and restored it many times...but of no use... can any one help me how to solve this problem..!!
Go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. the connecto to iTunes and restore as a New phone. Do not restore any backup. If the problem persists you have a hardware problem. Take it to Apple for exchange.
This assumes that the phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is you will have to go elsewhere on the internet for help. -
HT3702 Why do I have pending charges on my bank account for free games
I have pending charges on my bank account for free games ? Whys that?
Have you made in-app purchases in the games ? Though the games may be free to download some then allow in-app purchases to unlock extra features or levels etc.
And/or did you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - read the page that you posted from for more info. -

How many hours do I have to charge my iphone 5 for the first time?
i just bought an iphone 5 and I want to know how many hours do i have to charge it in the first charge. Thanks you very much for all your answers.
You don't need to charge it unless you want to or it needs it. You can and should charge as often and as long as possible... deep discharges are hard on lithium batteries. Normal mobile use will result in the one charge cycle/month that Apple recommends.

Why do I have to restore my iphone repeatedly?
My iphone keeps dying and I have to restore my iphone repeatedly. I just restored as a new devise last week. Today I tried uninstalling and installing an app that refused to open and all my apps disappeared even the pre-installed ones like mesaages, itunes, phone and such? Is it time to get a new phone?
I still have a fully operational original iPhone so while it absolutely can, that doesn't mean that it will. There's a number of things that could cause this. You could check with your local Apple Store to see if it can be repaired but personally I would just get a new one in your scenario.

Why do i have to store each contact twice?
why do i have to store each contact on my iphone twice, once with the country code so that his name will display when i recieve messages from him and another time without the country code so that his name will display when i receive calls from him?
is it something with the software or with my service provider or maybe there is something i should activate in my settings?Those may be a hidden file under Lion which is why you cannot find it.
Should be located at: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
I do not know why you were "forced" to download it twice unless you opted for a custom download location the first time. Doesn't happen when I do it. I'm not sure what email you are referring to.
Good luck to you, maybe someone else will come along and be more helpful to you.

Hi, i have been having problems charging my ipad3 for some time now (very slow). The power is now down to 5% and i have been charging it for 4 days now without any movement. The charging flash is showing yet does not seem to be charging. Please can anyone help.
Are you trying to charge it plugged into the wall with its supplied power brick? It's best charged that way.
You can try to swap out the power brick and cable to either rule those out or rule them in as the issue.
You can also try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
