Why does my battery not last?

I just got my iphone on wednesday. Yesterday and today my battery wouldnt last for more than 10 hrs. I didnt really do anything with it except text during the day at work but it wasn't constant, maybe one or two every 20 min MAXIMUM. and by the time I left work, it was down to 35% roughly. I guess I'm somewhat frustrated that it doesn't last. I know apps can run in the background. I have OS 3.1.3 and I dont know how to end my apps via buttons so I turn it off and back on. I'm not on a wireless network although they are everywhere at work.
Is there a way to see what programs are running? How do I end apps with buttons? Can I do anything to make my battery last longer? Thanks in advance

  • HT1476 Why does my battery not charge?

    I started having problems a couple of days ago when I noticed that non apple cables don't charge my phone anymore. But last night I tried to plug my phone to an apple charger and it took or ten times before it started to charge. I had tried about three plugs before one finally worked after many tries.please help because I am not due for an upgrade yet.

    Even the apple wires that come with the iPhone are having difficulties to connect all of a sudden. Could this be a software issue, or is my iPhone just done??? If it is it didn't even last two years and I promise it's gonna be the last apple product I buy!!!! I hope apple reads this. Thanx for the reply.

    4.  checked and cleaned the pins on the magsafe
    5. checked and cleaned the magsafe port
    any ideas?  i appreciate your response!

  • HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

    why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
    and why is clock not available on ipad????

    Because that is a decision the Apple made.  You can get the battery percentage (within 5%)  by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

  • Why does my battery go low fast?

    Why does my battery goes so fast ?

    You can't overcharge the battery. The circuits in the iPod prevent that. For maximum battery life Apple does however recommend almost furlly discharing and then fully charging the batter monthly.
    How long does the batter last and what is the iPod doing during that time.

  • Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera?  and remains black during FaceTime, iphone 5 6.1.3 completely restored to factory

    Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera?  and remains black during FaceTime calling over wifi even to a macbook, iphone, ipad 2, ipod touch and the device i have is iphone 5, 6.1.3 completely restored to factory, 5 times, 4 without restoring from back up, the last one i figured might as well have my content on it if its not going to work anyways.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why does front row not have simple organization?

    I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

    You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
    But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

    Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

    The same is happening to me on my 4 and 4S... Before the software update my battery used to hold up to 1 day for both 4 and 4S. Now I have to charge twice a day the iPhone 4 and three times a day the 4S. Apple should really fix it... I hope they release a new update for iPhone 4 and 4S users...
